A great one night stay in Kobe! The hotel is very close to the train/bus station which is extremely handy! It’s also only a 15-20 minute walk to Harborland! The staff were polite and friendly! The rooms are a little small but that’s normal for Japan,but it was impeccably clean and the bed was very comfortable. The TV has Netflix etc which was great! The WiFi Password can also be found on the TV! There is a little table and chair in the room which is handy should you need to work! There is also a 7-11 right below the hotel and I believe laundry service is available however we didn’t use this nor make use of the breakfast although the breakfast area looked nice! We had only one night in Kobe but I would have happily stayed at this hotel longer!

The breakfast is very diverse and plentiful! There are 24-hour coin laundry service on the 7th and 12th floors. The hotel is located right above Kosoku-Kobe Station, and the famous Minatogawa Shrine is just across the street. Although the Sannomiya Station area is more convenient, staying here (at Kobe Station) is also a great choice.

We had a wonderful stay at SK Hotel Kobe Ekimae. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the breakfast each morning was delicious and satisfying. The hotel’s location is convenient—situated just above Kōsoku-Kobe Station, it made getting around the city very easy. What truly made our experience special was the kindness and helpfulness of the front desk staff—especially Ms. Tanaka. She went above and beyond to assist us during our stay, and we are truly grateful for her support. Highly recommended, and we would love to stay here again!

Staff

The standard double room gives you a full-sized bed instead of a twin, but no extra floorspace. Would be a little cramped for two guests. I'd therefore suggest saving money and going with the single room if traveling solo. Also, the staff is strict about not allowing checkins until 3:00 PM, which was a bummer for me since I arrived in town early. But they do offer free lockers to securely store your bags if you arrive before 3:00 PM.

Conveniently located just two blocks from Kobe Station but zero noise. There's an excellent supermarket and laundromat within two blocks. The building and especially the entrance/lobby area is 4 star all the way, and features a 7-Eleven on the ground floor. Clean, quiet, and freshly-updated room with zero wear. Excellent Internet too.

TV only available in Japanese for the hotel menu page - but nothing major that google translate couldn’t help us with! 😊

Very convenient with fantastic staff. We had a twin deluxe room and it was incredibly spacious! Very comfortable nights rest after long days exploring. Lovely shrine just over the road too to visit. 7-11 on the ground floor also incredibly handy. Breakfast again was fantastic - very friendly staff once more and selection was great! Incredibly tasty - one of our best breakfasts we have had in Japan! So close to the Kobe harbour land for sights/shopping/food and for trains to explore - we had a day trip to Himeji from here and found it easy to navigate. PS - can highly recommend the mosaic area for food - we tried 8 Eighth beef. Overall would stay again - Excellent value for money - thank you! 😊
