Yufuin Sansuikan

This onsen hotel look rather old and tired from the outside, but besides that, everything about it exceeded my expectations. Location is just about a 6-7 minutes' walk from the train station. We stayed in the Japanese style room, which was clean, fairly spacious and overlooking the mountains. Onsen was good with both indoor and outdoor pools on the ground floor and first floor, swapping between males and females at allocated hours. As for the dinner, it was simply awesome! It was the standard buffet eat and drink all you can type, except it was not so standard with the standard food and the usual house pour. Dinner was widespread and high-quality stuff (graded wagyu steak) and a selection of whisky and premium beer lager. (Beer not the usual plastic cups BUT BY THE BOTTLES!) It was no surprise that queues start forming at 5.30pm even though dinner officially only start at 6. So, if Sansuikan is your pick, make sure you make a reservation with dinner.

For the cost of the hotel room..... i find the amenities quite wanting. There is no air conditioning, only heating, in the room i stayed in. If they expected customers to open their windows for replacing air conditioning, it would have been great if they installed mosquito netting panels as when we opened our windows for air, we had mosquitoes flying into the room.

The room doesn't have air conditioning（even in April）so we didn't sleep well.

The dinner buffet was hearty and awesome! Wide variety of food choice and the long leg crabs were super fresh! The hotel room was spacious.

Should offer more shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in room. Should add more sashimi types in buffet

Walking distance from jr station Very convenient The room is ig and the view is good Recommended
