Amazing service and great location

Review of Oriental Hotel
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed May 7, 2019
My family spend 4 nights at this hotel during our spring break. In short, this will be our choice of hotel to stay in Kobe from now on. The hotel room, service, attention to details were one of the best I have experienced. We had 5 year old son with us and they provided him with small slippers - same color same material as ones they provided for adult guest!! All drinks including beer and sake in mini refrigerator were free! And if you are shopping at Louis Vuitton store (located just out side of hotel first floor), they will deliver your newly acquired bags to the room for free. And if you need to purchase a Lamborghini to drive around in Kobe, the dealership is just around a corner as well.
Date of stay: April 2019
Room Tip: I recommend rooms in high floors - great view of Kobe (mountain or port - your choice)

Well located hotel in Kobe very close to many attractions including the harbor. Nicely decorated rooms. Breakfast buffet is very nice as well. Service is simply excellent. Michiru Kikkawa located in the first floor really stood out with excellent service at arrival and departure. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Kobe.

A beautiful hotel with everything you could wish for. From a lovely entrance, stunning views from the bar area, fantastic breakfast buffet and not to forget the toiletries which were beautifully presented in a drawer. The room itself was so comfortable I did not want to leave. A separate bathroom and toilet (with heated seat), the list goes on. I guess the only thing I found annoying was the lighting was a tad too dark but considering everything else was perfect this was just a minor thing. I would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone wanting a luxurious hotel for their stay.

I couldn’t imagine a better stay in Kobe. From the service to the location to the food, everything was great. The Tepanyakai restaurant was amazing with a great view, the bar and bartenders were fantastic, and the room was very luxurious and spacious after coming from Tokyo. Don’t even second guess it, just book it. 👍

The hotel is good ... with an efficient staff, clean and spacious room.
The breakfast seating is a little odd, but if that is the only issue .. it was really compensated by the rest!

For the KOBE-restaurant see separate review
