As soon as I entered, there was a sour smell, but it didn't go away until I left after two days. The bedding was clean, but the air conditioner was not cleaned. The bathroom had a lot of limescale and was not properly ventilated. I found something that looked like a cockroach on the stairs.Since the terrace on the second floor is a smoking area, people living in the room right in front of the door leading out to the terrace will be exposed to second-hand smoke.Above all, the entrance is open 24 hours a day, but there is no one at the front desk in the evening because they are home from work. The door opens and locks with a key, but I was very worried about crime prevention.

great. It's clean, the communal kitchen is good, and I like it except for the fact that there's no elevator on the second floor (it might be difficult for the elderly)? 650 yen by taxi from Yufu Station, 20 minutes walk?

If you bring a 0-year-old baby and the number of people increases, an additional accommodation fee of 3000 yen will be added. After handing over the money, I put in the employee's personal wallet. Management is quite poorWhen I entered the room, there was a strange smell so I couldn't sleep. My child has a sore throat and I feel sorry for him. It's the worst hotel

It is located about a 15-20 minute walk from Yufuin Station. Check-in is easy with the help of friendly clerks, and you are then provided with instructions in several languages. I heard that self-check-in is possible if there is no owner. Next to the lobby, there are chairs and a space where you can sit leisurely like a cafe, and it includes various common products such as a coffee machine, juice, and kitchen utensils. It is impressive to see numerous figures and models placed in the second floor hallway. The room is big and spacious and very comfortable. The three-person room I used had a separate tatami room, bedroom, and living room, and I didn't find any major problems such as cleanliness or water supply. That's a good thing. The 3 types of family hot springs were very comfortable and had a nice atmosphere. There is also a cute duck doll floating above the hot spring bath. However, there is a 30-minute time limit, so it feels a bit short, but I think it is inevitable because it is a facility that everyone uses together. This is quite disappointing as it seems that the number of hot springs is small compared to the number of guests in the hotel. And they provide free bicycles. Although it's not in great condition, it's a quick bike ride to the shops near Yufuin Station, and cycling through the country roads is a warm experience. Satisfactory accommodation.

I feel that there are no reviews that are as good as this. It is located in the middle of the field. The staff are here from 09:00 to 18:00. There is basically no management. The door is not locked at night and there is no access control. Anyone can come in and out. I had respiratory allergies for two days and have been in and out of Japan many times. This is the first time I have had allergies in Japan. With a preschooler in tow, would not consider staying here again.

The room is spacious. The hotel has an onsen. Indoor and outdoor There is no need to reserve, just use the service for no more than 30 minutes at a time. The hotel is decorated with many cute dolls. The location may not be very central but can be walked. There is also parking available.

It's a bit out of the way, so it's hard to get to the accommodation, but instead, it's good to see the nearby food alley and the night view of the lake.
