The hotel had spotlessly clean, spacious rooms that were so quiet, with a bright atmosphere and a large window. The service was extremely friendly, polite, and helpful, from the front staff to the restaurant team. The location was a bit close to the main commercial center and offered direct access to the seaside park and Chinatown. The dining experience was delightful, with plentiful and delicious options.

My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The rooms were way bigger than any Japanese room I've stayed in before, which was a real bonus. Although the extra bed could have been more comfortable, the mountain view from Kobe Tower was stunning. The hotel's location at the waterfront of Kobe Port was a major highlight, offering direct access to the seaside park and being within walking distance to Chinatown and Motomachi shopping street.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious, clean, and featured a large double bed that provided a restful sleep. The views of Kobe Tower from the room were stunning, offering a nice city or harbor panorama. However, the dining options, particularly the Japanese Set, were not as elaborate or satisfying as expected. The location, right at Meriken Park, was convenient for exploring Kobe, but the value for money regarding dining was a downside.

The hotel had very spacious rooms with 2 double beds, the largest we have seen in our 3 weeks traveling around Japan. While the furniture appeared tired and in desperate need of refurbishment at night, the service was incredibly helpful, especially during the G20 event, with very friendly and polite staff. The location was perfect for walking to many attractions and offered a great view of Kobe Harbour, even though the in-house restaurants were a bit pricey. The dining experience, with Japanese sets and a good variety, was solid with a minor issue of unable to cook bacon. Overall, a comfortable stay with excellent transportation options and a bit on the expensive side.

My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The rooms were spotlessly clean, spacious, and incredibly quiet, providing a nice and comfortable atmosphere with all the right amenities. I could enjoy a stunning view overlooking the park, the Kobe Tower, and the sea from my room, all while resting on the comfortable beds. The hotel's location is convenient, near the harbor park, Mosaic, UMIC shopping centers, and Kobe Tower. While the dining experience was excellent with a variety of Japanese and European options, the moved Camelia Restaurant to the 34th floor lacked food variety. The service was top-notch, with the reception staff being helpful in guiding me to various attractions, like Kobe beef restaurants, local pubs, jazz clubs, and onsens. Overall, a great option for a 1 to 2-night stay.
