Staying at this hotel was a good experience overall. The rooms were spacious with a separate bathroom and toilet, even featuring a small balcony for added charm. While the decor seemed a bit worn-out, the queen bed provided comfort for all three of us. The service was welcoming and helpful, although communication in English could be challenging at times. The location was excellent, conveniently situated between Sannomiya and Shin-Kobe stations, making it easy to explore the city. The dining options were a highlight, especially the buffet breakfast, although the cost per person was a bit steep. The hotel's facilities offered everything needed for a comfortable stay, earning a solid rating.

The dining options were varied, with some tasty choices, but not necessarily the best in Japan. The facilities were top-notch, enhancing my experience.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms, though relatively spacious by Japanese standards and with a great view of Kobe, lacked soundproofing and were quite small. The service was top-notch, with staff being extremely helpful and polite, although they had some difficulty speaking English. The location was practical for exploring Kobe without breaking the bank, being within walking distance of the Shinkansen station and downtown. The dining options, while good and reasonably priced, fell short of the advertised 'best in Japan'.
