Seaside Maiko Villa Kobe

This review is only for the BBQ event they have. First of all, the location and view is great, provided you have a car to get there. As for the BBQ event, it isn't worth it. It's expensive and too short at 1:30 hr. The staff will tell you that your can stay for two hours before you start but they'll come around and tell you leave as soon as 1:30 hr as passed. Other than that the food and service were good.

(Trip was made back then on 6 Dec 2019, 2 years before the Covid-19 Pandemic hit) Picked this hotel as a stopover during our visit to Himeji Castle. Even though it might be a bit dated but the room was clean, super spacious and comfortable. If you’re lucky you might get a room with a view of Akashi Bridge like we did, where you could admire the bridge and its scenery.

Good location, only 10 minutes walk from Maiko station. Has a view overlooking the seaside. There is also a big mall nearby where you can shop. Service is good and rooms are clean and roomy. Good value for money. A good place for people looking to visit the area and nearby awaji island.

My room had a beautiful view of Akashi Kaikyo Bridge.. Buffet breakfast was also good with many varieties of food from rice, bread, soup, desserts and drinks.

Great view of the huge bridge. There's a free shuttle service from Maiko station. And also a free shuttle from the hotel to Marine Pia Outlet mall. One complain is that the beds are super uncomfortable.
