The staffs are always wellcoming and kind. The room conditions are good in terms of cleaness and facility. Japanese-style breakfast is not sumptuous but quite good, with various sidedishes and deserts. A free access to a coffe machine on the lobby is also a good point for me. There is a microwave on the first floor, helping us in preparing kids' meals brought from a convenient store near the hotel. One of the most convenient points is that usb outlets are just next to beds, making charging electronic devices very easy without a converter. In terms of location, the hotel is a considerable option for travelers who want to walk around kobe's village not the crowded city center. The hotel is not far from the heart of the city, Sannomiya station --- ten minuites on foot, and just next to Ikuta shrine. Since this hotel is beyond the central streets of Sannomiya, the neighborhoods are calm and clean. Main attractions like Sorakuen and Kitano Ijinkan are easily accessable in 10 minutes on foot. Of course, Kobe city loop bus stop is not far from this place. Nearby the hotel, numbers of convenient stores, a couple of grocery shop, many restaurants are located. Services of this hotel are overall outstanding, including umbrella rental with free of charge.

As typical Japanese hotels, toilet of the hotel is also very small. The bed conditions are not really cozy, compared to other hotels. A smoking room is just next to the lifts, so one can smell smoke from time to time when awaiting.

My sister and I stayed here while she visited a friend at university. It's right near the West 3 exit of the Kobe-Sannomiya train station. It is also right across from the famous Ikuta Jinja so you'll be able to check it off your sightseeing list rather quickly! The room was quite comfortable and we slept well. They provide free bottled water -if I recall correctly- in your room each day. I always like to get the breakfast packages whenever I stay at hotels and I would say this was one of the best I've had in Japan. A large selection of items from Western-style breakfast staples to Japanese, Korean, and Chinese favorites. I would definitely stay at this hotel again when visiting Kobe.

Our family of four had the pleasure of staying at the Monte Hermana Kobe for a week. While the rooms were on the smaller side, they were exceptionally practical and clean. We especially found the wireless charger and USB connectors to be convenient additions, ensuring our devices were always charged. The hotel’s fast internet connectivity further enhanced our stay, allowing us to plan our outings and stay connected effortlessly. One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast spread. It offered an incredible variety of high-quality options that catered to all our tastes. It’s something we looked forward to each morning. The staff at Monte Hermana were both helpful and amiable, ensuring all our needs were met promptly. Location-wise, this hotel is a gem. Situated near the heart of Sannomiya, we had easy access to transportation, shopping, and dining. Moreover, convenience stores were just a stone’s throw away, making late-night snack runs a breeze. Despite its central location, the hotel maintains a serene environment, thanks to its positioning in front of the Ikuta shrine. This peaceful ambiance was a welcome respite from the bustling streets just a short walk away. In conclusion, our stay at Monte Hermana Kobe Amalie was delightful. From the thoughtful room amenities to its prime location, it made our trip to Kobe memorable. We highly recommend it to other travelers and will undoubtedly return on our next trip.

Compared to other accommodations of this price range the rooms are spacious and comfortable, the location is very convenient to relevant places and people for me, as well as the Sannomiya restaurants and conveniences, and access to Nunobiki and other places for nature walks. The breakfast choices were great, the staff at reception friendly and helpful.

The laundry has convenient washing machines but the dryers were not very effective. Everything else was great.

We enjoyed the location being so close to many shops and restaurants, as well as having a nice view and a quiet sleep. The room has plenty of amenities, including a steamer and straightener as well as free coffee at reception. Also, the TV has many streaming sites including YouTube and Netflix with a fast reception speed. It was also very helpful that check-out was at 11:00.

We found the room slightly small for our liking, there wasn't much space to store luggage. The lighting in the room was also slightly too dark at nighttime.

The room was simple, but clean and a lot more spacious (and better decorated) than the average Japanese business hotel. The facilities feel fairly new and everything is in good condition. Buffet breakfast had a reasonable selection of protein and vegetable options from Eastern and Western cuisines, though I would have appreciated some brown rice for the carbohydrate. Staff were very friendly. Comfortable beds if you like a firm/supportive mattress. Location is very good, about 5-7 minutes' walk from Kobe Sannomiya Station. About a million restaurants and shops in the immediate area.

The built-in digital clock by the bed is so bright that I had to cover it up in order to sleep.

The location is great for KOBE, walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Kept our luggage secure when we arrived early. Good WI-FI connect

Breakfast was an option we didn't pay for or use. However, it looked good. We went to a bakery a few blocks away.

I like how everything was accessible. We went during the new years so there were a lot of people but everything was walking distance so it was perfect

We were lucky to park our car at the front but I wondered if we went later that we wouldn’t be able to park our car up front. So I wish there were more parking spaces in the front.

It seems lately hotel reviews often say " the best breakfast in kobe." about many hotels. Actually, Hotel Monte Hermana Amalie really has the best breakfast! Especially for those who have a sweet taste! Clearly a step ahead of the other hotels. Great leafy, but central street; mega air conditioning; perfectly tasteful simple and elegant entrance room. Beautiful experience!

Very beautiful hotel, and good price. The location was perfect in Kobe. Also it is near a beautiful temple. The service was perfect on every aspect of the hotel, thanks to perfect educated staffs. The breakfast was wonderful with local and with other country’s foods. Sleeping quality was super (pillow, sheet, pyjamas).
