Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were okay for a one-night stay, but they were very small and quite dusty, triggering my husband's allergies. Despite being clean, there was a persistent unpleasant smell in the public areas. On the bright side, the hotel offers free Wi-Fi, even though the signal is weak and may disconnect frequently.
The hotel is conveniently located near major train stations and shopping complexes, making it an ideal base for exploring nearby cities like Kobe and Kyoto. The rooms, though clean, are quite tiny, especially for twin accommodations. The service was friendly and helpful, and the dining options offered a decent variety of food. However, the public areas had a consistent unpleasant odor, impacting the overall experience.
The hotel may have tiny rooms but they are sufficient for a good night's sleep if you are out exploring all day. The check-in desk is conveniently located nearby. The service is attentive although the rooms are smaller than expected. The location is excellent, especially for budget travelers looking to explore nearby cities like Kobe and Kyoto. Dining options are available in the connected New Hankyu Hotel. Facilities are basic but satisfactory.
