9.6 Excellent
Pros: The place is on top of the hill, you would need transport. Walkng around the town was nice. The golden water was really superb and everything was clean and it was expensive for the price because it only included breakfast. But for the privacy of the private onsen and room 311 is really nice, its worth an indulgence. There were free drinks at the lobby and selection was v good
Cons: because of its size, it lost a bit of its Japanese boutique feel.
7.1 Good
Pros: the dinner and breakfast were good. Staffs were friendly.
Cons: The room is smaller than I expected and experienced in other Onsen Ryokans. The staffs were very busy with too many guests. Actually comparing with other Onsen places, with the money we spent, it could be more. Arima is not so nice, as it sounds like.

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.

9.6 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!

10.0 Excellent
Pros: Food and service at dinner and breakfast were not only beautiful, but delicious, too. Room was comfortable, clean and spacious. Lighting inside the room was well planned.
Cons: The only drawback, which was a minor one, was not having a private toilet or shower inside the room, or close by. It was a short walk down a hall.
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.

9.0 Excellent
Pros: Fantastic resort and with 2 Onsen facilities at that. Great place with not too many tourists, you can see that its frequented a lot by locals as well. Their set meals are simply amazing, we had things at breakfast and dinner that we had never heard of in Japanese cuisine. Onsen timings are super nice, they run from early morning all the way till 11 at night.
Cons: The free shuttle service they have from hotel to station etc can be advertised a bit more clearly. We did not know about this till we checked-in, having walked the whole way from the bus station.
5.4 Okay
Pros: +a girl who showed us the rooms was very nice, the onsen was good too - very authentic with two spaces and cute design. the view in lobby and in some rooms is nice too.
Cons: - stains on walls and floor in room, a bit shabby furniture - I expected it to be a new hotel as they say it's opened in 2018 but it's pretty old. Also we've almost got late for the train as the stuff didn't get that we asked them in English (using google translate to Japanese) that we need our luggage to be downstairs by certain time we didn't want to take it ourselves as there were stairs and no elevator on our floor level) and the shuttle bus should be there too. That seemed to get it but it turned out in the end they didn't. As we were a big group of people it was quite hectic. And, finally, I stayed in two other ryokan hotels in Arimaonsen and for the same price I got a nicer meal and a newer room as well.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: The hotel itself was so beautiful with an old historical bath-house feel. The grounds were lovely, the Japanese-style rooms were spacious and stylish, and the hot springs on the basement level were relaxing, clean and well-stocked with towels, lockers and amenities. The staff were also wonderfully accommodating to our needs and were unfailingly friendly and polite.
Cons: It was an uphill walk to get to the hotel from the train station, but it turns out they do have a free pick-up service from the village if you are able to call them via phone.

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.
7.9 Good
Pros: nice view, clean and spacious bath.
Cons: room slightly small for 4
9.2 Excellent
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.

9.0 Excellent
Pros: Big room. Comfortable bed. Great water pressure in the shower. Exceptional service. Free shuttle to and from station. Lovely view of the bay.
Cons: The room had a slight lingering scent of stale tobacco. Probably it has been a smoking room in years gone by, as most hotels in Japan were.
3.0 Mediocre
Pros: Very little
Cons: Very few staff could speak English The room was very tired, furniture worn and in desperate need of refurbishment The carpets and bed linen were stained The bed was hard and very uncomfortable Needed fresh air and despite the windows having the ability to be opened it required special direction from management which they eventually agreed which l understand their security concerns but my wife and l are not emotionally unstable. Reception staff refused to send me a copy of my invoice as well as a hard copy and the young inexperienced gentleman insisted that it was hotel policy not to do both, why l asked? On my departure l read the 30 year anniversary promotion poster in the lobby of the Okura family’s ingredients for their success and l could not reflect how they would be equally disappointed if they visited the hotel today as guests today!!!
8.2 Excellent
Pros: The shuttle bus really helps! And we are amazed with the kindness of reception staff who helped us to make a reservation to Ishida restaurant.
Overall the hotel is just nice.

Pros: Excellent location! Amazing staff! Room was spotless and we had an awesome view of the harbor!!
7.0 Good
Pros: View from top bar
Cons: I find it strange that as a guest you have to pay to visit the view bar, we ordered 6 drinks in total and had to pay an additional €20 to just sit there.. you also have to pay €10 to go in a super tiny pool. Not so guest friendly. This hotel is not 5* btw 3,5* would be a more realistic rating
