GEMS YUFUIN Hotel and Spa Cafe Bar

What guests think

At GEMS YUFUIN Hotel and Spa Cafe Bar, travellers consistently highlight the excellent central location near the JR station, spacious modern rooms that suit families, and friendly, helpful staff who create a comfortable, hassle-free base for exploring Yufuin.

The onsen and sauna are appreciated, though several reviews note small bathing areas and limited opening hours. A recurring drawback is the lack of an elevator, which can be inconvenient with heavy luggage, although staff can assist. Breakfast is available and described as simple, with mixed opinions on food overall and an on-site cafe bar mentioned. Overall, expect a modern, practical stay with a few trade-offs.

Very friendly and helpful staff, simple and filling breakfast provided. Though a small hotel with a cafe, the room is cozy yet large enough for a whole family of 4-5 with all the amenities provided. It’s near the train station and a large 7-11 with surrounding good food and walking distance to all the places of interest. Although there’s no elevator, the staff had helped to bring up our luggage to the room as we explored Yufuin, since check in is after 4pm. Check out is very late though, till 5pm, hence it’s great for those who want to explore more or just make use of the onsen or lounge. Overall a very satisfying stay and highly recommended!

Good point is very close to JR station. But terrible points are, no elevator, need to get heavy luggage upstairs, need to charge 1000 yen if you need to keep luggage there for a couple of hours after check out, hot spring bath available at limited time period , and the smell of the new wood in the room have give a bad day for those who are sensitive to smell, just like those people don’t smoke cannot tolerate smoking room. Think before you try provided the cost of stay is not cheap when compared with other hotels nearby.

Beautiful, modern, very tastefully decorated property. The front desk attendee was very hospitable, a warm welcome to our first time in Yufuin! Gems is a minute walk from the station / bus stop, and is located centrally to Yufuin town. The walk to Kinrin lake was beautiful, with views of the mountain on the street. The room we booked was incredibly spacious, and although designed for 4, did not feel too empty for 2. The bathroom is so well done and so clean, with a huge bath tub that just invites a private soak. We would stay again next time!

After paying an absurd amount for one night, they charged an additional fee to store my bag for an hour. Ludicrous. I stay in hotels 50-60 nights per year for almost 30 years and I’ve never paid a fee for that service. Ludicrous. The food was mediocre at best. The staff was friendly enough but not empowered to waive the ridiculous bag fee.

Really did not expect much coming into it. Originally we booked a onsen place which was old but big with 2 meals served. However, last minute changes, we ended up booking this place. I can only say it was such a nice surprise! Not only is the place clean, it is also very convenient!! This is literally a 2 minute walk from the train station. This is highly recommended for family traveling together. This place has hot spring as well!! What a neat and unique find!!

3인 커넥팅룸을 이용했습니다. 서비스 : 직원분들 모두 친절하며, 인원 수에 맞춰 방 키를 줍니다. 방 : 커넥팅 룸이다 보니 트윈룸이 두개나 마찬가지라 침대 4개, 화장실이 2개입니다. (화장실 2개 너무 편안했어요. ) 청소 상태도 좋았습니다. 조식 : 제가 경험했던 유사가격 호텔과 비교했을 때, 조식은 반찬의 수는 적지만 디저트에 더 신경쓴 느낌이었습니다.
