Had a great time here! Easily accessible with 5 minutes walk from Sannomiya station and the hotel provided great service! Even allowed us to leave our luggage while we stroll around Kobe!
The hotel is well renovated. The condition of the bedroom and bathroom is clean, modern, easy check-in / check-out. It doesn't take long. Location is not far from Sannomiya Station, about 400 meters. There is Family Mart across the street.
I spent about three days at Kobe portopia hotel.... close to shiminhiroba Station (Kobe) approximately 100 metres and roughly 100 metres to exhibition hall...
Then, there is a shuttle bus from hotel (free) to sannomiya Kobe station... and you can take a bus near Sogo (in front of sannomiya Kobe Station) which is direct to Kansai Airport....
There are a lot of fancy restaurants inside hotel area...
I took “dine” at Shushiman and Gococu...
