TTuxiandarenThe hotel management is excellent, and the service is superb. Special shoutout to the concierge team! They handled luggage storage, weighing, and guided us with the airport shuttle baggage recording flawlessly. ❤️❤️
The Kansai Airport shuttle offers direct service (though infrequent). Alternatively, you can take a bus to Sannomiya, which is just one subway stop or a 1600 JPY taxi ride from the hotel.
The hotel lobby is on the fourth floor. Take the escalator down on the north side, and you'll be on the second floor of JR Shin-Kobe Station. The first floor hosts express bus stations for Arima Onsen, Mount Rokko, and Tokushima, as well as the city sightseeing buses (the 230-yen elongated bus and the 300-yen retro trolley) which go directly to Kobe Port Tower, IOIO, and vintage trend stores.
On the west side, the elevator on the first floor leads to Nunobiki Herb Gardens and Kitano Ijinkan. B3 has a large supermarket, a 100-yen shop, and the Shin-Kobe subway station.
Even though the hotel shows its age, it's well-maintained. I stayed on the 23rd floor this time, and the room was spacious. 😓 During Typhoon Rosing (6.2), the hotel creaked all night, which was a bit scary. 😂 Breakfast on the fourth floor is a rich buffet with many Kobe-exclusive delicacies, and it's absolutely delicious. You can also opt for a Japanese set meal on the fifth floor.
