Reviews and Ratings
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.
