Villa Fontaine Kobe Sannomiya | Sumitomo Realty & Development

This was my first stay here. I arrived earlier than the check-in time and asked to leave my luggage, but since housekeeping had already finished, they kindly accommodated me and let me into my Room early. The Room was spotless and very comfortable. I was impressed that the in-room safe was designed to blend in with the interior so it wouldn’t disrupt the Room’s atmosphere. Also, while there were no drinks provided in the Room, there was a complimentary drink service in the lounge. From 17:00 to 20:00, happy hour included sparkling wine and other alcoholic beverages as well as light snacks, which felt like a great value.Whenever I went out or returned to the Hotel, staff always greeted me with “Have a nice day” and “Welcome back,” which made my stay very pleasant.I would love to stay again if I have the chance.

I love wine, so I stayed here to check out the lounge.There were two kinds of red wine, plus white and sparkling—everything was delicious. There were also various other alcoholic drinks. Snacks included financiers, chocolate, tortilla chips with salsa, and about three more options, which was a nice selection.There was plenty of seating, so I had a light drink before going out for dinner and then came back for another round. Next time I’d like to bring my kids.The Room, entrance hall, and lobby all had a stylish feel. The bath had plenty of hot water. The shower curtain smelled a bit musty, so I’m giving it 3 stars.The Room door and construction felt solid, so I couldn’t hear voices or noise from other rooms at all.Breakfast also felt stylish: salad; salami; sausages; eggs; curry with parsley rice; clam chowder; pancakes; and more.The bread I was looking forward to was in a separate area of the counter—high quality and excellent.Thank you for offering smaller portions so we could try different kinds (sliced bread, bagels, butter rolls, croissants, etc.). Le Pain only had tomato bread that day, but it was delicious too.
