Hotels near Iwashita Collection, Yufu

I don't know if it's because I was staying alone, but the room facilities were really great! The bed was big, there was a sofa, TV, microwave, and fridge! The bathtub was also big and nice! It felt like the largest bathtub I've seen in a Japanese hotel. For this price and room condition, I would definitely stay here again. It's super convenient as it's right in front of the station. You just need to cross one crosswalk, it feels like crossing a small alley... doesn't even take a minute! The surrounding shops close early, and it's a bit far from the main street, so it was nice and quiet at night. Even the shops on the main street all close by 5 PM! However, you might be a bit surprised when you first check-in. You just need to enter the password correctly at the front of the building and go in to check-in. There's no one there, so you might feel a bit flustered. There are stairs leading to the check-in area, so if you have a lot of luggage, I recommend leaving it downstairs, checking in first, getting your room assignment, and then moving your bags! If you get a room on the first floor, you'll have to carry them back down! I heard there's an onsen on the rooftop, but I didn't go, so I don't know. Also, they don't clean the rooms! This didn't bother me much, but they only provide enough towels for one night, regardless of whether you stay for 3 or 4 nights. They tell you to wash them in the washing machine! To use the washing machine conveniently, it's best to shower quickly, start the laundry, and then do other things. Just rinsing, spinning, and drying takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes! Also, unlike a hotel, there are no C-type or USB-type outlets in the room. You definitely need to bring an adapter. It's not like hotels where the power is weak, so I was able to use my curling iron. Since it's convenient to wash towels, I would probably use this place again if I go to Yufuin.

The environment here is great. Although it's a bit far, they offer shuttle service, so it's not a big issue. However, I was quite concerned about the cleanliness of the hot spring. It seemed that whenever I moved, a lot of black, white, and gray fibrous material would float up from the bottom of the pool. I even saw distinct small white feathers, possibly from birds? I understand that being in the mountains might lead to some influence from plants and animals, but there was clearly a lot settled at the bottom, suggesting it hasn't been thoroughly cleaned for a while. Many of the restaurant staff were from India or Pakistan, and most of the other guests I encountered were foreigners. The price isn't expensive, and the room is large, but the facilities are a bit old. The room's cleanliness was actually decent, it just felt a bit dated.

Location about 2 km from Yufuin town and the tourist attractions around Lake Kinrin. So if you come by public transport not driving, it is a bit far. But advantage is serenity. Breakfast is great and service friendly. Onsen in our room is lovely. Just not too used to 1] no phone in room to allow communication with hotel staff; 2] nowhere (such as hooks on the wall or behind doors) to hang clothing or towels - a couple of coat hangers in wardrobe are not enough and 3] no daily cleaning of room.

Overall, very satisfied! Location: It's about a 7-minute drive from the station, but the hotel offers a shuttle service during afternoon check-in and morning check-out, so you basically don't need to take a taxi. Try to explore the town and buy supplies before entering the hotel, otherwise it might be inconvenient to go out on your own. Environment: The hotel was clean, no stains. The environment outside the room was serene; you could occasionally hear cicadas and frogs. A dragonfly even came to greet me while I was soaking in the hot spring. It felt like being surrounded by nature, very comfortable, but surprisingly, there weren't any mosquitoes! Service: From the moment I boarded the shuttle, I didn't need to carry my luggage. The staff were friendly and smiling throughout, even joking around when explaining how to eat. Excellent service! Hotel Facilities: There doesn't seem to be a public hot spring, but the private hot spring is more than enough! Food: For dinner, I chose sukiyaki. The beef was tender and marbled with fat, but surprisingly, it tasted quite refreshing and didn't get greasy quickly (although it did get greasy towards the end, haha). Breakfast was also quite good; I especially loved the mentaiko with rice. I'll definitely come back next time!

Gorinka is quite a distance from Yufuin Station. I did an every morning stroll to the town. It was a very quiet walk that I enjoyed the quaintness. The owner was very friendly and allowed me to check in earlier. The private onsen was fabulous. The privacy and again the quaintness were what I enjoyed most in Yufuin. On my checkout day, it rained quite heavily and owner was so sweet to drive me to the station. Greatly appreciated. Oh! A sake was served complimentary 👍🏻😉

This beautiful Ryokan is over 100 years old with deep heritage. I like that it stay as it is as if time stood still. So full of character. I was drawn to the onsens featuring beautiful outdoor views. You'll get to enjoy indoor and outdoor onsens here.. You get to try different types of onsens as they switch around. The highlight was the mountain view, the tranquility that some accommodation lacks due to the amount of guests. Here, you see mostly adults, hence irs ideal for people looking for a quieter retreat. Finally I was absolutely blown away by the wagyu beef at each dinner buffet. The Oita beef was of good quality and there was crab legs and so many variety of seafood and Oita specialty. Breakfast did not disappoint. Love the Yufuin milk and the pudding. Service staff was very attentive too. Ideally for non driving travellers. A short walk to the station and kinrin river.

The location is convenient, close to the supermarket, the room is clean and has a private bath, the service staff is friendly and polite, I stayed in Yufuin for one night and the scenery was beautiful and very memorable

Walked to Lake Kinrin in under 6 minutes. I'm not sure if I picked the wrong room type, it felt like there were different styles. Dinner was a standard beef shabu-shabu; the food was ordinary and the sashimi wasn't particularly outstanding, though there was a good variety and I ate until I was stuffed. The onsen was quite relaxing, but it didn't have any views since it's located in an urban area. The last seating for dinner was 6:30 PM, and for breakfast, it was 8:30 AM. However, after breakfast, they actually packed up my bed, which was a bit surprising as I wanted to sleep more. On the bright side, the staff were incredibly helpful and all very nice.

Although the location is near the Yufuin station, it's not easy to find, we spend more than 30mins walking and asking around and lugging our luggage. But its 10mins walk to Lake Kinrin and Lawsons is just next door. Room is ok but no bathroom only a cramp toilet bowl and small wash basin. need to go to the public onsen near the lobby or in the courtyard for shower but the door can be locked for privacy, only problem is have to wait for your turn if someone else is using it. There is a dining area where you can heat food in microwave and big dining table to eat your meals, free coffee and drinking water is available too.

Need walk from bus station. But room is big amd clean.
