"We love the Arima Onsen Hanano Ryokan. They picked us up at the train station and even carried our bags up to store our luggage. Yes, getting to the inn meant climbing up some stairs. This might be a problem for some people with mobility issues. But the climb was all worth it because the service was impeccable, the hotel was exceptionally clean and the room was spacious. For such a minimalistic inn, it has everything we needed and more. This inn is traditionally Japanese with modern facilities. It is fully renovated and tastefully adorned with ikebana flower arrangements. Our Kaiseki meal was very good and healthy. Our main dish was Kobe Beef which we cooked on a small grill ourselves. It was of very good quality, probably A5 grade. Our breakfast was also healthy. We had a private onsen in our room so we enjoyed soaking in it even more. We also tried the hotel's public onsen and it was also awesome. I am glad I chose this type of accomodation. It was one true onsen experience. There is only one issue, the staff barely spoke English. We could not understand them very well so there were some things that we were unclear. We missed wearing the Yukata for most of our stay because it was not explained very well what should be done or where we can wear it. Other than that, everything was perfect. If you want true Japanese onsen and kaiseki experience at a ryokan, then this type of accomodation is for you. If not, then you can book at the big hotels in the area."

"Staff was amazing and friendly! The town had so much to offer for a mini trip away! "

"Great experience! Impressed by the facility and services by the staffs. We arrived Arima Onsen by bus, I happen to saw the hotel bus was outside, and the staff was so pleasant to pick us up. By the way, bus station and nearby tourist information center all provides free call service for you to request hotel pick up. During our 2 days stay, we used hotel’s free shuttle service to town and to the Rokko Ropeway. Really impressed by staffs great help! Breakfast was very generous. They delivered the whole set to our room. Free drink at the lobby all day. Laundry facilities is very clean! I booked premium Japanese room. Only to find out that my 80+ mom had hard time to get down and up. The front desk staff help me to switch to a Japanese & western room. The room is very good size in Japanese term. Clean and comfortable. I do not need room cleaning the next day, but the staffs still provide us with a new Yukata and new water bottle. The best of all, is the onsen. This hotel has 8 private onsen, with the famous silver and gold hot spring. Clean and good size, with green hill view. My mom’s shoulder pain is relieved after soaking. Magical spring!"

"Beautiful hotel, very clean and comfortable "

"This was my second staying in Arima Princess , i love this hotel, Everything were great,breakfast, room, parking, staff and amazing onsen. Will go again definitely."

"Excellent hotel. Thank you."

"Its a typical traditional onsen ryokan with exceptionally focus on customer service. Only gripe would be you either need a local number or go to the tourist center to request for shuttle service"

"I like the onsen "

"Must be in the room by 2330 or be locked out for the night (i.e. you can never leave) despite a pizza joint 5 minures walk away ipen until 0000 as well as 24 hour Lawson and 7-11. Otherwise this is great value for your monies."
