Very interesting landscape and loved the osen. It is one of the few private osens where I could bathe with my partner. One thing that should be made clear on the Expedia description is that you can only pay with cash!

This was such a wonderful and cute hotel. The owners and staff are so friendly and helped with our luggages! They provided hotel and cat cafe instructions to us in English and took the time to explain everything to us. The location is about an 8 minutes drive from the Yufuin shopping area so a car is recommended. The cats are adorable! The hot springs were amazing as well! Highly recommend.

The kindest, sweetest staff ever. Amazingly priced for the level of service, the outdoor Onsen, and cat Cafe all included??? I would come back to Yufuin just to stay here again.

原本打算到貓貓溫泉酒店過一晚除浸溫泉外，又可和貓貓一齊開心的過一個晚上但很失望，晚餐是店舖叫的外賣份量很少是普通的定食不能加量而且得幾嚿肉，這點必須要改善。 若要和貓貓玩卻原來需要進入另外一間貓房並要付款才可進入，這一點也令人失望！ 職員是非常的友善有禮，這點是值得讚。性價比不高。

If you like Cat’s and Onsen’s then this is the place for you. The onsen is nice and private for you to relax in with no worries either indoor or outdoor. All the cats are so adorable. The staff are so kind and accommodating. Want to come back soon. Highly recommend :)

What a great experience! Beautiful grounds, friendly staff, and delicious food. The cats theme is charming and we loved being able to spend time with them. It was nice having a private onsen and since there are limited guests, we didn’t have to reserve and were able to bathe whenever we asked. I recommend staying more than one night, and wish the trip were longer. Thank you for the beautiful stay!
