Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Kobe Portopia Hotel from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the spacious and quiet rooms at Kobe Portopia Hotel, some even highlighting beautiful views, such as those overlooking the Port Tower and park. The hotel's complimentary shuttle service to Sannomiya and Shin-Kobe stations is a much-appreciated convenience, as is the on-site Family Mart. While some guests have mentioned the carpets could use a deep clean, the hotel's connection to the Portliner train for access to Kobe Animal Kingdom and Kobe Airport, plus its proximity to IKEA, adds to its appeal.

the rooms were big for Japan standards. i liked that the hotel provide a shuttle bus to the station. it was very convenient and prompt. i also used the sheltered walkway to access public transport, and it was very helpful.

the air conditioning system was centralised, so i was unable to adjust temperature in the room. this made the room uncomfortably warm. the bathroom water did not drain quickly after i shower.
