It was not a horrible hotel, but for the price, I was definitely disappointed. The room was old and in need of renovation, as was most of the hotel.The location was great and the view beautiful as well. When we had checked in, they had put us in a room facing the docks, which was not a very nice view,... More

I stayed here only for one night for business - arriving quite late and leaving early so maybe not appreciating fully all that the hotel has to offer. The room was the usual smallish as you would expect in Japan with a fancy loo! I also could not find any english on the TV channels so i did give up,maybe... More

This is a great hotel in the redeveloped harbour area (think Baltimore inner harbour) of Kobe. The hotel is nice and grand inside. The room was quite small (normal for Japan) but had a nice balcony and views of Kobe. The room had all the toiletries you need, especially helpful when KLM have lost your bags. Word of warning, the... More

I have been already twice in this hotel located in the middle of the Kobe harbour. The atmosphere is very nice and the staff very proud to help and support for any Customer need. Also the breakfast is excelllent despite very very expensive. I also suggest to have a drink in the sky lounge bar on top of the hotel;... More

Great room, great breakfast, great location! Can't say enough good things about the place.... My fiance and myself were travelling with some friends in Kobe, and we all stayed at the Meriken Park Oriental in ajoining rooms... we had a great time in the city, and had a great sleep in the room, and the follow-up breakfast in the morning...

I stayed just one night before boarding a cruise and this hotel is the perfect choice for this purpose. Right on the wharf, it really sets the mood for your voyage. True, the rooms are not cheap and the practice of charging for pool access is a bit unusual. My room, 1143, was fine albeit quite small. Included internet access... More

Conveniently located close to the Mosaic Harborland and the Kobe Port Tower (about a 5~10-minute walk).The hotel room is clean and comfortable, and you can sit out on the balcony to enjoy the stunning view of Kobe at night!

Cons: 1. This is the first hotel that I've been that charges staying guests to use their pool. & the charge is around USD10. which is exhorbitant considering the hotel rooms isn't cheap to start with. 2. The TV is tiny. For a supposedly 5star hotel, the TV is LCD,but only 26inch which was hard to watch in quite a... More

This hotel located near the Mosaic shopping mall and is not too far away from downtown Kobe (Sannomiya station). There are 2 shuttle buses (free of charge for hotel guests) running between the hotel and the bus terminal near Sannomiya Station or the Kobe JR station. We stayed in the "sea-view" room which got a nice view of the harbour... More
