HHaerketawujinzhuan: The hotel is in an excellent location, only 200 meters from the JR station, yet the soundproofing of the room windows is superb, so there's no train noise. The hotel is relatively new and very clean. The room size is moderate; you can comfortably lay two 26-inch suitcases flat. The mattress is comfortable, and the bathroom is compact yet practical. The breakfast on the first floor is a typical Japanese breakfast. While the variety isn't huge, everything is delicious.

GGuest User: This hotel is extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. The beautiful Japanese-style interior with warm wood and latticework creates a calm, relaxing atmosphere. Every area is well kept and tidy. Soft lighting makes the space so cosy for unwinding after travel. It perfectly mixes traditional Japanese design with modern comfort. I really love the peaceful vibe here and highly recommend this wonderful place for your stay.

RRecall4056: This hotel is absolutely stunning! The rooftop is gorgeous and so worth it. The hotel environment is fantastic, and the infinity pool on the top floor offers a panoramic view of Beppu. I'd definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit.

GGuest User: We book this hotel because of the good review online. We like the hotel design, the rooms are detached and private. The location is quite secluded and not near restaurants. The hotel also don’t provide breakfast and dinner, so you will need to drive off for your meals. The main downside is our room came with a spoilt air conditioner which rain non stop throughout the night. When we found out about it at night, it is already too late to ask for room change. When we feedback to the staff the next day, they claimed that it is due to the heavy rain last night. When we asked whether the other rooms are affected, they told us no. They only offered a 9000 yen refund after we asked about it.

CChaorentuitui: For my winter break trip to Japan, I continued exploring Kyushu, specifically Beppu and Yufuin. In Beppu, I stayed at this established onsen hotel. It wasn't expensive, and when I booked, it was the last room available. I kept checking countless times to see if a larger room would open up, but none did. My husband, due to his state-owned company job, couldn't travel, so it was just me and my son, which ended up being perfectly fine. The hotel initially even set up three futons for us in the tatami room. The onsen was very relaxing. There were a lot of Korean guests at the hotel; I noticed them all at breakfast. Our room had a sea view, which I really liked. For housekeeping, they only offer free cleaning on the third day if you stay for three consecutive nights. Otherwise, it costs 3000 yen per cleaning. We figured it wasn't worth it since we didn't have much trash anyway, and I didn't bother making the bed. The hot springs also offered sea views, though we only used them at night. Soaking in them before bed was incredibly comfortable and relaxing. Breakfast was a buffet with a good variety of local Kyushu dishes. I ate there for two days straight and didn't get tired of it. In terms of transportation, it's about a 100-meter walk from the Beppu bus terminal if you're coming from Fukuoka. The JR station is also only about a 10-minute walk away, which is very convenient. Overall, I think it offers pretty good value for money.

GGuest User: 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.

SSherrysJourney: No car? No problem! Right next to Beppu Station, there's a dedicated waiting room for the hotel, so you don't have to worry about rain or snow. Plus, there's a free shuttle bus every 20 minutes. The hotel is situated on a hill, offering expansive views from all common areas. Inside, there's a large gift shop and a game center, perfect for both adults and children. Even though my room had a mountain view, I had no regrets; seeing the misty mountains and the steam from the hot springs was very characteristic of Beppu. Of course, the most important part is the hot springs! I'm not sure if there are private baths, but the public bathhouse was already fantastic! There are three large outdoor tiered pools, so even with a lot of people, it doesn't feel crowded or awkward. They overlook the bay, and the front-most pool even allows you to lie down – I really loved that spot. There are also several smaller single-person pools. The sauna was surprisingly in the outdoor area too; although small, it also offered sea views. And there were at least three cleaning staff constantly tidying up, keeping both the pools and floors very clean. I soaked in the hot springs three times during my one-night stay ♨️ – it was incredibly relaxing! Dinner was a buffet with a wide variety of dishes, and you could drink as much beer, red wine, white wine, and sake as you wanted! All the desserts were delicious. One more thing: even though I didn't take photos, I noticed many child-friendly details, such as a kids' food corner and utensils at the buffet, and changing tables in the hot spring changing rooms. It was my first time seeing this at a hot spring hotel, which is quite rare. I took the wrong train when I arrived, delaying my plans for an entire day. Combined with the rain, traveling solo, without a car, and not wanting to walk around in the wet, I only did one thing in Beppu: I just enjoyed the hotel 😹. Booking a good hotel is really important; my mood completely improved once I got here 🫶🏻

GGuest User: I liked the hotel. Very good selection for breakfast and dinner, convenient onsens, amenities of good quality and wide selection of shampoos, face cleansers, creams, etc. I liked infinity bath on the 7th floor, but due to the strong wind I could enjoy it for long time. However sunset and full moon were do beautiful and bath was comfortably hot. There are table tennis, billiard, massage chairs and gaming machines in the basement, omiyage shop. I liked choose of sizes and colors of yukatas too.

PPq xianren: The room was quite satisfactory, considering it's a business hotel, so my expectations weren't too high. The hotel's hot spring is relatively simple, but it was incredibly relaxing to soak in after a day of sightseeing. Plus, it's right by the sea, and a morning stroll along the beach was absolutely delightful.

GGuest User: You can see the ocean directly from the room, and there's a hot spring upstairs where you can soak while enjoying the sea view. The room itself is designed in a classic Japanese style and even comes with a water dispenser. It's very spacious, and the view in the morning is absolutely stunning.
