Beautiful property inside and literally in front of the train station. The room was really nice and i loved the TV actually had streaming options that you could chromecast from your phone so that was a plus (most hotels i stayed at only had TV which was limited). There is also a really great shopping street behind the hotel which was really nice. I would def stay here again when i retuen.

It is the perfect location, across from JR train station.. the rooms are very new and the staff although don’t speak English are well equipped to serve foreigners.

This will always be my favorite place to stay in Kobe! It is very close to one of my favorite places (Ring Soul, a pro wrestling bar), it is very close to Motomachi station, not too far from Sannomiya station, and it's close to many places to shop and eat! During my last stay, the shower and bath facility I had was simply wonderful, absolute luxury! The staff are always friendly and helpful. I don't want to stay anywhere else!

It was very close to a lot of attractions and restaurants. China town and Motomachi shopping street are less than 5 minutes away. Check in was quick and checkout is done at a kiosk so no waiting. Room was small but met our needs. The beds are very hard. Took a couple nights to somewhat get used to it. We asked for a second pillow each which they delivered right away. All in all a good place to stay.

I gave a 3 star because the room for standard double really felt like you were in jail. Very nice one, but it felt too dark, no windows, and the layout didn't feel pleasant. Maybe another grade room is better, but this one felt "sad".

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Upon entering the hotel room it was unbearably hot. There were no instructions on how to start the air conditioning or how to even or even how to make a phone call to reception to ask for help. I was finally able to start the air conditioning off the fiddling with an unmarked panel on the wall which was in Japanese but then I figured out how to put it in English eventually. The light above the coat area was impossible to turn off so I had to sleep with it on for the entire night. Other than that it was a quality room with very pleasant and modern interior design. Breakfast was quite simple, they gave me two choices for a western or Japanese breakfast and was approached by friendly happy and pleasant personnel shortly after entering the restaurant
