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."

"First of all, I would like to extend special thanks to the hotel for their cooperation, and especially to Mr. Ninomiya from the hotel for his tremendous assistance, which made my partner and I experience a truly romantic and unforgettable time. The hotel staff spoke good English and were very friendly. The environment was tranquil and clean, the hot springs were excellent, and the view from the room I booked was absolutely superb. If I have the chance to visit Beppu for a vacation again in the future, I will definitely return and will also recommend it to my friends."

"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."

"I just realized I didn't take any photos! The hotel's location is pretty good; it's right off the main road, just a short turn into a smaller street. It's very close to the JR station, where the tourist information center is located. You can buy 'hell' tickets and bus day passes there. If you're taking the bus to Kumamoto, the stop is right across the street, in front of Lawson. Don't be alarmed when you enter the hotel and see a cafe – the front desk is right beside it, inside the cafe. You can store your luggage there. Japan now mostly has self check-in, but the front desk staff will assist you. They'll give you information about the hotel. After checking in, you'll grab a black bag containing towels yourself. If you need anything else, you can pick it up from the table nearby. They don't offer cleaning service for stays less than five days, which I found a bit inconvenient – having to do some chores even when on vacation! Every day, you put your trash bin outside your door, and hang used towels outside the door. When you return in the evening, the trash bin will have a clean bag and you bring it back in. For towels, remember to pick up a new black bag from the first floor when you come back; I initially thought they'd also be hung outside, but they weren't. For check-out, I used the self-service machine. Just insert your room card into the machine for it to be collected, and you're all set. The hotel itself is quite clean, and there's a hot spring available, though I didn't go as I'm not a big fan."

"The hotel is right next to Beppu Tower, and Beppu Station is also very close. It looks really nice at night. There are two supermarkets nearby, which is convenient for buying food, and it's also easy to get to several hot springs. I'm writing this review a long time after my stay, so I've forgotten if there was a hot spring in the hotel itself."

"Located in a hot spring town right by the sea, this hotel perfectly combines both experiences, allowing guests to soak in hot springs with ocean views. We booked the half-board plan. The food variety was extensive, though not particularly gourmet or refined. While you could tell thought was put into the dishes, the taste was only average. The room itself was very spacious and comfortable. It offered the most comfortable night's sleep I had in Japan; the tatami room felt incredibly cozy, almost like Doraemon's inviting space. The entire place was clean and tidy. Our room also featured a private soaking tub with a lovely sea view."

"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."

"The room and the Onsen were EXACTLY like those in the listing and were absolutely stunning! The breakfast was delicious and the range more than adequate. The location is good if you drive but is about 1km walk to Beppu Tower and a bit more from the night street. But I’d happily trade that for the spacious room and the wonderful sea and sunrise view."

"The hotel is very close to JR Beppu Station. The staff all speak fluent English, making communication a breeze. The room was clean, and the hotel was beautifully decorated. I'll definitely stay there next time. Free coffee is available all day. The breakfast is Japanese style."

"The Seawave Hotel offers great value for money. The proximity to Beppu Station is a huge plus with free parking! We used self automated check in and out hence can’t really review service of the hotel; the room, while compact, was very clean and had everything we needed. A solid choice for a comfortable and convenient onsen stay in Beppu."
