This is a wonderful traditional onsen hotel with upgraded facilities. The staff are kind and very helpful. The kaiseki dinner is delicious and Juu our server is attentive and kind.
Truly top class, a really fine establishment that I would put alongside the best 5-star hotel brands, probably even better.
This was honestly one of the best Japanese experiences I’ve had. The hotel was so serene and achieved everything I have expected from an Onsen experience.
Fantastic experience at Yuraku. From the moment walked up to when we walked out on our last day the service was exceptional.
We sprung for a quad suite and half board, and it it not disappoint. The kitchen gave us a tremendous variety of Japanese traditional dishes, it was a real culinary learning experience!

The room was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained.
Excellent location. Hotel was across road from JR Station and Bus Stops (to Naruto, Matsuyama etc).
Water in indoor onsen had a brownish hue due to high iron content. There is an outdoor jacuzzi pool.
Pros —
It ticks all boxes for value for money hotel. Reasonably priced, excellent location, all basic amenities available either in room or at lobby except coffee, clean.
Offers great value for the money. Excellent facilities for the money. Rooms are small like the European rooms, but I was already use to this. Breakfast buffet is uniquely Japanese and delicious!
I wish I could give 5 stars but I just find the price which is double of another accomodation in the heart of the town, yet no dinner included and no welcome drinks/lounge, to be quite a steal.
Absolutely worth every yen. Kinosaki Riverside Hotel was one of the highlights of our trip.
This was our big finale (a 2 night stay in kinosake onsen), and this hotel just wasn't our favorite.
