Top Joetsu Hotel Reviews

Shibu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect . Amazingly friendly snd helpful staff"

Shibu Onsen KOKUYA

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay here was amazing. The onsens were relaxing and beautiful, but the staff is what made our stay one of our favorite places while in Japan. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home."

APA Hotel Joetsu Myoko Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are small by the American standards. Breakfast is ¥1600/person. Easy access to JR station."

Yukemurinoyado Yukinohana

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely Japanese style accomodation. Refreshing to see that shoes are off limits at the property and they provide good lockers for the shoes. Private baths and onsens are available for a soak after a day out to explore. Breakfast is good too though the timings of breakfast are a tad early but best way to start the day ! :)"

Livemax Resort Echigo Yuzawa

10/10 Excellent

"Position is convenient for train and restaurants. Onsen area was fabulous alternating temperature between the 2 pools each day. All the personal care items you need. Microwave on each floor is handy. There was at least 1 english speaking staff on front counter at all times. Dinner a little expensive but food was nice."

Hotel Housei

8/10 Good

"A very cute Ryokan with a nice onsen. The property is fairly run down, but otherwise a nice and quiet location and was clean."

Trip7 Yuzawa Sky Onsen Hotel

8/10 Good

"Checkout staff was incredibly kind and helpful. The onsen was welcoming for foreigners and we were informed tattoos were okay too, which was an unexpected surprise. Amenities (including robe for the onsen) were provided and there were vending machines easily accessible as well. Short walk to Yuzawa Station so it was very convenient. Compared to other properties in the area, it was nice to stay in a hotel with a private bathroom for only a slight price increase from hostel-style accommodations. Would recommend!"
