Kobe Portopia Hotel

The very helpful staff. I stayed here about 20 years ago and I was delighted to see it is still in excellent condition and is very well appointed,a beautiful hotel. I was very impressed with the bus service to Sannomiya and Shin Kobe,all of the bus drivers offered excellent service and are a credit to the hotel.I also needed to use the business centre to get some important contracts printed and then signed and sent back to the Czech Republic,the young lady who assisted me was great friendly,helpful and efficient another outstanding member of staff.

The breakfast was so tasty. I really liked that there were three options buffet on 30th floor, on Sunday the Teppanyaki set enabled me to try Kobe beef otherwise very expensive. It was a memorable moment. The staff were so polite although I couldn’t speak Japanese well they wer anticipating what I could be possibly looking for. Is also went once to Cafe Socco for dinner in the evening the curry and dessert selection was really tasty. I liked the bedroom with drawers and cupboard to fit in all my belongings. The view was beautiful. Although not in the center of Kobe it is easily accessible with the portliner. As a tourist I could use the three days Kansai railway pass to go to Osaka, Kyoto and my favorite place, the Biwa-ko otsukan, and I wouldn’t be too tired in the evening and have seen the pretty cherry blossom. I regret not having been able to stay for a week, Nunobiki garden in Kobe with Veranda cafe in tropical gardens is just splendid. I enjoyed tooth tooth cakestore in Kobe, the hotel and the city surroundings are really a beautiful place to stay in Japan.

Incredible value for 5 star elegant hotel Staff are all very proper and polite. Luggage free storage service was available on request , limited within one month even after check out. Very spacious room which is rare to find as the Japanese standard. Could stay longer even after 4 nights spent.

The service was excellent. The staff members were polite and friendly. Excellent drink at the main bar. Breakfast with a view from thec30th floor was amazing. Free shuttle buses were provided.

The hotel has a free shuttle bus to and from Kobe train station and this is very convenient. The breakfast on the 30th floor was excellent; delicious food and a gorgeous view over the harbour. The staff, without exception, were courteous and friendly.
