Kobe Portopia Hotel
The room was dirty, very obvious stains, and hair in obvious places. Was not thoroughly cleaned. Bathtub was dirty to the point I did not want to take a bath in it. The bed was clean though.

Very happy with the hotel, breakfast was outstanding, such a vast selection to choice from. The location is ideal for travelling beyond Kobe, the Shin- Kobe line is directly below the hotel.
