It was classy feeling hotel. Staff was nice and amenities were plenty. Something we had never seen before was mouthwash and leave in hair conditioner. The only annoying thing was that the hotel elevator always makes a stop at the second floor where the front desk is, even if you don’t want to. Directions to find the hotel are a bit off. Yes, it’s a 7-10 min walk from the station but that also depends from which exit. In frustration we walked from Shin Kobe to the hotel and back a few times. We were able for it though!! Our legs were fine and the day was beautiful so it wasn’t a problem. We did eventually sort it out, but finding the line that we needed to get off at (near the hotel) was not exactly easy. We found it more difficult than Tokyo or any of the other 12 cities that we went to on our trip. The beds were extremely comfortable, the room was large, the amenities were wonderful as explained earlier. We had bottled water in the room and towels left fresh for us each day if we didn’t want people to come into our room. There were toothbrushes and toothpaste, as well as bath cloths, face wash, face wash and moisturizer. We would definitely stay here again now that we know how to get there. It just wasn’t easy. This is also my seventh trip to Japan so it’s not as though I don’t know how to use the subway or to speak Japanese and ask for directions. As a final note, the Japan rail pass does not work on the regular (local) line so we did have to pay around ¥240 total for the two of us each time we accessed their local line. The room had a large TV that was a smart TV. We could watch Netflix or anything that we wanted. The bathroom was extremely large and the toilet and everything was totally updated. There was also a safe in the room, which we enjoyed. Of course Lawsons and 7-Eleven were directly across the street and there was a fridge in our room. There was enormous amount of shopping directly across the street as well as two McDonald’s and all kinds of Japanese restaurants. The shops were open really late.

“Great locality to enjoy Kobe.”

The hotel was situated on a beautiful, one-way street walkable to the Sannomiya station and the harbour.

The hotel was situated on a beautiful, one-way street walkable to the Sannomiya station and the harbour. Check-in was relatively easy with a ticket/qr code from the counter and then the kiosk for the key cards - the same kiosk was used for returning the key cards and check out. The on-site Italian restaurant was popular among the locals but offered a 10% off discount for those staying at the hotel: service and food was great for the lunch buffet we had. The room we had for our family of 4 with small children was located on the top floor (16F): it was spacious, housing two large beds, a living space with a big writing desk and coffee table (for those eat-in meals) and had a mini fridge (with freezer) and microwave oven. The bathroom was equally spacious, with a well-appointed bathtub and two wash basins; toilet was separate at the entrance and also had its own wash basin. Lighting and its control was well designed and the curtain could block out lights fully. We used the coin-operated laundry located on the 10F - it was a washer and dryer combined; we did need additional drying for our large load of laundry but find it easy to not needing to time getting washed clothes out into a separate dryer. The "lobby" next to the reception was relaxing as we checked out and explored the city once more until after lunch time. The surroundings of the hotel was relaxing, safe and quiet: this is very different to what we anticipated, understanding the central location of this hotel previously. We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel over any near the harbour or other touristy points as the surroundings of this hotel was so tranquil it felt surreal to be able to reach the walking shopping areas so easily.

“Small room but location is near to shopping area”

Walking distance of around 5 minutes to Sanomiya station. Had to wait for a while to check in. Hotel is near to shopping area. Room is considered small but bathroom is relatively big. Bed is comfortable. Can get free amenities from the hotel lobby.

“Our Kobe go-to”

Our favorite hotel in the Kobe area! The location is incredibly convenient, making it easy to explore the city. We love the thoughtful amenities, including comfortable loungewear, Kobayashi fabric spray, and a variety of extra essentials available in the lobby. Plus, the pricing is very reasonable.… Plus

Like most Japanese hotels, the rooms are on the smaller side, but the overall experience more than makes up for it!
