Staff was friendly and went above and beyond. The private baths were nice and a good way to relax and unwind. The free shuttle from Yufuin station was convenient. The food was great - lots of variety to try. I liked the Kabosu cocktail - highly recommend as an add-on.

We had a wonderful stay at Yufuin Hoteiya. The check-in was very warm and welcoming, especially thanks to Oda-san. We loved our private onsen, and both the kaiseki dinner and breakfast were outstanding. One of the highlights was making popcorn in the hearth (Yoppite) room—such a fun and memorable touch. Service throughout our stay was impeccable, including the convenient drop-off service provided by the staff. The location is also excellent: an easy walk from Yufuin Station, with lots of charming shops along the way, and just a short stroll to Lake Kinrin. We truly enjoyed our time here and hope to come back again.

Enjoyable stay

We had stayed for one night to celebrate our 4th Anniversary. We had a really enjoyable stay at the hotel. The staff were so nice and friendly. There was pick up service at the JR station and the hotel is very close to the Main Street for shopping and for food!

I liked that the location is away from the busy are, yet close enough. Good English support. We went up the hill and explored, which I would recomment if you want to get away from the crowd. Just a few good quality shops and art galleries, and restaurants up the hill.

It was generally good that you can enjoy a traditional Japanese style of stay. But it was bit cold at night time that requires extra heater to use.

Best honeymoon stay

This was one of the best experiences from our honeymoon. The staff was so nice and accommodating. Most staff spoke fluent English and were helpful in getting us a taxi and helping us with anything else we needed. Breakfast was traditional and incredible. I would recommend to anyone to stay here!
