I picked Pearl City after thoroughly researching other reviews. I managed to find a breakfast package deal and it was well worth it. I stayed in a single room for 2 nights. I looked at the 'reading room', vending machine area, but did not go in the sauna because you need to pay extra. My room was comfortable, had a view of the harbour. A nice bath, fairly spacious room. There is free wifi, but at times it may be slow. I would recommend this hotel to someone wanting a weekend away in Kobe. The only downside might be that it is far from the city center, but because there is a free shuttle every half hour/every hour, I actually preferred the quiet location.
