Kobe MerikenPark Oriental Hotel

朝ごはんのハンバーガー最高

하수구 냄새 심각해서 화장실 이용하는동안 숨쉬기 힘들었습니다. 위치는 쇼핑하기엔 좋지 않지만, 뷰는 좋습니다

Excellent waterfront location and very friendly staff. The breakfast buffet was quite good.

This was by far the worst hotel experience I had in Japan. The staff were notably unhelpful, and the hotel is definitely not infant-friendly. Early check-in is not allowed—even just 30 minutes before the standard time—even when rooms are clearly available. The front desk also made no effort to explain the facilities or amenities; I only found out about the direct shuttle to Sannomiya Station through another tourist staying elsewhere. There’s no luggage delivery service, so if you're planning a stay here, pack light. Infant cots come with an additional nightly charge, and there’s no microwave in the room (even with suites). The freezer didn’t work either, which is a major inconvenience if you need to store breastmilk or ice packs. Cleanliness was disappointing too—there were stains in both the bathtub and on the bed sheets. The only upside was the excellent soundproofing. Even though the hotel is located right at the harbor, you won’t hear the ferries. That said, if you book a west-facing room, don’t expect a great view—ferries may be docked there, blocking it.

部屋からの夜景も最高でした。

よかったです。

As a solo female traveler, I could relax and enjoy my stay at Meriken Park Oriental Hotel. I dined at their Chinese restaurant on the 1st night. The staff welcomed and accommodated a perfectly positioned table for solo female diners who could enjoy the view without worrying about other diners' attention. On the 2nd day, thank you to the housekeeping staff; I spent most of the time in my room, relaxing and watching the view from the balcony during the day. For dinner, I used the room service and ordered the beef stew. The female staff delivered the food, which I felt at ease. To my surprise, the stew was delicious! My plan included the breakfast buffet; they offered a wide variety of foods, and I enjoyed it; if I may suggest, could you serve the egg dishes a bit warmer? Overall, I very much enjoyed my stay at the hotel. While I hope to return to the hotel with my husband on my next trip to Japan for a relaxing cruise-like experience without a cruise, I recommend solo travelers who want to experience the relaxing me time.

朝のビュッフェで､いろんなスムージーと搾りたてオレンジジュース､ライブキッチンのハンバーガーが特に美味しかったです。強いて言えば､野菜物（お惣菜とサラダ）の種類が増えると嬉しいです。 部屋は眺めも良く､花火や夜景がとても綺麗でした。また同じ部屋に泊まりに来たいと思います。メリケンパークの桜もとても綺麗で､この時期最高です。

Quiet area and the property itself was spectacular. Rooms were spacious, food was delicious. I would highly recommend staying here.

Quiet, clean, & comfortable
