Everything exceeded my expectations. Thanks for providing yukata and geta for use when going to onsen. Location was perfect and i especially love the tatami style room

Then I arrived, I saw the sings ( to show where to go to check in) is hard to understand, especially when you pulled a laborious luggage…why don’t tell customers at beginning?

Arima onsen area is not a big town, with limited dining options. Seems overall business hours of restaurants in town are pretty tight. When checking in late night, which is another good option for this hotel, consider the dining plan.

Once stepping inside the room, i understood why their reviews are so good. Pictures on OTA don't show its charm enough. Literally a small apartment sized room with elegant-modern yet japanese style interior, compy bed, dining table with chairs and detailed amenities. Room temp can be controllable which is rare for Ryokans. A gentlemen showed us around whole facilities, asked us if we have any questions, took good time for greeting guest. It's hard to find a spacious room in Japan with limited budget, but this is exceptional. Most of all, hotel is in the center of town which is of up & down hills. Many of them. Pretty conveinient getting in and out of hotel to the hot springs and back to the room to relax. This is way better than the nearby ryokan I paid 3× more except there is no meal options.

Nothing.

Location was great, it was easy to access and the room was well set up. The foyer with the bathroom was very cold at night outside the cozy room so make sure you have some wooly socks or a warm undershirt for this. Overall, we loved our stay here.

The Japanese style room was spacious and well equipped. The check-in was super easy, and the staff were informative and friendly. The location is in the heart of Arima Onsen. Dressed in your yukata, winter jacket, and clogs (graciously supplied by the hotel), you are a few steps away from the well-known Kin no Yu Onsen and foot bath. The futons were super comfortable, too, giving you a restful nights sleep.

Nothing

It’s very decent size and close to the public bath. We booked the Tabiyu Abrigo originally but when we checked in at the Gosonboh hotel , we were given another location , (just behind the Gosonboh hotel) , have to walk up the stairs . Keyless checkin. Staff was very helpful , helped us with dinner booking ,

Nothing to dislike

Lovely welcoming staff. Room is a sort of annex to hotel so no hotel access. Much bigger than expected. Very comfortable, lovely tea, kimono, lovely furnishings, very close to the bus stop, the golden spring is steps away, quiet, cosy

Not much, enjoyed classic japanese living.

Great stay at a ryokan. Fine interior and a lot of space for 2 people. All the facilities is good and I enjoyed the home feeling. It is located near the bus stop, beside the busy street with all the tourist. During the evening it gets very quiet. The airco gave the warmth in the room. Great to have this as your base to discover the area beside Arime onsen. Would like to come back again.

Nothing, except for the wind shaking the windows.

It was spacious! We had the whole building to ourselves because it was an annex building and managed by Tocen Gobshobo.

We thought we were staying in Kobe, whereas Arima Onsen is a couple of trains away from Shin-Kobe station. My fault, I should have checked better, but in the end everything worked great

Amazing stay in the magic town of Arima Onsen, incredibly helpful staff assisted us in checking in in an amazing traditional yet modern structure. Super clean with a very large bathroom and tatami bedroom, great services provided and magic feeling of traveling back in time. Highly recommended!

Steep wooden staircase to access the room. Check in at hotel reception just near the bus stop information centre and not the address on the booking.com site. At the booking.com address Tabiyu Abrigo is a bar and only a small notice on a concrete pillar indicated that a hotel reception 150m away should be used and the room is 25m from the hotel reception. The staircase and ledges in the room need a good dusting. No meal options. Restaurants close at 6pm so plan your day.

The location was excellent. The beds and bedding were excellent and very comfortable. Very quiet. Ryokan type environment. The 2 public onsen facilities within walking distance. Very limited view from the windows. Street lights shining into the room could bother some people.

It is pretty hard to me to find the real entry of the hotel. Seem the address of hotel has been changed once. There is a note on the side of the old address, saying that you should go to another place to check in, and the real hotel is in the neither of the place. Although all those place are not too far from each other. I took a photo and uploaded as attachment. The note says you should go straight when you see the red building (on the left of the picture) and check in on the front desk of the restaurant (on the right of the picture). Hoping this gonna help a bit. The insulation of the room are not so good, that the common disadvantage of the traditional Japaness building. I think all the people booking this room should know that.

The room is pretty decent, very close to the center of the town. The front desk are really helpful. And, they offer some discount of the hot spring ticket. Please ask them before check in so you don't have to wast it.

The windows are not well shaded and there are no curtains. Even with the typhoon and heavy rain, it was still bright and somewhat disruptive to sleep.

The service staff is very enthusiastic! They helped us arrange a car to the Kobe Rokko, reducing the time we had to spend climbing the hill ourselves. The accommodations are small, cozy, and moody. Every thing is in a reasonable place. Only a 1-minute walk from Kin no yu.It is also convenient to all kinds of restaurants and stores. Please note that Arima Onsen does not really have an abundance of meals, so you can make preparations in advance.

Nothing!! we loved it here.

What a beautiful amazing experience it was to stay here. The Ryokan is situated just around the corner from Goshobo hotel up a picturesque side alleyway. We arrived early before the 3pm check in but we were welcomed by the lovely staff at the hotel's main reception, they took our bags for us so we could come back when the room was ready. The apartment is simply stunning, you get a real Japanese experience here. Everything is beautifully set out for you.the beds are so comfortable and you get to try on his and hers kimonos! that was a lovely unexpected addition which added to the whole experience. The village is so peaceful. Everything closes around 6pm even the restaurants, so prepare to eat early or bring snacks for the evenings. Location is perfect, it's a small town so everything you need is within a short walking distance. We loved our stay here, I highly recommend it and would definitely come back again to relax. This will be one of our most memorable moments from our travels in Japan.

I wasn’t aware that I have to carry my luggage up several steps - first to the apartment and then to the room. I had heavy bags. Also, didn’t like that there was no carpark and the valet service involves a carpark rather far away.

Excellent location and very nicely styled room. The room was also very spacious.
