"This was my first time visiting Kinosaki Onsen, and I chose Kawaguchiya Kinosaki Riverside Hotel. There's a free shuttle bus from right outside the train station to the hotel, which was super convenient. The hotel also offers a shuttle bus service to the various onsen around town, and they provide a timetable. The hotel has a charming, old-fashioned decor. The lobby even has a gift shop where you can buy souvenirs. After checking in, each guest can pick a different yukata to wear both in the hotel and for onsen hopping. Plus, the hotel package already included the cost for visiting the public onsen. Our room had both hot and cold water available. We opted for the package with dinner and breakfast. The dinner was decent; it consisted of local vegetables, sashimi, a Tajima beef hot pot roll, grilled fish, and kamameshi. The portions were just right. Breakfast was also Japanese-style, with grilled fish and pickles. After checking out, the hotel can arrange for your luggage to be sent to a pick-up point near the station; I think it was around 200 yen per piece (can't quite remember). We visited in May, which might not be peak season, as there were very few tourists, and the streets were quiet for walking. Just a heads-up, when going onsen hopping, make sure to check the timetable, as two of the onsen were closed on the day I went."
