I don't know the price because I stayed there on a tour, but the room didn't come with changing clothes in the public bath. I was concerned about the hair dryer. The hair dryer in the public bath was as low as I expected, so I went back to my room to use the hair dryer. However, the hair dryer in my room has even lower output. Is there wind? So much so that I confirmed it.The man at the front desk was also curt and treated me inappropriately, which made me feel uncomfortable.

Stayed for one night. Check-in and check-out were very smooth and I had a comfortable start to my stay. The room was also nice, very clean and comfortable. The hot springs were fed directly from the source, so I was able to relax and relax, which was really nice. In particular, the hot spring water felt gentle on the skin and refreshed me. The food was very delicious and I was satisfied with both dinner and breakfast. It would have been better if the water bath in the sauna was a little colder, but overall it was a very satisfying stay. I would definitely like to use it again next time.

I came here not to stay overnight, but to enjoy the breakfast buffet at the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel. Although it was a bit expensive, I was able to enjoy the luxury. It was the same Sheraton I stayed at when I went sightseeing in Europe, and I felt good remembering that time.Afterwards, I went up to the second floor where the lobby was, and even though I went there in mid-October, it was tastefully decorated for Halloween. As expected from Sheraton.As I looked around to find something to commemorate, I saw a souvenir shop called Bay Leaf, so I went in. The prices of the products here are reasonable, just like in other tourist destinations in Japan. I bought clear files with famous places in Kobe written on them for my friends.From this hotel, you can go to the Ryohei Koiso Museum of Art. Family Mart and Kirindo are also nearby, so it seems convenient.

hokansu on wedding anniversaryWe stayed overnight and had dinner and lunch.I don't remember what made me choose Kobe Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers, but it was by far the best hotel I've stayed at in the past few years, and everything was wonderful.With clean rooms, hospitable staff, luxurious and delicious meals, and even a natural hot spring, this hotel is highly recommended for anniversaries and holidays.There is an elevator exclusively for guests to the natural hot spring Hamasen, and although it is a luxury hotel, you can go from your room to the hot spring floor in a yukata, making it the ultimate urban resort.The French cuisine at Dining KOBE GRILL, which is located on the top floor overlooking Rokko Island, is so exquisite that you will forget the time.I made a reservation through a reservation site, and when I ordered an additional cake for dinner over the phone, the staff member who responded to my request was really kind and polite, and informed me that I could change the breakfast buffet to lunch if I checked out late. Yes, that's what we did.The lunch buffet has a wide variety of items and tastes like a Sheraton.The tempura was freshly fried in the live kitchen, and the saury was grilled over charcoal and served, which was very delicious.It was a wonderful and memorable wedding anniversary.Next time I would like to bring my children with me.

Thank you for your help during my trip to Kobe.Although the location is a little far from the city, there is a large free parking lot.It was spacious inside and felt clean.It was a buffet with half board included,Both were very delicious.There is also a hot spring, so you can soothe your tired body from sightseeing.There is also a sauna, but unfortunately the water bath was lukewarm.As a side note, please be aware that some room plans do not come with in-house wear.We weren't included.
