1 minute walk from Beppu Station. Opening on October 17, 2023!
"First off, the hotel's location is excellent, right next to Beppu Station, making it super convenient to get around, and there are tons of dining options nearby.
The hotel breakfast was one of the best I've had in Japan – very extensive. However, it can get crowded on weekends, so you might have to queue. In the evenings, they offer a complimentary bowl of soba noodles, which taste great, but again, be prepared for a potential wait.
The onsen facilities are good. The private baths are always full and require queuing, but there are several public pools available, and the hygiene is fine. After a soak, you can enjoy free ice cream while taking in the night view.
The room's cleanliness and amenities are satisfactory, though the window only opens a crack, and there's no real view to speak of.
The hotel has a very high occupancy rate, with many Korean guests, so there's a good chance you'll encounter queues for everything during peak hours.
Upon entering, you need to take off your shoes and store them at the entrance. Whether that's an inconvenience or a convenience is a matter of personal preference.
Overall, the impression is good, and the Japanese staff's service attitude is impeccable. However, considering the price, I wouldn't say it offers exceptional value for money."
