Baien Reviews

Exquisite accommodation - service, food and onsen. The room size is very spacious, with separate living room and bedroom. Onsen environment was fantastic, with choice for both shared with other Ryokan guests and for private use (1st come 1st serve basis). My family was very delighted with all the breakfasts and dinners, and each meal is always a surprise to our palate without disappointment. However, on the 2nd day we were ushered into a room that was next to their service pantry. It was noisy and the spotlight in that dining room was too hot despite the cold weather. This was the only area that marred the enjoyment. There was happy hour in the evening, and complimentary self-service bar was enjoyed by all guests. Baien is framed by a beautiful scenery but you would need a car as the location is not too near town area. Great base to venture to other areas of interest and return to each day for zen relaxation.

The only dissatisfaction is that people who don't rotate room types queue up outside to share the family hot spring. In such a cold weather, guests have to queue up outside. There are only two public family soup rooms in the entire hotel. There is no shower room in the room. Only public showers can be used. I think this hotel is not good in terms of hygiene. Only the staff serving the restaurant are very nice. I think the front desk staff could learn from the restaurant staff. Only suitable for people who drive, because it is quite far from 7-11 and main streets.

I think there are 2-3 Korean employees. The facilities are very good. If possible, it would be a good idea to get a room with dinner included. We ate outside and came in, but it was quite uncomfortable. 20 minutes walk from Yufuin Station to Baien Ryokan (If there is no hotel pick-up service, a taxi would be easier.) Please note that food is not allowed. The hot spring can be used after 15:00, but the hot spring water is a bit lukewarm at 15:00. If you use it immediately after checking in at 15:00, you can use the family bath. It's farther from tourist areas than you might think.

The room is big and there is a hot spring bath for the family

I felt comfortable because the Korean staff communicated well, and I was impressed by the atmosphere of a high-end ryokan. The attitude of giving a separate room guide after carrying the suitcase to the room was great. I was especially impressed by the open-air bath with a view of Mt. Yufudake. It was nice to be able to use the family bath. The yoga was so soft and comfortable that there was no need for a bed. It was early October in the mountains and the air was cold, so I slept with the heater on. I checked out feeling well-rested and healthy without any discomfort. I definitely want to go again.

A Japanese-style hotel with a sense of design hidden on the side of the road. There are oversized bedrooms and soup pools with male and female pools and family pools. It's a pity that I couldn't make an appointment for breakfast and dinner. There is a happy hour from 7 to 9 in the evening. Very considerate service, a pleasant trip.

I was satisfied with the Bayen Hotel. However, even though I accurately made a reservation for 2 adults and 2 children on Trip.com, Byen said that there were no reservations for children. I paid an additional cost of 110,000 won.

As soon as you walk into Yufuin Plum Garden, you feel like you are far away from the hustle and bustle. The lobby and outer garden have both a Japanese style and a modern feel. I really like it. The layout and size of the room are very good and user-friendly. We are a group of six, and the hotel arranged a very large private room for us to eat. The food for dinner and breakfast is of high quality, and the service is very good. The waiter has a smile on his face. The warm hospitality is commendable. The place for bathing in hot springs is very convenient. There are two quite large private hot springs that you can enjoy for free. People who are not used to bathing with others can also use the private hot springs to truly relax and enjoy themselves. The six of us all like Plum Garden very much. Highly recommend this hotel. Since the location of Meiyuan is relatively hidden, it is not easy to find it using the navigation system when driving by car. The hotel may consider adding signboards at intersections for guidance.

Japan is the worst. The hotel has no services. The hotel 1.5km away from the business district has no convenient facilities. The hotel that has not booked brunch cannot provide it at all. There is nothing in the hot springs without convenient facilities, which is rare in Japanese hotels. Can't buy it either. ***********. Bad review Bad review Bad review.

It was the use of 2 rooms (separate and main building) for 6 people. Although old, the room was spacious and comfortable. The food, dinner, and breakfast were both delicious and satisfying! The hot spring has a very large open-air bath, and you can see Mt. Yufu. It was an inn worthy of evaluation❗❗ If you have a chance, I would definitely like to visit again😁

We made a reservation for 1 million won, probably because it was the peak season.. ㅠ It felt expensive at first, but it was nice when we went there. It's a four-person room, but it's a pity that there are only two single beds, and there's no toilet in the room where you can take a shower, and having to go to a hot spring and use a public bath is a pity for the price. Still, the atmosphere and facilities were nice.

Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Front staff can speak English. Both breakfast and dinner are great. The road path to the Onsen is beautiful. It has both indoor and outdoor. There are family bath and no need to make reservation and you can use it when it is vacant. However we did not try it this time as it occupied. Both Kinrinko and 湯之坪 are note quite close to the hotel, it is better to drive there. Overall is over my expectation and the room rate is reasonable.

Great kaiseki dinner and breakfast.nice onsen bath and beautiful hotel ground. I will be back!

The annex was just perfect for a special family trip with kids. The service was incredible. Will definitely go back.
