I had a delightful stay at the hotel, especially enjoying the beautiful Kobe beef dinner in the room. The rooms were cozy, albeit a bit small, but having a private onsen added a special touch. The service was average but still satisfactory.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel in Arima. The rooms were cozy and perfect for enjoying a delicious dinner in-room. While the private onsen was a highlight, the service was just average. The hotel is ideal for a two-night stay, especially considering the yummy dinner, except for the Kobe beef.
