Top Joetsu Hotel Reviews

Aburaya Tosen

10/10 Excellent

"If you don’t mind the smell from the hot spring water, the room with private hot spring is the must. Enjoyed it a lot while staying there. The staff are very helpful and trying hard to speak English for their service. The owner is very nice and friendly."

Shibu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful stay! Very nice property alongside the river and close to the main street and baths. Spacious room, very nice baths on premises, excellent food. Above all, the hosts are very welcoming and gracious. Highly recommended!"

Hotel Futaba

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel in Yuzawa, which is a 90 minute Shinkansen ride from Tokyo. The onsen is nice too, highly recommend"

Hotel Hoshikawakan

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed the dinner meal even though I made a rookie hot pot mistake."

APA Hotel Joetsu Myoko Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are small by the American standards. Breakfast is ¥1600/person. Easy access to JR station."

Yukemurinoyado Yukinohana

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely Japanese style accomodation. Refreshing to see that shoes are off limits at the property and they provide good lockers for the shoes. Private baths and onsens are available for a soak after a day out to explore. Breakfast is good too though the timings of breakfast are a tad early but best way to start the day ! :)"

Livemax Resort Echigo Yuzawa

10/10 Excellent

"Position is convenient for train and restaurants. Onsen area was fabulous alternating temperature between the 2 pools each day. All the personal care items you need. Microwave on each floor is handy. There was at least 1 english speaking staff on front counter at all times. Dinner a little expensive but food was nice."

Hotel Housei

8/10 Good

"A very cute Ryokan with a nice onsen. The property is fairly run down, but otherwise a nice and quiet location and was clean."

Trip7 Yuzawa Sky Onsen Hotel

8/10 Good

"Checkout staff was incredibly kind and helpful. The onsen was welcoming for foreigners and we were informed tattoos were okay too, which was an unexpected surprise. Amenities (including robe for the onsen) were provided and there were vending machines easily accessible as well. Short walk to Yuzawa Station so it was very convenient. Compared to other properties in the area, it was nice to stay in a hotel with a private bathroom for only a slight price increase from hostel-style accommodations. Would recommend!"
