Beppu Hotels with Wifi

"I initially chose this place because it was designed by Tadao Ando – a raw concrete building nestled in the mountains, showcasing excellent craftsmanship. It perfectly blends nature with high technology, and a rustic feel with modern aesthetics. The room's cleanliness and facilities were, of course, top-notch. The meals truly reflected a high level of culinary skill."

"This is a popular, mid-range hot spring hotel in Beppu. I stayed here for two nights in late January this year and felt it offered incredible value for money. Having been open for less than five years, the hotel facilities are very new. This was my first time staying at a hotel where you have to take off your shoes and store them in a locker upon entering, which instantly creates a relaxing atmosphere for guests. Disposable socks are also provided in the room. Even luggage entering the hotel passes over a washable damp mat, ensuring the floors remain spotless. The hotel is conveniently located directly across the street from Beppu Station, just a 3-5 minute walk away. Tickets for the 'Hells of Beppu' hot springs can be purchased at the information center at Beppu Station, or you can simply take a bus directly to the attractions. For a day trip to Yufuin, you can catch the JR train or bus No. 36 from Beppu Station. To Fukuoka, you can take the JR from Beppu Station, or walk 10 minutes to the Beppu Shopping Mall entrance (Beppu Kitahama Airport Bus Stop) to catch an airport bus. Beppu Tower and the seaside are also only about a 12-15 minute walk away. Rooms at this hotel are notoriously difficult to book. I booked a triple room almost two and a half months in advance in early November. For the first night, I only managed to secure a 41-square-meter family room with four beds (Photo 5), which turned out to be a delightful surprise. Two beds were in the spacious living room and two in the bedroom. The bathroom was a three-piece design with both a bathtub and a bidet. Both the rooms and public areas are decorated in a simple yet elegant style, featuring artistic patterns created with bamboo weaving and silk flowers. The hotel's hot spring facilities are located on the top floor (13th floor), open from 3 PM until 10 AM the following day. There are two public baths, one for men and one for women. Access to the men's bath only requires scanning your room card, while the women's bath requires a password (provided with your room card at check-in). Additionally, there are seven private baths available for couples, families, or friends to enjoy privately, limited to 45 minutes per session. On the first day, my family queued for check-in. At 3:10 PM, we experienced three private baths: Shibaishi, Myoban, and Kankaiji (top left, top right, and bottom left of Photo 4, respectively). After 4 PM, a long queue had already formed. On the second day, we switched rooms and checked in early at 2:50 PM. At 3:05 PM, we went up and, after waiting in line for 20 minutes, only managed to enjoy Hottayu (top right of Photo 5). After dinner, we waited almost 40 minutes for Kannawa (top left of Photo 5). Screens in the guest rooms and on the 13th floor display the real-time availability of the private baths. During winter, the open-air hot springs on the high floor can be very windy, and the water temperature is relatively low, which can make your scalp tingle. The Kankaiji room is often unused, so be cautious when choosing it; in summer, it's the opposite. There's also an ocean-view lounge on the same floor, offering complimentary ice cream with four or five flavors. From 5:00 AM to 10:00 AM, Yakult is also provided, though it tends to be taken by guests after 8:30 AM. The buffet restaurant is on the first floor and is not very large. For breakfast, after 8 AM, you generally need to take a number and wait, which can take anywhere from 20-40 minutes. Breakfast costs 3000 JPY/person, and dinner is 4000 JPY/person. Personally, I found breakfast to be better value. Dinner only adds more teppanyaki beef, pan-fried snapper, and mussels, but the desserts and fruits are not as good as breakfast. From 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM, complimentary soy sauce ramen is offered. For the first half hour, there's usually a long queue, but it's really delicious. The lobby on the first floor offers 24-hour free coffee, hot chocolate, hot and cold water, and ice. Over 80% of the hotel's guests are Korean, with a good number of Hong Kong and ********* visitors as well; perhaps fewer domestic tourists were present during my visit as it wasn't yet the winter holiday season. Overall, with its excellent location, spacious rooms, fantastic private baths with great views, and good dining options, plus plenty of free perks, this hotel offers exceptional value and is highly recommended."

"A very new hotel. Room doors use touch-sensitive keypad locks; a keypad is required to open the main hotel entrance at night (as there are no staff on duty at night). The rooms are very spacious, with separate toilets and bathrooms, and handwashing facilities on both sides. The sea view is visible through the windows. It's near Beppu Tower, and next to the Temple of Peace and the breakfast area. It's only a 10-minute walk from the JR station, very convenient. Note that parking costs 500 yen to 10,000 yen. The open-air hot spring on the 11th floor is rather small."

"A quiet business class hotel located just meters outside the JR Beppu station, within close walking distance of day use onsen, shopping, and dining. While it's true they are adjacent to the elevated rail, in practice this isn't really a problem for all but the most sensitive travellers because of frequency and limited use at night."

"The hotel is located halfway up the mountain, so it's more convenient if you're driving. We booked breakfast and dinner, and the food was absolutely amazing; you definitely have to try it if you stay here. My favorite part was the private hot spring in the room. I'd come back again if I get the chance."

"## Environment: The location is very convenient, just a few minutes' walk from Beppu Station. There's a Lawson nearby and plenty of restaurants. You can walk to the beach in about 10 minutes. On the 3rd floor, there's a free hot spring. If you want to use it, you can pick up a yukata and belt from the toiletries area on the first floor. It's on a lower level, and I didn't see it at first, so I had to come back down to get it. There's a good selection of toiletries, including disposable makeup remover and facial cleanser. ## Cleanliness: The room's cleanliness was decent. The facilities were a bit old but still clean. The hot spring only had two hot pools, one cold pool, and a sauna. There was also an outdoor pool just big enough for one person. You just take off your clothes, rinse off, and then soak. However, when I was soaking, I noticed a lot of what looked like exfoliated dirt floating in the pool. The water circulation didn't seem to be very timely, so I only soaked for a short while and then left. ## Facilities: There's a washing machine and dryer, which I think cost 300 yen per use. The room has a refrigerator, but it doesn't seem to have a microwave; that's probably in a common area. It's quite quiet. ## Service: The service was very friendly. Opposite the restroom on the first floor, there's a self-service luggage storage area where you can set your own password and retrieve your belongings, which is very convenient."

"I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Beppu! The views are absolutely stunning, with rooms nestled halfway up the mountain offering panoramic sea and cityscapes. Having an open-air bath right in the room, where you can soak while enjoying the scenery, is incredibly relaxing. The hotel is within walking distance of several 'hell' attractions, which is super convenient. If you're heading to Fukuoka Airport, the airport bus stop is less than a 10-minute walk away. The service is also quite attentive. From the moment you enter, several staff members greet you, guide you to the check-in area, and then escort you to your room for a room tour. Dinner and breakfast were good; perhaps not the absolute best 'one-night, two-meals' experience I've had in Japan, but still very decent."

"Stayed at Meisong Oji Pavilion in Beppu, a Japanese-style ryokan located right by the sea. It featured traditional tatami rooms and included both dinner and breakfast, all of which were delicious Japanese cuisine. The open-air onsen was a wonderful experience. Naturally, it was on the pricier side. The location was also very convenient for transportation; we easily took a bus to visit the 'Hell Hot Springs' (Jigoku Onsen)."

"Transportation: Very convenient. It's only a 10-minute walk to JR Beppu Station. For my bus trip to Fukuoka, the bus stop (right outside Starbucks) was just a 5-minute walk from the hotel. Facilities: This is a resort-style hotel, and I was lucky enough to snag a sea-view room where the first rays of morning sun streamed directly in. The room was very spacious, more than enough for two people; it actually felt a bit large for just myself. It was approximately 10 tatami mats in size (excluding the bathroom, separate toilet, entryway, and balcony). Cleanliness: As it was a Japanese-style room, it was generally clean, but there were some small bugs. I got a few bites on my fingers and bottom, but they cleared up by the next day. Ambiance: The balcony offered a direct view of the ocean. The 260-degree sea view room was truly impressive. Service: Overall, the service was very good. The only area that needs improvement is the hot spring on the 7th floor. On the day of my arrival, I made a reservation for the hot spring with the hotel, but I didn't receive any confirmation or proof. Consequently, I didn't actually go. However, I was still charged either 1000 or 1500 yen for it at check-out. It's a small amount, so I didn't bother disputing it with the front desk, but I do think their booking and confirmation process for the hot spring needs significant improvement."

"This hotel is an annex of AMANEK YULA-RE, granting guests access to the main building's 16th-floor public bath (onsen) and 17th-floor outdoor infinity pool and Jacuzzi. **Pros:** 1. **Excellent Location:** It's just a 5-minute walk from the JR station, the bus stop for Fukuoka, and the bus stop for the Beppu Hells. The Fukuoka-bound bus station (located near a shopping mall) is also conveniently reachable within a 10-minute walk. 2. **Stunning Infinity Pool:** The infinity pool offers breathtaking views, including Beppu Tower, and is perfect for photos. Unfortunately, it rained heavily during my stay, so it was deserted during the day. The operating hours are quite reasonable, covering most of the day during my visit. 3. **Impressive Lobby & Dining:** The main building's lobby boasts an impressive design. Dining options are available on the first floor, and at 3300 JPY (approximately 160 RMB), the price is quite reasonable, comparable to what you'd expect at a star-rated hotel in China. 4. **Convenient Amenities & Services:** Shower caps and other amenities are available for collection at the front desk. Luggage storage is also provided. 5. **Spacious & Quiet Rooms:** Rooms are spacious. The hotel is quiet, ensuring a very good night's sleep."
