Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kobe Sannomiya
ホテルは綺麗で清潔、朝食も種類豊富で味が濃くなく、美味しかったです。ただ、値段上仕方ありませんが、部屋は狭く、かつ、ユニットバスルームに臭いがあったのが減点でしょうか。それでも、値段を考えれば十分満足でした。

Everything keeps in the brand standard it suppose to be. Large and cozy room and nice view. Close to train station. One drawback is the room decoration amd facilites such as a/c control is outdated, renovation and refurbishment are definitely in needed.
