An Excellent Experience

This is a good hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. The pickup service is excellent and they come within 10 min after a phone call. The only one point I don’t quite like is diner not at the same building, but 1 min walk to other building. Otherwise, it is an excellent stay.

Nice and quaint ryokan with free shuttle service. The tourist information centre can help to contact them for you when you arrive. We booked the only room with an outdoor onsen and bathroom as we were travelling with a toddler. All other rooms don’t have any private toilets. Dinner was amazing and served at sister ryokan 5 minutes walk away. Breakfast was served downstairs. The staff were always smiling and ready to help. Very friendly and welcoming ambiance. Only complaints — room aircon, air purifier/humidifier and fridge were quite noisy throughout the night; some stains on the pillow case; toilet wasn’t well ventilated.

A nice option for a ryokan stay in Arima-Onsen. The ryokan is very nice, the lobby itself is decorated in western style although the rooms are tatami. Kotori has an private indoor bath with a silver onsen, the gold onsen is a public bath located on the roof level at Hanamusubi, their sister hotel down the street and is free to use for Kotori guests. Dinner and breakfast were both traditional Japanese style meals and were very impressively presented and delicious. Dinner is served at Hanamusubi and breakfast is served at Kotori. The local main street and its shops are also a short walk away. The town of Arima Onsen is a bit hilly, but if that is an issue for you then Kotori offers pickup by car from the local train or bus stations. Highly recommended if you are looking for an ryokan & onsen experience in Arima Onsen!

⚫︎夕食や入浴するにあたって、別の施設へ移動しないといけないのは実際のところ不便に感じましたが、その分値段が手頃なのでやむなしと理解しております。 ⚫︎いずれの施設も清潔に保たれておりますが、特に水回りがとても清潔で、とても気持ちよく過ごせた要因の一つと感じます。 ⚫︎大人向けの料理は質・量共によかったです。一方子供向けは値段の割には質がイマイチでした。具材やメニューを改善された方が良いように思いました。 ⚫︎朝食時、子供用に「とんすい（呑水）」を追加でお願いしましたが、「とんすい（呑水）」という言葉を知らないようで聞き返されました。ご自分のところで使う食器くらいは覚えておいてもらいたいところです。

このお宿は全8室で、各部屋に小鳥の名前がつけられています。「めじろ」のお部屋に宿泊したのですが、お部屋はモダンな和室でとても綺麗で新しい感じがしました。 お部屋にはバス・トイレはついていませんが、共用トイレと貸切風呂（銀泉）が利用できます。また徒歩1.2分で本館の大浴場が無料で利用でき、夕食もそちらでいただきました。 温泉もお食事も大満足・満喫できました！ また、貸切風呂は4-5人の洗い場があり、お風呂も十分な広さで、とても贅沢な気分になりました。お宿の紹介写真に是非貸切風呂の写真もあげていただくと人気がでるのでは、と思います。 立地は有馬中心街から徒歩8分ほど離れますが、街並みをそぞろ歩きしながら楽しんでお宿に向かえたのでとても便利でした。

非常滿意，工作人員非常有禮貌，殷勤。酒店旁設有3個泊車位，應該是先到先得形式，我們週一晚過夜，連我們只泊了兩車(房全滿)。 晚飯在1分鐘步距的姊妹店(花結)，前菜4小盤連刺身，日式野菜油甘魚片shabushabu，主菜西式魚肉大根湯，奶油燉梨，燒和牛三片，美中不足甜品蔗糖布丁太膩了，改sorbet比較配合。但是服務用餐的穿和服小姐都很漂亮彌補了這小缺憾(笑)。 溫泉方面可以隨意用花結店的，本店要預約，因為只有2間，「琴」和「鈴」。本店的溫泉和共用衛生間都很乾淨簇新，而且各房間都自己有梳洗面盤和水龍頭，不會不方便。 早餐的豆腐乳湯不錯，很四平八穩的日式早飯形式。 最後提醒大家可以到花結店大堂免費添加6款式的枕頭(有小童款)，只要選擇後跟人員說酒店跟房號就可以，非常用心和特別。
