We had an absolutely wonderful time at Arima Onsen Goshoboh.
The room was very spacious with all the amenities you could need, and it was such a great touch having two massage chairs in the room!
Dinner and traditional kaiseki breakfast were quite unique - some of the dishes were a bit too specific for our taste and we didn't try everything, but it was still an interesting culinary experience overall.
What really stood out was the honeymoon surprise at dinner - a beautifully presented dessert with a flame that revealed a flower, with cute little figurines inside. They even let us keep them as a souvenir! Such a thoughtful and memorable touch.
At the end of our stay, the hotel kindly drove us to the bus stop, which was a really nice gesture.
Overall a fantastic experience - we'd love to come back again!

Guest UserThe hotel is easy to find, right next to the Nanjing Ding plaque. The alleyways nearby are full of food options, which is very convenient. The front desk staff speak both English and Chinese, so communication was not an issue at all. The hot spring has long opening hours, and there's a washer and dryer available, so you can check from your room when it's free before heading down. I've stayed at Dormy Inn several times, and I personally feel that as long as the location suits your needs, you can book blindly without worrying about a bad experience.

lwu_fireThe hotel boasts an excellent location, often near Kobe Sannomiya Station, just a few minutes' walk away, making travel convenient. It's easy to transfer to places like Osaka and Kyoto, and close to transportation hubs such as the airport bus stop. There are various public transport options nearby to reach different attractions.
The rooms are generally clean and tidy, with some rooms well-equipped with amenities like air purifiers. Downstairs, there are convenience stores such as 7-Eleven, and the surrounding area offers numerous restaurants and supermarkets, making daily life very convenient. The hotel also provides self check-in/check-out services, and toiletries can be picked up from the lobby.

jo56The twin room was quite spacious and well-equipped. The service was excellent! There's a coffee bar in the lobby, and they even offer donuts around 4 PM. You can reach the hotel in about 5 minutes on foot from Suncity Exit 21 via the underground passage, or from the JR East Exit.

Guest User:) Thankful for the hotel shuttle service as the hotel is located after a really steep slope. Both onsen in hotel and the next building are good and clean.
:( Amenities didn't include facial cleanser and milk lotion. The pillows are too hard for me. The dinner plate arrangement setting appears to be dated - some of the food containers are old/ worn out with visible scratches on the surface. The menu is in Japanese wordings - will be good to provide English version.

DujiaobishouThis is an older Japanese five-star hotel. While the decor and facilities are a bit dated, they're well-maintained and quite clean. Although the hotel is built into the side of a mountain, the underground transportation is excellent; you can reach Sannomiya in just a few minutes, and there's a direct shuttle to Sanda just a five-minute walk away. I booked this hotel specifically for the direct bus to Kansai Airport at 2 PM, which is super convenient and a lifesaver if you have a lot of luggage. I don't recommend visiting the Ijinkan Street, which is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel.

Guest UserExcellent! The hygiene was impeccable, and the location was superb. It's about a 6-7 minute walk from Sancome Station, just across a pedestrian bridge. There's a convenience store downstairs, which is very handy. The breakfast was great! There's also a local supermarket nearby where you can shop, much more affordable than convenience stores – just search for a supermarket. I think it's called Ashashi?

FairyflossPerfect 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.

wwayneI was on a solo trip in Kansai for a week, and this was by far the best hotel I stayed at. It's incredibly affordable yet very spacious – I had no problem opening my suitcase. There's even a separate small table, which was super convenient for eating. The bathroom, for a Japanese unit bath, was surprisingly large and had a standard-sized bathtub, not a sit-down type. Plus, the location is truly excellent. It's right next to Sannomiya Station, making it incredibly convenient for dining, entertainment, and exploring. A short walk takes you to the Old Foreign Settlement Daimaru, which is great for shopping and a leisurely stroll. Meriken Park is also just about a 15-minute walk away. The only minor drawback was that there was road construction in front of the hotel entrance, so I had to use a small path to get in. However, there was no noise, and it didn't really impact me as a tourist. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Kobe.

Anonymous UserThe hotel offers a convenient location, especially for those using the metro, as it is closer to metro station than JR lines. The breakfast selection is impressive, with a wide variety of options that cater to different taste. However, one point to note is that the breakfast charge of JPY700 applies even for young children. In our case, my 6-year-old did not eat much, so the value felt limited. Overall, the stay was comfortable, and the location and breakfast variety are definite highlights
