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.

The checked-in experience was easy. Breakfast and dinner were a phenomenon. Everyone was kind and accommodating. We also got free milk in the morning that we could take, free boiled eggs, sweet potatoes, and popcorn by the fire at night. We loved our experience. Highly recommended.

I loved the onsen options in Hoteiya. All the shared onsens are private and has different layouts for you to experience. The onsens in the room are also the perfect size and temperature. Huge kudos to the staff for being super attentive and providing detailed explanation of the property and for providing the right size clothing. Absolutely would return if I ever came back to Kyushu.

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!
The room that we stayed, which is actually a house with private onsen.
The stay includes both dinner and breakfast
The private onsen was really wonderful

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!

We can enjoy the traditional ryokan and onsen itself. Our family stayed one night separated in two rooms and enjoyed kaiseki and breakfast. Dinner was one of my best dinner ever. The only concern is flies and bugs. But the customers have to endure if they want to enjoy rural style environment.

We enjoyed our stay at Hoteiya. The staff were kind, knowledgeable, and very attentive. There was a shuttle to and from the Yufuin JR station that was an easy phone call to arrange. The facilities were sparkling clean. We liked the different bathing areas. We didn't have dinner but we loved the breakfasts, which were different every day. The town of Yufuin is breathtaking. It has interesting tourist destinations and good food. Aside from spending time in the onsen, our favorite part of this trip was visiting neighboring Beppu, which was easy to access via the bus stop in front of the resort. Altogether, we had an amazing time and hope to return someday.

Just book it!

We stayed at Hoteiya to celebrate my grandmother’s birthday, and it was our best experience yet! I am so thankful that we were able to stay in this ryokan. Four generations, from my 2-year-old daughter to my grandmother in her 90s, still talk about how wonderful our stay at the ryokan was, and of course, all other family members loved it too. We stayed in the Fuji room, which was spacious, extremely clean, and very well-maintained. Both the indoor and outdoor hot springs were amazing. Outdoor one is definitely enough for 4 people. Everyone who worked there was top-notch and friendly. We love traveling in many countries, but I have never met this super friendly receptionist ever in my life!(She has short hair) I had seen some negative reviews about their kaiseki, but after experiencing it, I felt that it was a huge waste of my time. Each course was super tasty and extremely fresh, with a wide variety, and the portion sizes were perfect, even for my husband. Everyone was so impressed with the food. If we visit again, we will definitely stay for more than one night and, obviously, go back to Hoteiya.
