Really loved the location, in Chinatown, but still felt quiet. Close to stations, but we walked around a lot and found the location centralize to Kobe's sites. Free noodles at end of night was a really nice touch.
A very convenient location, right on the very edge of Kobe Chinatown, which is parallel to a long outdoor shopping mall. The hot water onsen part is small but sufficient. Free washers on site and dryers are very cheap. You can store your luggage if early or after checking out to explore the grounds. The staff spoke English and were friendly. My wife was amazed thst this place was only about $100 a night to stay in. The beds were very comfortable and everything was clean. It's a nice place to stay and I recommend it!
