    Value for money ryokan stay.

    The morning light will come through even though I had the curtains on. Would have been nice if the check out was at 11 instead of 10am.

    This is probably one of the most value for money ryokan I had ever stayed. I didn't order the dinner but there was a dinner Bento that came with it. I told them in advance that I didn't eat beef and they prepared a alternative for me. It was sumptuous! The room was large and I liked there's a coffee table with view of Mt. Yufu. Really enjoyed the onsen too!

    A little bit old and dated.

    The big rooms with comfy futons. The spacious hot baths. The ramen restaurant within the hotel allows guests easy access to dinner.

    We love the countryside location . The walk from the train station, though a bit far, is very charming. The trail is spotted by quaint cafes. Lovely onsen and footbath. Great mountain view from our room.

    No much eatery shops around. The hotel has a vending machine selling frozen food. Have to walk 5-10 minutes to nearby Aeon.

    The staff was friendly. Room was spacious and comfortable. A bit of tatami smell which was fine to me and soon will ignore it. We were given a mountain view room with great scenery.

    The location was a little bit away from the restaurants and shops but we generally didn't mind the walk. Breakfast was not included.

    There was an excellent onsen (separate male and female) on site which was large and included thermal springs, sauna, cold pool and bathing amenities and facilities. The rooms were quite a good size.

    Everything about our stay was exceptional. The staff were so lovely and helpful throughout our stay, the amenities and facilities were excellent, and the location was great. The room was very spacious and its free car park makes it perfect for those who are driving to Yufuin. We can’t recommend this hotel enough. Would highly recommend!

    Theres very little not to like about this hotel, if i had to nit pick, it would be that the fittings in the room feels like it was there since the early 90s. having said that, the fittings were pretty well maintain and i think that speaks volumes of the length the hotel staff went to kept them in tip top condition.

    Room was spacious and have a separate corner from the main sleeping area. Fittings were aged but well maintain. We particularly love the onsen and cleanliness of the entire hotel. Location was not too far off the main attractions/ main shopping street in yufu.

    The reception did not operate 24 hours. The door was locked after 12am till morning, but there was nobody at the reception, and the staff was totally uncontactable - no telephone or bell - unable to seek for help after 12am.

    The room was cozy and very spacious. Indoor & outdoor onsen. Water dispenser near to the elevator. Walking distance from train station. There was a ramen restaurant next to the lobby.
