I had a wonderful visit at the Portopia Hotel. My room had all of the toiletries I needed plus a set of pajamas and slippers. When I ordered room service, the staff came to my room to take my order. I would definitely recommend this hotel as an American visiting Japan. However, it is on Port Island so I had to tax in Kobe.

It's a functional stay if you have a conference nearby, as my partner did. The property is very spacious but has its years. The room is huge and adequately equipped. The breakfast buffet has a variety and offers a great view of Kobe. The only two thing we did not totally love, is the distance from town, although the shuttle service is great; and also the noisy kids running around breakfast. Otherwise, it's great and convenient.

We only stayed 1 night to catch early flight from Kobe airport. While we chose the premier room so it’s a little more modern/updated, the hotel does seem a bit outdated.

Great hotel and breakfast in the area.

Couple of policies that shocked me a bit were filling in "again" a form asking for passport number and nationality while our passports were copied and the information were right there. They asked for credit card recording even room charges has been thru' hotels.com and when I questions they didn't explain well for sure in English and there is not even mini-bar in room. Other than that their 30th floor breakast location was stunningly good and varieties were great. Generally, staffs were polite and nice. Shuttle bus arrangements between both busiest Kobe stations were great and convenient thru' out the day. However, not much to explore in the area, except IKEA ... :-)
