Arima Royal Hotel

Everything that Arima Royal provided was beyond my expectation. I had an exceptional experience staying at Arima Royal. I am so surprised that they provide free flow of drinks (coffee, tea, juice & soft drinks) throughout the day, they even provide free afternoon snacks and supper for the guest. We paid for half board, means Breakfast and Dinner included. We were treated like a super duper VIP, we had our own dining room, the staffs were so friendly when serving us our meal. There's a lady called Ai, she is so lovely, she can speak some English, she made us feel so welcomed and loved, she explained patiently about our meal, what is the name of each food item and how we should eat them. The onsen in the hotel is divine, the best onsen among all the places we travelled in Japan. Arima Royal has the Gold onsen, means the onsen contain Gold mineral which is supposed to be beneficial for our health. The room is very spacious and they provide clean yukata for us everyday. I will recommend this hotel to everyone I know that will visit Japan.

My husband and I absolutely loved the Arima Ryokan. All three baths were wonderful and we liked the option of having both the gold and silver within close distance. The meals were also substantial and unique - definitely worth the value. The staff are also very kind and welcoming - there was a slight language barrier at times but they tried their best to accommdate!

The meals at this hotel were out of this world. Well exceeded any expectations. And the spa facilities both on the roof and basement were top notch.

The staff were polite but they didn't speak english.
