“Well located hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2013 via mobile

Stayed for 5 nights prior to cruise. Hotel was good value for money and close to trains etc. I took the express bus from Osaka airport to the JR station. I also used it as a base to travel to Kyoto, Nara etc and was able to quickly access the subway and get to Shin Kobe for the bullet trains.

“Buzz in Sannomiya”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2013

The b hotel is only a short walk from the railway and bus station, and right in the buzzing centre of Kobe. Good rooms, efficient management, internet in rooms (but wifi only in the lobby) and an excellent breakfast. Just behind the hotel is a wonderful Buddhist temple -- in stark contrast to the agitation of the streets. This is... More

This is a great choice for central Kobe. The b chain is a bit like the Ibis in Europe except much cleaner, more stylish and well-located. We got freshly-laundered pjamas on our pillow, a well-stocked bathroom and a very comfortable bed. If you're looking for somewhere cheap and cheerful to stay in Kobe you probably can't do any better than... More
