Their parking is right behind the hotel. Park and pay hotel 1000 yen for a day. Good location but room is dirty. Poop stains in toilet bowl, slippers by previous occupant under bed when we first went into the room. Poor house keeping.

It could be a miscommunication between Expedia and the property. We booked fourth room for 4 people, but only 3 beds were prepared. We asked to set up sofa bed in the room but they refused as housekeepers are gone. I wish they just gave us sheets and comforter to make a bed by ourselves.

I'm in a wheelchair so a little prejudiced due to circumstances. Staff and service was great. Mainly as question was worded couldn't give all perfect. Nothing the hotel could do as just the roads from the train station to there very uneven and not easy to navigate at many places. Once at hotel was fine so not hotel's fault but to get their took some effort. At the hotel staff was always helpful and ready to help. Would have liked some bars in bath or toilet but not a problem. Just would have been nicer if had them. Great time and closeness to Chinatown in Kobe a big plus.
