Merveille Arima

We visited Arima Onsen in Golden Week (by accident!). So both hotel and the town itself were super busy. We were probably the only ‘westerners’ in the hotel. This is v much a Japanese hotel. Only a handful of the signs were in English and none of the staff could speak any English. Breakfast was a feast for the Japanese and rather pathetic excuse for a breakfast if you didn’t want to eat fish and other traditional Japanese breakfast foods. Non Japanese breakfast was some packaged croissants, sweet yoghurts, tinned fruit. There was ham sausages and Japanese omelette but we are vegetarian so coukd only eat the egg. The onsen, which I guess is what made the rooms so expensive, is not huge and I was the only non Japanese person in there w no instructions in English (luckily I’d been to one before so knew the score). The hotel is a bit shabby and dated but it’s v central to the town and the rooms are spacious, but the beds are very hard! A v disappointing and expensive stay.

This place is perfectly nestled right behind the railway station (2mins up hill). Inside the hotel it is a little dated in the rooms but you won’t be spending much time there anyways! They offered both an outdoor onsen and an indoor onsen-sauna area with generous opening hours. It let me explore the surrounding area until late in the evening because I knew the onsen facilities would still be open and available! They have a free beverages inside the hotel alongside a few vending machines, but they’re also just 2 minutes away from a family mart. The breakfast included was quite nice! Good variety of foods with some unique offerings like steam your personal size tofu and grill your own personal portion of fish! Overall, I highly enjoyed my stay and would recommend this stay!

Nice property, clean, a bit old but authentic.

Good food. Stuff there are very nice and helpful.

Perfect hotel. Location was next to the train station which is a must in this hilly town. Property nice and clean. Food was excellent. Kaiseki dinner with meat was tasty and filling. Breakfast was very good. Unfortunately the outdoor onsen was closed. Indoor onsen was large and had a variety of pools. Overall a memorable stay and I highly recommend this hotel.

Close to the Main Street and station. Convenient is an advantage. Nice food. Friendly staff. The facilities are quite old but tidy and clean.

Check in was quick and staff was friendly. The room was clean. My only complaint would be the noise. The walls were thin and I could hear the people talking in the next room. The towels in the bathroom were a bit small, as well. Everything else was good.

Good value for money for a hotel with both indoor and outdoor baths. The location is very central and near to the train station.

Hotel is old but really close to train station. Give me a room with very strong smoking smell first. Then i ask stuff to change a none smoking after.

Clean and comfortable hotel. Spacious room and very good onsens. Just 3 or 5 minutes walk from train and and espress bus station.

SMALL CITY BUT VERY CHARMING . BEST LOCATION TO BE REST WITH NATURAL PLACE . YOU CAN BREATH WITH NATURAL OZONE

It was a simple one night stay to check out the place and enjoy a bit of me-time. The only thing I am not happy about was the fact I need to pay 150 yen for the use of the onsen which should have been complimentary for hotel guests. Yes the amount is small but the shock of being presented with a bill at the end of the stay when it is not expected is not welcomed.

Good. If you travel by train, it is very near.

The hotel is just next to the Arima onsen station. You could found some convenient store and restaurants nearby! Enjoy the hot spring (onsen) in the hotel!

It's good for stay at this hotel, good location nearby station, good view

It was a good place for the price. Doesn't have as many amenities as some of the other hotels, however, the others costs a heck of a lot more money. The staff was very friendly and accomodating (except late check out is not allowed without a fee). The hot springs/ bathing area is nothing big, but is good. Rooms do not have wifi. Only available in the lobby. Besides that, there really isn't much else the hotel offers.
