For a place that was more hostel-like than any other hotel we stayed in during our Northern Kyushu trip, Hotel & Condominiums Airbest set some pretty strict rules from the get-go. We used booking.com to filter hotels near the Yufuin Station and settled on this for the price point, but upon checking the website the additional conditions (i.e. check in by 6pm otherwise you can only check in the following morning - what?) required us to plan our schedule carefully so we could catch the right train to Yufuin to arrive within that window period. 

The hotel is 4 floors, no elevator. We were assigned a room on the third floor and it’s a good thing we packed light, otherwise the luggage would have been a pain to drag up the stairs. The deluxe room itself was the biggest we have stayed in out of the 3 hotels we booked, with a full-size refrigerator and drawer for clothes and microwave, giving that apartment/hostel impression. The bed, while soft, sagged towards the middle and I could only sleep by curling up near the foot of the bed where it was a little firmer so I didn’t feel like my body was slanting towards the dip in the middle. My spouse said it was very comfortable though, so it depends on the person I guess.

Bathroom was small even by Japanese standards, and did not have that wonderful toilet technology one gets used to in Japan. No bidet, even. 

Still, it’s near everything, with a 7-11 within walking distance and the train station only a few minutes away. If you’re afraid of getting lost upon arriving, it’s probably the nearest hotel to the station. 

 If you like soft soft beds, it’s great. Washing machine and detergent on the fourth floor is free too. Just check their website, they’re very honest and up front about their rules so you can decide for yourself whether it’s the place to stay.
