Stayed todayThe housekeeper came in without permission even though I hadn't checked out yet. Since she was Chinese, I couldn't really communicate with her.I felt very scared.I told the front desk on the way home, but they didn't seem to be apologetic, so I felt like it was a daily occurrence.Never use again

A hotel right next to Nankinmachi and close to Harborland.Visited on a very hot summer day. The hoteliers were very friendly.The room was very clean, but the air conditioning was annoying. It ran without blowing cold air and I had to surf the web to solve the problem. The problem was that the air conditioner did not work well with the remote control. You have to do a lot of manipulation until cold air comes out.

Pros:Location is central to a lot of things to do in Kobe, staff was friendly and helpful, AC cooled great, easy check in/check out, good amenities availableCons:The room was filthy. Stains on the carpet, extremely dusty, bathroom vent was filled with dust, tub had mold. You can see mold in the AC vent as you wait for the elevator.Overall, while it is convenient and a good price, would not recommend for because of the quality of cleanliness.

It is an annex attached to the Motomachi Station shopping street. It's close to the subway station and has a covered shopping area, so it's great for walking around nearby (especially when it's raining). Inside, there are no special facilities, just a room and a restaurant.Breakfast is not a buffet, but is requested in advance... Enjoy a delicious breakfast nearby.

Location is good.The staff are friendly.The facility is clean.The room is clean.Everything is good, but the double room (15m^2) is small.It's a bit inconvenient for two people to use.The bed was a semi-double size.Just unfold one 20-inch carry-on suitcase and you’re done..There was no separate storage space.Better than other accommodations of the same size of 15 square metersNarrow feeling... I think it's okay to use alone...If two people are going, book a larger room than a double room.I was satisfied with the price.

I used it on a family trip. The location is great, right in the middle of Motomachi. The facilities were new, clean and comfortable. I was hoping for a better view from the corner twin room, but since it's in the center of a busy area, it's not that good. However, the location near Meriken Park and Nanjing Street is perfect for tourists. The front desk staff was friendly and the hotel had a high level of satisfaction.Breakfast was included, but it was a Western set menu rather than a buffet. Since it was a busy area, I thought it might have been better to eat my favorite food outside.Also, it's close to the station so it can't be helped, but the parking lot is a few minutes walk away. The atmosphere in the affiliated parking lot was not good.
