Makinoto Onsen 3 Stars Hotels

"Friendly"

"The staff was really friendly and welcoming and overall the place is cosy. It is in a quieter area of the town but still feels safe. "

"Excellent hotel"

"Clean rooms, very helpful front office staff. Very effective Aircon/Heating in the room. Ideal location."

"The staff is very nice and the location is lovely. I got a free gift (a small pouch) when I checked in. My room was spacious and had a kotatsu which I really appreciated because it got suddenly cold outside. I also was able to enjoy two really beautiful and relaxing outdoor private baths! Breakfast had an amazing view and was delicious. They even gave me a hot pack when I checked out because it was cold outside. I really like the area and I’ll definitely visit again. "

"Excellent restaurant with a fantastic buffet breakfast. We stayed in one of the "Kumo" rooms which had nice views of Mount Aso. Would recommend to others."

"Overall quite nice. Bed was a touch soft for my liking, but I prefer quite firm, so probably would be perfect for others."

"The two of us stayed at ryokan Reimei at the end of March and we booked the reimei room with an open bath. We had the best experience ever. We could go in for a dip whenever we felt like it. The shower is on the outside with the open bath and the coldness of the weather wasn’t a problem for us since the water of the shower was quite warm and you jump into the onsen right after… (I see lots of comments complaining about that). Dinner/breakfast service time and shuttle bus leaving time was chosen at checkin, we could choose between the times that were convenient for us. The dinner and breakfast were not true kaiseki but it was still delicious and fulfilling. We also brought some pudding from downtown before going to our ryokan and I definitely recommend doing that as there’s no dessert component in the dinner kaiseki. This is not our first ryokan and having an open air bath definitely made the experience 10000 times better!!! We will definitely choose the same room again if we’re coming back to yufuin!! "
