Good location and hotel for a one-night stopover in Kobe. Decent value for something close to the station, in the main downtown area.

Great location, staff were friendly but English was a problem (It's Japan, they speak Japanese, I get it.. but a little more English in a tourist location is probably not too much to expect)

I enjoyed my stay at APA Hotel Kobe Sannomiya Ekimae. The hotel location is great, the personnel are polite, and all the amenities have been provided. Price/Quality ratio met my expectations. I marked comfort level as good due to the fact the room is a standard small one suitable for 1 or 2 travelers. Nice choice for those who want to save some money and have a pleasant stay in Kobe.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, the only thing that we missed compared to other similar hotels was the hot common bath, but I guess that's not something they can add ;). Generally a nice hotel, comfy beds, and good location.
