The staff were friendly and very accommodating. The English speaking ladies were kind and patient with all of us. One was able to reserve a van to take us back to Shin-Osaka, with all of our luggage. Plus…the view of the river, in the traditional tatami room was beautiful.

Great location - barely 2 blocks away from the train station. The host, Sugita, that greeted us was fluent in English! She was very hospitable and gave us information/recommendations around the area. The mall across the bridge has many cute stores and food to check out. The whole area is very quiet and peaceful. We got a room with a private onsen, facing the water - beautiful view. Strongly recommend!

Amazing hot spring hotel near Kobe and mountains

Stayed in Junior Suite and did one day with half board. We had a fantastic experience. Room was really pretty and the suite had a nice hot tub. The riverside view was really pretty, and they had a nice public onsen bath complete with riverside view, jacuzzi jets, and even massage chairs and complimentary drinks in the lounge area. Could also book a private onsen for ¥2,000 which was really reasonable. Service was excellent; staff were friendly, helpful, and respectful. They had some English-speaking staff on duty. There's a ramen shop and a convenience shop a short walk away. The hotel is also near the mountains, so we enjoyed the mountain views when travelling out to Kobe.

A pleasant surprise.

The stay in Hotel Wakamizu is more than expected. The Hotel itself is not in much of a tourist sightseeing spot, but since we have rented a car, and the hotel has offered free parking, it is not much of an issue. The room is very clean and well maintained, and since we have opted for the dinner and the breakfast package, the food itself is very delicious and fresh. It's not a far drive to Arima Onsen and Rokkosan, especially if you actually consider to stay in one of the hotel of Arima, I strongly recommended you to stay here instead, as the price is much lower and with way better quality of stay. We didnt anticipated much when we booked the hotel as we just planned for a place to stay with onsen in the middle of our road trip and I think we are really happy with this accidental choice, as it is a really pleasant surprise and i think we have received great value for the money we pay.
