The hotel had clean rooms, but they felt old and tired, getting messy quickly. The location was great for experiencing downtown Kobe and exploring the main shopping areas and waterfront. The breakfast was comfortable but not extensive, and the dining options were value for money with internet bookings. However, the facilities were really poor.

I found the hotel to be a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, while clean, felt a bit old and tired, similar to those at Via Mare. On the bright side, the rooms were well equipped, though on the smaller side. The service was decent, offering amenities like dry cleaning, housekeeping, and laundry. The location proved to be a good starting point to explore downtown Kobe and visit popular areas like Nankinmachi, Motomachi, and Sannomiya. However, it was not right in the heart of the main shopping district or waterfront of Kobe. The dining experience had a decent variety but fell short compared to other hotels in Japan. On the downside, the quality was lacking with a particularly poor selection. Overall, the facilities provided were satisfactory without exceeding expectations.

The hotel is situated in a high fashion area, not far from the main shopping district and waterfront, offering a good value for your money. The rooms were clean but had a lingering smell of cigarettes, feeling somewhat old and tired. The service provided, including dry cleaning and housekeeping, was satisfactory.
