Seaside Hotel Maiko Villa Kobe

Gorgeous bridge view and easy to catch the highway bus to Awaji from Maiko station. Large twin room, slightly old but very clean. Instant coffee in the room. Not far to walk from Maiko station, follow the signs and use the elevator to get up the hill. Basement onsen quite nice but my skin was itchy afterwards. Can open window for fresh air. Four front loading washer/dryer combos with paid soap dispenser. I find these machines take a very long time and don't dry well.

Beds were hard and we found them quite uncomfortable. Available WiFi was unsecured. Only restaurant for dinner was 5000 yen per person buffet. Breakfast was 3000 yen per person and we didn't try it.

nice hotel, with japanese and western style rooms; in walking distance of Maiko Stn and Akashi bridge, easy ride to Sannomiya or Himeji (though i did choose the location for easy access to colleagues); very spacious room (as i knew from previous stays) and nice bar to spend an evening overlooking Akashi bridge and chat to colleagues

the japanese style room we got didn't really meet my expectations regarding maintenance and service (some shoji screens missing, not the service i'd expect at a ryokan), so will choose western style room for my next visit

Very convenient location right next to Maiko station, I had a work conference on Awaji the next morning. The breakfast was great and the hotel was very nice. The room was a comfortable size.

A lot of things closed early. The bar and spa both closed around 11. I also wished there was more info given about where the best place to view the bridge was or the rules for the spa. The dresser and tea kettle in the room also looked quite beat up.

Large, comfortable room with great views of impressive bridge over ocean to Awajishima. Excellent public bath. Short walk to seaside and train station.

Room was overly warm, even with heating turned off. We opened the window a bit, but there was traffic noise. Wanted to have a pre-dinner drink in rooftop bar, but it was not open.

Space is sufficient. View is excellent. Train station is close. The price is decent.

Bed is uncomfortable and old.

The view is wonderful. The room is warm and cozy. And the elevator to carry the guest under the hill is the greatest idea.

It is hard for a traveler with public transportation to find the location.

The view from the hotel, breakfast, cleanliness and their onsen.

I didn't research well but there aren't any spa facilities. My son was complaining about WiFi connectivity.

A great view of Akashi bridge from our room. It’s great for family stay in the tatami room.

Receptionists aren’t flexible and don’t have much knowledge about transportation to nearby tourist area. They can’t do much other than in their training manuals.

Fantastic view of the bridge, great location to visit Awaji Island.

Our room have a nice view. Walking distance to the train station.

Suggestion. There should have a staff know how to speak english.
