The accomodations and bathing area are a bit worn, but this is reflected with the price. The service is exceptional however, and I really enjoyed the onsen. Onsen is tattoo friendly which I needed. There is a smoking area within the building. It was a nice, traditional experience; the breakfast was particularly interesting.

I booked this ryokan as it was the most price friendly. The owners were super friendly and helpful, even though we had to talk through google translate as my japanese wasnt good enough. As others mentioned the stairs down to the hot springs (ast least for the female side) felt a bit dungeon-y. But the hot springs were amazing. The room was a bit older and you could tell there was some normal wear and tear from over the years but if i would definitely recommend it.

A bit grim I'm afraid, very worn, it really is time that it had an upgrade of some sort - everything about it was shabby and worn down. I'm sorry to say that but it wouldn't be fair on others if I didn't. Clean but that's about the best I can say. There is no 'spa' and no 'massage' as advertised which I established before arrival, the public bath is pretty grim. My room door didn't lock, it did from the inside but not the outside - they must know, I wasn't bothered as I consider Japan very safe and I had nothing to take. Room basic, futon and duvet, very comfortable and lovely fluffy duvet. No shower - it may be that you are expected to use the one in the public bath' but it was a hand held hose so impossible to wash my hair and hold the hose. No kettle but a flask with hot water for the powered green tea. First time I've had no kettle (first time I've had no shower!) Very central, so perfect for exploring the area - it was only one night so it was ok, I wouldn't have been happy had it been any longer. The area shuts down at 5.30 which was a bit of a surprise.

Not what I expected

For the price I expected there to be some food. I was surprised to find there was none and was disappointed with Expedia's description. Most of the overnight guests eat in their hotels and ryokans, so finding a meal is difficult. The bath water was excellent--but that is shared by all the lodges. The bathroom, on the other hand, down cold concrete steps, was simply a bare, tiled room with two tubs. The price is probably common to the area since it is so famous, but compared to all the other places I've stayed at in Japan, I did not think the value was there.

有馬温泉の湯本坂の真ん中にある、小さな旅館です。ひとりで泊まりました。【立地】温泉街のほぼ中心で、天神泉源もすぐ近くです。夕方の散策も、朝の散歩も、宿を出てすぐに楽しめました。部屋のベランダからは、温泉街の通りと空が見えます。夜の灯りの通りや、朝の静かな通りを眺められるのがよかったです。【温泉】源泉かけ流しで、しっかり温泉の香りがします。2つあるお風呂のうち、濁り湯のほうに入りました。古さが味わいになった、雰囲気のある湯殿です。お湯は少し熱めで、とても気持ちよかったです。【朝食】部屋でいただきました。どれもおいしく、ご飯の量がとても多いので、しっかり食べたい方にはうれしいと思います。食べ歩きを予定している方は、少し加減するのがおすすめです。途中で、鮭をご飯にのせ、置いてあるお湯をかけて鮭茶漬けにしてみたら、これがおいしかったです。ぜひ試してみてください。【スタッフ】皆さんとても丁寧で、物腰がやわらかく、気持ちよく過ごせました。【近くのお店】夕食は近くの「食堂森本」の豚ロースかつ定食がおいしかったです。夜は、散歩しながら1個100円の湯まんじゅうを。翌朝は竹中肉店のコロッケやジェラートなど、宿の周りだけで食べ歩きを楽しめます。お店は夕方に閉まるところが多いので、夕食の場所は早めに決めておくと安心です。また有馬に来るときも、泊まりたい宿です。

古い浴場だが良質な泉質

温泉は大人4人ギリギリくらいのサイズでしたが、幸い夜風呂/朝風呂とも1人で入れました。かなり熱かったですが泉質の良さを体感できました。温泉街の真ん中にある好立地にも関わらず和室でも終日静かで落ち着いて過ごせました。イメージ通りの旅館の朝食でも楽しめました。

This Ryokan is not fancy or modern but was perfect for what we needed. We wanted a traditional experience and a few days away from the sounds of Tokyo. Kamiobo is located in the neighbourhood of Aroma Onsen, a quiet village just outside of Kobe. Kamiobo felt like we were staying at a B&B. It was comfortable, unique and traditional. We used the Onsen every morning and night and they had no issues with our tattoos! Each morning we drank our tea in our sunroom which was a nice way to start the day. Sleeping on the floor was quite the experience but this stay will definitely help define our trip to Japan. Only negative is that Aroma Onsen is a bit of a sleepy town, restaurants close early and there are limited food and drink options after 8pm.

喧騒を離れて一人で過ごすにはうってつけかも

両親の供養の巡礼途中で宿泊しました。有馬は道幅が狭く、複雑で、散々迷ってようやくたどり着きました。少し古めかしいお宿でしたが、お部屋は広く清潔で、くつろげました。お風呂は、源泉に一番近く、濃厚で、一日中歩き回った疲れがすぐとれました。二日間冬日のような寒さでしたが、冷え性を忘れるくらい身体が芯から温まって快適に過ごすことができました。朝食も美味しかったです。お世話をしてくださったおばちゃんがとても親切で親しみやすかったです。方向音痴で散々道に迷って到着が遅くなってしまい、迎えに来てくださった方をずいぶん待たせてしまい、ご迷惑をかけてしまいました。ごめんなさい。

따뜻하고 좋은 료칸. 지난번에 아리마온천에 갔을땐 숙소가 셔틀로 움직여야해서 좀 불편했으나, 이 료칸은 걸어서 갈수있어 좋음. 주인장도 친절하고 욕탕은 많이 작고 아담하지만 물이 뜨끈뜨끈 아주 뜨거워서 찬물을 한참 틀어 식힌 뒤 들어감. 단점은 밤 11시가 되면 문을 잠근다는 점과 같은 시각에 온천도 중단하는 점. 나머지는 다 괜찮았음.
