“Stunning sea views while soaking in our onsen.”
Sea view rooms with an onsen were amazing. Western style room was much larger than the Japanese style. Location was great, close to the station and restaurants.

I book the room with a pottery bath and it is facing the sea that you can see the sunrise. In top of that they have an open air public bath that you can use to see the beautiful sunrise as well.

“Great stay with relaxing amenities.”
The room is super spacious. We had a big space for the living room, the bath is massive with a private onsen, shower area and a separate toilet. All amenities come with it are so good, they have yukata for wearing indoor, shampoo, body wash etc and the beds are super comfy. The staffs are so friendly and accommodate, thanks to them I knew of Beppu Hells and planned my trip there accordingly. The private onsen is a super big plus if you're shy and don't want to go to public bath.

“Very comfortable stay, huge room, close proximity to seafront.”
Great location - 2 mins walk to the seafront. Property is in an older building but well maintained. Parking available at the hotel. Were lucky to get the last spot! Staff rushed out to help. Huge room with a mix of traditional tatami flooring, Japanese table/chairs and regular comfortable beds. They had a water dispenser in the room which was helpful. They have a hot spring bath at the hotel though we didn’t make use of it. Good value for money for a 1 night stay.

“Fantastic stay. Would love to drop by again!”
Booked a room with sea view and it was superb! Sunny in the day and it was very helpful in drying our clothes. Room was super spacious and comfortable. Two toilets - one with toilet bowl and basin; one with onsen bathtub with sea view. Breakfast was very good and sumptuous. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Onsen was great! 1 indoor warm onsen, 1 indoor cold onsen and 1 outdoor warm onsen.
