YUMORI ONSEN HOSTEL

For me, the private onsen rooms stand out as a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I'm not a fan of public onsen, so being able to relax privately was a real treat. The room was lovely and spacious, whilst I was travelling alone this would be easily enough space for a small group of 3-4. The room also included a private toilet, shower and basin which was very convenient. The staff were polite and welcoming.

I had no issues during my stay, there wasn't anything in particularly that I disliked. The parking situation can be a little tight at times, they use double parking so for the cars stacked in front you'll need to leave your car key with the staff but I've never not had a place to park. I was surprised to find the staff had moved my car closer to the front of the entrance the next morning, I think this was intended as a nice service but I felt bad because the inside of my car was a bit messy, since I arrived late and was checking out early I thought they may not need to move my car.

The dorm room was clean and the capsule space was quite spacious, much more room than a usual capsule hotel. It seemed to be a female only dorm room which was great and everyone was considerate and quiet. I really liked that there were private onsen rooms you could book and use by the hour. In my opinion they were a great price and very relaxing! Personally I'm not comfortable with public onsens, I was glad they not only had 2 private onsen rooms available but also 2 private shower rooms as well. Convenient location for those visiting Ebisu Circuit!

The shower rooms weren't the best, they were a bit mouldy and I don't think they had good ventilation but it wasn't terrible. Adding some more hooks on the wall would be good. There are only 2 shower rooms for the entire place. I overheard some others who woke up earlier had to wait for showers but when I went they were available. If I stay there again, I'd for sure book the private onsen room again, that was lovely! The parking availability wasn't great, however I was staying there during golden week and it was very busy. The staff were very helpful however and both nights made sure I had somewhere to park without too much hassle.

Everything was spotlessly clean, the Onsen was very nice and had all the necessary facilities (showers, soap, shampoo etc). Rooms were also clean

Bed and pillow were pretty hard

kind and accommodating staff

no private bathroom
