Experience of the stay
My first time in Kobe Sannomiya. I had no sense of direction around the station and preferred a hotel close to it! I chose this hotel to participate in a concert at the newly built G-Lion Arena. By the way, it took me about 15 minutes on foot from the hotel to G-Lion Arena. It was better to walk than to return to the station and take the bus.
As for the location, you can walk from Sannomiya Station. There are underground passages and arcades, so it didn't feel like walking in the scorching sun even in summer. They also stored my luggage, and I took the bus back to Shin-Kobe Station. There was a bus stop just a 2-minute walk from the hotel, and it took about 10 minutes to get there by bus!
The front desk is on the second floor, and the elevator only stops there. You could check in and out either through a machine or with a person. My first impression of the hotel was, "Wait, is this room bigger than expected?" It was spacious indeed. I thought, "Isn't this a business hotel with two places to sit?"
I forgot to take a picture of the amenities, but they had a pouch type of Seikisho, which was nice. The water quality was also solid, and the bathroom and toilet are separate! There was also a wash area in the bath, which was good! The shampoo was by Stephen Knoll, and I had brought my own shampoo, but I ended up using theirs. My hair turned out smooth.
Pajamas were also in a drawer, so I didn't need to bring my own.
There were power outlets at the bedside, and it seemed like a type A USB could be connected as well. They had room service in the room, but it seemed to be from the restaurant across from the front desk on the second floor. I wanted to use it!
If I have the chance to stay in Kobe again, I would like to use this hotel.
Experiences during the trip
I went to a concert at G-Lion Arena and the hotel's location was just perfect. The G-Lion Arena was also square? and the distance to the artists was very close. Sannomiya Station is connected underground, making it great for shading.
