    great location
    delicious breakfast
    spacious room
    firm beds

    The location is fantastic for exploring Kobe, with great attractions like Kidzania Koshien Theme Park nearby. The buffet breakfast was delicious, and my daughter loved the spacious, beautifully decorated room. The free shuttle made city excursions a breeze!

    For dads, it would be great if the beds were softer.

    excellent access to parks and major attractions nearby

    I loved how easy it was to stroll to meriken park just under 3 km away and the inviting atmosphere of the ucc coffee museum which is only about a 10-minute walk from the hotel, making my weekend explorations so enjoyable. the spacious room in the main building added to the pleasant experience as a single traveler seeking comfort and convenience.

    comfortable bed
    great breakfast
    aging decor
    high facility charges
    desolate evenings

    The spacious room featured comfortable beds, numerous USB chargers, and a humidifier, providing a pleasant stay. A highlight was the breakfast buffet on the 30th floor, which offered spectacular views alongside a delicious variety of foods. However, the hotel's aging decor felt inconsistent, and charging for the pool facilities seemed outdated. Additionally, the location, while convenient for transport, lacked nearby amenities, making evenings feel somewhat desolate.

    The elegant decor and spacious lobby made me feel welcomed, while the accessibility features were perfect for easy navigation. Each day started beautifully with breathtaking views over the port that made mornings feel special.

    Faster Wi-Fi for better connectivity would be helpful.

    Spacious Rooms with Charming Decor

    I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was spacious and had a charming old-school decor that added character. The beds were very comfortable, and the staff was welcoming and spoke English well. However, some of the facilities could use a little modernization to align with today's standards.

    great breakfast
    friendly staff
    comfortable room
    isolated location
    additional fees

    I enjoyed the spaciousness of my room, a rarity in Japan. The views of Kobe from the 30th floor breakfast buffet were breathtaking. Breakfast offered a wide selection of both Japanese and Western dishes, all delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome throughout my stay. The free shuttle to Sannomiya station was a big plus, making it easy to explore the city. However, the hotel's location felt isolated. There weren't many restaurants nearby, so dining options were limited. I found it frustrating that both the swimming pool and gym had additional fees for use, especially since I'm used to those amenities being included in my stay. The decor in some parts of the hotel felt outdated, which detracted from the overall experience. Overall, the hotel has great potential, but some aspects definitely need an upgrade.

    great location but a bit outdated

    The view from the higher floors is impressive, especially at sunset. The buffet breakfast offered a variety of delicious options that catered well to my family's tastes. The cleanliness of the bathroom, including adequate amenities, exceeded my expectations.

    Some areas of the hotel feel a bit outdated.

    We had an amazing time with friends, enjoying the nearby attractions like Rokkosan Ski Area and the Port of Kobe. The outside pool and gym were great for relaxing after a day of fun. Don't miss the complimentary shuttle for easy access around the area.

    Great location and views!

    The room was a bit dated, but the top-floor breakfast had killer views and tons of options. The shuttle to downtown was super handy, although it gets crowded. We got a larger room which was nice, but the bed was harder than I expected. Overall, a decent stay!
