This is our 2nd time staying here. It is a great location, very close to the main railway lines to go around Kobe and the region. Also just 2 minutes walk from the bus station that can go to many places such as USJ and Kobe-Sanda Premium outlet which takes about 40 minutes each.
The room is fantastic, very spacious for Japanese standard, comes with an office table which can double up as a vanity table. TV has Netflix installed so you can watch when you're in the room.
The amenities provided (2F) is sufficient, especially the bath salt and drip coffee (recently added). There are 4 coin-operated laundry machine, together with the ice maker, microwave and vending machine at 5F.
It is walkable to the Sannomiya area, which has a lot of great local food and bars. Also close to the Kobe Sannomiya Center Gai shopping street with a lot of great shops.
The staff are very friendly, willing to help. Additional stuff that we requested are extra pillows and blanket, ironing board with iron and even helping to call a restaurant for reservation.
Overall, one of the best stays for affordable price.
