Arima Onsen Motoyu Ryuusenkaku

The price/performance ratio is extremely low. The hotel facilities are the lowest among all the places I have visited in Japan. I highly do not recommend it. 5000+ for three people a night, the shuttle bus will not come to pick you up until after 3 o'clock. I see that other hotels in the hot spring area have on-demand shuttle services. It's a very ordinary, old tatami room. The area is not very large. There is a thick layer of dust on the air-conditioning outlet. When the heater is turned on, there is a strange smell in the whole room. If you mind the smell of oil smoke, don't choose this place. You can only eat dinner in the room. The smell of fried steak and shabu-shabu is hard to dissipate... My fingers wrinkled after soaking in the hotel's golden hot spring for less than 15 minutes. I suspect it was diluted with water... There was no ice water, drinks or popsicles to cool down after soaking in the hot spring. The service of the reception staff is average. The front desk staff is smiling but not smiling. The next morning after breakfast, I returned to the room and the tatami was still there, but no one helped to put it away. The quality of dinner was normal, nothing memorable, the portion was filling enough, there was salmon hot pot and grilled Tajima steak, the presentation looked cheap 😅 the view outside the window might be better during the maple leaf season, but now it is just an ordinary mountain view 👀 if the room rate per capita is over 1000, it is recommended not to choose this place. (It is also possible that the cost-effectiveness of the whole Arima Onsen one night two meals is so low)

The hotel is quite big. It takes a big slope to get there from the station. It's too hard to pull the luggage. I wanted to call to pick up, but the store number provided by Ctrip was one digit less, so I couldn't get through. It happened that a ********* family called the station pick-up number and picked us up together. The hotel is good, the service staff is very enthusiastic, the mountain view outside the window is beautiful, and there is no one in the hot spring at night, so you can enjoy the private bath treatment. You can also open a private bath for free. Because Ctrip's phone number is wrong, I can't contact the hotel, and I didn't book dinner in advance. When I checked in, the dinner was fully booked. I wanted to find food in the town, but the better restaurants were also fully booked. Be sure to book dinner in advance during the peak tourist season.
