Hotel Kobe Nada Ward

Nice place, nice view, great service. The Navg here is kind of hard, the GPS bring us to the tunnel underneath. Check out timing is kind of early.. 10am.

Hotel is located next to the highway. The car park is an internal smartpark system. So no need to park in public park area. Breakfast was delivered to your room. Choice of Japanese or Western breakfast. The spa bath was great, large bed and good airco system. Big TV and with great surround sound speakers on the ceiling. Design was modern and refreshing. Staff was friendly. They could have told me that breakfast would be delivered, I did not know this.

1. We are driving here. Please note that this hotel is behind the ”Guest House”. There is a small road leading into it. It is easy to miss it, so be careful! 2. The entire hotel can only accommodate up to five groups of guests. There is a very friendly and beautiful lady who speaks good English and is responsible for receiving us. 3. Our room is so big and comfortable, you can take a bath 4. There is a free 45-minute use of the open-air bath on the top floor. However, it was a bit cold at night, so we didn’t take a dip. However, you can enjoy the beautiful night view of Kobe there, so you have to go up and see it even if you take a dip!

Book a female dorm room for 4 people, but I was alone so have the room for myself. The bed is futon style, a thin foam and then the futon mattress itself. We get a new white sheet upon check in. There's a thin full body mirror, small rack for suitcases and personal belongings, but if you need to, there's also safe box near staff room. The female dorm room is on the 2nd floor, next to the shared kitchen so you can kinda hear other guests cooking or working on their laptop with the wifi. You can have your coffe, tea, cup ramen and even light cooking is allowed as they provided the pans, and also some seasonings. The sink and the toilet is next to it, hairdryers are available and the toilet has bidet seat. The shower room are on the b1f floor, which a little bit of hassle because you have to pass the staff room everytime. You can wash & dry you clothes too in the utility room next to it, but I dont know if they charge or not. Another kitchen and TV room is also here. Rental towels, bath robe, one time use shaver are also available. Over all a pleasant place if you only looking to for a place to sleep, and wash your self. It's 5 minutes walk from Oishi station. There's a small river near too which also a nice place for a small walk.

The hotel has a 180-degree view of Kobe city and harbor, which is very spectacular. The room facilities are also sufficient and the service is attentive. What is particularly unforgettable is that you can enjoy Kobe beef dinner in the room while facing the vast view. The only drawback is that the location is relatively remote and requires a shuttle bus to be picked up by the hotel. There are not many recreational facilities in the hotel, but it doesn't matter. The fare is withdrawn just to see the scenery.

Maya GH was awesome. I booked a female bedbunk & individual bunk was spacious and even a side to lay out all my amenties. The room even has a wooden table for common usage. The staircase was a little steep and tiny hence luggage will be helped to carry up or down checking in/out. Destinated Female restroom and shower was awesome. Second though, it is just beside railway hence ear plug was provided. The staff was all so friendly and cheerful greeting you in/out of GH. Oh, i save a small amount of the cablecar+ropeway trip as the GH has alias with Mt Maya. Had my NY celebration with them knocking the bell at shrine & early sunrise watching with the NY food prepared by them. Awesome stay with lovely neighbourhood.

Nice, professional and clean. One bottle of water per guest at a time though... but who needs two at a time anyway haha. Receptionists are polite and give you a bath salt (one per room, not one per guest lol)
