Great view of the Kobe skyline and waterfront, from a spacious, two-bedroom apartment up on the hill overlooking the city. Close to the train station, and right along a bus route into the city.

Taxi driver didnt know the place and took him for a while to figure out. Cant check in after 8 is kind of inconvenient but once we checked in, it was good. Bus stop to go to Sannomiya ststion is right in front of the place and it wad convenient.

First off, not easy to find. Look for shop front Zest. Friendly German lad checked us in but bless him, didnt seem like he knew what he was doing. Apartment had spectacular view of Kobe, but sadly was a little dilapidated. Towels supplied smelled awful. Our bedroom door didnt lock. Disappointed the organic food shop only did frozen curries. Luckily we had the place to ourselves and thats one major plus point. Loads of space, kitchen facilities with big fridge and very close to Shin Kobe station. Despite its faults, we had a lovely time in Kobe. Id definitely recommend to those on a shoestring who enjoy self-catering :) Loved that view.

I could not work out the written password for the WiFi, but the shop where I could contact staff was closed before I came home or before I left in the morning, so I went with out WiFi for 2 days. The place does not look as good as .the photos.

I visited Kobe for a conference at the Kobe art center and I booked SeaViewCourtKobe considering its proximity to the art center as well as Shinkobe station (it is within walking 10 minutes walking distance from the art center / ShinKobe station). SeaViewCourtKobe is located in a very serene location with the harbor view from the living room and mountain view from one of the bed rooms. The evening/night view of Kobe city is simple marvelous. While it is located in a very serene location, it is very easily accessible to the harbor / Sannomiya , the city downtown and railway station apart from ShinKobe station for the bullet train. There is a bus stop bang in front of the property which takes one to the city center in about 10 minutes maximum and 5/6 bus stops away. About the property itself, the rooms are large and spacious with the completely furnished kitchen and living room available for use. It is more like a home away from home experience rather than a typical hotel stay in Japan. There are also a couple of 24X7 convenience store in the vicinity of the SeaViewCourtKobe. The host Atoo is very nice and hospitable. I for one am a pure vegetarian and Atoo made some special food arrangements for me. The property has a natural and organic food store attached where some very nice Indian food is available on prior intimation. Overall it was a very satisfying stay and I am really happy that I decided to stay here than in a regular hotel.
