--- The property is not yet rated
Hotel Fine Rokko Kita Ichibanchi is an adults-only property positioned on the northern slopes of Rokko, roughly 9 km from central Kobe and about 23 km from Kobe Airport. Framed as part of a small regional chain, the property markets a mix of short-stay and overnight options and is described on the hotel’s site as offering spacious "S-rank" rooms that aim to evoke a villa-like atmosphere. Local sights such as Rokko Garden Terrace and nearby hot-spring towns are within easy driving distance, making the hotel a practical base for short excursions in the surrounding hills.
Guest accommodation is fitted for privacy and convenience: rooms come with air conditioning, a refrigerator, microwave, electric kettle and a desk, while bathrooms include a bidet, toiletries, a hairdryer and slippers. The property advertises a private bath option with a whirlpool/jacuzzi in some room types and supplies towels and bed linen; complimentary Wi‑Fi is available throughout. On-site services noted by the hotel include room service and a 24-hour reception, and a morning menu offering continental or American-style options is available for guests who book an overnight stay.
Practical details are straightforward: the hotel operates an adults-only policy (18+), does not admit pets, and provides free on-site parking with 25 spaces (roof height limit 2.35 m, five outdoor spaces). Standard check-in is listed from 18:00 with departure by 12:00, and the property highlights a small set of guest-focused amenities such as a jacuzzi and round‑the‑clock front‑desk service. This love hotel in Kansai is therefore aimed at visitors seeking a compact, private stay with easy road access to both natural attractions and Kobe’s city facilities.

Negative Reviews
Noticeable cigarette smell in some rooms
A number of guests reported a persistent tobacco smell in rooms, even when rooms were supposed to be non‑smoking, which affected comfort for non‑smokers.
Location and limited nearby amenities/transport
Some guests found the location less convenient if relying on public transport and mentioned a limited number of nearby restaurants or shops; a few suggested better access or clearer directions would help.
Inconsistent amenities and housekeeping lapses
There were reports of inconsistencies (for example, a massage chair present in some booked rooms but not others, missing bubble bath soap) and service issues on longer stays — missed daily breakfast deliveries after the first day, no room cleaning on one night, and no routine towel/amenity replacement in some cases.
Pest sightings and dusty storage areas
A few guests experienced insect issues (including being bitten) and noted dust on luggage storage surfaces that required a quick wipe before use, indicating occasional maintenance/housekeeping gaps.
Love‑hotel features not clearly indicated for some guests
At least one family party felt surprised and uncomfortable to find explicit adult items and in‑room vending aimed at couples; they would have preferred clearer prior notice about the property’s love‑hotel style to avoid awkward situations.
