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.

We were travelling as a family of three. The room was spacious and comfortable for all of us, and the view from the room was absolutely stunning. Overall, it was a great experience. The only downside is that the location is quite far from Kobe city center — about 35 minutes away.

nice hotel, with japanese and western style rooms; in walking distance of Maiko Stn and Akashi bridge, easy ride to Sannomiya or Himeji (though i did choose the location for easy access to colleagues); very spacious room (as i knew from previous stays) and nice bar to spend an evening overlooking Akashi bridge and chat to colleagues

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.
