Having not visited Kobe before I assumed that Kobe station would be the place to stay to access the sights, I now know that I should have stayed near Sannomiya station for this. The area around Kobe station is much quieter but has very easy access to Harbour Land, the station is easy to get to and the hotel only 1 street from the station. The hotel itself is quite dated but still functional, the staff were pleasant and capable. The philosophy when building the rooms seems to have been to maximise the capacity, the floor plan looks like someone trying to ram in as many rooms as they can at the expense of the individual rooms. When in the room the bed is slightly too small to be comfortable, the desk slightly too large to get past and the floor space slightly lacking to open your bags. The bathroom is quite old and has a large step up to enter making a bit of a hazard if you forget/are half asleep and in the dark. The shower has two taps rather than a combined one so getting water that does not burn/freeze can be frustrating and the temperature fluctuates when in use. The price was reasonable but I doubt I would book again under similar circumstances.

Very nice reception. Small and smoky room, slightly outdated but clean and kept well. Good pillows and there is a fridge and bath amenities.

Only stayed overnight. The hotel's water system broke down in the morning. We weren't able to use the shower and drink tap water. To compensate, hotel staff gave ¥1000 discount coupon which can be used in accredited local Kobe City stores. The hotel doesn't have romaji or English sign so it is difficult to find at night by foreign tourists visiting Kobe for the first time.

Nice peaceful area and very nearby train station. All kinds of amenities are easily accessible. Room is kind of small.

It's a bit like a budget hotel in Kobe. The single room have everything but really small. And the other are very good, if come here again and I'll choose it definitely. 🤗👍

A beautiful hotel cosy and affordable. The staff just need to learn English for communication purposes.

It's a nice little room.........Stinky like Cigarettes Haha

Nice and cozy. Near to stations with affordable price..

very good. I felt happy.
