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.
