DaiwaRoynetHotel Kobe-Sannomiya PREMIER
Excellent location, pleasant lobby, helpful staff and clean well-maintained rooms — but the rooms are very small. There’s barely space for belongings, and our double bed was against one wall so hard to get in or out. Otherwise a very pleasant stay. Nice Italian restaurant too.

The hotel looked really nice. The room was on the smaller size. It was convenient as it’s close to Osaka Station. A lot of dining options nearby.
