    Exceptionally nice place to stay

    • Mid Century Queen Room - Main Building - Non-Smoking
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The bed was rather hard and the pillows too soft.

    The room was much larger than an average Japanese queen room at 29m2

    The location was a bit further away but there is a train station closeby and a free shuttle bus to two train stations in the center which was very convenient!

    Everything was amazing. Very comfortable room, very clean, very nice view, lots of amanities, luxurious interior of the hotel.

    Not many eating and shopping opportunities in the area around the hotel. Hotel felt quite empty with many of the restaurants inside the hotel closed. Felt a bit like a ghost town.

    Location easy to reach from city center and airport. Good for a stay before an early flight. A well stocked Lawson convenience store in the hotel.

    The main building is all new, and everything was perfect — even the small details, like a laundry string to dry swimsuits after using the pool. Everything was well-structured and clean. We had a wonderful stay in the middle of our Japan trip, thanks to this little gem of a hotel in Kobe

    Older hotel, so not as flashy. Every extra thing costs too much, dinner wasn't amazing at Soco, but breakfast was good. Way more expensive for what you get though. Air conditioning was quite weak during our stay at level 15.

    Shuttle to the stations was quite convenient. You're able to take your luggage in and take the Shinkansen from Shin Kobe when you're leaving, or vice versa. Or just hop on to the city and back. Portliner monorail is also an option outside the shuttle hours. Uber into town is not too expensive either. It is a proper hotel but older, and it shows in the decor which is not necessarily bad as it is maintained. Cleaners wait til you leave for the day to clean the room.

    1. Swimming pool requires additional fees although I can understand the rationale, but it’s a little disappointing. 2. Bathroom is cleaned but seems a little old

    1. Less than 30 mins from the Kobe main city and the train station is connected to the hotel. 2. Courteous and professional staff 3. 24 hours Family Mart is within the building 4. Free shuttle bus to Kobe town

    Not much dislike, even though the telephone and washroom countertop looks like with a little years, however, we are not the fancy guy, we like clean and tidy, so this is not really a thing for me.

    The shuttle bus is convenient, and the check-in process is fast, room is clean and with enough space, a sofa that can be as a bed for one more family or friends. The fragrance of shampoo is good. The location is closed to the Animal Kingdom (Zoo), and this is the major point when we looking for the hotel around Kobe. We asked for help for a pair of chopsticks, and it be send to the room right away, good service. I would consider this hotel for next visit in Kobe city.

    None.

    The hotel has a complimentary bus shuttle which is greatly appreciated, given its distance from the city center. The rooms are spacious, very clean, lobby very lively, check ins smooth, staffs were polite and very helpful. Stayed a total of 5 nights in 3 different rooms for this trip. We will definitely stay here again for our next trip!
