The hotel itself is near perfect. Breakfast at the rooftop restaurant is a great way to start a surely jetlaged business day! I liked the gym and fitness facilities too, but a bit pricey for that. I asked and got a special deal on AM rates (Free before noon). And they open early (7am) for Japan! Only negative - the... More

It was a pleasure to stay at the Portopia Hotel in Kobe. Staff was very friendly, food was great. the rooms are very nice and very very very clean and the beds are realy comfortable. I also went to the spa, swimming pool and fitness centre. It was very nic, but rather expensive... The hotel was located in a real... More

Stayed one night at this hotel for a business trip, and as Japanese hotels go, the rooms are huge. The room was clean, good view etc faultless. Staff were excellent, good English. The biggest shock was the price, very low for what you get. Would recommend to anyone. If the hotel asked me, I don't think I could make any... More

This is a large and proper four-star quality property, and while not in the center of town, the hotel is about 10 minutes ride from Kobe airport on the monorail. Free wifi in all rooms. Nice lobby cafe and restaurants suitable for business meetings. I was not pleased however to learn that the spa/sauna is not open until late, so... More

The hotel is OK, but a bit far away. If you stay there, do not miss view from top floor bar/restaurant. As for staying here - fine for conference or wedding, not good if you wish to enjoy dinner in town.

This is the fourth time I've been to Japan for a medical conference and this is the largest hotel I've stayed in. The rooms and bathrooms are normal-sized by western standards but fairly large for a Japanese Hotel, just for that it gets a "very good" rating for me. The hotel is not very new, it has the smell and... More

This is a very good hotel if your business is on the Port Island! The hotel is clean and the amenities in the room are good. Service is very friendly and the people at reception speak good English. Internet is working well and is included to the room price. For continental buffet breakfast I recommend to go to the restaurant... More

Good hotel if you are attending a conference, choice of restaurants, coffee shop and bar, although the bar allows smoking, which was disappointing. Room spacious and beds not too hard for Japan. It is quite remote for down town restaurants, a taxi ride away. Breakfast is served on 2nd and 30th floor restaurants but was very busy with long queues... More

On check-in, I insisted on a non-smoking room, and was then reluctantly given a room in the South Wing, rather than a room in the main block where I was originally booked in. It was a very spacious room, there was a sofa and coffee table, desk, separate dressing table with sink and lots of space in between. The room... More
