We saw many photos online ,who h showed the hotel in very old style .But when we arrived ,the hotel was not that bad. The lobby was very big and new. And the room got new decoration too !!! The bed and TV set ,lightings etc. We like it very much. At a very reasonable price.
The toilet was clean and comfortable, the bed and room was a bit small ,but it happens in everywhere in Japan .
The location was perfect to us. We have been to Kobe three time , we found that 5his hotel was very good location. It's away from the crowded and shopping mall . but not too far away . Just 5-6 mins and you will see the department store . About 10mins to the train terminal and bus terminal. You can go anywhere near Kobe ,such as Arima hot spring.
Eating is also not a problem, lots of local restaurants nearby ,and very local price.
I would definitely stay in this hotel next time when we visit Kobe again.
