We had a sea view and it was amazing! However, compared to the other hotels that we stayed in-Asakusa and Kyoto-this hotel is the oldest- I not updated, the beds were like a brick and the hotel food was less than par and very overpriced. Would not stay there again.

The Kobe seems a bit of a hotel from another era, the economic bubble of the 1980s. It's huge and a little down-at-the-heels grand. Comfortable. Great breakfast. The biggest downside to this hotel is its location. It is separated from the main part of Kobe by two freeways and crossing, while not difficult, feels bleak. It's about a 10 minute walk from the Motomachi neighborhood, further to Sanomiya. There is a shuttle, but that's kind of a pain. If I had it to do again, I would stay someplace in Sanomiya even if the hotel itself was a little less nice. That said, the room was large, the staff were helpful, and, as I said, the breakfast was great. And we sure got our exercise walking back and forth to Motomachi station area where there are many restaurants and shops. So it's fine. I just value convenience over the rest.

Fabulous setting especially as the Xmas light show was around the hotel. Great room with amazing views. Only issue was that you had to pay to use the gym and spa facilities every time you wanted to use it and it wasn’t cheap. This wasn’t mentioned anywhere until we tried to use them.

This hotel is well past its best and really needs some considerable investment in the rooms in order to remain relevant. Least comfortable bed in the last four or five hotels we’ve used and bed linen old and scratchy. Room decor is dated probably to around the early 80’s at a guess. Staff were amazing. View from our upgraded sea-view room was amazing. Breakfast was great. Shame the tv was dated and no English speaking channels which just isn’t good enough these days.
