The amenities in the room are dated especially the bathroom. However, the location is very convenient as it’s very closed to Shin-Kobe station. If you’re traveling to Arima area by bus or to other cities with Shinkansen, it’s a pretty decent hub.

Breakfast was great as well as the general menu. Lobby was excellent. Staff friendly and welcoming. The location fantastic for the connection to transit and the tram. Didn’t like having to pay for the pool and sauna though as I thought they should be free, just like the gym. Still overall a great place to spend a few days.

I booked a none smoking room so was surprised to be booked into one that smelt strongly of cigarette smoke. The staff did book us efficiently into another room at no extra cost. The breakfast is outstanding and the area very convenient. 15 walk to Sannomiya and next door to the train station.
