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.

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!

Great facility and vicinity

I'd probably come back to this hotel in the future if I decide to stay in Kobe City. My room offered spacious conditions with nice couch and separated bathtub from toilet because I really dislike Unit Bath in general. Cleaned bath tub in Japanese fashion, and the shower head is so up to date style that I personally enjoyed taking. This facility also offers lounge refreshments at 3rd floor and coin laundry at top floor (make sure you have 4-5 100 yen coins that do both washing and drying in single machine; no need of bringing personal washing detergents). Overall, I was super satisfied during my stay.

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".
