Kobe MerikenPark Oriental Hotel
Every aspect was superb. But with only one negative and its the shower's water pressure. Last three stays, water pressure was below average. Disappointing especially for an executive room.

The staff were so friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was positioned perfectly between 2 main stations and had plenty of choices to eat. The room itself was fine, small as our most in Japanese cities but perfect for a solo traveler
