What an amazing hotel! The reception (on the 17th floor) was beautiful and the staff were extremely kind and welcoming. Our room was amazing! The largest room we’ve ever had whilst staying in Japan. The bed was huuuge and the room felt new and very clean. It was our anniversary and when we arrived at the hotel we were wished a happy anniversary and there was a surprise gift waiting in our room. It’s the little things, but this hotel really exceeded our expectations. The location was very ideal...

This hotel was honestly exceptional from the moment we arrived (which started with a drink and lovely welcome gift). Staff were incredible and consistently went above and beyond. The hotel is quite new and this showed - the rooms were modern with incredibly comfortable beds. The location is fantastic - a very easy walk to the harbour area and great subway access to shin-kobe and Sanomiya stations.

Excellent hotel just a few minutes walk from the main train station. Our stay here was our holiday treat for our Japan tour and the bathroom alone was bigger than some of the hotel rooms we had previously stayed in. Comfortable room with Nespresso machine instead of the normal instant coffee. Staff very helpful and a wide range of dishes for breakfast. Just note that went entering the hotel you have take the lift to the lobby which is on the 20th floor.
