Hotels with Bars in Kobe

This was the kids' favorite hotel during our 15-day trip to Japan. The mountain scenery is beautiful, it's very quiet, and the air is fresh. We had a lot of fun making a fire, cooking, and having a BBQ together. The house is well-maintained, clean, refreshing, and warm enough. The staff are all very friendly and always provide timely assistance. The hotel's paid shuttle service can take you to some nearby attractions, which is also very convenient.

Second stop of our Japan trip 🚄 The hotel boasts a strong colonial American style, which gives it a unique charm compared to the many minimalist Japanese hotels. It's super convenient for shopping nearby, with plenty of places to indulge within walking distance. The minibar offers a good variety of items; not luxurious, but definitely thoughtful! Plus, most of them are complimentary. Overall, the hotel is really nice and beautiful. The only minor drawback is that the front desk on the first floor is sometimes unstaffed. However, whenever there was staff present, the experience was good. During check-in, the front desk staff's service level felt a bit lacking, and English communication was quite a struggle. But despite that, the overall stay was pleasant, and I would choose this hotel again next time I visit Kobe.

I went to Arima Onsen for the first time in 20 years. This time, I went with three family members to celebrate my mother's Kiju, but there was a hot spring in the guest room, and it was convenient and affordable to take a bath many times. The meal was very satisfying, and I was able to spend a very relaxing time until 12 o'clock ｔ. If you have a chance, this is the inn you want to go to next time.

We took an express bus from Osaka to Arima Onsen Station. Upon arrival, the hotel shuttle was conveniently waiting right next to the station to take us to the hotel. The hotel is nestled halfway up the mountain, offering a very comfortable environment. Both the outdoor and indoor public baths feature the famous Kinsen (golden) and Ginsen (silver) hot springs. The hotel service was excellent, and the breakfast spread was abundant. We also pre-booked the Japanese-style dinner, which was delicious and highly recommended.

This hotel is super close to the bus station, and right outside you're on the main hot spring street. There are convenience stores nearby too. Even though the hotel is a bit older, it's really clean overall. We had three rooms, and one of them was originally scheduled for dinner in a different restaurant than ours. Luckily, we met a front desk staff member who spoke Chinese. After a quick chat, she managed to get us all seated together, which was great! The hotel also has its own 'Golden Bath' and 'Silver Bath' hot springs, so it offers good value for money. Dinner and breakfast were traditional Japanese meals.

The hotel is not located near bus station and transportation is required to the hotel. If you cannot contact the hotel for the transfer (like our case) head on to the tourist information centre and they will help you to contact them for the transportation. Check in is strictly after 2pm, but they will offer to take your luggages to the hotel first while you explore around the Arima Onsen vicinity. Contact them again via information centre when you are ready to check in to the hotel. We were greeted by a lady that dressed up in kimono and guided us to the check in counter. The room is spacious and clean. The view is spectacular and you can hear the birds chirping here and there. The environment is totally pleasant and peaceful. The onsen is very therapeutic and our body feel rejuvenated after soaking. As we opt for room-in Kaiseki dinner, we are able to enjoy full privacy while eating the sumptuous course of dinner that serves by a friendly lady attending to us. In all, it is a great experience.

Food was great and Eri-san was very friendly and helpful. The room was really clean and love the private onsen with amazing view. I love how attentive Eri-san was as well, the timing in which the next meal came was impeccable, allowing me to enjoy the food thoroughly. Other ryokans I have stayed before (despite being more expensive), the breaks between the food served was very short and it felt like I was rushing to eat. The outdoor hotspring bath was great and perfect for people who cannot stand too high temperatures. Unfortunately, when we wanted to dip in Gekkoen's more traditional and older outdoor hotspring, it was being cleaned. Would love to try dipping in it the next time we visit again.

A heartwarming and thoughtful mountain hotel experience. This hotel stay completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I felt a deep sense of genuine hospitality – there was a dedicated shuttle service directly from the station to the hotel, saving me the hassle of dragging my luggage around. The next day, I planned to explore the hot spring town at the foot of the mountain. The hotel proactively offered to store my luggage and deliver it to the station at the bottom of the mountain at the agreed time, completely freeing up my hands. The food was surprisingly delicious, with fresh ingredients and thoughtful pairings. The room was clean and comfortable, meticulously cleaned daily, and the common areas were also spotless. The service throughout was attentive yet unobtrusive. From the shuttle arrangements to the luggage storage, everything was efficient and heartwarming. It's truly perfect for travelers planning a hot spring trip. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next visit.

This product offers good value for its price, with solid build quality and reliable performance in daily use. It meets expectations and works as intended without major issues. Overall, it’s a worthwhile purchase. If it fits your needs and budget, you can consider buying it with confidence.

The homestay is located near Xiwuzi Station. There are many foods around. Just by the sea, you can see the Akashihai Bridge. At night, the bridge is lit with lights, and the waves are heard during the day. The environment is good. The staff is also very good at serving. It is a group of young people who will help with luggage. Very lucky that night, the room was alone, otherwise it might be a bit crowded. The room will have a little taste.
