Like the quaint yet very elaborate ryokan style of living. The onsen may not be as big and fancy as in noboribetsu but it is still comfortable. I subscribed to their dinner and breakfast which was pretty good. I definitely live the wooden bathtub in my room. They have shuttle services to and from Arima Onsen region. The only complain I have is the weak wifi.
A family of three, we were extremely happy with this hotel during our trip to Japan 🏨. The public bath was great, and not too crowded. But the absolute highlight was breakfast – the service was top-notch and the selection was amazing. We got to try all sorts of local specialties, and the bread was incredibly delicious. You could tell they put a lot of effort into making breakfast special. The room was spacious enough to open two suitcases, which was a bonus, and it was quiet with good soundproofing. Plus, it's really close to Ikuta Shrine ⛩️.
First time staying at a Dormy hotel inn and super impressed with the level of hospitality for the price!
1. Public onsen and sauna are available on the top floor. Gender segregated with both indoor and outdoor (rotenburo) sections and the usual amenities. Only the sauna is closed overnight, the onsen remains open. Washing machine and dryer are available on 12F too. The washing machine is free, the dryer is not.
2. Free refreshment once you're done with your onsen. Ice cream at night and probiotic drink in the morning.
3. Free serving of ramen (yonakisoba) at night from 21:30-23:00. Head over to the restaurant at 2F.
4. Breakfast buffet is available and it was honestly quite decent for the price.
Would stay at Dormy again if I return to Japan 😊
This Japanese hotel is truly impressive! The service is meticulous and attentive, and the rooms are clean, cozy, and equipped with modern facilities. The location is convenient, yet quiet and safe. The Japanese breakfast is exquisite and delicious, and the staff are warm and professional. It was a very comfortable and pleasant stay, highly recommended!
This is a highly recommended hot spring hotel. The rooms are spacious and tidy, with elegant decor and a strong Japanese ambiance that allows you to completely relax. I particularly loved their open-air hot spring, which offers expansive views where you can soak while enjoying the natural scenery – it's incredibly healing. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the breakfast is delicious and varied. The overall experience was excellent; I will definitely stay here again next time.

It was worth the trip~~!!!
Although it is on the mountain, there is a car to take you to the town at the foot of the mountain.
You can make an appointment for a private bath every hour, but there is actually no one in the public bath~
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all very rich and impeccable~ You can also experience Yukata and tatami.
There is a service staff who works in Taiwan and helped us translate throughout the whole process. Very nice and took care of us.
Very suitable for children~ You can go to the official website to check it out. The various children's facilities are amazing! ! ! The children had a lot of fun.
I've heard a lot about Livemax, so I decided to try it out this time. The location is excellent, right next to the station and very close to Himeji Castle. There are plenty of dining and drinking options nearby, which is very convenient. The service was very thoughtful, explaining everything in great detail. The facilities are typical of a Japanese hotel – small but well-equipped. However, the double room and single room are virtually identical in size, making it a bit cramped for two. Overall, it was a great experience, and a good choice for a short overnight stay.

An excellent hotel offering superb value for money. It's conveniently located very close to the station, and the front desk service was also great. Check-in strictly begins at 3 PM, with no early options available. While the rooms are a bit dated, they are impeccably clean. The hot springs were incredibly relaxing, and the Kaiseki dinner set was plentiful and satisfying. It was delightful to unwind in the onsen and then take a pleasant stroll through the charming local streets. Breakfast was also good. Overall, a very satisfying stay. Highly recommend this hotel.
It takes some walk to the busy main road. But the shuttle service is good. The hotel and everything is new, the in house hot spring is also very nice but only a small soda machine at the hot spring area. Would be nice if there’s more selection of snacks/drinks post hot spring. Very nice dinner menu, detailed design and impressive presentation.

GGuest UserI would like to thank all the staff, especially the front desk, for their help during my stay.
There was some confusion with my booking through Trip.com. I had already paid Trip.com for accommodation and breakfast, and I did not realise at first that this was only a prepayment to Trip.com to secure the booking, and that I would still need to pay the hotel directly at the front desk, with a refund to come later from Trip.com.
Your front desk team were very patient and professional in helping me contact Trip.com and clarify the situation so that I could understand why another payment at the hotel was required. I really appreciate their kindness and excellent service.
GGuest UserGrand Mercure Awaji Island boasts unparalleled sea views of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and the Seto Inland Sea. Its excellent location, however, makes it best suited for guests traveling by car. Our sea-view room was spacious and comfortable, with floor-to-ceiling windows that made the morning sea sunrise a daily spectacle. Both breakfast and dinner offered a wide variety of dishes; we especially recommend the Awaji Island milk and local onion specialties. However, dining options nearby are limited, meaning you'll likely rely on the hotel's restaurant for dinner. Without a car, finding other dining spots would require a taxi.
The hotel service was attentive, and the front desk staff spoke fluent English, providing helpful guides to local attractions. While the rooftop open-air hot spring bath isn't natural, it was uncrowded, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing with its sea views. On the downside, the facilities are a bit dated, and there's a noticeable lack of family-friendly entertainment options.
Overall, this hotel is ideal for guests seeking serene sea views and a relaxed pace, offering particularly excellent value for money during the off-season.
GGuest UserHotel 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.
GGuest UserOverall, a wonderful place. We highly recommend it. It was a wonderful walk from the station to the hotel, and we were greeted with the utmost courtesy, explained everything, and shown around. We were shown to our room and given instructions. We booked a traditional room with futons, and the view from the window was simply stunning. The onsen includes two hot springs, a comfortable changing area with massage chairs, a sauna, and a cold plunge pool. They give free passes to seven public baths in the village. There's a shuttle that takes you to various walking spots. The prices are reasonable. The breakfast buffet was wonderful. We were very satisfied and would love to come back!

GGuest UserA lovely hotel and wish to revisit, the room are fantastic, it's good combination between western and Japanese style with big room and bed. Also including complimentary of all drink in fridge (both water and alcohol drink). Although the staff could not communicate in English, but they are pleased to help us. There is free shuttle bus to public bath area. Breakfast is also delicious and beyond our expectation.
SShadoWofAlex357A good ryokan. The room was large and comfortable, and the staff were polite.
Even though the hotel is very old (you can feel it in places), it's very clean and cozy.
The koi on the terrace are a bit of a mixed bag:
The koi are beautiful, but they look scared and have very little space. I didn't get any aesthetic pleasure from them – I was more worried.
Pros:
- Amazing service
- Very atmospheric room
- Fantastic kaiseki dinner
- Good breakfast
- A pass is provided for all local onsens (you'll need to pay a symbolic 400 yen per visit to the onsens, but there are no restrictions on how many onsens you can visit, and you can even visit them for a couple of hours after check-out).
Cons:
- No smoking in the room or on the room's terrace (this is probably because their Gonzaemon hotel, where you *could* smoke, burned down nearby).
- The air conditioner only heats the main room; the other rooms (hallway, bathroom, toilet) are very cold.
- The hot tub is very small (it's photographed in a way that makes it look bigger).
- The convenience store (combini) is very far away.
- There are shared hot springs and a private bath in the adjacent building (you need to book in advance, and the last entry is at 11 PM).
- The yukatas are rather simple compared to other local ryokans.
GGuest UserThe room was slightly different from the pictures, but it didn't affect our stay. The surroundings were truly beautiful, especially the colorful autumn mountain scenery right next to the hotel. The facilities were a bit old but still clean and hygienic. The older staff members were incredibly helpful; when we requested water delivery around 6 AM, it was brought to our room immediately. However, the younger staff seemed to lack a bit. We had luggage and told the front desk that we'd wait in the lobby for about ten minutes before taking the hotel's shuttle to the Hankyu bus station. We saw the shuttle arrive and leave twice, and we didn't have time to go out and stop it. It would have been great if a doorman could have held the car for us. This caused a delay of about 20 minutes. Luckily, we had plenty of time before our scheduled bus departure, otherwise, we would have been very anxious.
GGuest UserBy far the best hotel/resort experience I ever encountered. Not only did we travel with a family of 5 but we had 10 luggage’s in total which they helped to organise and deliver to our room even though it was really heavy. Accommodated to everything that we need and asked and super welcoming. The small details that they would do have imprinted in my memories for life e.g remembering which shoes we had, prepared our slippers, explaining our meals and providing a blanket without us asking. I hope this reaches out to the manager who put the most effort to making sure we were happy and looked after. We would all recommend this place to our families and friends. 1000/10 S+++
