Staying at Arima Royal Hotel was a pleasant experience overall. While it's not a traditional historic onsen property, it definitely fits the modern, well-designed category with a fresh and elegant vibe. The room itself was spacious and beautifully appointed—what stood out most was the private half-outdoor hot spring tub, perfect for relaxing under the stars in the evening. Breakfast and dinner were both generous and varied, with good quality food that added to the comfort of the stay. That said, the onsen options were limited to just three types, and while they were clean and serviceable, they didn’t stand out much. The price point is on the higher side compared to other similar hotels in the area, which might make it less appealing if you're budget-conscious. Still, if you value privacy, a serene atmosphere, and a stylish retreat with excellent amenities, this place is worth considering. It’s ideal for a quiet getaway or a special treat—just be prepared to pay a premium for the experience.
This was my second stay at Arima Hot Spring Ryokan Kotori, and I’m even more impressed this time around. While the location is a bit remote, the hotel arranges complimentary shuttle service once you arrive in the Arima area—truly a thoughtful touch that makes everything seamless. The all-inclusive package with breakfast and dinner offers excellent value for money. Meals were generous in portion and exceptionally delicious, with authentic local flavors that really stood out. The rooms are spotless, quiet, and well-maintained, creating a peaceful retreat perfect for unwinding. The overall atmosphere is serene and welcoming, making it an ideal choice for a relaxing onsen getaway. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend this ryokan to anyone looking for a genuine Japanese experience with warmth and comfort.
Staying at The Gran Resort Arima was a fantastic choice for our trip to Kobe, especially since we were driving. The room was spacious by Japanese standards, and the location couldn’t be better—just a short drive from Arima Onsen town and nestled in the hills with beautiful views. Free parking is a huge plus, especially when traveling with a car. The on-site gold bath (kinyu onsen) was incredibly relaxing, and the water quality was excellent. The surrounding scenery adds to the peaceful, serene atmosphere. While breakfast isn’t included, there are plenty of great local eateries nearby, so it’s easy to grab a delicious meal. Overall, this resort offers an unbeatable mix of comfort, convenience, and value—perfect for anyone exploring Kobe by car. Would definitely stay here again.
I booked a female dorm room for four people but ended up having the whole space to myself—what a great deal! The bed is futon-style with a thin foam layer and a comfortable mattress, perfect for a good night's sleep. Upon check-in, I was handed a fresh white sheet, which added to the clean and welcoming vibe. The room comes with a full-length mirror, a small rack for luggage and personal items, and there’s also a secure locker available near the staff area if you need extra safety for valuables. Located on the second floor next to the shared kitchen, the room is quiet enough despite occasional background noise from guests cooking or working on their laptops—nothing too distracting. The kitchen is well-equipped with pans and basic seasonings, so you can make instant noodles or even do light cooking. There’s also a sink and toilet right nearby, plus hairdryers provided and a bidet-equipped toilet for added comfort. Shower facilities are on the basement level (B1F), which means you have to pass by the staff room each time—slightly inconvenient but not a major issue. Nearby is a utility room where you can wash and dry clothes, though I’m not sure if there’s a fee involved. There’s also another kitchen and TV lounge area for relaxing or socializing. Towels, bathrobes, and disposable razors are available for rent—very thoughtful touches. Overall, this place is ideal if you're just looking for a clean, affordable spot to rest, freshen up, and recharge. It’s only a 5-minute walk from Oishi Station, and there’s a peaceful little river nearby—perfect for a quiet stroll after exploring the city. Great value, friendly atmosphere, and excellent location.

The location is also convenient for getting around Kobe, with easy access to public transit. Overall, this is a fantastic choice for a relaxing and memorable stay.
This place is absolutely stunning! I highly recommend it, even though it's on the pricier side—worth every penny.

I’d definitely come back without hesitation.
