Hotel THE ROYAL PARK CANVAS a Kōbe

The location of the hotel is great, surrounded by convenience stores (a 24hrs Donki is at the opposite of the hotel, with FamilyMart and 7-Eleven along the streets) & affordable restaurants. The train stations for four lines and also the transit bus to Kansai Airport is only an 8-10 mins walk away, granting easy access not only to varies tourist sites in Kobe, but also to Osaka and the airport. The room is not spacious but we have enough room to spread out 1-2 luggages (hotel rooms in Japan are typically very small), the double bed is comfy and big. The room is soundproofed, we knew there were children and families staying on our floor but we only heard them once from the hallway, the room enable us to get a good night's sleep in such a busy area. The public area and room are clean, staff clean the room every 3 days, but you can also request room cleaning service every day by telling the reception. I personally enjoy the shower very much, the water flow is strong, and the rainfall shower did an excellent job to wash our tiredness away. Shampoo, conditioner & shower gel is provided, other disposable toiletries are available on the lobby floor. There are 3 washing machines (wash & dry) for all guests on the 2/F?? which can be paid by coins, the laundry room is usually fully occupied and it is better to avoid after-dinner hours, it would be perfect if every room has its own washing machines like other hotels. During our stay (which is the hottest time in summer), the hotel thoughtfully provided ice-cream soda for guests at their cafe every night after 8PM, that is a suitable place where you can get refreshed and chit-chat after a long day. Overall, we appreciate the professional service of hotel staffs and enjoy our stay at the hotel, we would recommend The Royal Park Canvas to those are looking for an affordable, quality hotel with convenient location.
