Top Kobe University Hotel Reviews

THE RISE OSAKA UNIVERSAL BAYSIDE

10/10 Excellent

"This vacation rental was perfect for our needs. It is a seven minute walk to train station. The room is like a mini-condo with full kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a bathroom with shower and tub plus a washing machine. Separate toilet across the hall. It was very quiet despite being next to a river with industry near by. The sitting area has a couch and TV. The balcony has a rod to hang clothes to dry and there is another rod in the bathroom over the tub. Next door there is a building that houses a restaurant, hot springs bath and BBQ area. We did not use those facilities, but they are very conveniently located. There are several convenience stores within walking distance where food and essentials are available. We had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I would not hesitate to stay here again!"
