Be aware of service fee at bar on 14th floor

Rooms were very small and beds were too hard. Hard to sleep. Hotel is beautiful and food at buffet was excellent. Service charge at bar on top floor was too much $$$ and we didn't know about it as it is in very small print and we should have been told we would be charged that extra fee per person. Staff is excellent and friendly.

Had a great night in Kobe at this hotel, perfect location to explore Meriken park at night and there was a shuttle bus to and from the central stations. The hotel is massive. Really comfy beds. Friendly staff, there’s a family mart in the hotel which was mega handy and on site Restarant options.

- relatively big rooms for Japan, enough space for luggage - balcony has great view of the port area - friendly and helpful staff - shuttle bus to Sannomiya station every 20 minutes, might be full at checkout times - nice lobby - reasonably priced dinner buffet - small Family Mart inside the hotel, Starbucks right outside - renovation would be appropriate - shower in the bathtub - travellator goes up to the lobby on the 3rd floor, but not down, have to use stairs or the hidden elevator to the parking garage - on the weekend youngsters will bring their tuned cars and motorbikes to the area in front of the hotel, so it can get a bit loud (but never unsafe)

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This was by far the worst hotel experience I had in Japan. The staff were notably unhelpful, and the hotel is definitely not infant-friendly. Early check-in is not allowed—even just 30 minutes before the standard time—even when rooms are clearly available. The front desk also made no effort to explain the facilities or amenities; I only found out about the direct shuttle to Sannomiya Station through another tourist staying elsewhere. There’s no luggage delivery service, so if you're planning a stay here, pack light. Infant cots come with an additional nightly charge, and there’s no microwave in the room (even with suites). The freezer didn’t work either, which is a major inconvenience if you need to store breastmilk or ice packs. Cleanliness was disappointing too—there were stains in both the bathtub and on the bed sheets. The only upside was the excellent soundproofing. Even though the hotel is located right at the harbor, you won’t hear the ferries. That said, if you book a west-facing room, don’t expect a great view—ferries may be docked there, blocking it.
