Popular Beppu 4-star Hotels

We booked the Sora western room type, which was described as having two double beds and three futon beds. However, upon arrival, I didn't see any futon beds in the room nor were they offered. In terms of service, I expected a better introduction to the rooms given the price I am paying. We received a very simple introduction to the common area, but didn't get a room tour showing where things are located, which Yukata to wear indoors and outdoors, etc. I've paid a similar price for another onsen hotel where we received a much better reception upon arrival. We did ask for breakfast in the room for more privacy, and while we were able to do that for half the price at other hotels in Fukuoka, the staff didn't seem to understand when we asked about it. Overall, the amenities and room are really good, but service-wise, it's hit or miss.

This hotel is about 10-15 mins walking from the JR Beppu station. It is easy to find as you just walk towards the seaside until you see the Beppu Tower beside a main road, the hotel is behind it. There is a 7-11 beside the tower, and a bus stop in front of the tower, so is quite convenient. If you take the bus to visit the 7 Beppu Hells starting from the JR station and follow the sequence, i.e. Chinoike and Tatsumaki Jigokus as the last two hells, and you take the bus towards the Beppu station, you can stop directly in front of the tower, this complete a full circle of your Beppu Hell tour. I booked a seaview Japanese room and the view is great. The room is also spacious for Japanese ryokan standard. There is some minor renovation and furniture replacement done, so the room is a mixture of new and worn. There are two onsen baths in this hotel: one at the top floor, an open air onsen bath and one at third floor, which is an indoor onsen bath. The dinner and breakfast are both average though. Overall, I am quite happy with my stay here.

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Service was very good. Parking was an extra 550 yen per day. Breakfast was Japanese style but did include a bacon and egg cooked in front of each guest with the small Japanese hotpot. Our room fit 3 adults was very nice with clean modern amenities consisting of one room with two single beds, and a sizable living room with futon in the evening for the third bed. Nice view of Beppu tower in our room. Hotspring outdoor was totally enjoyable with a view of the sunrise and the Beppu Bay. Gotta be careful though because for ladies, someone in a boat at the bay might be able to see our naked upper bodies with telescope if we stand up.😅

Travel with a group of friends to Beppu but only 4 of us decided to stay at Amanek for 2 nights. This was the best decision ever as we were closed to the JR station, eateries, Tokiwa shopping mall, Donki and the beach were within walking distance. Only few staff could speak English. Those who speak Japanese only also try their best to serve the guest. I am impressed by how clean and new the whole hotel is. Best of all, I love the free flow of juices & beverages. You could also do take away in the UCC coffee disposible cup. Love the choice of either western or local breakfast with free flow of side dishes. I am surprised by how big the bedroom is and spacious bathroom. The gym equipment tho basic, are new & in good condition. The onsen is clean & modern & I love the warm rooftop pool with an awesome view! Amanek is thoughtful to provide guest with a basket to hold all your onsen needs. Upon check out, I was overcharged for my 2 days of breakfast. The staff was quick to rectify the problem & refunded me on the spot. Yes, would definitely stay in Amanek again in my next visit to Beppu! Thank you for the awesome stay!

The hotel is excellent in general. First of all, the location of the hotel is good with less than 10 minutes walk to Beppu station, there is also bus stations in front and opposite to the hotel with easy access to attractions such as Umi Jigoku, Yufuin, and Beppu Global tower. The room is clean and tidy with great views, though we are not super fans for hot spa, we enjoy it very much, yet we love the bigger pool. The hotel staff are great too, they ran out to help us to carry the luggage’s when we arrived, they also came out to collect our umbrella when we backed to the hotel as well. Finally, their breakfast is one of the best I have ever had in Japan with much variety of Oita local cuisines, while the view of the restaurant is scenic.

A very satisfactory hotel:) I didn't pay attention when making the reservation, but luckily I made the reservation at Hongkan, which is very close to the hot springs. To go to the hotel, I transferred to the free shuttle bus at Beppu Station (go out from the west exit and see it on the right before leaving). My friend and I had heavy luggage, and the shuttle bus driver actually helped us get on and off the bus. , the service is super good! ! ! move! ! The design of the hotel room is very comfortable, with wooden floors, which are cleaner than carpet floors. I like it! The style and color are also very good, and the wall-mounted design makes the space wider, which is very good! The bed is very good to sleep on. I heard it uses a medical grade mattress? Very comfortable indeed! Dinner and breakfast are buffet style. I appreciate that there is no designated meal time and you can eat at any time. It is very user-friendly! The food variety is very rich, there are enough dining places, and it is not too crowded. Overall, it is highly recommended to stay! ! ! The only drawback is that there is a smell of smelly feet as soon as you enter the changing area of ​​the hot springs @@I smelled it both times I entered. It is recommended to spray some deodorizing spray regularly.

The hot spring hotel is very new and clean. You can walk barefoot within the hotel. The service is very good. The hot spring is very comfortable. There is free coffee in the lobby, which is very considerate. The dinner is also very special. There is also a welcome drink in the room. It is very considerate and cost-effective👍🏻

Really enjoyed this unique hotel that has a mix of art, onsen, great views and decent food. The room (419) was not luxurious but was well designed, the balcony overlooked the extraordinary landscape that is Beppu, the greatest feature was the semi open-air onsen bath facilitated by the floor to ceiling windows, connected to the generous deck space. It was fun to walk around the gallery space and admire the interesting architecture, color palettes, and exhibits championing Beppu culture, landscape, flora, fauna etc. Sitting in the Peak restaurant for dinner, I was amused that one of the waitstaff was a robot that ferried food and empty dishes back and forth. Dinner was laid-back, had a window side seat that allowed me to enjoy the city glitter below. My stay here was at a fraction of another Beppu hotel on this trip, in many ways I enjoyed this place more and would not hesitate to come back.

Overall experience of staying at Seikaiso was very good. The location is close enough to the Beppu station(walking distance 10mins) and bus terminal is 2mins away. The best experience of this Ryokan is the hot springs and private bath on the rooftop. Breakfast is served per room on booking time with Japanese style breakfast. It was various dishes and delicious! The front staff/restaurant staff/general staff are all friendly and helpful. Especially at the front desk staff Urabe was amazing. He also speak good English so it was very helpful. He helped us everything what we need. 🙏🏼 We will definitely go back to Seikaiso again.

We used a train view room for 2 nights on family trips. I usually choose a hotel with a lot of word of mouth ＆ high evaluation, so I met the day with anxiety about the word of mouth of Matsubaya. It may have been low expectations, but as a result, it was all a nice inn that was more than expected, so I will write word of mouth for the first time in my life. I hope it will be a reference for anyone. First of all, I told him that I was a son of a train lover, and the lady gave me a very polite reply to the time of the train and the way to see it. The train view room looked in front of the window, and the children looked happy with the Shoji every time they heard it. There is a word of mouth that the freight train is noisy at night, and the sound is certainly good, but it was not so noisy that the children who were sleeping woke up. I really wanted to show you if I woke up because I was looking forward to the cargo in the middle of the night. SL was also very satisfied. The bath is a bit narrow as there was in other people's word of mouth. But in the morning, light came in from a lot of windows and it was a very bright and pleasant bath. The dryer was weak, but I had no problem with it because my hair was short... I stayed for two nights, but I had a completely different menu in the morning and night and enjoyed it. It was not a room meal, but I was able to relax in the tatami mats large hall. I was happy because this is a buffet hotel and there are always the same things even if I stay for 2 nights. All were very delicious! I was glad to have changed the menu a little for a 3 year old child. I didn't think I could eat ice shaving in winter, so I was impressed by the deliciousness of the child and the master. It was the best as an iron inn, and the room, the bath and the rice were very satisfied with everything. The personality of the inn was very warm and friendly. I asked you to build a rental bath, so I would like to go to stay again if I complete it.
