7.5 Good
Pros: Excellent location. Within walking distance of rail/bus stations and main shopping streets. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was neat, tidy and very spacious.
Cons: Food was OK but not remarkable compared to other onsen ryokans we’ve stayed with. There was not much of a view nor too much privacy at the open air baths (whether public or in-room), as there were many buildings around the hotel. Layout of the room was a bit odd as the private bath and the shower area were located at opposite ends of the room.

9.2 Excellent
Pros: First time to spend a night in an onsen ryokan. Staff is really really nice. We deeply received their warm welcome. We thought there is no bathroom in our room according to the description but actually there is one. The private onsen is free but you need to reserve it. If you want to use it after dinner make sure you check-in earlier to make the booking. We were only able to enjoy it before the dinner and in the next day morning. Dinner and breakfast were also great. Overall we enjoy the stay very much~
Cons: In the next day morning when we go to the private onsen I found a dead cockroach in one of the pool :(
10.0 Excellent
Pros: We loved the service and traditional way in which everyone behaved towards us.
Cons: There was nothing to dislike!
7.0 Good
Pros: The staff were extremely helpful in helping us to plan our travel to the onsen, and were very welcoming once we arrived. The free shuttle bus from the train and bus stations to the onsen was a great service. The private baths were beautiful and very enjoyable. The Japanese style rooms and food was a very new experience, but well worth the venture.
Cons: Japanese sleeping style (i.e. on the floor) that was part of the package that we had chosen was something we had not experienced before and so we didnt sleep very well. However, this did not take away from the overall experience and it was great to have the opportunity to experience their culture in such a welcoming environment.

10.0 Excellent
Pros: The ryokan is both comfortable and beautifully decorated. The staff have excellent hospitality and will not hesitate to assist you with anything you need. I also tried the kaiseki dinner which was pricey but well worth the experience. Because there are not many rooms in the ryokan, the baths are not crowded and you may often enjoy peace and solitude while enjoying the characteristic ‘kinsen’ of the region. Staying here has made me want to visit Arima again.
Cons: There is no lift so people with back or knee problems may experience difficulty climbing the stairs to their room. The air conditioner occasionally made a low whirring noise at night, but wasn’t loud enough to prevent me from sleeping.

Pros: The excellent care by the staff was beyond any expectation that I could have imagined. The rides to and from the train station, bus station other hotels and attractions around the town was so helpful and unexpected and it made our vacation so much more enjoyable because it was extra easy to get around.
Cons: There’s nothing we didn’t like.
7.5 Good
Pros: The meals, service, and the facilities (especially the bath in Hanamusbi) are superb. There were not many guests during my visit, so the bath was all ours. Do not miss the dinner.
Cons: 1. All the mattresses they had in the room were all filthy with blood and urine stains. When I complained about it, the staff reported that they put covers on them which are thoroughly cleaned. It still felt bad sleeping on it though. 2. I wanted to make a change in a room type (from only breakfast included to both breakfast and dinner included). The staff was not very responsive to my request and had troubles understanding it. It took me three weeks to get what I wanted. 3. Difficulties communicating in English in general. No English menu in writing for dinner. 4. I emailed prior to my arrival that I would like a bus to pick us up at a particular time. No one came and because I was not able to call them, I had to climb the hills with my luggage to get to the hotel.

Cons: None

9.6 Excellent
Pros: Everything else. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Free shuttle to and fro town was very convenient for us. Rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. Good to have the small basin in the room so we can wash up without going to the shared bathroom outside. Food was DELICIOUS and served in very hearty portions. Overall, wonderful experience!
Cons: Shared bathroom was rather inconvenient for the elderly, and the onsen (shared shower) could be a little dangerous as it can get slippery.
7.1 Good
Pros: The friendliness of the owner
Cons: The onsen facilities. To get a bath in iron water one hes to walk uphill, in the cold. When getting there the baths is disappointedly small . The iron bath can only fit comfortably 2 persons. Besides, I disgustingly experienced a Chenise man with his 6-7 yrs old son dipping into the clear water pool without pre-washing and a group of 3 Chenise men doing the same. I was in the the iron pool so they could not fit in and they they headed dor the clear water pool. i had to leave the complex, and going baxk to Notori for the clear water pool. The hote owner has to teach Chinese tourists how to take a bath in onsens, otherwiise we would end up bathing in Chinese pissess. Gone was the day when only Japanese gentlemen visit onsens.
8.8 Excellent
Pros: Breakfast is scrumptious. Great! "Silver" bath is available in the ryokan. For "golden" bath, we need to walk to the other bigger hotel, it was bigger and more bath pools in that property, which was a great deal! For those who book with dinner, dinner is served in the other hotel. It is fun to wear the bath rope and wooden sandal around/to the other hotel. Storage of luggage before check-in and after check-out is possible and it is free of charge.
Cons: The receptionist could barely speak English. Information is printed on a paper with multiple languages for guests' convenient, but other requests/communication is a bit hard to achieve. Transfer to/from bus/train station is only limited to 3pm for check-in and 10am for check-out. If you arrive/depart at other timing than the stipulated time by the ryokan, you will need to walk about 7-10 mins from/to the stations. Not particularly far but it is uphill towards the ryokan. Kindly take note.

Pros: It was the second time I stayed at this hotel in Arima Onsen and it's as good as the previous time! I'm not sure the staff can speak English though, we always talked in Japanese with them.

9.2 Excellent
Pros: Superb dinner course! We enjoined a real first-class kaiseki experience delivered by the team led by chef Matsuoka-san, a kind gentlemen and extremely dedicated to offering only the highest possible service to his guests. All the other staff were also genuinely friendly and customer-oriented all the time. Check-in / check-out hours very flexible. Both of the hot spring rooms inside the ryokan were spacious and wonderful to enjoy, especially the one with the iron kettle tub. Great value for money given onsen-ryokan tend to be expensive in Japanese hot spring areas!
Cons: Room was averagely spacious and we could follow the conversations of the guests upstairs and the couple nextdoors. Only 2 hotspring bathing rooms available inside the ryokan, of which the one with the iron kettle tub was occupied most of the time. However, a stay includes free entrance to the hot spring of a ryokan down the road, which makes up for this inconvenience.
7.5 Good
Pros: The hotel is beautiful, staff nice and helpful, fantastic dinner.
Cons: Our beds in the Japanese style room were incredibly uncomfortable. They are not futon beds but something more towards hospital beds to help people with physical impairments or the elderly, which would be ok, if the mattresses were not the worst I have tried in years.

Pros: Other than the air conditioning problem, everything is perfect. The best part is the service of the staffs. You can feel they are very much care of you. Their service made me feel I am really their VIP guest there!

9.6 Excellent
Pros: It's our first time to Arima-onsen and Gekkoen left our family an wonderful memory. At arrival, we're already embraced by the hospitality of the staff. With one single call, they picked us up at the train station in just a few minutes and welcomed us warmly at the gate. How warm! Super delicious Kaiseki Dinner and out of expectation Breakfast had brought out the very beauty of Japanese cuisine. It's a MUST-TRY besides Onsen. All 3 Onsen inside the Ryokan and her sister buildings are fantastic. Also the free massage chairs are such a suprise. They just made the whole onsen experience much more perfect. In short, I will definitely recommend Gekkoen to anyone who want to have a genuien experience of Japanese onsen and cuisine. And will revisit her if I shall go to Arima again.
Cons: It's pity that there aren't any drinks auto-selling machine inside the Ryokan building. When we finish Onsen late, we'd always like to buy some drinks but it seems we could only get some at the restuarants, or walk outside... It will be so great if such machines are equipped inside the Ryokan.

5.4 Okay
Pros: Just average, luckily there was cherry blossom. Staff at the reception is ok.
Cons: Not good food, the staff at the dining room had no smile. Below par service. Hot spring is normal, not good. With the price I expect more. Will not recommend.
7.9 Good
Pros: View and hot spring
Cons: Value for money is quite low given the facility is a bit old. They used to serve wagyu beef for dinner but not this time around so my family was pretty disappointed.
7.5 Good
Pros: The hot spring is awesome. Staffs are nice and very helpful.
Cons: This hotel is very old. The diner included is mediocre. Good for photographing but not so good for tongue. I am disappointed by the food.

8.8 Excellent
Pros: Great location, extremely friendly staff. Breakfast worth it.
Cons: You can tell it’s a hotel that allowed smoking at one point but they have done everything they can to try and get rid of it. It’s not overwhelming and our room and stay were perfectly fine. But it’s there.
4.6 Okay
Pros: Good location and the size of the room is good for Japan.
Cons: The bed was lopsided, the room didn’t feel clean and it was overpriced for what can only be described as a poor version of a Premier Inn. Only stayed because it was convent for the World Cup game we were going to watch.

Featured amenities include complimentary wired Internet access, a business center, and complimentary newspapers in the lobby. A train station pick-up service is provided at no charge, and self parking (subject to charges) is available onsite.
8.8 Excellent
Pros: Although it's not a new hotel but facilities are well maintained. The rooms are spacious and the location is close to Kobe port. It's convenient for the tourists who are driving.
9.2 Excellent
Pros: This hotel way exceeded expectations for friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Nothing was too much trouble. the teppanyaki serving the Kobe beef on the 35th floor was incomparable - not cheap but a must do!
Cons: While I knew the price before I booked the hotel I still think it only reflected fair value for money. Also the Japanese VAT didn't seem to be explained well enough on their website - i.e. that I had to pay it (as someone who doesn't visit Japan often I didn't realise it was so high).
9.2 Excellent
Pros: Views. Staff. Room standards. Bar.
Cons: Courtesy shuttle bus didn’t take us to Shinkansen stop at ShinKobe station (only available weekends apparently). Had to go with luggage via Shinnoya which is a complex walk. If we’d known we would have taken a cab.
9.2 Excellent
Pros: Very comfortable, good location for harbor area. Longer walk to central area, or shuttle bus if bad weather.
Cons: The bar was somewhat souless.
6.3 Good
Pros: It’s central and with a nice view of the bay.
Cons: The furniture and finishes are old, and not the classy old. Cheap, lightweight furniture. Also, the computer facilities are shocking for this day and age.
5.8 Okay
Pros: The view from the room was great. The room itself was large and comfortable, if showing signs of wear. Cleanliness was far from the Japanese standard we have experienced elsewhere. This made the price seem too high.
Cons: The hotel needs a top to tail renovation. Everywhere there are signs of age. Dirty carpets (especially in the coffee shop). The overflow hole in our bathroom sink was disgusting and had clearly not been a part of routine cleaning in a long time! The skirt around the base of the bed was torn. We avoided eating in the hotel because we simply did not trust the cleanliness standards.
7.5 Good
Pros: Great location, Convenient shuttle bus, Perfect service
Cons: If you are sensitive to the sleeping environment，you must at least get some earplugs. There is a noise from exhaust duct in the bathroom every a few minute, spread into the room.

9.2 Excellent
Pros: Great room with nice views! Excellent food with good taste! I will come back woon.
Cons: It was difficult to understand the kaiseki buffet system for us. I think tha it's better to prepare the manual of usage about kaiseki buffet for foreigners.
9.2 Excellent
Pros: Gorgeous room, incredibly comfortable and very spacious. Lovely rooftop onsen and wonderful buffet for breakfast and dinner.
Cons: shuttle to Shin Kobe station would be very helpful as using the subway is tricky with luggage
9.6 Excellent
Pros: The onsen was really amazingly good.
Cons: The view of our room was on the opposite side of the port. We were hoping to have the port view.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Incredible buffet breakfast, with so many choices! it would be nice to have the items labelled in English as well as Japanese, since we did not recognize many of them. Baths on first floor (open to public) were charming; baths on top floor had a great view. Room was lovely and our balcony overlooked the harbor.
9.2 Excellent
Pros: Wow! Where do I start? The staff are very accomodating and proactive, delivering 5-star customer service. The views from the room were spectacular. We asked to have rooms close by to one another & they certainly delivered! We were able to drop our bags off before check in and they carried it up to our rooms. The rooftop onsen is a must.
Cons: The onsen ren is located far from the station. It's in a quiet area by the bay, we wish we knew that there was a shuttle bus operating from the train to the hotel.

Pros: Wonderful onsen (hot springs) (one of the best onsen in Japan), good location, comfortable room
Cons: Only few vegetarian dishes in the restaurant (dinner and breakfast buffet)
8.3 Excellent
Pros: The rooms are very large and clean. The have many hot spring baths, which are well maintained and monitored. The buffet staff is amazingly friendly and efficient.
Cons: The location is out of the way. The nearest train station is approx. 15-20 minutes away on foot. There Is nothing to do or see right around the hotel. Meriden Park is a 15 minute walk. While the restaurant staff is amazing (among the best we’ve ever experienced), the front desk staff needs training. As an example, we asked two simple questions about the Shin-Kobe station. After conferring with each other in Japanese, one said, “sorry we don’t know.” There was no offer to check or to try to assist. The lobby was entirely empty, and so it was not like they were so busy helping others that they couldn’t help us. I was surprised by this experience because at other hotels in Japan, the hotel front desk staff bent over backwards to help and find answers for us. The same staff also stood by and watched my wife and me lug 4 suitcases to the cab.
