Seaside Hotel Maiko Villa Kobe

I actually booked the wrong date for this hotel, and came 2 months before my actual booking. I arrived close to midnight and was quite frantic since there were no other hotels in the area. Reception very kindly accepted my reservation which I am eternally grateful for. The hotel is very clean and quiet. Slippers and drinking water are provided. The hotel is actually quite large, and the breakfast buffet spread (although expensive) is well worth the price considering the variety and quality. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a beautiful view of Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge.

Gorgeous bridge view and easy to catch the highway bus to Awaji from Maiko station. Large twin room, slightly old but very clean. Instant coffee in the room. Not far to walk from Maiko station, follow the signs and use the elevator to get up the hill. Basement onsen quite nice but my skin was itchy afterwards. Can open window for fresh air. Four front loading washer/dryer combos with paid soap dispenser. I find these machines take a very long time and don't dry well.

The hotel is located outside Kobe near a train station (about 7-10m walk). There are signs on the train station that guide you to the hotel. The train runs pretty often but less often than in the city. The room with a view of the bridge was excellent. We enjoyed watching the ships and traffic. The hotel itself is magnificent. The breakfast had a lot of choice and was really good.

Very convenient location right next to Maiko station, I had a work conference on Awaji the next morning. The breakfast was great and the hotel was very nice. The room was a comfortable size.

All of the restaurants were exceptional. Everyone on the staff was professional and friendly. I could not be happier with the entire experience. I will definitely return
