"Kobe Plaza Hotel West was a super convenient and comfortable base for exploring Kobe. The best part? The location. It’s only a few minutes’ walk from Motomachi Station, so getting anywhere is really easy.
You’re also right next to Motomachi’s shopping street and just a short walk from Chinatown, which means endless food options, snacks, cafés, and late-night bites. If you like wandering around and discovering little local spots, this area is perfect.
The hotel itself is clean, simple, and has everything you need. The rooms are standard size for Japan, they’re cozy and well-kept. Wi-Fi works great, and there’s even a laundry area on the 2nd floor, which is the same floor for breakfast.
Big shout-out to Julia, who helped us during our stay. She was super friendly and made our stay easier. Having someone that helpful at the front desk really makes a difference"
