Stayed for two nights, good location, cleanliness, staff no problems, most of the staff and customers other than the front desk were Indonesian.What's wrong with the bottom of the bed and the dust on the desk?I want to go even if it's a 5 star hotel.Are there any other twin beds in the 5,000 yen range? Coin parking 2 minutes walk away for 330 yen per night! Meriken Park, Nankinmachi, Sannomiya, and Harborland are all within walking distance, the best value for money

Used for business trips.The customer service attitude at the front desk was under pressure, so the customer service was ▲. It felt like I was looking at it from above. I think it depends on the staff.There is no smoking room or smoking space, so it may be difficult for smokers to use it.The elevators require card key authentication, so it may be good for security, especially for women.The room is average. Air conditioner equipment is a little bad.There are many restaurants and pubs nearby, so you won't have any trouble finding dinner.

My family and I took two rooms, but the twin room smelled of sewage and was very smelly, so we had to change rooms.There were glasses in the twin room, but there were only mugs in the double room and no glasses, so I called the front desk and asked, but they said they only had mugs, but they had them in the twin room? When I said that, he reluctantly brought it to me, but then I was told as an excuse that the facilities were different depending on the room.The equipment may be different depending on the room, but every room probably has a glass. This was the first hotel I've ever stayed in that had a room without glasses.Maybe you just said it because it was a hassle to bring it, but can't you think that if you say that, you'll feel uncomfortable? Do I need to say things that don't need to be said?Looking at other people's reviews, it seems that the cleaning was not done well, so there is a high possibility that they forgot to refill the glass.Breakfast is Indian Nepalese food, which is tough for people who don't like spicy food, and there are many things that children can't eat.I think you should think about the service a little more. The only thing I was satisfied with was the location! I will never stay there again.

The location is very nice as you can walk to Chinatown, but the desk and shelves in the room were full of dust, which was the worst for me, who has a house dust allergy.I can see that it hasn't been cleaned for weeks, not just a day or two.I can't trust that kind of cleaning, so I cleaned the toilet myself and washed the sink cup before using it.I hope you didn't clean that area with the toilet brush...

Staying at HOTEL Miracle Kobe Motomachi, the hotel is quite satisfactory. After all, small rooms are the norm in Japan! But the strange thing is that the breakfast is Indian food. I have traveled most of Japan and this is the first time I encountered it😄Also, you are not allowed to smoke outside the hotel, and there is no smoking room inside the hotel😄The beach not far away is suitable for a dusk walk🚶

I stayed with my family of 4. Since I was in a hurry, I searched from my current location to find a place that was cheap and had a parking lot, and I happened to come here. It was stated that children under elementary school age could sleep in the same bed free of charge, but when we arrived, there were 3 beds, although one was an extra bed! In the photo of the room posted on the website, there was a glimpse of three beds, but I wasn't expecting that, but it turned out to be a miscalculation. It's already cheap at 7,100 yen + 2,000 yen for parking for 4 people, but should I hand over a towel for the younger child at check-in? Oh, I received small toys for two children...Is it possible to make a profit at such a price...? I was humbled. Also, the location is great. Every time I go to Nankinmachi, I want to stay here and then go home lol. At night, I went for a walk and walked towards the port tower, and I could even go to the mosaic.

It was conveniently located, 5 minutes walk from JR Motomachi Station and 3 minutes walk from Nankinmachi. I was able to walk to the port tower and mosaic. The room was a standard twin, 18 square meters in size, and was comfortable enough. Breakfast was Indian food.

It's just a good location, that's all.The room is so small that it's difficult to get through if you leave your suitcase there, the vending machine is only on the 7th floor, the elevators aren't fast, and you can't use the stairs, so getting around can be a hassle.The Wi-Fi in the room is slow and doesn't work, and for some reason the breakfast was an Indian buffet that would have been fine...but the taste was delicious, so it's okay.Although there are affiliated parking lots, they are not cheaper, and if the time you enter and exit time makes a difference, I don't think there is a need for affiliated parking.The location is good as there are commercial facilities and sightseeing spots nearby and you can walk there.That's really all there is to it.

Even though it's a weekday, accommodation rates are cheap. I am satisfied because both the inside and the room are clean. The location is really convenient as it's close to the downtown area, and I like that it's a little away from the downtown area so it's quiet. I often use it when I come to Kobe for work or travel.

The location was convenient and close to Meriken Port, and there were many delicious restaurants nearby.But there's a lot of trash under the bed! Are you really cleaning it, and how much dust do you have to do if you don't clean it? I was surprised with.

Front desk Tanaka (田中) was very rude. When we asked if we could check in, he was like the check in time is 3 pm. Of course we know it!!! We just wanted to leave our luggage in the hotel.Good thing a nice lady (also front desk staff) came to have our passports printed and helped us with the luggage.What did the man 田中 Tanaka do? Nothing!!! All he did was just told us the check in time was 3! Very rude and unprofessional!!!

Even an amateur can see that the air conditioner in the room is covered in dust. There were few amenities.There was a toothbrush in the room! There were no other supplies such as cotton, cotton swabs, razors, etc., so we recommend bringing your own. There is a Matsukiyo in the Motomachi arcade, so if you forget it, go there! The front staff forgot to tell me that July 5th was Ladies' Day and asked me to come back later to get it, so I received some juice and water after I went out. I would have been happy if you brought it.There is a single row of sofas in the waiting room next to the front desk, so if you sit in front of you, you have to walk in front of the person in front of you, so I thought it might be a good idea to rearrange them.

Fantastically convenient location surrounded by amazing food, cafes and shops and close to the harbour and other attractions; very comfortable room; friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is just a few minutes's walk to Nankin-machi (Chinatown), which is very lively and full of fantastic, cheap and delicious food. There are also plenty of restaurants and shops in the area, including "Bakery RIKI" just around the corner which does the most amazing pastries. The hotel is about 10 minutes' walk from Sannomiya, the main bar and entertainment area, or is one stop away on the nearby train. The Kobe port and harbour area is about 10 minutes' walk in the opposite direction. The room was very clean and pleasant, staff were lovely and helpful, the hotel had bicycles for guests to use and guests could request a late checkout or take advantage of luggage storage.Highly recommended.

Advantage1. There is a bicycle rental service, which is very convenient for visiting nearby areas.2. There are lockers on the first floor. It is very convenient to store shopping supplies in the lobby before going out.3. There are 7-11 and FamilyMart nearby, and it is very close to Nanjing Town and shopping streets.4. It can be reached within a 10-minute walk from the West Exit of JR Motomachi Station.shortcoming1. Breakfast is Indian cuisine served by Indians. They don’t speak English at all. There are very few food choices. The rice is overcooked. The drink machine is broken in turns. When there are guests, the pots are covered with lids. It seems that they are afraid of others eating.2. Breakfast problem 2. Because the waiter A asked about it on the first two days of the continuous stay, we knew that the restaurant provided Naan. On the third day of the continuous stay, the staff B did not take the initiative to ask. When I told me that I needed Naan at that time, he refused me, but after I persisted, he agreed to make it for me. If this restaurant wants to run well, please choose the restaurant you cooperate with carefully.3. The price of breakfast is not worth buying. This hotel will greatly deduct points for this restaurant.4. The light in the room was broken. I informed the counter staff at around 9pm and they told me "no English". I could only spend a bowl with the flashing lights. It would be better if he could strengthen the English skills of the staff. Serve

My bed was directly under the air conditioner, and when I turned on the air conditioner, water droplets fell on my face from the moldy vents, which was very unpleasant.
