湯布院明裡之宿旅館 (Yufuin Akarinoyado)

星級評價以住宿資訊（酒店提供的服務及設施等）綜合因素為準，僅供參考

Room was huge as with Ryokan style accommodation and generally clean, What great is the reservation system for onsen so you can have a private slot for yourself/family instead of the usually gender sharing arrangement. It is about 10-15 minutes walk to Yunotsubo Kaido and 5 minutes to the train station and Aeon supermart. Unlike some osen town eg. Hakone, there is plenty of food option at night.

Nice hotel with private hot spring. Transportation is convenient, walk a few minutes to the bus terminal.

My room smelled musty. Staff were not knowledgeable and could only do the basics required for check-in. Dinner and breakfast were assembled as none of the staff could do more than make rice in rice cooker. Staff dressed more casual than tourists. The only positives are the rooftop bath and the bikes.

We booked a western style room with ensuite. The room is suited to people younger and smaller than us. Staff were friendly and carried our bags up to the room for us. Beds were too hard for us (we like firm) and chairs too short for comfort. The toiletseat was toosmall for a large male. None of these issues for us would bother smaller, younger people.

It’s near to Yufuin train station, <10min walking. There is Aeon nearby too. The hotel needs to improve the cleanliness and sound proofing. We are lucky just stay 1 night. Elevator is not available. I will not recommend.

Nice property just off the main street, near train station. It is pet friendly with 3 resident cats roaming around the lobby. You get to book 2 sessions at the baths after checked in, the semi open bath on the 2nd level is popular, while the rooftop bath may not be a good idea in cold weather although the view is great. You get free use of the bicycles for your stay. There is no lift so you have to carry your luggages up and down the stairs.

The hotel gives a lot of restrictions such as onsen requiring booking until free access from 9.40pm to the morning, 2hrs for free use of bicycles, bring your own paper cup (provided in your room, one per day) if you want coffee from coffee machine down stairs, no lift… I booked the hotel 6 months in advance at the price of aud365 per night and found the price dropped to aud122 if I had booked just few days in advance. Not value worth!

The staff were so nice, and we were pleasantly surprised when we found out 3 cats lived on the property as well!! Roof top Onsen and first floor were both amazing as well.

Quiet rooms with basic cooking facilities. Ability to book private onsen time, with open air options.

Only stairs moving luggage’s to 3rd floor
