Taketoritei Maruyama is a non-smoking Japanese-style accommodation featuring natural hot spring baths for private use and free Wi-Fi throughout the property. From its hilltop location a 15-minute walk from Kobe Electric Railway Arima Onsen Station, it offers sweeping views of Arima Onsen.

The staff was very friendly and accomodating. The hotel was spotless and with a premium feel. Yukatas have been included with all the necessary toiletries, and the open air bath was spot on. Also free reservations of the hotel's private baths are available, even if you have a bath in your room. Some drinks were provided free of charge (coffee, tea, beers, juice, etc...), and a platter of fruits, too (seasonal). We had western style beds, but we opted to sleep on tatami beds, it was an interesting experience. They offer free shuttle service both to the train station and to reataurants, which is very welcome given the location on the hill.

Offering stylish rooms with shoji paper screens and Western beds, Hotel Hanakoyado is only a 6-minute walk from Arima Onsen Train Station. It features hot-spring baths and a massage service.

The air-conditioned rooms at Hanakoyado Hotel include a fridge and tea maker. Each has an attached toilet, and bathing facilities are shared.

The staff is nice, very polite, friendly and helpful. We had arrived before check in time, she gave us free tickets for the Toys museum to use time in there. She had introduced about the facilities in this hotel and regulations. For private onsen, we are fall in love with Ginsen that is the best onsen. We can used the Onsen in Goshoboh for free before 8pm but we had already went there before went to Hotel Hanakoyado.

Standing beside the Taki River, it features outdoor hot-spring baths and traditional in-room meals and is a 5-minute walk from Arima Onsen Train Station.

All the meals (breakfast and dinner) were great!!! Kaiseki dinners were delicious and the menu changes if you stay more than one night. Location of the ryokan is centrally located in the town.

    Our family (2 adults + 1 8-year old child) really enjoyed our stay here. We had the 3 beds-in-a-room option which was fantastic. Lots of room- especially noticeable as we'd just travelled from Tokyo where the rooms are a lot smaller. The location was great- right near the Sannomiya train station, and walking distance to many restaurants, shops, sights, etc. The room was very clean and tidy. Handy to have clean laundry facilities on site too.

    Greeted by friendly, competent, English-speaking staff that gave us lots of recommendations for the area. The room was cozy, well-desighed, super clean. And we really enjoyed the harbor area and children's mall (not just for kids!) a short walk away. Kobe is really cool! And were able to get to the area of this hotel easily & cheaply from Osaka on the regional rail.

The hotel premises was massive! Such an amazing view too no matte which hotel room you get. It really made our Kobe stay memorable.

    Spacious room for a family of 2 adults and a 7yo. A triple-sharing room had a decent extra bed that was not a sofa bed. The room was clean and bath amenities were generously provided. Location was great as it was within walking distance to Motomachi station and Harborland. Parking was also affordable at ¥1000/day for guests. Service staff were always warm and helpful. Overall a lovely stay at a reputable hotel.

    This stay was a highlight of our 3 week trip to Japan. As a clueless British family we were quite nervous about trying the onsen experience which seemed to have a lot of rules. But we were made to feel so welcome by the wonderful, welcoming staff at this family-friendly hotel. We had such a lovely stay and enjoyed every minute.

    Excellent value hotel. Great location close to train station, places to eat and multiple supermarkets (sushi train next door was handy too). Good breakfast buffet and lovely staff who didn't mind us going in to the breakfast room with energetic small children to get coffee at 6am! Were also happy for us to eat breakfast a little early. Room was bigger than expected and good sized beds for sharing with kids. We find the comfort chain consistently great value for money, will stay again.
