Seaside Hotel Maiko Villa Kobe

We stayed in a connecting room for four guests, opting for the SPA Tower—very modern facilities and a spacious onsen-style bath area made the stay even more relaxing. The hotel’s surroundings are beautifully serene, with large, clean, and comfortable rooms that truly feel like a retreat. While the view of the Akashi Bridge was lovely, we had requested a higher floor in advance but were still assigned to the 3rd floor—slightly disappointing, though not enough to ruin the overall experience. Breakfast was exceptional: a wide variety of delicious options, served by friendly and attentive staff. There are multiple parking levels available, perfect for those driving, with a fee of ¥800 per entry—fairly reasonable considering the convenience. Overall, this was a memorable and well-organized stay, highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful getaway with great amenities.
