Top Kobe Hotel Reviews

Namba Oriental Hotel

Namba Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"So well located to plenty of places to eat and soak in the vibe, yet the rooms are quiet. It was worth getting the lounge access - a nice place to retreat to as required. The laundry room was amazing - such a well appointed and tranquil spot while you are keeping on top of chores - even had a coffee machine in there. The use of the washer and dryer were free, which is an absolute bonus. The hotel is a short walk to the subway - we were practically undercover the whole time while moving between transport and the hotel. Loved our stay here - would definitely recommend."
