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...
+ Big room space compare to the same level of hotel in Japan or the price that I had to pay for. + Very new building and silent. This hotel is located at the office building area so after office hour it will be very silent. + 7-11 just 1 min walking - A bit for from Sannomiya station takes around 7-8 mins walking.
Lovely place, lovely view, close to the Kobe tower and Meriken park. The hotel offers free shuttle to 2 central locations in Kobe, check the schedule with them for transport to and from the hotel. Nice room, lots of comfort, quality linen and toiletries.
Strategic location, comfortable, clean, friendly, good breakfast. The bathroom is very good, especially water pressure and bath equipments and also water drain system. But need to improve on make-up room. Thank you for your hospitality.
