Pros:

The hotel staff were all helpful and friendly from check in, to bar and cleaning staff. Rooms were very clean with comfortable bed and everything you need provided including razors,toothbrushes and even phone chargers.The only negative was the spa which was not upto the standard of the rest of the hotel it was not very clean , needed some updating and should have been included in the price. Views from all the rooms are fantastic from any direction a real plus point of the hotel. Very accessible for shopping and restaurants would definitely stay again .

Pros:

The hotel’s location is perfect for a vacation, offering some of the best views in Kobe. Nearby, there is the Umie shopping mall, which, though not very large, has a comprehensive range of products. After some shopping and dinner, we took a leisurely stroll along the coast to Meriken Park.
We had booked a run of the house and were assigned a moderate Double West View at check-in. The room was quite new and very clean—we did not encounter any of the cleanliness issues mentioned in some reviews. The room also featured a balcony, making it delightful to enjoy a drink while taking in the sea view. The soundproofing of the room door was exceptionally well done, with almost no noise when opening or closing it. The room was well-equipped, and additional drinking water could be requested from the front desk if needed.
The lobby was luxuriously decorated with plenty of sofas for relaxation. Near the entrance, there was a convenience store selling limited-edition merchandise themed around Kobe Port. It stayed open quite late, making it convenient to purchase souvenirs. The breakfast offered was abundant and even included substantial options like Wagyu beef burgers, all enjoyed with an expansive sea view. Although the dining area was crowded during the holidays, the staff managed the flow efficiently with a number-calling system, ensuring orderly service.

Decent Stay w/ experience of on cruise atmosphere
Pros:

I had wonderful suite room at corner with amazing city view of Kobe! If you come from Sannomiya Train station, there is free shuttle bus service that this hotel offers with another stop by different luxurious hotel establishment. Morning buffet offered so many varieties that surprised me, especially grilled burgers and multiethnic cuisines. Modernized room with cleaned toiletries. Before checking in, i also loved checked luggage room system that this premise offers. The lounge access was also plus, with wide options of drinks and luxurious offerings.

Pros:

The hotel is nice and the breakfast is particularly good in variety and tasty. Ity located near the water, but no much pathway to walk around to enjoy the ocean and view. E
We basically had to take taxi in and out for several times a day to go out for food and activities.

One of our favorite Western hotels in Japan! The hotel room is spacious and every room has a view. It's located away from town so very quiet! It offers a free shuttle rides to the nearest train/subway station so a plus!
