Nice and close to Sannomiya station.

No complaints. Nice and a close walk to some very packed plaza’s, fashion houses, and eateries. Very slight damp odour in the bathroom, but would happily stay again.

This is a good hotel, the space is kept up and the room is contemporary, easily arrived at from the Sannomiya stop. Nothing wowed me, but nothing to suggest you shouldn't stay here.

If you find the right way is less then 10 mins to reach the hotel. Staffs are very friendly and helpful, easy check in. Room is really small, you may find it difficult to move around with a big luggage. We stay for a night without luggage hence quite alright for small build like us. Less then 5mins walked you are at the shopping district with major brands. Transportation are easily accessible,15-18mins walk to Nankinmachi which is a Chinatown. Overall I would still recommend the stay.

Not a great experience honestly. I have stayed at other Apas and they were way better. If your not a smoker then not a great start to look at this one. No iron, and laundry machine was broken.
