Amazing location, price and staff. I know a little bit of Japanese so that helped, but they have a book for non-Japanese speakers! If you’re visiting, just please be respectful of their rules. I would definitely come back and recommend to everyone!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Lost my key the night before. I think I lost it at a nearby restaurant. I backtracked everywhere I went but the restaurant was closed. So the staff person had to let me back in the room, which was down the street. I couldn’t leave the room again as there was also an entrance door that was locked 24/7 & I needed a key to get back in. So I was stuck in a room without a tv! In the morning when I checked out, they told me I couldn’t leave until I found the key. The restaurant wasn’t going to be open to noon, and there was no guarantee it was there. This all occurred at 0800 and I had a bus and several trains to catch. I offered to pay for the key replacement and they charged me 10,000 yen. I don’t know what it costs to copy and replace a key, but it certainly isn’t 10,000 yen. But I paid it because I was in a hurry. But telling me “No, you cannot check out until you find the key.” (In a very rude manner) did not sit right with me. I’m a senior, and I had prepaid for the room months before. I could have just left without paying for the key replacement, but I offered kindly and the payment was received rudely. Like, couldn’t they have just called the restaurant later when it opened? I actually liked the place, very old school renovated nicely. Except for the medieval onsen, lol. But to be told, “No, you cannot leave until you find the key” pissed me off and he’s lucky I didn’t go off on him after he took the bill & didn’t thank me for my patronage. 1 star.

When you get to the address provided, it directs you across the way to Kamiobo where you do the actual check-in. The attendant then leads you back to the actual location of your room. The ryokan only provides one towel per day. If you visit their onsen, you're supposed to bring that towel there with you, but they will not exchange a fresh one after you used the onsen so you will take that towel back with you to use in your room. The towel is also extremely thin so bring your own to use in your room and save their thin towel for the onsen. The hand towel provided is more like the body scrub towels hotels normally provide. A toothbrush and toothpaste is provided with your daily towel. The room has a mini fridge, electric water kettle, yukata, and slippers. The price of your stay includes free access to the onsen at Kamiobo. It was the scariest place I've ever visited in Japan. At Kamiobo, you get led through a maze of hallways before finally reaching the doors to the gender-separated onsen. You get downstairs and you're greeted by a room that looks straight out of a horror film. Go look at photos of Kamiobo on Google Maps and you will see what I mean. The room should probably be refreshed so that it's more inviting. Something as simple as a new paint job would help. I couldn't even relax while in the tub so I got out pretty quickly. It was so off-putting that I didn't bother to return or try the other public ones around. The mattress pad in the room was also very thin.

部屋もトイレ洗面台は清潔で、木造でも夜は静かでした。　 夕食・朝食なしの素泊りがコンセプトのお宿です。夕食は近隣の飲食店が20時前後に閉まるので、事前に予約や営業時間の確認をお勧めします。 TVはなくても、フリーWi-Fiがあります。 タオルはもう少し心地よいものだと嬉しいです☆ 同じ旅館の無料で入れる温泉は古いので、温泉は近くの金の湯をお勧めします。

有馬の温泉街の真ん中にある宿なので、風情も良く、宿の設備も綺麗で非常にシンプルでした。過ごしやすいですが、壁が少し薄いです。 周囲の飲食店が早く閉まるのと、離れた所にコンビニがあるので、事前に飲食物は用意しておいた方が良いです。

天然温泉源なので温泉湯がとても素晴らしい。和のテイストで昭和な雰囲気の宿です。 ホテルのような気遣いは少ないのでそこを求めてしまうと物足りなさを感じるが、ある程度自分でやれる方には十分かなぁと。 温泉湯が十分に熱いので冬は最高に満喫できると思います。天然温泉源なので外観がどうしても温泉源の蒸発で内装の綺麗さを損なうが天然温泉湯はそういう味のある風呂場になるので気にせずに温泉を楽しみお肌もスベスベです。

古民家の２階部分を宿泊スペースとして改修した施設で、フロントや温泉へは一旦建物外に出る必要があるという点ではやや不便だが、それでも有馬温泉にこの価格で宿泊できるならば十分という感じである。温泉は夜のみで朝風呂に入れないのが難点だが、それでも近隣に立ち寄り湯もあり、私は朝からそこを利用した。部屋は至って清潔で、お勧めできます。
