Reviews of Arima Kirari

Old TV and old rooms, a bit peak of Onsen with bad smell. Dinner and breakfast is acceptable.

:) Thankful for the hotel shuttle service as the hotel is located after a really steep slope. Both onsen in hotel and the next building are good and clean. :( Amenities didn't include facial cleanser and milk lotion. The pillows are too hard for me. The dinner plate arrangement setting appears to be dated - some of the food containers are old/ worn out with visible scratches on the surface. The menu is in Japanese wordings - will be good to provide English version.

This stay was in a Japanese-style room. The layout was conventional, not very spacious, and a bit dated, but the cleanliness was good. The hotel's two elevators are quite small, leading to long waits during peak hours, which is inefficient. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious and noteworthy. The bathhouse is divided into public and guest-only sections: the public bath on the 2nd-3rd floors doesn't provide towels but has lockers; the guest-only bath on the GF floor offers hand towels but no lockers, so it's advisable not to bring valuables. Overall, the experience was decent. The hotel's hillside location makes walking a bit inconvenient, but they offer a shuttle service to the station! You can call the front desk to book it!

This is the first time visited Arima Osen. The experience was great. The location of this hotel is ok. If you go to the Main Street from hotel it takes around 5mins. But the pathway is a bit beveled. Other than that, the onsen in hotel were really good. You can try different kinds of onsen. I enjoyed the public bath! The staff were nice too.

Location is on the hill, but the free shuttle bus makes getting to the hotel fairly easy. Hotel provides free access to the famous hot spring (Taikou-no-Yu Onsen). Breakfast is good and dinner is very delicious.

Quite good

Accommodation is super convenient- comes with different types of sauna and onsen, and restaurants inside the hotel! The staff will set up futon in our room- affordable option for those who are looking for a ryokan experience. We also love the hotel breakfast! Feels v well nourished after that, esp after soaking in the onsen :) we also love the matcha senbei crackers that the hotel gave us and bought them at the souvenir store too. Highly recommend!

Love the onsen from public to hotel private bath. Room were good , enjoyed the room ,food and onsen bath. Peaceful environment, have a van to pick and send us to the bus stop. Friendly staff. Thanks

Prefer memory for families ! The food was amazing and the facilities was great, a lot of fun we had !

I went on foot to the hotel and was difficult uphill slope. So not recommend for the location.The front clerks were bad attitude with foreigner and not willing to help us. Hotel plan were so complicated to go around, onsens were not that great. Dinner kaiseki were a little choices and small portion. Overall I won't go back again if I have to.

Its a nice hotel with two different style of hotsprings. I like the outdoor hotspring the best.

Comfortable, Japanese style room with recent renovation. The arch is a bit of space wasting though as it which makes the room even more smaller. It will be great if this hotel comes with private onsen for those who are uncomfortable with the public ones. Hot springs are superb , the "Kinsen" hot spring and adjacent "Taiko no Yu" hot spring. Highly recommended. Food are exquisitely made. Visually beautiful and delicious.

The hotel has an overall old and dated feel, and many of the facilities are showing signs of age. The bedding was clean, though we did notice one or two small bugs, possibly due to the hotel being close to the forest. The Yukata were also quite worn. The night-shift front desk staff seemed to have some difficulty with English, as we were still directed to the wrong floor for dinner even after confirming. However , the dinner it’s definitely nice and fine dining , fresh and tasty . The WiFi connection was not very strong.

Right next to the onsen complex which has more than five types of onsen and sauna. The onsen itself is a tourist spot worth visiting. The room is newly renovated and clean.
