4-Star Hotels in Beppu

I stayed with my family during our trip to Beppu, and it exceeded all my expectations. We wanted to experience a traditional-style Ryokan, and this was the perfect choice. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring that everything was well managed. One of the highlights was the ability to reserve a private bath, which made the experience even more relaxing. The breakfast was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere was peaceful and calm, making it an ideal place to rest and unwind. The location is also convenient—just a 7-10 minute taxi ride from Beppu Station. I highly recommend this Ryokan to anyone looking for an authentic and relaxing stay in Beppu!

A cozy inn in the Kannawa area. Perfect for those who want to avoid spending time traveling, as it's close to the ”Hell Tour” hot springs. We enjoyed all-you-can-eat wagyu steak, a buffet, and à la carte dishes brought to our table, ensuring we could eat piping hot food. Alcohol and soft drinks were also all-you-can-drink. I wanted to try everything, but unfortunately, I'm getting older and can't eat as much. The hot springs had a limited variety of baths, but bath towels and regular towels were available in the main bath, so it was nice to be able to use fresh ones each time. I would like to visit again with my family if I have the opportunity.

We enjoyed our stay at KOKO Hotel Premier Hakata. The location is very convenient, with easy access to Hakata Station and many nearby attractions. There is also a convenience store right next door, which was extremely handy during our stay. The staff were friendly, helpful, and responded promptly whenever assistance was needed. The hotel and guest rooms were tidy and well maintained. One thing to note is that daily room cleaning is not provided, so while the room was generally clean and comfortable, I would not rate it at the highest level of cleanliness compared with hotels that provide daily housekeeping service. Amenities such as toothbrushes, tea, and other supplies are available at the lobby for guests to collect as needed, which is a practical and environmentally friendly approach. Overall, a comfortable and well-located hotel with good service, and I would consider staying here again when visiting Fukuoka.

This hotel has it all, even a water filter for drinking water, not to mention a whole box of laundry detergent for washing clothes, and a drying rack on the balcony. On the first floor, there's a lobby with a variety of free drinks. The breakfast on the top floor is also incredibly rich, costing about 250 NTD per person. The curry rice, miso soup, tamagoyaki, and side dishes are abundant. We even ordered a grilled meat set meal for dinner, which was luxurious and affordable. I honestly suspect the owner doesn't care about costs, just wants guests to enjoy themselves. There are also parking spaces at the entrance. The rooftop restaurant offers over a 250-degree view of the beach, ocean, and nightscape, which is absolutely beautiful. Nearby, you can take a walk along the beach and enjoy Beppu Onsen. The Beppu Observation Deck at night is also stunning, and it's more than just a traditional observation deck: * 17F: Observation deck, observation deck cafe, light installations, Beppu Tower Shrine * 16F: Observation deck, Galaxy Walk, and other illuminated spaces * 5F: Sky & Light Terrace, mid-level observation deck, also with BBQ/Sauna facilities * 4F: Karaoke * 2F: Beppu Art Museum * 1F: Restaurant CREOLE CAFE

My husband and I stayed 3 nights here in late May 2026. And wow - this place is super impressive! This was by far the best hotel / resort we’ve stayed at during our Japan trip (nearly 3 months of traveling central and southern Japan). The rooms are spacious, extremely clean, luxurious. You have your own private indoor onsen, outdoor onsen, cold plunge tub, sauna and if in the summer, your own private pool. You have a full size kitchen, full western style living room with a TV, full Japanese style living room, multiple toilets and a beautiful bathroom. And a beautiful view overlooking Beppu below! The food is absolutely delicious. The staff and their service are professional, knowledgeable and very welcoming. It’s close to the 7 hells of Beppu attractions so it makes for an easy day trip too. And if you’re looking for a public onsen experience, its sister property is a 5 minute walk from this resort. It’s a newer establishment without many reviews yet, but take my word for it, you won’t be disappointed. We truly loved our stay here and we will definitely be back.

Having stayed in both the Premium and Standard rooms, I can say the Premium room's open-air bath is definitely worth the extra 50,000 won. The only real difference is the tub, but the open-air bath is spacious enough for two or more people to soak together, and having a small window with an ocean view was a great touch. The standard room, on the other hand, just feels like a regular bathtub that runs hot spring water.

This spacious accommodation is ideal for a family getaway with several members. It was tidy and cozy, making it a pleasant place to stay with my kids. The highlight was the garden outside and the large windows that let in the morning sun, creating a lovely atmosphere for breakfast while gazing outside. Unfortunately, the hot spring was out of order when we got there, but it appeared to be large enough for two people to enjoy. I was initially concerned that the size of the apartment would make it chilly upon arrival, but the heating system was effective, and the place warmed up quickly.

Hoshino Resorts KAI Beppu | Immersed in Japanese Aesthetics, Ocean-View Onsen is Super Healing— The hotel environment is clean and tidy, and the Japanese bathhouse, in particular, is much more tranquil and spotless than many Japanese ryokans; it's truly in a different league. There's not a speck of dust in any corner, and the bathrooms, tatami mats, and floor-to-ceiling windows are all sparkling clean and clear, perfect for germaphobes. The architecture is modern Japanese style, designed by Kengo Kuma. The wooden corridors and washi paper lanterns create a fantastic ambiance. All guest rooms directly face Beppu Bay, offering a stunning 'picture frame' view to watch the sunrise over the ocean from your bed. However, the room type I booked did not include a private onsen. The public hot springs are divided into indoor and open-air sections; the saline onsen water is incredibly smooth, leaving you feeling completely soothed and relaxed after a soak. There's also a free foot bath in the lobby, perfect for resting your feet and enjoying the sea view anytime. The service upholds Hoshino's consistently meticulous and thoughtful standards. The staff are gentle and polite, assisting with check-in, explaining in-house activities, and there are even evening performances and local cultural experiences. The hotel shop offers a good selection of local specialty souvenirs to purchase. Transportation is also very convenient, just a ten-minute walk from Beppu Station. The hotel is located by the coast, making it easy to stroll and explore the seaside promenade. The 'one night, two meals' kaiseki dinner features exquisite local seafood and ingredients from Oita, presented beautifully with a delicate and refined flavor. For breakfast, you can choose between Japanese and Western options. The Japanese breakfast includes a 'jigoku mushi' set meal with a rich variety, offering a balanced combination of fresh fish, steamed vegetables, and miso soup. Tip: Be sure to book your breakfast time well in advance with the hotel, otherwise an early slot can be quite inconvenient.

I booked this hotel specifically for the private onsen in the room. When I first turned on the water, there was a strange smell, and I noticed some floating particles, which was quite off-putting. However, I later realized it was the natural sulfur smell of the hot spring, and the particles were inherent to the onsen water itself (as explained in the brochure), which put my mind at ease. The hotel environment is fantastic. The breakfast and dinner menus were different each of the two nights, which was wonderful. The food alone made it worth the price; it's the best value-for-money onsen hotel I've ever stayed at. It was my favorite part of the entire Kyushu trip! I definitely want to come back again in the winter.

The receptionist was courteous. The other staff members were also considerate. The rooms are clean and have plenty of amenities. The breakfast was luxurious and filling.
