| Access to JR Shin Kobe brilliant, access to subway via hotel basement also simple. Counter staff excellent. Fantastic views. Bedrooms a good size, and very reasonable rates. Stayed at Sannomiya Central last time, but this left it for dead, and cheaper too. Will definately be staying again. |

| The hotel was fabulous. The price was the deciding factor, very affordable when comparing to others in the area and what we got for the price. The location is a little out of the way. It is right next to the bullet train station but out away from the rest of Kobe because of that. Access to the Kobe subway is easy with an elevator right off the lobby; 200 yen to ride to Sannomiya, the main train station in Kobe (and lots of shopping). Lots of shopping and eating places in the floors below the hotel lobby. Hotel restaurants are priced very high. Room comfort was wonderful. I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the room having stayed at other hotels in Japan. English newspapers delivered to the door daily. Tea maker provided (no coffee maker). Offers lots of amenities we didn't even get a chance to use. |

| Very nice hotel with very friendly staff that helped us a lot to make our stay comfortable. One of the staff who was originally from Netherlands was very helpful and so was Momoyo. The buffet dinner was very good and elaborate. The location is perfect as its just near the Shin Kobe Train Station. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Kobe and would certainly stay there next time as well. |

| Excellent service and great location for all activities. Restaurant recommendations from the concierge were not great so would do more of my own research in the future. Bar doesn't open until 6pm but you can get a drink in the cafe, although it has a cafe "feel". Breakfast is very good quality - can particularly recommend the poached eggs. Bar on 36th floor has excellent service and view/ambiance at night. |

| Having arrived in Kobe after 50 hours on a ferry from China, the Crowne Plaza was just what I needed - easy to get to (directly on top of a subway station and beside the JR Kobe station), with friendly, helpful staff and clean rooms, with all the amentities that I needed. There is also a shopping complex underneath with restaurants, a supermarket and a 100 yen shop so eating out or stocking up couldn`t be easier. |
