My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The traditional Japanese-style room was cozy, but the smell of stale smoke was quite unpleasant. The staff at the dining room were friendly, and the location, while close to the station, had its drawbacks. The dining experience provided valuable insights into Japanese culture but lacked diversity in protein choices. The facilities were decent, offering a taste of Japanese tradition.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfy with nice views of the Hotel garden and surrounding mountains afar, but all rooms were smoking rooms. The service was friendly and helpful, but some staff members were not well trained in serving food in the correct sequence. The location was fairly central and convenient, being a short stroll from the train station, but more assistance upon arrival would have been appreciated. The dining options were mediocre, with the Japanese hot spring hotels offering more delicious choices. The facilities were average overall.

I couldn’t have asked for a better location! Just a quick walk from Yufuin station, this hotel is a gem. The rooms are massive with twin beds, lovely for a good night's sleep, yet the check-in time could be improved. The service is top-notch, always polite and accommodating. Delicious dinners and breakfasts were served with a touch of Japanese culture.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms offered a balcony with a lovely view of the garden and the mountain, perfect for three persons, but they were a bit old, especially the bathroom which needed additional cleaning upon request. The traditional Japanese style room added a unique touch to the stay.

The hotel offers spectacular views of the Yufu mountain but the rooms smelled badly of stale cigarette smoke. The service was friendly but lacked punctuality. The location is convenient, close to Yufuin Station and the main street. The dining experience provided insights into Japanese culture but was a bit low on protein.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although a bit small for five people and luggage, were spacious and well-equipped. I found the smell a bit unbearable, but the abundance of yukata supplies was a nice touch. The service was friendly and helpful, though there was a language barrier at times. The location was convenient, close to the station and with a beautiful mountain view from the balcony. The dining experience lacked protein but offered an immersive Japanese cultural experience. The facilities were adequate but nothing exceptional.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had a nice view with a balcony overlooking the garden and mountains, but were too small and uncomfortable for five people. The amenities provided, including the toilet, bath, dressing area, and yukata supplies, were more than enough. The service was helpful but lacked responsiveness at times. The location was very convenient near the train station and offered a fun horse ride experience. The dining was average with limited protein options, and the facilities were satisfactory.
