    LOVE HOTEL PIENA…
    5 / 5
    It was our first visit to Kobe and we checked in at Hotel Piena on a rainy day. The front desk immediately gave us a towel to dry off. We got to our room where we stayed in a light mint green room. The hotel didn't feel old per se but more vintage with the decor and furniture and we loved it. They offered a smart phone that we could take around. It was loaded with maps and suggestions. One thing I loved was that you could say that you didn't want your room cleaned for the day and then you would receive 1000 yen to use at the cafe! I bought some jam! Last thing, and the reason why I booked this hotel, WAS FOR THE BREAKFAST BUFFET. It was everything I wanted and more. WE ate at the buffet twice. If I return to Kobe, I will be coming back here again..and again..…
