Kobe is an amazing city to start with, and we always love spending time there. Now the kids wanted to enjoy the cruise and harbor land so Meriken oriental hotel was the best option for us.

The hotel is nice and the breakfast is particularly good in variety and tasty. Ity located near the water, but no much pathway to walk around to enjoy the ocean and view. E We basically had to take taxi in and out for several times a day to go out for food and activities.

We really enjoyed the view of the ocean from our room. The front desk staff was very helpful in suggesting restaurants and things to do in the area. The room was very clean and it was quiet. I would stay at the hotel again!

Best hotel in Kobe

Excellent location. Unique hotel with impressive design. Extremely clean. Ocean view rooms are worse the price. Very accommodating staff. The breakfast buffet is excellent and appealing to everyone.

Nice view with a balcony in Kobe Port

Nice view with a balcony. Location may require some walking if you are not driving or going around with a taxi, but thats the trade off with the view in the edge of the Kobe Port. Great breakfast choice. Friendly staff.

My room was dirty upon arrival. The walls were dirty and the carpet had a lot of stains. The fabric chairs also had a lot of questionable stains. The staff was very nice and helpful but I wouldn’t recommend the hotel due to its uncleanliness.

We loved this hotel, especially for the view from window and amazing patio. Would stay again just for the view. Room was nice and clean. Lobby was super luxurious and there's a convenience store in lobby. Also, free daily refreshments in lobby. Lots of views outside property too. Conveniently located in harbourland near malls, tons of restaurants, the tower, port, train, bus from short walk and lots more. There's a green line that loops the city nearby. We didn't want to leave and will definitely be back.

Booked last minute. Since the Yen is so weak my dollar goes along way. Executive corner suite was fantastic. Sort of a self check out thing that I needed help with, but the gentleman was helpful. Wasn't sure on daily service but got back to my room after a very long day and it was emaculate. Even my sweater was neatly folded. Combini on the third floor is you don't feel like going out. Second night I didn't so I popped in for a sando and chips and some beer. Sat out on my deck and enjoyed the harbor. I really enjoyed staying there. In the morning a cruise ship was coming in and was fun to sit out having coffee while they quietly pulled in to my right. If I wasn't looking wouldn't have even noticed they pulled in. Great park and very walkable for tons of food options.

This property is fine. It is large and convenient but tired. The common areas are a cross between a tacky cruise ship and an over the top Las Vegas Casino. The rugs in the common areas could use a good cleaning or replacement. The room smelled like someone had at one time smoked in it. The pillows were as hard as rocks. Rooms were dated and could use a solid refresh. Would I stay here again? Never, but if you are on a budget, the price was good.

I had a good time. The reception staff helpful though quite strict. I thought the buffet staff was guarding like I was in prison. The rooms are nice and comfy though tv’s would do better with an upgrade. Otherwise it was quite well located and easy to get a cab from. I feel like the staff should help you load and unload luggage especially when they see you are a family and are struggling. It’s a shame but I wouldn’t go back there though the location and views are amazing. Also, buffet is amazing if you are vegetarian or don’t care about kosher or halal meat. Otherwise you are left with very few options. I thought this could improve and they may see a wider variety of customers, from the middle if they they halal wagyuu/ Kobe beef. The ball is your camp 😜
