Hotel Setre

Thank you very much for a wonderful day the other day. Checking in through gardens in full seasonal bloom was a delight, and your bright, courteous service immediately put us at ease. The Room with a front-row view of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge was spacious and spotless, and everything stood out as exceptional among all the Hotels and Accommodations we have visited so far; we could truly feel the Hotel’s thoughtful hospitality everywhere we looked. We had dinner in Kobe City and only breakfast at the Hotel, but the in-room breakfast was absolutely delicious. We happened to make a Reservation at this Hotel for our trip to Kobe, but thanks to the heartfelt care shown by all of your staff, we were able to spend a day that will remain a cherished memory. We would love to visit again. Thank you very much to everyone on the staff.

Having visited Hotel Setre for lunch before, I had long hoped to stay overnight along with dinner, and this time I finally did.The French dinner was excellent, perfectly showcasing the chef’s creative approach and commitment to ingredients from Hyogo Prefecture. The salmon fish course and the Kuroge Wagyu dish were especially memorable—both were fascinating in their use of ingredients and presentation. The soup was also outstanding, featuring corn “popcorn” inside.The staff provided courteous explanations throughout, which made the experience very pleasant.(A small disappointment—although we had time so it wasn’t a major issue—was that perhaps because our start time overlapped with other guests, some dishes arrived slowly midway through the meal, and at times drinks took a while or didn’t arrive even after ordering.)As for the stay itself, the Room was beautifully renovated and very comfortable. I had seen Reviews mentioning that the bathroom facilities were not well regarded, but perhaps those referred to before the renovation? Everything was very clean and easy to use.Also, when I made my Reservation on IKYU, only a four-person Room was available so I booked it reluctantly; however, when a twin became available the day before, I contacted the Hotel directly and they kindly changed it for me—I really appreciated that.It’s a place where simply gazing at the blue sea makes you feel as if life’s weight fades away. I was able to truly relax here, and I would love to return.
