• takesita (5/5): -
• Wataru (10/5): -
• Koji (8/5): 普通 - スタッフが親切 ユニットバスの入り口が少し高く 足が悪い私はストレスでした
• AKIYO (7/5): - 場所も良く移動に便利で良い所でした 連泊でタオルの交換だけを依頼したところ、アメニティも全てこうしてもらえて、気持ちよく利用できました😊 チェックインの時階段が急でスーツケースを運ぶのが大変、帰りはエレベーターがわかり利用できました。へやの冷蔵庫が全然冷えなくて 、その上音が大きくて良くなかった
• 高野瀬 (10/5): -
• 麻未 (8/5): 楽しい旅行ができました。 - スタツアの対応。 街中でとても便利。 いろんな所に殆どが歩いて行けました。 部屋の広さがも少し欲しかった。 ツインでしたが、テーブルを置いてゆっくり座れるスペースが狭かった。

• kazumi (8/5): - トリプルルームがあって良かった。 繁華街に近く便利でした。 駐車場の利用時間の制限があり、早朝に出発に不便。
• JUNKO (8/5): 疲れがスッキリ！ - ツインの部屋で一泊させていただきました！ ベットが広く、荷物を置いても圧迫なく快適でした。 とくにありません。

• Yuko (8/5): -
• ＮＯＲＩＫＯ (10/5): 立地最高 - 近くにモンベル、パタゴニア、アークテリクスのお店がありチェックイン後にショッピングができて最高に楽しい 中華街、三ノ宮、元町に徒歩圏内立地が凄く良かった 全てに於いて最高でした。 また機会があれば利用したいです
• Mika (8/5): - 繁華街にあるので、買い物などに便利 ホテル自体の設備は古め。駐車場もセダン系は駐車できても、SUV系は無理なため、少し離れた提携へ。 積み下ろしには、駐車場前をお借りできて助かった。
• Van Phan (9/5): -
• Phạm (8/5): -
• Kimiyo (10/5): ゆったり旅 - スタッフの方の対応がとても丁寧であったことと，立地が非常によく目的地の全てが徒歩圏内であった。 フロントが2階ということで，重い荷物を持って階段を上り下りする点が少し不便であった。
• MAKI (10/5): - 観光に便利！！ 喫煙ルームはよかったみたいです！！
• Rayan (4/5): ok for 1 day but no more - The hotel location is perfect. The room is rather large and very quiet. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom wasn't very clean. The smell of cigarettes is really everywhere. The light in the room was weird.
• KARIN (8/5): -
• REIKO (8/5): -
• Yoshiko (8/5): -
• Higashikawa (8/5): 満足です！ - タバコが吸えた 宿泊料が安かった 空気清浄機があった 立地がいい。 外出で一旦鍵を閉めると全部の電気がオフになる。 空気清浄機もオフになる。 電子レンジが部屋に欲しかった。 ベッドテーブルにコンセントが欲しかった。スマホの充電が…。

• Alice (6/5): -

• Masanori (6/5): -
• Kauffmann (10/5): 5 out of 5 - It is a really great location. Close to Chinatown and the shopping district. The staff were lovely! Parking was an external location about 400meters away but not a deal breaker.
• TANABE (5/5): - 価格が安く行きたい所に近かった コンセントがいくつか使えなかった。 浴室に髪が落ちていた

• erika (6/5): - 場所がよかった。 部屋がカビ臭かった
• Hayakawa (8/5): とても快適で良かった。 - 立地が良く、施設は少し古いですがそこを従業員の方がカバーしていてとても丁寧で優しかった。 徒歩だとロビーまでが階段の為、 重いスーツケースを運ぶ事が厳しかった。

• Takagi (7/5): ロケーションは最高 - コスパ良い 荷物を持って、受付までの階段は辛かった
• 山田 (6/5): よかったです。 - 目的地に行きやすい場所でした タバコ臭がありそこだけがマイナスポイントです。 後外階段も足が悪いので大変でした。
• Kiyomi (8/5): - 部屋は広く感じました。冷蔵庫にお水が入っているとよかったかなと思います。
• Hariaran (8/5): Very good - The hotel offers a budget-friendly stay in the heart of Kobe. Its central location is within walking distance of major attractions like Chinatown, Meriken Park, and the Kobe City Museum and a train station. The rooms are clean but could benefit from modernization. The hotel staff were friendly. The hotel stands out for its excellent location, cleanliness, and friendly staff and offers a comfortable and affordable base for exploring Kobe.
• RYUICHI (10/5): - 駐車場の提携先があれば、非常に良いと思います。
• Sasha (5/5): Passable -
• ロマ (8/5): Very good -
• Kim (8/5): Great value in a fantastic location - The location is perfect, right in the center of Kobe with all the shopping streets and restaurants The room was a bit smelly, probably because ofthe old carpet.
• yumino (8/5): - アクセスとても良かった。観光の拠点にできる。
• Allen (7/5): Good -
• Marissa (9/5): Superb -
• Dovydas (7/5): Good - Location was good. Lots of convenience shops nearby and fancy clothing stores. Chinatown 5 minute walk. Friendly staff. Free bag storage. Good price. The room was a little dated. Fridge made too much noise when turned on. The place needs a second elevator. Took a while to get up and down in the morning around check out time.
• Sirasit (8/5): Very good -
• RYUICHI (8/5): - ルミナリエに便利です
• Indri (8/5): Very good - The staffs were very polite. although the room was a bit old but it was the biggest room we had during our 16 days visit in Japan. nothing
• Peng Cheau Patrick (2/5): Don't book - I book a non-smoking room but was allocated with smoking room. Need to pay extra for the nonsmoking room. They said I had requested but is not confirmed by the hotel! Hotel lobby is at 1st floor and the elevator is hidden. After checkout, the hotel staff is not helping to bring down luggage to ground floor. After asking then he activated the elevator so that i can access to ground floor. The bed size for twin sharing and single are the same: only 120cm width! Very disappointed and regret to book this hotel. Attach photos is the stairs to lobby
• Kenichi (8/5): Very good -
• Princy (7/5): Good -
• allmark21 (8/5): Very helpful staff - Stayed here for a night during the Rugby World Cup - basic hotel which did the job and staff were exceptionally helpful with maps to the stadium etc. Short walk to China town where there are lots of restaurants
• Booab (10/5): A great little hotel with amazingly helpful staff - Stayed here for the Rugby World Cup. The staff couldn’t be more helpful. They had helpful maps about the game all prepared. Booked us a great restaurant near our hotel and even an itinerant that included all we needed to know to get the the stadium. And even which was the most convenient exit to take to enter the ground. Amazing.
• rhea2yang (6/5): Functional as per Need - Stayed here for a business trip for 3 nights. Room is cozy with just enough space. With ioniser and clothes dryer in room along with mini ref, tv and complimentary tea and biscuit daily. Open the window if you feel aircon is not cold enough. Great toiletry set with shiseido branded stuff. Just 11minutes to subway and airport bus stop, 6 minutes to chinatown. Stone’s throw away from the Kobe museum and the premium shops strip. With a familymart and 7/11 across the street. Buffet breakfast is basic though and so far the same everyday.
• Theresa (8/5): Convenient location - Located within the main city area and close to department stores and cafes. Short morning walk to Meriken Park, Chinatown, Motomachi. We had lovely Boston lobster roll at Luke's.
• WengHerng (8/5): Value for money - Stayed for a week in October 2015 for business. Couldn't complain too much for the price, really. However, patrons should be aware that there is a long flight of stairs to the lobby which is located on the first floor, so be prepared to lug your baggage up. (They do have an elevator from the ground floor to the lobby, but they usually shut it down, and you have to go to the lobby first to request them to operate it......not worth the trouble). Rooms are tiny (very normal in Japan) but immaculately clean. Not much choices of restaurants in the immediate vicinity, but the happening places are not too far away, just around 10 minutes' walk towards Sannomiya Station.
• tripowl123 (8/5): Comfortable - The hotel is around 10 min walk from the station. There is hardly any place where one can eat near the hotel (although there is a nice small restaurant inside the hotel), so it is recommended that you eat near the station before coming (back) to the hotel. There are a lot of places to eat near San-no-miya station. The entrance is on the second floor. So, if you have a luggage, you need to go to the side of the building, where there is a lift. The lift is very difficult to find and you need to ask the guard to use the key to open the lift. But the guard is alert, and he will come out for you immediately. Rooms can be a bit smelly with the smell of cigarette, so if one is sensitive to cigarette smell, it is strongly advised to request for a non-smoking room. There is an electric kettle, but there is no coffee, so if one is a coffee drinker, better to bring with you. It has a nice writing desk, so easy to work. It has large mirror, so that is convenient. It is equipped with shampoo, conditioner and bath gel. But there is no body/hand cream, and it can be dry during winter, so you might like to bring some with you. Breakfast had a good variety, and it was not crowded, so had quite a comfortable breakfast. Breakfast is value for money if you are booking via internet and have a discounted price.
• Spatchski (6/5): Old and tired hotel... - Hotel is located 5min walk from the Sannomiya Station. There is parking available at the hotel. There is no parking bay outside hotel entrance and parking is located on the side of the hotel. (Check google maps for better indication). There is only one elevator in the building but we never waited too long. Rooms were clean but felt old and tired. Basics covered and good location but not great value for your money.
• Ian_Pratt (4/5): Gets the basics wrong - I stayed at the Via Mare for three nights in November 2015. The Via Mare is located a short walk to Sannomiya Station, in the heart of the former foreign settlement area. There are more than enough restaurants, cafes and bars in the area to keep you amused in the evenings. The Via Mare is a pretty poor option here, though - it just doesn't work. From the moment when you arrive (there is no elevator...you need to lug your bag up a flight of stairs to get to reception), they just don't seem to get things right. Rooms are small, but that's normal in Japan. But mine was never cleaned in the three days I was there - rather, a plastic bag was tied to my door each day, containing fresh towels. Now, a room as tiny as those at Via Mare get messy fast, and after three days the microscopic rubbish bins are overflowing and the place is a dump. Internet is so slow as to be barely functional - certainly not good enough for a Skype chat, or even to reliably download email. This seems such a basic thing these days...why can't hotels get it right? The fit out of the rooms is ancients, and is in desperate need of a refreshment. Breakfast is really, really poor. Not much positive to say about Via Mare. There are many new entrants in the Kobe business hotel market, and this place has been well and truly lapped by the competition.
• JanlynK (8/5): Hotel in Old European Building - This hotel is placed between Sannomiya station and Kobe port, about 10-15mins walk from either Sannomiya station or Kobe port. So, it is kind of convenient if you would like to getting around Kobe city or getting off Kobe. Although it is within an old European building, the room/furniture/utilities inside doesn't give any feeling of this. They are clean and well maintain. Since I have been staying there as a business traveler, I feel great for the room size and bed size, as well as the utilities provided. The workers in there are friendly and helpful, although they don't really speak English. One tip for this hotel: The doorway of this hotel needs to go through a staircase. If you have a lot of luggages, you may ask the worker for help and they will carry your luggage through the lift beside car park, which seems like accessible by employee only =)
