They do have internet, but it's close to dial up speed unless you are in the lobby. They have a pool, but it cost $23 an hour to use. They also have gym, business center, etc, but they all cost something to use. The staff was wonderful, though they only have 2-3 fluent English speakers. BUT for the priced paid (not considering the amenities costs) it was close to what we would generally consider a high end hotel in the US.
i will never go back , this is the second time i checked in with very bad service at the reception including check out.
Check in process is horrible it took me 2 hours to get rooms sorted out for our delegation attending ASEAN Port conference hosted by Kobe Ports in said hotel. After paying for several rooms I requested to amend our check out date for paid rooms due to change of schedule but the front desk personnel refused despite earlier approval as confirmed by the orbitz representative who was very helpful. I decided to just leave the hotel and promise them i will NEVER GO BACK TO THAT HOTEL! I have experienced in other five star hotel like Hyatt in NY wherein they gladly accomdated our request.
