The rooms at Yufuin Iyotomi offer a mostly positive experience with some areas of improvement noted by guests. Many appreciated the spaciousness and cleanliness of the rooms, with some describing them as nice and comfortable. Guests found the ambiance around the accommodation satisfactory, and for those staying in double rooms, they experienced a compact and comfortable setting. However, some comments highlighted issues such as smaller-than-expected room sizes, limited natural light, and a lack of washbasins in certain rooms. Specific concerns about the cherry blossom room's thin mattress during colder seasons and challenges with bathroom door locks were mentioned. Despite these drawbacks, rooms with two sections provided additional bathroom facilities, enhancing the stay for some visitors. Overall, while the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms were generally praised, there are opportunities for improvement in room size, lighting, and certain amenities.
When considering a stay at Yufuin Iyotomi, the bed situation is a notable aspect to keep in mind. For those accustomed to a futon, the comfort level of the beds may be up to standard, as some guests found them comfortable. However, there are recurring mentions of discomfort, with some beds described as being too soft or having a hammock-like quality, leading to disrupted sleep. Noise is another factor, as several guests noted that the beds creak loudly with minimal movement. Additionally, certain rooms have mattresses divided at the waist, which some visitors found inconvenient. In summary, while the beds at Yufuin Iyotomi may be suitable for those familiar with specific sleeping arrangements, they might not meet the expectations of others seeking a more universally comfortable and quiet resting experience.
Yufuin Iyotomi offers a mixed experience in terms of cleanliness, with some areas receiving praise while others show room for improvement. The hotel is noted for its clean and comfortable hot spring environment, providing guests a relaxing experience in its immaculate facilities. The indoor baths, available 24 hours a day, are frequently mentioned as well-maintained and pleasant. Guests also appreciate the cleanliness of the accommodation as a whole, with certain areas maintained to a high standard.
However, some aspects could be enhanced to match the overall positive impression. Issues such as dust under the TV stand and the presence of cockroaches have been pointed out, indicating occasional lapses in cleaning. The shared bathrooms, though generally clean, may cause inconvenience due to their distance from some rooms. Other areas like the changing room and men's toilets could benefit from more thorough cleaning, and the condition of the towels and haori suggests they should be refreshed to avoid an overly worn-out feel.
Despite these drawbacks, the hotel manages to maintain a good level of cleanliness in many aspects, especially highlighted by the pristine hot springs and generally well-kept accommodations.
