It's a functional stay if you have a conference nearby, as my partner did. The property is very spacious but has its years. The room is huge and adequately equipped. The breakfast buffet has a variety and offers a great view of Kobe. The only two thing we did not totally love, is the distance from town, although the shuttle service is great; and also the noisy kids running around breakfast. Otherwise, it's great and convenient.

The hotel rooms are spacious,quiet, with very comfortable beds. The service is outstanding as well. The only draw back is there are limited restaurants on Port Island, but they run a shuttle every 20mins for free to Sannomiya station - so really not an isssue. There is a nice convience store at the hotel for drinks, snacks, prepackaged meals, and toiletries. The shuttle also takes you to Shin-Kobe, which is a huge help. They also have a designated bus stop in front of Shin-Kobe, so take advantage of that for the ride to the hotel. I will definitely stay here again in the future.

We only stayed 1 night to catch early flight from Kobe airport. While we chose the premier room so it’s a little more modern/updated, the hotel does seem a bit outdated.

Great hotel and breakfast in the area.

Couple of policies that shocked me a bit were filling in "again" a form asking for passport number and nationality while our passports were copied and the information were right there. They asked for credit card recording even room charges has been thru' hotels.com and when I questions they didn't explain well for sure in English and there is not even mini-bar in room. Other than that their 30th floor breakast location was stunningly good and varieties were great. Generally, staffs were polite and nice. Shuttle bus arrangements between both busiest Kobe stations were great and convenient thru' out the day. However, not much to explore in the area, except IKEA ... :-)

Quite an old hotel but all other things are good. If you don't drive, it can be a distance to other places although it is directly linked to a subway station. Friendly staff and overall, I'll stay again for the competitive price it is offering..

Book a family room for three nights stay in this hotel. Overall, we are satisfied with this hotel. The room is reasonably spacious and clean. Room service makes up the room everyday. Breakfast is good with variety and can choose to dine at any one of three locations. However, the foods are the same for all three days. The parking location is at another building opposite the hotel. The link bridge between the hotel and the parking has stairs. Not friendly for luggage. There is a convenience store inside the hotel, a plus point.

It was very convenient and clean. They upgraded my room to a twin room (quiet floor), so I had a larger room to relax before my flight. The train station to Kobe airport is located next to the hotel, just a few min away! They seem to have events and buffets, so I would like to come back to stay for a few days here with my family next time.

One of the classiest / nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The facilities are top notch. It is only ten minutes from Sannomiya by the portliner. But once you’re there for the night there isn’t much to do around the area.
