The changed hotel was absolutely stunning beautiful view. For us is more like a suprise upgrade. Golden Hot springs sources, no need go village centre queue for Soaking in Golden Hot Springs, morning and evening is the best view you can see Kobe Dock and Arima village, also good for taking pic and time lapse in your room.

That day Hotel was renovating, they let us change to another hotel which it not far away, The Grand Resort Princess Arima. Is another 15min uphill walk, tired but still worth it. Hotel restaurant dinner is booked by reservation, no walk in....we solved our dinner by walking down to the Arima Station nearby, less restaurants open many are Reservations basics and close early like 8pm. And is long way walk up back, even we cross some shortcuts that really very creepy during night time, street light are less and very dark environments.

I liked that the hotel has a nice view and is relaxing since it is almost on top of a mountain. There were plenty of amenities inside the room. The only thing is it doesn't have a dinner plan, and breakfast ends very early. The breakfast menu is a buffet and a lot of Japanese dishes. If you call the hotel and ask for a way there, they will help you get to the hotel in their bus.

They forgot the tie of the yukata one day of my stay but it was not a big deal.

Good location. Well priced. Of note: There is WiFi and there is an onsite onsen bath. Hot Mineral, Hotter Clear and a Cold. Also a sauna.

Some light mould in the toilet room. The doors are quite patched up and could do with proper repair.

It is a Japanese tatami concept Accomondation. Unique and interesting. No bathroom and have onsen on the top floor

Reception not running 24 hr per day. Hard to keep luggage in advance.

Clean and very Japanese

Is a little too far

lack of dining options

It is first time that I made my Futon by my self. I am not Japanese ,so how did I know about lay it down properly.
