This hotel is a bit dated. The aircon control, radio, and light controls are fixed to your bedside table. TV channels are quite limited. But I feel the bed is comfortable enough, and housekeeping also does a good job. The breakfast buffet is alright, but the variety was still the same two days later. The location is not too bad. You can hike at the back of the hotel, and there is also a ropeway up to the herb garden. It is also quite near Kobe Kitano Ijinkan Gai. If you don't mind walking, Sannomiya station, where lots of eateries are, is about a 20-minute walk. Overall, not too bad.

Friendly staff, strategic location, easy access

There are not enough wall outlets for us to use, only 2 that are available! There is a coffee machine and kettle, but no place to plug them in; we have to move them to use them. Very inconvenient.

Room is spacious for Japan standard. Literally above the Shin-Kobe station
