remm plus Kobe Sannomiya

The room was large compared to Tokyo & Kyoto (10/10). No out dated feel at all to the room or the lobby (10/10). The price was reasonable. They gave us a corner room which had an incredible view (10/10). What I care about the most when choosing a hotel is the cleanliness and it was clean (8-9/10). It was also located at a very convenient location (10/10) - right next (minutes by walk) to the subway/train station, limousine bus stop to KIX, taxi, etc. Took a ferry from KIX and then a cab to the hotel and that was fun. Was 25mins walking distance from from the Takenaka carpentry museum - which according to my woodwork-loving teenage son was the highlight of Japan trip (we went to Kobe just for that). Took a cab from there to Arima onsen and it was about $65. I was worried that the hotel being situated right above a subway station, that we might feel the shakes but we didn't at all. Bathroom didn't require a shower curtain (making it practically a walk in shower (10/10). The breakfast buffet was OK (7-8/10) and the view from the breakfast buffet was amazing also (10/10). The staff was efficient - (7-8/10).

It’s located conveniently in the centre of the Sannomiya Station, close to everything! The staff were extraordinarily helpful with check in and out as well as luggage deposit. The room is in a reasonable size with a massage chair, bed is not too small and is quite comfortable, and the bathroom features a smart toilet which is pretty cool. The hotel also provides slipper in the room, while toothbrushes and tea bags are available for pickup at the reception.

Location was perfect, just upstairs of the main station. So it was too easy to go anywhere within the city or the other cities in Japan. Also just in a walking distance from the shopping area and the good restaurants. Staff was too kind and helpful. Rooms were really neat, tidy and clean. And not as small as other Japanese hotels. They even have massage chairs within the room which was quite fantastic thinking that you’ll have long walks in Japan.

the stay at the hotel was very comfortable. From the room on the 20th floor we had a beautiful view of the hills. The room was well set up and equipped. There was even a massage chair ;). Breakfasts in the room with a view of the port or the mountains were also very nice. The hotel is practically next to the train station, so everything was close. The stay in Kobe was the most relaxing during our trip to Japan.

The bathtub is deep, and can be filled up to the very top when soaking if desired, because the whole shower room is sealable with a drain for the shower portion. So the tub doesn't have a side drain that would let the water not fill past a certain point.There was also little pouches of bath powder to make the bath scented. Beds were comfy, I liked the memory foam pillow. The view from the higher floors is amazing.
