KAMENOI HOTEL ARIMA Reviews

Food is very good, room is big enough, but a bit walk to the town centre, and they have free ramen from 9-10:30 It’s really tasty. Overall it’s great and price are reasonable

This is an old onsen hotel, while it is clean, the facilities are aged. Onsen is indoor, if you think of having a nice relaxing onsen bath with good environment, this is not your place. It just provided you with soaking in hot natural spring, that's all. If you can't speak Japanese, avoid this hotel. There is an English spoken staff at reception but she is not there often. At time of visit, 17/4/24, temp is turning warm in day hours, centralized air conditioning was still under heater mode until 25/4/2024, the room was very hot although outside temperature was about 22-24C and we opened all windows. They had provided us a mobile fan that we turned it on even at night with outside temperature about 12-17C because ventilation was not good. The Tatami beds are just 2 layers of mattress of 1 inch each. Shuttle bus service from hotel to bus station can only be provided during check in and check out. Dinner in Kaiseki style was good, but portion was small. Service was very good. I saw other tables are served with different variety of food, but there were no options for us to choose during hotel booking. Breakfast spread was below expectation, I can't understand why many reviews commented good breakfast variety. Hotel also provide Fukata for free to wear at hotel, which is a very good experience to us. Anyway, when this review is posted, the hotel will just response with "thank you, noted" as standard response, as you may observe in other reviews.

The room is very small, and no bathroom. The food is a bit disappointing.

The overall experience was very pleasant. Environment was nice. Staffs were helpful and easy to communicate. Lots of parking space. Dinner and breakfast were nice. The onsen were also nice. We will definitely coming back.

wonderful hot spring experience, delicious dinner. only public hot spring pool is reserved, no private one.

Very nice hotel

Very traditional onsen hotel. The onsen is good and the dinner is also great.

I really like the Japanese style room!! However, there were no shower facilities at all, so I washed in the large public bath. Kaiseki is so-so, but the portion size is a bit disappointing. It's better because the breakfast is buffet style! The room was spacious and nice, but the shower was disappointing. The large public bathhouse hot spring was good, but the facilities were a bit outdated. The location is much closer to the cable car. It's a short walk from Arima Onsen Station. If you get tired, call the shuttle.

The hotel is relatively old; the portions of the food are relatively small and the taste is so-so. Maybe I am not used to Kaiseki cuisine, and the more surprising thing is the late-night ramen; the hot spring has only one pool, and the whole thing is numb. If I have the chance, I will try it again. Without Ma, this hotel would not be my first choice.

Bring your parents to stay, the hotel includes one night and two meals, eat Kobe beef, soak in hot springs ♨️, the hot springs are relatively simple, one kind is golden hot spring, the hotel is basically Japanese, you can communicate in English, breakfast and dinner are very rich

The room is large and Japanese style. Breakfast is a Chinese and Western buffet, and dinner is Japanese Kaiseki cuisine. The taste is unique. The only drawback is that it is on a mountain. If you are tired walking uphill, you must contact the hotel and drive up the mountain. You can buy good things at the foot of the mountain. There are no stores near the hotel, the hot spring is a golden hot spring, and there are not many people. It belongs to a more practical Japanese chain hotel.

Except that I knew there was no open-air bath, so it was a shame. Kaiseki was a lot more sloppy than I thought. It's a shame that there is only one bath in the main bath. The location was very nice as it was quiet and quiet.

The room is very clean, the set menu is good, and the service is attentive. There is also a late night snack (ramen). The soup is also very comfortable, but the bathing area in the soup is a bit old.

I stayed for two nights and didn’t meet anyone who spoke Mandarin or Cantonese. They were all Japanese, mainly senior citizens and family travelers. The hotel service is okay. There are only two people at the front desk who can speak English. There is a shuttle bus to and from the town, cable car station and bus station. Call to make an appoin**ent. It will arrive in five to ten minutes. The food for dinner is very good, different for two days. The breakfast buffet has a lot of choices. The service in the restaurant is very good, but I can only speak Japanese. You can wear traditional Japanese clothes when you go to eat and soak in the hot springs. It is very convenient and comfortable, and you don’t need to rent a Japanese style photo😄 The room has a traditional Japanese style. It is quite old but very clean. In winter, the windows are not very tight and there will be a cold draft. You have to turn on the heating all the time. It is very dry. The hot spring is a golden hot spring. It is salty. My skin is very good after soaking. The walls inside look a bit dirty. It should be water stains from the hot spring. There is no open-air hot spring, just a big pool. The location is close to the Arima cable car station. It's a five-minute walk. You can take the cable car directly to Mount Rokko. The scenery is beautiful. It's boring to go to the ranch. This price is good value for money. It is suitable for families who do not have high requirements for hot spring environment and want to experience a Japanese-style room.
