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.

It's not a good idea to give back because of the reviews, but in reality it's a guest house!The temperature outside the water is very small, and you don't have to wear clothes, but you can only reach nine points.The truth behind service😒I read the reviews and thought it was pretty good, but it was actually just a B&B.The open-air bath is very small, not insomniac, and only available until 9 o'clock. It is not possible to check in early and return to the hotel at 6 o'clock. Hardworking students finish their work early. Leave notes and read the content yourself.This service is really great 😒I thought it was pretty good after reading the reviews, but it’s actually just a B&B!The outdoor hot spring is very small, and it is not insomnia and can only be used until nine o'clock. You cannot check in early and return to the hotel at six o'clock. The work-study students get off work early and leave a note to read the contents yourself!The service is really 😒

Checked in on April 3, 2024. The hotel is located in the middle of Tianzhong. The farther you go from the city, the farther you go. It's hard to see this antique building.The inside is also very retro, with eight parking spaces and eight rooms available for guests.There are counter staff only in the afternoonLiving on the first floor is very convenient, but the access control is quite loose.There are 3 private hot spring houses and 1 open-air hot spring house.No breakfast provided, but free use of kitchen supplies and equipmentYou can bring your own foodIt’s considered a cheaper accommodation here.Cp value is super high

The walkway from the train station to the house is not good. Drag the bag and fear the wheels will break. and the walkway is quite far On the way back, it's better to call a taxi.The room's electric toilet cover was broken so it was freezing cold. Bicycles were no longer available for borrowing on the day we came to stay, so sad.It's good that there is an onsen to use. It's ok.

The hotel is a good value for money and has plenty of parking spaces. This time I encountered Agoda again. I will definitely not book with Agoda next time. I originally booked two rooms but couldn't find the order. Later it became a big one. Fortunately, there are separate rooms and a soup house. Can soak

There's a strange smell in the room.You can open the window to ventilate the room, but after a while after closing the window, the mysterious smell returns...There are a lot of foreigners visiting here, and the walls in the rooms are thin, so your voices can be heard quite a bit.I made a reservation thinking it was cheap, but there's a reason why it's cheap after all. It's subtle.Also, for some reason, there was a billiards table right next to the room I was staying in, and it was very noisy when people were playing.There's nothing around here, so I don't think you'll have much fun unless you choose a good place to stay.

“Top notch apartment in Yufuyin”Quiet and peaceful. Clean and cosy apartment converted into homestay. Free parking. Free access to onsen (hot bath) private room. Free coffee machine. Can use their kitchen to prepare your food. One of the most enjoyable experience in Yufuyin. But do not that dinner place is very limited. We rode out for dinner and managed to find that one place Yamaya Izakaya, Michelin Guide 2018. Do note that they will turn away big crowd. Ideal for couples.

The thing that bothers me the most is the smell.I could smell the odor of Westerners and cigarettes.The room was spacious and had various odor control goods, but no matter how many times I used them, the smell kept bothering me and I couldn't sleep well, so I checked out early the next day.Even after checking out, I could still smell the smell from the room, so I went in as soon as the public bath opened.Welcome drink? I was told I could drink, but the kitchen was next door and it was full of foreigners. . In that case, it would be better to have a plastic bottle of water in the room.The hot spring seems to be drawn from the inn next door.The bath is reserved for private use, and a sign at the entrance will let you know when it is in use.In use and empty are written on both sides of the tag, so make sure it is in use when you take a bath.At the open-air bath, I checked twice to make sure I was using it, but I heard a foreigner come in.When I told them I was inside, they let me out. So I couldn't even take a bath comfortably.The bath itself was clean and equipped with a chair and bucket for Kero-chan, and there was even Gaa-chan, so the atmosphere was nice.There were only two rental bicycles in use, so we couldn't use them.too little,,It can't be helped because of the location.It might not be a good idea for Japanese people to stay at this hotel thinking they are traveling domestically.It doesn't have to be Yufuin.There are various hot springs around this area.
