Where to stay in Beppu
Beppu hotels & accommodations

We arrived late at night and could not locate the hotel route. As we happened to be outside a police station, the police on duty immediately came to our rescue and pointed us to the right way, about 10 - 12mins walk with our luggage. A nice and safe start to our Beppu vacation. We are grateful for the patience and understanding of Kamenoi Hotel's staff on duty on 11...

I love the stay. Although this hotel is quite more expensive than other hotels in Beppu and located quite far from the Beppu station, you will not regret once you get there. There is a free shuttle bus service and the driver was really polite. The room is unbelievably huge and perfect clean. The view was great. You can see city, mountain and ocean at the same time. Two...

for those taking buses to beppu this is the best location. Bus from yufuin stop right in front of the hotel. Bus stop to fukuoka is just across the road outside Starbucks but have to take the stairs underpass across. Beppu station is just 7-8 mins walk away. Visit the tourist information centre for discount to entrance fee. Buffet breakfast at JPY500 is cheap but I did...

The hotel itself is located pretty far from the main part of Beppu. We had rented a car during our trip to Japan so this wasn't a big problem for us, but I would figure that people without a car would have to get a cab to get to the hotel. Aside from the location, other aspects of the hotel are just wonderful. At check-in, we were welcomed by the staff with warm to...

When you step into the hotel, it’s almost as nice as the pictures that are online. I love the modern/traditional fusion Japanese design of the hotel and the cleanliness of the hotel. Things also look very new, so we felt very comfortable using all the facilities at the hotel and everything in the room. I also love the view of Beppu from the hotel/hotel room(I got a 2...

In my room, the TV didn't work well but I just didn't ask the staff to fix it because I didn't need it. What I loved the most from this hotel was nice ocean view from the room and spa area. I would definitely recommend this place to people who'll visit Beppu. Also, it's pretty close from Beppu station(10mins by foot) and located right next to Beppu Tower so it's very e...

It's tricky to get a good Ryokan hotel in Beppu since the good ones are typically very expensive. This hotel is reasonably priced, without compromising too much on the stuff you hoped for. Amazing ocean view from the rooms. Excellent staff. Hot spring (onsen) outdoor, indoor and also private (by booking on arrival). Each room also have hot sprint water in the bathrooms...

The hotel location is superb as it is just a 5 mins walk from Beppu station. As you may take all kinds of transport from Beppu station, Daiiti hotel can be a good base for you. The hotel is extremely clean and new. Room is small but just nice for a couple. All the basic amenities are complete and they even provide us with towel, shampoo and shower gel to go to Onsen ! ...

It was my first experience in Ryokan and it's turn out very impressive in Seikaiso. It is better than I expected that other comment are say this hotel is dated but I found myself this hotel clean and look like it has been renovated. What I like the most is rooftop private onsen that you may soaked yourself in a warm water whilst overlook toward ocean, what's a great ex...

This is a very nice hotel. The rooms are big and clean. The window can be widely open for fresh air. Magnificent view for sun rise on the roof top hot water tub. The hotel prepared a baby crib for our little baby which was very considerate. Breakfast was with slight variety each day. The hotel is near to 2 big department stores which is very convenient for us to prepar...

We had best stay in this ryokan from our whole Japan trip. The location is so convenient, close to JR station, beach, bus stops, shops, restaurant and everything else. The onsen is good and there is free unlimited coffee and teas (green, black and chinese) in level 2 and 3. There is big lounge with shelf full of mangas for guest to relax and enjoy quiet time after all...

Near to Beppu station, 5 minutes walk. Provides free tea bag, coffee machine with few selection of coffees and other kitchen facilities. Even though I booked only a doubke decker bed, I was enjoying the whole room since nobody is sharing the other bed. They allowed you to put yr luggage in the locker for free though you have checked out. Good one. No towel is provide...

We took Kamenoi bus from beppu station west exit to Umijikokumae bus stop (330yen), then cross the road and walk to the right (downhill). Then you will find entrance of Oniyama Hotel. There is also another entrance at the opposite side of hotel if you leave the bus at Kannawa bus stop. The staff can speak english very well. Our room is 'Japanese Style Room with Privat...

The staff and price for this hotel were wonderful. However, the hotel is not good for English speaking visitors since communication is difficult. We wanted to reserve dinner at the last minute, but no. You can't. We tried to reserve dinner for the following day and were told the price was about 6,300 yen per person, but we were not given a menu for options. If I a...

I was at Beppu for two nights. First night we stayed in an onsen resort, second night we thought to stay at somewhere more down to earth near to locals, so we got a room in this guesthouse with futon. When we reached the guesthouse, there were no staffs around, only a few other guests at the outdoor common area. There was no notice board or anything to inform us regar...

Great place to stay in, wonderful scenic location in Beppu with wonderful facilities like private onsen and great breakfast selection a 7km to 9km away from Beppu station so we had to use the shuttle and taxi but the shuttle service driver was a very nice gentleman, he dropped us off the one of the Beppu hells even if its not in his assigned stops Great customer servic...

A nice recently renovated 4-storey suburban guesthouse with a warm and comfy wooden interior design. The cozy and comfortable family rooms are simple tatami with balcony, with amenities such as futons, air-con/ heater, TV, a small table and chairs, refrigerator, kettle, safe box, wash basin and a restroom. Do buy and bring your own towels. We stayed for a week to enjoy...

Great experience, the room was very tidy and the staff was extremely helpful. Even though we stayed on the ground floor we had no issues whatsoever. Food was good too especially the chicken pot. Both dinner and breakfast using local ingredients was a dining experience. The onsen tub could have been a bit bigger, and make sure you don't check in too late to get a ca...

The hostel is located in the dimly lit grids of the Beppu area, which is quite common in Japan. But could be hard to foreginers to find their way when the streets names are not well idenitified. Despite this, it is located in near the coast and you can grab dinner and necessary groceries from a nearby convenience store easily.

The location is very close to the main beppu station but to get there is best to take a parallel street if you have big luggage and want to get there by foot which is totally possible. The staff is very professional and nice. While they clean from 10 ish to 3pm guest are advised to leave the guesthouse but you can use the onsen all night long! it's a small onsen but it...

I stayed at Beppu Guest House for only one night. I arrived late in the evening. Be sure to arrive before 22:00 as the doors are locked and staff is away. When I arrived, the staff member was very helpful. She explained everything I needed to know about the facility and helped me to pick an onsen for that late of the evening (arrived at 20:00). The rooms are as they ar...

The hotel is very nice. good location not far from beppu station less than 10 minute walk. the room is clean. the bath room is onsen type, so you can use for free onsen. The hotel provide towel, soap, shampoo and even t shirt and trouser for sleep. Beppu is an intereting city. There are many onsen and hot spring. The road to Yufuin is also very beautiful, you can go t...

super easy to find location, cheap price, and average facility (what you pay is what you get). the room is not so clean, and I can smell cigarette scent (no problem for me, but maybe for someone else: yes). the toilet in my room is so old it can't make the tissue paper disappeared. electricity socket is bathroom didn't work. women's communal bath is quite small (bu...

You can goes to their sister hotel and enjoy the Onsen available for free and buffet breakfast also are good with 700 yen. Hi...

Its location was somewhat far from the city center but it was very close to some famous places and convenience store. Manager was kind enough to recommend us a good hot springs and places to eat(which was a success). Wifi was a little slow but not the biggest problem.

The hotel is very near to the beppu station. The Beppu station has supermarkets , shops and restaurants in it. It is also the final stop for the local bus and a stop for the train. It has an i centre as well . From here u can buy tickets to the hell and yufuin . The hotel room is clean and comfortable. Staff is helpful and polite . Only problem is check in time is ve...

I chose this hostel because it is close to the Hell Onsen pilgrimage site. But finding the accommodation was not easy. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Seaweed soup, egg roll, salad, fish and Nato were prepared for breakfast. It was a very delicious and healthy breakfast for myself who does not like sushi. There was window in the room of the second floor,...

Apparently I was the only one in the hotel. It was very scary as I was alone and female. The place was very poorly maintained, dirty, smell of cooked food, spiders and insects. It's actually not a hotel; it's an Inn. Because of the above condition, I didn't sleep the whole night and had the lights on the whole night with music for the whole night as well. This is al...

Slightly far from Beppu station but its located just beside a small department store as well as with convenience stores and some local restaurants at a working distance. I was satisfied with the room except the smoking room that was unprepared upon my check-in.

room 310 is quit noisy all night with water pump or something like that. room 312 is like a storage room that never been used with a narrow window. don’t let mister manager put you there ;) Staffs are nice and friendly, hot spring bath is dated and only simple hot spring, temperature is good. Thanks for free coffee 15.00-19.00

The hotel is located near Beppu tower, right at the heart of Beppu downtown and thus it was very convenient for us to go anywhere in Beppu. The room we booked was quite small, the bath tub looked stained but I guess it has something to do with the hot water coming directly from the hotsprings. We loved the yukata provided. If you enjoy simple traditional Japanese setti...

Onsenkaku is locate near the hells in Beppu. Rather far away from the train station and Beppu downtown, however in a nice district of the city.

Special is the house owned outdoor onse...

Beppu is a nice small city I don't know about sightseeing except hotel by the seaside which can be reach within 10 minute walk from station.
I have been in Tanayu onsen and it is very fun for me, everything is comfortable and you can get a great night view in here.
1/ Not much happening at night (you'd better off to stay at Kokura) 2/ The hells were OK but not great 3/ Onsens etc are quite enjoyable however
facilities at the Hot Sand Spa on the Beach at Beppu is very good but too small and facilities not well managed.
If you find yourself on Kyushu, this is a nice area to visit. It's a nicer place to stay than Beppu -- a nice, modern city on a small scale with many conveniences.
Beppu boasts the highest amount of hot spring water in Japan. Yufuin is famous as one of the best hot-spring resorts in Japan.
We had a great time at Beppu-onsen. very ralaxing when stay in this city. there are many onsen ,There are many onsen separate baths for men and women.
Beppu is an oldish town with time worn structures. It is a much slower pace than Hakata and Yufuin that we visited.
