hotel staff advise that they do not offer spa/public bath, not as per Wotif description; what a disappointment after get there at 32 degree Celsius. Indoor swimming pool is also under maintenance and outdoor pool requires 3300yen for each person. Guess I am not lucky? Staff is helpful tho and price is quite affordable; Not much going around the hotel, not a busy area.

This hotel was a huge disappointment for my family and I, although it looks modern, the rooms are old and the bathrooms are moldy, the hotel is located in an area that has a lot of manufacturers therefore there is a lot of contamination, the service was terrible and staff was rude, while I was there I noticed that there were not many American tourists, mostly Asian tourists, although the hotel claims they have plenty of restaurants they are are not for foreigners, only for Asians, but that is something I noticed in other cities in Japan as well, Japanese people are not very welcoming to tourists.

Perfect Portopia Kobe
We loved the Portopia Hotel. It felt very resort- like, with great amenities. We actually chose it because of the outdoor pool, and even though we had to pay an additional fee to use the pool, it was worth it, as it was never crowded and was super clean and well staffed. We actually felt a fee kept numbers down which was good. We also loved the breakfast buffet - the best of our whole trip. And the view - 30th floor buffet, just beautiful. The staff were really friendly and helpful, from front desk to housekeeping. We particularly loved the housekeeping team who greeted us every day! And location, while away from down town, the free and regular shuttle was fantastic, quick and regular. We highly recommend this hotel and if we are in Kobe again will definitely stay here again. Thanks Portopia!

Our stay at portopia hotel was great, however we booked the hotel because it advertised that they have a gym, pool and laundry. Once we arrived, we were told all the amenities are an extra charge per day. Laundry was by item so if we were to do our laundry it would cost 100s of dollars. The restaurants in the hotel look really great, but are expensive and open late, close during the middle of the day, and close early at night. There are not really any other restaurants in the area.
