2-Star Hotels in Oita Prefecture, Japan

This hotel has one of the friendliest reception desk. The elderly uncle manning the front desk was most helpful. When we came back late one night and when the carpark was full. He helped arrange for us to park at the station carpark with no additional costs. And he patiently guided us to the location with a hand drawn map. The local breakfast provided was much enjoyed. Simple fare but it was filling. And it was actually quite enjoyable. Enclosed pictures of our local Japanese breakfast over the 2 days that we stayed in the hotel. The hotel is also within walking distance to the train station. And under the train station there's a supermarket which use super convenient to grab some grocery items for the stay.

I had a great stay. The owners are super lovely and will go out of their way to help you. I highly recommend the breakfast and dinners, they were great for big days of hiking and convenient as there aren't too many food options up in the mountains. The train carriages have a large sleeping area and a connected large room to store your things or just to hang out. Yes the pillows are like a bag of rice but it's part of the experience! Great place to stay and great value.

I don't know if it's because I was staying alone, but the room facilities were really great! The bed was big, there was a sofa, TV, microwave, and fridge! The bathtub was also big and nice! It felt like the largest bathtub I've seen in a Japanese hotel. For this price and room condition, I would definitely stay here again. It's super convenient as it's right in front of the station. You just need to cross one crosswalk, it feels like crossing a small alley... doesn't even take a minute! The surrounding shops close early, and it's a bit far from the main street, so it was nice and quiet at night. Even the shops on the main street all close by 5 PM! However, you might be a bit surprised when you first check-in. You just need to enter the password correctly at the front of the building and go in to check-in. There's no one there, so you might feel a bit flustered. There are stairs leading to the check-in area, so if you have a lot of luggage, I recommend leaving it downstairs, checking in first, getting your room assignment, and then moving your bags! If you get a room on the first floor, you'll have to carry them back down! I heard there's an onsen on the rooftop, but I didn't go, so I don't know. Also, they don't clean the rooms! This didn't bother me much, but they only provide enough towels for one night, regardless of whether you stay for 3 or 4 nights. They tell you to wash them in the washing machine! To use the washing machine conveniently, it's best to shower quickly, start the laundry, and then do other things. Just rinsing, spinning, and drying takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes! Also, unlike a hotel, there are no C-type or USB-type outlets in the room. You definitely need to bring an adapter. It's not like hotels where the power is weak, so I was able to use my curling iron. Since it's convenient to wash towels, I would probably use this place again if I go to Yufuin.

I booked a superior room and it was suitable for four families. The room has four bedding, a sitting table, a washbasin, a toilet, a dresser hanger, etc. There are amenities in the lobby, such as refrigerator vending machines, microwaves, etc. The sour room is not in the room, you have to use the hot spring bath. There are three hot spring baths, which can be reserved for an hour. It's just right for the family to have a hot spring together. There was a person who could speak English, so I used the facilities comfortably.

Pros: The hostel is clean and provides a drink bar with hot and cold beverages including soups. They also have mangas and a few video games provided. The room is spacious and comfortable. Cons: The location is about 10-15 mins from the Beppu station, but close to Donki Beppu and convenient stores. However, they DO NOT support early or late check-in. They asked us to leave the baggage unchecked and unattended when we arrived early. The point where we disappointed was the notification of the check-in time. Most hotels/ hostels in Japan support early or late check-in but seems like they don’t have enough staff for that. We didn’t realize the the check-in is required by 8pm. They called us around 7:10pm-ish to inform the check-in deadline time. And we tried to negotiate cuz we was very far away and was in the mountains. We called them back cuz we tried to speed up but it almost caused an accident. The answer we got was NOT SUPPORTIVE. They only said customers had to read the check-in time on the website (Trip.com) and they couldn’t wait even we said we would be late for 5-10 minutes at the fastest pace of our journey. Luckily, there was a group of customers who was checking when we arrived (20:05 pm) so we could check-in.

For those who are looking for cleanliness, the hot springs may be 〜. I felt lucky ⭐︎ with a location-oriented hot spring, so it was acceptable. There is a convenience store nearby, and the room feels very satisfied if you just sleep!

When I entered the squeeze, the staff brought me a towel and responded very kindly. First pay the bath fee [250 yen/1 person] There is a refrigerator, toilet and yukata in the cherry blossom room. There was no bath cherry blossom range in the room! The futon was warm and surprised The breakfast was a little less than other inns, so it was a cut size! Women may be a little bit painful. Hot springs are always put in front of the hot springs if you put a tag on it. It was hot and very comfortable, probably because of the source ... There is a room up to 3F, but there is no elevator, so it may be difficult for older people. I want to go again because it was really good! Thank you very much!

Simple, but great and not expensive. There was no private bathroom, but in a town like Beppu with over 100 onsen, that's hardly necessary.

Going in early February, the weather is very cold, but the atmosphere is good, there is a sauna, an outdoor onsen. But shared bathroom There is no towel provided, the location is quite difficult to travel.

Super nice hotel with onsen! I have a short stay (unfortunately) at this hotel. It was a short walk from Beppu Station, and nearby attractions also restaurant! I am having so much fun strolling around the hotel! Beppu tower is located like 5 minutes walk, the Donki store and my favourite restaurant Gusto also SUPER NEAR from the hotel! I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND AND WILL AGAIN STAY AT THIS HOTEL!
