The hotel's location is fantastic, making it very convenient for both transportation and shopping. The express bus terminal is also nearby. To reach the front desk, simply exit Oita ZR Station North Exit, turn right, go through a small door, and take the elevator up to the 8th floor. Check-in is available from 2 PM. Our room was quite spacious, located at the end of the hallway and featuring large windows on two walls. Unfortunately, they were sealed shut, preventing ventilation, but the air conditioning worked perfectly. The entire hotel was very clean. Despite our three-day stay, the staff promptly replaced our yukata and towels, provided bottled water, and offered warm, attentive service throughout. Breakfast was both plentiful and exquisitely presented, featuring beautiful seasonal Japanese bento boxes. Vending machines and ice makers are conveniently located on floors such as 11 and 14. Across from the front desk, complimentary toiletries and skincare products are available for guests to take as needed. The onsen was spotless and well-maintained, with excellent service. We absolutely loved the convenience of being able to dine directly after our bath. Soaking in the top-floor bath while enjoying the panoramic city views was incredibly relaxing.
Absolutely a 5-star review! It's very close to the JR station. The guy at the front desk was incredibly thorough, helping with travel advice and even translating Chinese attractions into Japanese so I could find them on G-Maps. Breakfast was outstanding, with many ingredients sourced from Oita. The large public bath on the rooftop was also great, offering a fantastic viewing spot and an excellent place to watch the sunrise ๐ . Staying in Beppu this time and exploring nearby was definitely the right choice.
The Grand Mercure Beppu Bay Resort offers spacious, clean rooms and excellent service, with staff who communicate well in English. The lounge is a highlight, providing complimentary snacks and drinks, including alcohol, though seating can be limited during busy times. Breakfast was average and could be improved, especially considering the price.
The hotelโs location is a bit far from Beppu downtown, which may be inconvenient for those wanting frequent city access. Parking spaces are also limited, which can cause some difficulty if returning late at night. Despite these drawbacks, the overall stay was enjoyable, thanks to the comfortable rooms and attentive staff.
Quiet, Very clean and well located in Beppu, 1min from the sea side and 3 min from all the busses!
Everything was so easy and people were very nice. Also there is a kitchen if you wanna cook

This hotel is perfectly located right in the heart of Beppu's Hells, with attractions literally on its doorstep. All five Hells (Jigoku) are within a 3-5 minute walk, which is incredibly convenient!
While the hotel's exterior is unassuming, its interior is a hidden gem. The Japanese garden in the common areas is beautiful. Our room was spacious with a great view, allowing us to see the steam rising from the Hells. Plus, having a private onsen in the room meant we could soak to our heart's content! We even had the large public bath all to ourselves during our visit.
The Teppanyaki set meal we booked was a good experience, though we wished there was a little more meat.
We specifically requested Japanese-style breakfast when booking, but for some reason, we were given Western-style instead. When we inquired, the staff informed us that it couldn't be changed.
On a very positive note, it was our wedding anniversary trip, and the hotel thoughtfully prepared a small gift and took commemorative photos for us โ a very nice touch! Aside from these minor issues, everything else was fantastic.
The only real downside was the hotel's shuttle service to the station. While they offer it, the last departure is strictly before 11 AM. If you miss it, you have to take a taxi. It feels a bit inconvenient to offer a service with such a limited timeframe. For instance, we visited the Hells in the morning and ended up leaving the hotel after 11 AM, so we had to take a taxi to the JR station. An improvement here would be much appreciated!
Overall, my husband, who was visiting Japan for the first time, said it was an excellent Japanese onsen hotel experience. He gives it a big thumbs up!
This is the best value-for-money onsen hotel I've stayed at in Japan so far. The location is excellent, just a two-minute walk from the station. The minibar in the room comes with two white peach jellies, and they offer complimentary noodles in the evening. After a hot spring bath, you can grab ice cream at night and lactic acid drinks in the morning. The value for money here is truly outstanding!
Hotel facilities, environment, service attitude, food,
They are all over five stars.
The only drawback is that the location is not very convenient.
Because it takes 6 to 10 minutes to walk from the station.
Would more recommend self-drive tour more convenient!
If you would choose one night two meals,
I really have to solemnly explain to everyone.
Request at Gahama's own Japanese restaurant. Kappo Matsuhide.
This Japanese restaurant is super delicious, the service attitude is super good!
And the other building. Harumi. Japanese cuisine. Xuan. really bad
The staff service attitude is very good, but eat more hastily.
The food cooking tastes also relatively poor! Choose carefully!
The hotel is conveniently located, about a 10-minute walk from Beppu Station, just down the alley from Takegawara Onsen. It's surrounded by restaurants, convenience stores, and shopping malls, and is close to the beach and Beppu Tower. Takegawara Onsen offers a sand bath, but I didn't try it again because I'd already tried it in Ibusuki. This is a very traditional Japanese-style hotel, with relatively large tatami rooms. The facilities appear dated, but they are very clean. There are no private showers, so you need to use the communal baths (sitz baths and hot springs). The hotel also has private baths available for reservation and a fee. Daily housekeeping is not included, so you need to leave your trash at the door each day, where it will be collected by staff. Towels and bathrobes are provided for the two days before your stay, and you can pick them up at the front desk if you need more. Since there's no room service, the bed isn't made, so you have to make it yourself. I initially thought it would be a little awkward, but it was surprisingly easy to adapt to. There is a laundry room, which costs 300 yen for unlimited use during your stay, but there are only two washers and dryers, and there's a queue during peak hours. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, answering all my questions. Breakfast is a set meal, and the restaurant staff are also very friendly. The meals are different every day during the three-day stay, which is a plus! Beppu is really comfortable and relaxing. I hope to have the opportunity to come again in the future~

Second hotel visited.
The facilities are just a neat ryokan hotel that is a bit old.
1 small bath and 1 larger bath in another building (This is a place where not only guests but also outsiders come to take a bath, free for overnight guests)
There is also an open-air bath.
However, breakfast and dinner are buffet style, and there are many kinds of food and the quality is very, very good. So, I went back to the hotel for the buffet.

KKYUNGROKFirst of all, the staff were so kind that I felt really good the whole time I was staying at the accommodation. ใ ใ
I was worried that it would be too cold to sleep in the room that included a private hot spring, but I turned on the heater and slept so it was so hot that I slept with the window open. ใ ใ
GGuest UserIt was a ryokan that children loved and adults enjoyed as well. The location was good and although the open-air bath was not very large, it was a great temperature that children could enjoy.

LLiangdianshixiawudeshijianThe hotel is super easy to get to, right near Beppu's hot spring street! The front desk staff were warm and attentive. We opted for the Kaiseki dinner, and it was fantastic โ so many different dishes, all delicious, served one after another. It felt very ceremonial and enjoyable. Our server was an older lady who spoke excellent English, which was really impressive and showed great dedication to her job. Breakfast was also good, a full Japanese-style spread, and we left completely satisfied. Oh, and the room was Japanese style with all tatami mats, and the view from the window was lovely. Sipping tea while looking at the distant mountains was truly a relaxing and delightful experience.
MM643078****We booked for a Saturday night, and while it was a bit pricey, the overall experience was superb. I'd definitely recommend staying for two nights next time. Having previously stayed in a panoramic ocean-view room, this time I opted for a room with mountain and city views. It was truly enjoyable to take in the evening mountain scenery, with the distant city lights twinkling like stars and a faint glimpse of the ocean, all from the spacious balcony. Both breakfast and dinner were excellent, and the natural hot spring was a huge plus. Almost perfect!
