The Okura Hotel in Kobe is a classic, high standard Hotel, very much liked for weddings and other celebrations. The hotel is conveniently located at Kobe harbor side next to Meriken Park for a stroll, about 15 min walking distance to Harbor Land (outstanding Shopping Center), and in 20 min walking distance to Sannomiya (more or less the center of Kobe). While the hotel is impeccable clean, it is by now becoming a little worn but the glory of past times can still be felt and the service is high standard. The breakfast buffet is delicious and I would recommend travelers to include within the hotel reservation. Only concern for international travelers: while the staff is able to answer common hotel booking related questions in English, more complex questions (e.g., bus services, railway services, etc) need time and patience… Under the bottom line, I will definitely book the Okura again on my next visit to Kobe.

We loved our stay here! Disappointed that the pool was only a lap pool that wasn't included in the cost; it is part of a health club and this should be made more clear on the website. Lovely staff, incredible rooms, amazing views, great breakfast buffet. My main reason for only giving it 4 stars is, for such lush and incredible rooms, the beds were hard as a rock (we booked 3 rooms, and all beds were the same). I would definitely stay here again despite the beds!

Hotel staff were very hospitable! Check in was simple and quick! They delivered my delivered luggage to the room ahead of time. The rooms are not up to date, but very clean and has all the amenities. Convenient location for points of interest near the waterfront but a 15 minute walk to Sannomiya. This was my second time in this hotel and I would stay again.

Great hotel with spacious rooms and convenient parking lots. Porters/bellmen service need improvement though! Arrived in a car (I drove) at the porte cochère to drop our luggages off first, but there was no one there to assist, had to run into the lobby to look for a bellboy to assist, but still had to wait for a bit before a bellman came.
