Kobe Horaikyo Hotels

"The hotel is nicely decorated. Our indoor hot spring bath is nicely arranged. Dinner was delicious. Certainly, few more or a larger piece of wagyu beef will be great. Breakfast has lots of variety. "

"The spa was outstanding. The Japanese breakfast was the best meal we have ever eaten in a hotel Staff were most friendly and polite!"

"Amazing stay! Hotel staff very communicative, the ryokan room was beautiful and the private onsen was sooooo nice. Breakfast in the ryokan was delicious too! There is a shuttle bus that can take you to the main area as the ryokan is up a steep slope. "

"We love the Arima Onsen Hanano Ryokan. They picked us up at the train station and even carried our bags up to store our luggage. Yes, getting to the inn meant climbing up some stairs. This might be a problem for some people with mobility issues. But the climb was all worth it because the service was impeccable, the hotel was exceptionally clean and the room was spacious. For such a minimalistic inn, it has everything we needed and more. This inn is traditionally Japanese with modern facilities. It is fully renovated and tastefully adorned with ikebana flower arrangements. Our Kaiseki meal was very good and healthy. Our main dish was Kobe Beef which we cooked on a small grill ourselves. It was of very good quality, probably A5 grade. Our breakfast was also healthy. We had a private onsen in our room so we enjoyed soaking in it even more. We also tried the hotel's public onsen and it was also awesome. I am glad I chose this type of accomodation. It was one true onsen experience. There is only one issue, the staff barely spoke English. We could not understand them very well so there were some things that we were unclear. We missed wearing the Yukata for most of our stay because it was not explained very well what should be done or where we can wear it. Other than that, everything was perfect. If you want true Japanese onsen and kaiseki experience at a ryokan, then this type of accomodation is for you. If not, then you can book at the big hotels in the area."

"Beautiful hotel, very clean and comfortable "

"エアコンが効かなかったので暑かったです。"

"The staff were friendly and very accommodating. The English speaking ladies were kind and patient with all of us. One was able to reserve a van to take us back to Shin-Osaka, with all of our luggage. Plus…the view of the river, in the traditional tatami room was beautiful. "

"Great stay! "

"Takarazuka Hotel looks like an estate in Europe, fitting in with the Takarazuka atmosphere. I loved just being in the hotel no matter what I was doing. The breakfast buffet was lovely."
