We enjoyed our stay here at The B Kobe. The staff is very kind, the room was nice and clean, with enough space for our luggages as well. There is no bath, but the bathroom is large good for my family in the morning brushing our teeth. Room has a nice little breakfast table and office as well. Overall enjoyed my stay and it was very close to the area my family wanted to explore.

Too many mainland tourists（China) staying here, some seemed to be smoking in the bathroom. There was an unpleasant smell of smoke coming from the exhaust system.

Area was perfect to find a good Chinese restaurant. There was only air switch in the room. We couldn’t change the temperature and it was a little hot. Front desk staff was friendly and gifts upon check in was wonderful. We also enjoyed fresh breakfast and they had many options.

The B Hotel was a nice stay. The staff were very helpful and the room was large by Japanese business hotel standards. I was there in November; the only quibble I have is that the AC is central and you can't control it from your room. I cranked the fan on but that made it worse. I found a review that suggested that it was best to turn off the fan and just let the cold from the windows cool the place off. and that worked. I'd suggest that the management invest in some cheap fans, they would probably do the job. But its a minor quibble; the place was great, particularly for the price, and there was free coffee.
