8/10 Good
"This is a nice option for a quality stay under budget in the central Namba location. The hotel is equipped with a lot of amenities, including a 7-11 inside. Its problem, ironically, is its success and popularity. Too many people means queues and long wait times for laundry, luggage storage and even the elevators, especially during peak hours."

"Phenomenal views of Kobe Port from the balcony and the night views are absolutely stunning. We took the West view facing the ferris wheel and enjoyed all the light shows in the evening. The hotel is a bit dated but no complaints at all. The free shuttle bus from Sannomiya station is super convenient. There is also a Family Mart within the hotel (closes at 11pm). The location is prime as it's a 3 minute walk to the Kobe Port Tower."
