KAMENOI HOTEL ARIMA

Perfect quiet onsen resort to unwind and relax. The kaiseki dinner was a highlight and buffet breakfast offered a great variety. Onsen is not too big, not crowded during our stay but probably will if it gets busy. The room was a decent size with good air conditioning and being away from the busy streets made for a peaceful stay. The only downside was the bathtub leaked whenever we showered. Free parking is available, though it’s located underneath the property so it’s best to drop off your bags first if you have a lot of luggage.

Nice onsen ryokan with recently refurbished facilities Staff are polite The onsen is a bit smal

highest location, food are nice, only a bit old style, but still ok

Hotel service was good. Dinner and breakfast was provided as part of the stay. Food was good for the stay since there are not much options for food at Arima. Most shops are closed by afternoon. Though the hotel is old but it’s renovated (except for the old wooden cupboard) which made the stay more pleasant. Onsen is indoor and small so will need to go at hours with lesser people.

Very good if you book under private Onsen really very good. Dinner and breakfast also very good and value for money. Staffs very helpful.

The Onsen inside the room is too small.  It’s better to include the balcony as part of the Onsen. For our room type, some drinks should be included but only coffee and tea bags available like normal room.  The refrigerator is totally empty. We even needed to pick up our bathrobe by ourselves. Again this should not be the standard for our room type.  But all the staff are very nice and pick up service is good.

Food quality and choices are fantastic. Staff service is very good and can communicate well in English. One minor drawback is that the spa pool is too small for too many hotel guests. I am disappointed that there is no spa pool outdoor.

We enjoyed our stay here. The hike up the mountain was not unpleasant. The onsen was amazing
