Comfort Hotel ERA Kobe Sannomiya

I stayed at this Hotel the night before to catch the bus from Sannomiya to Awaji Island.The area in front of the station was under construction, so I had to take a detour,but it was conveniently located near the station and close to the bus stop.The building next door was also under construction, but it wasn’t an issue.There is a book lounge, which I was very happy about as a book-lounge fan.(I only found out after staying.)Drinks and two kinds of snacks were available free of charge.I didn’t use it, but there was also a sweets time,with local donuts served.Despite how it looks from the outside, it was a comfortable Hotel.

Conveniently located near Sannomiya Station, with a convenience store nearby. Despite being close to the station, the surroundings are not noisy. One of the highlights of this hotel is its café room, where guests can enjoy free coffee and tea, and at certain times, Kobe donuts are available. Selected books are also provided, offering an interesting chance to discover books you might not usually buy. This is one of my favorite accommodations, and I plan to stay here again if I visit Kobe in the future.One downside was that there was noticeable limescale buildup on the faucet area in the bathroom. It might not be visible from above but becomes apparent when soaking in the bathtub. The stains were easy to remove when scrubbed, so it would be great if more attention could be paid to such details as it would make this already excellent accommodation even better.Other than that issue with cleanliness, my stay was comfortable and I highly recommend this hotel!
