We have booked luxury Japanese room with private open-air hot spring bath for a day. The room is very nice, you can experience how comfortable of the traditional Japanese style tatami. Also, the dinner and breakfast are delicious, you can choose 3-4 time slot to enjoy room service from Arima Onsen. The most important is we can enjoy our private open air hot spring bath anytime, it was awesome you can relax and breath fresh air from a small garden. A small accident happened during we leave Arima Onsen, we found we lost our scarf and wristband when we back Osaka already. Arima Onsen helped us to keep our stuffs and sent back it to our countries, we are so thankful for their kind assistance.

Got a room with dinner and breakfast. It was like "Japan Hour". The effort and details that went into the preparation of our meals was impressive. There was so much food served in our room for dinner that my group took almost 2 hours to eat everything. Breakfast was also a feast for the eyes! One member of my group went for the hot bath in the hotel and really enjoyed it. Overall, a unique, enjoyable experience.

Ryokan Arima Gyoen is located in the centre of Arima-onsen town. It is very convenient in visiting the town and the sights around the town. We checked into the Japanese Style room, which comes with breakfast and dinner. Entering the room, we were greeted with the front porch, where we took off our shoes. It is customary for guests to take their shoes off when entering a Japanese style room in the hotel. This area is small but functional. There is a shoe rack tucked by the wall, where the staff helped us placed our shoes inside. We wore the slippers that the hotel provides while going to the Onsen in the hotel. The futon closet is found in this part of the room, where such as the futons and blankets are stored in. As with Japanese style rooms, staffs will come into the room and lay the beddings in the evening. A little further from the porch is where the bathroom is located. The bathroom is rather small, as with most Japanese Hotel standards. Despite its small size, the bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, a sink and a toilet bowl. The standard amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand soap are placed neatly on the sink countertop. However, no toothbrushes are being provided. There is a rack for hanging towels outside the bathroom. A wooden sliding door separates the porch from the sleeping area. The main part of the room doubles up as a lounge area in the day and a sleeping area in the night. To the left from the sliding door, a small table top where the TV and phone are being placed on. There is a 2-panel cabinet at the bottom of this table top. This area is where the hot flask is also located. I find the placement of the TV here a tad off as we were not able to watch the TV when the futons are being laid on the tatami mats. Tucked by the wall along the length of the room until the balcony area is the tokonoma or an alcove where a vase and a painting is placed on to. Between the TV console and the tokonoma is a small area which has sufficient space for us to stow our luggage. As it was still daytime at the time of our checking in, there is 2 knee height coffee table placed in the centre of the sleeping area. 2 legless chairs are being placed on either side of the tables. There are the tea set and snacks placed on this table at the time of our arrival. The sleep quality on the futons is superb. We were able to get a good night sleep on these futons. The pillows are not too soft for my liking. Furthest away from the entrance to the room is a small area. There is another wooden sliding door that separates this area from the sleeping area. Here is where we find a small bar fridge and a couple of armchairs, together with a small coffee table. The closet in the room is also placed here, where we found yukatas as well as the towels. A safe box is hidden inside this closet. A glass door separates this lounge area from the balcony. Ryokan Arima Gyoen has its own onsen, though not very big. Located on the 7th floor, the onsen is in the main building. The onsen is separated by sex and has a small Kinsen and a large Ginsen in the enclosed space. There is an outdoor Ginsen next to the changing room. The changing room has amenities such as body lotion, shavers, combs and cotton buds. The Japanese dinner was served in our room where the staff would show up at the arranged time to set up for dinner. The dinner consists of multiple courses that included sashimi, hot pot and rice to name a few. Breakfast was served in the dining rooms in the annexe building. The breakfast served was Japanese style where we were given rice with fish to grill on amongst other food. I am not very used to the Japanese style breakfast, despite they are delicious. The service in the hotel is superb. We experienced Japanese hospitality throughout our stay in the hotel. Staffs welcomed us the moment we step into the hotel. The hotel has strict check-in timing hence we were not able to check-in early. However, the staff was happy to look after our luggage while we explored Arima-onsen. The staffs were always wearing their smiles whenever we walk past them or approach them. When we returned later in the afternoon to get our keys, we were surprised that our luggage has already been placed in our room. The staffs were very attentive and would somehow know when to appear, especially during meal time. During dinner, the staff would appear on the dot as we were finishing up our meal and present the next course. After the meal, the staff promptly moved everything to one side and set up the futons in under 10 mins. During breakfast, the staff would sit by the side after bringing us to our table and noticed that our rice bowls were empty and offered to top up the rice without us even asking. Even the cleaning staff in the public area smile and greeted us whenever we bumped into them. The staff at the lobby even gave us sound advice on what to see in Arima-onsen and were never stingy in offering information. Ryokan Arima Gyoen is located in the centre of town and is a good base to explore Arima-onsen. The room is very well laid out and the sleep quality is very good on the futons. The service we had received at the hotel is nothing short of excellence, every staff in the hotel made us feel welcome. I would come back here to stay the next time I visit Arima-onsen.

A perfect stay overall! Ms Tanaka of Reservation was extremely helpful and considerate to arrange our booking. The service and quality of food for In-room dining, for both breakfast and dinner are outstanding. The in-house 'Gold' and 'Silver' hot springs are unforgettable. I particular impressed the ladies who stand-by on the floor and assisted us to hand-carry our heavy luggage to the ground floor (no lift service due to the earthquake). The bus service we booked was canceled and female staff at Reception was so responsive to offer us alterate route to Kobe. A really great hotel that I highly recommend to couples and families!

Typical Japanese Onsen Hotel, Staff are very friendly and helpful. I had the dinner set brought to my room and the staff just keep working on it non stop. Breakfast was at the dinning hall, it's a set breakfast and the staff will non stop work on your breakfast too. Staff very hard working and friendly. Onsen was very relaxing and very clean. You should get the package with the dinner and breakfast set. Kobe beef was great, so many items for the dinner and breakfast. Do not sleep in and miss the breakfast, the breakfast will be prepared and will be wasted if you skip it.
