Seaside Hotel Maiko Villa Kobe
Spectacular sunset view of Akashi bridge and Setouchi sea.

Hotel Nikko Kansai Airport
The reason that not five stars is that it lacks a sign to point out the check-in is downstairs at 1st floor. If you come directly from terminal using the sky bridge, it connects you to the restaurant. Certainly you can ask, but Japanese is their language, good luck.

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.
