Hotels in Beppu with sea view​

"For my winter break trip to Japan, I continued exploring Kyushu, specifically Beppu and Yufuin. In Beppu, I stayed at this established onsen hotel. It wasn't expensive, and when I booked, it was the last room available. I kept checking countless times to see if a larger room would open up, but none did. My husband, due to his state-owned company job, couldn't travel, so it was just me and my son, which ended up being perfectly fine. The hotel initially even set up three futons for us in the tatami room. The onsen was very relaxing. There were a lot of Korean guests at the hotel; I noticed them all at breakfast. Our room had a sea view, which I really liked. For housekeeping, they only offer free cleaning on the third day if you stay for three consecutive nights. Otherwise, it costs 3000 yen per cleaning. We figured it wasn't worth it since we didn't have much trash anyway, and I didn't bother making the bed. The hot springs also offered sea views, though we only used them at night. Soaking in them before bed was incredibly comfortable and relaxing. Breakfast was a buffet with a good variety of local Kyushu dishes. I ate there for two days straight and didn't get tired of it. In terms of transportation, it's about a 100-meter walk from the Beppu bus terminal if you're coming from Fukuoka. The JR station is also only about a 10-minute walk away, which is very convenient. Overall, I think it offers pretty good value for money."

"A newly opened small tourist hotel, where the guests are mainly Japanese. The hygiene is good, but the location is far from the city center and not close to the beach. It is inconvenient if you don't have a car. Maybe there were more Japanese customers, so the staff didn't speak English at all, so communication was difficult. What’s more outstanding is that there is a hot spring not far away, which is divided into private family pools and public pools. You need to make an appointment at the store for the private family pool, and you usually have to wait for a long time. You can make an appointment and go back at the appointed time."

"I booked this hotel specifically for the private onsen in the room. When I first turned on the water, there was a strange smell, and I noticed some floating particles, which was quite off-putting. However, I later realized it was the natural sulfur smell of the hot spring, and the particles were inherent to the onsen water itself (as explained in the brochure), which put my mind at ease. The hotel environment is fantastic. The breakfast and dinner menus were different each of the two nights, which was wonderful. The food alone made it worth the price; it's the best value-for-money onsen hotel I've ever stayed at. It was my favorite part of the entire Kyushu trip! I definitely want to come back again in the winter."

"Pros: ”I booked a room with a stone bathtub, but in the end, I didn't use it because I went to the communal onsen instead, which was absolutely wonderful. I also really liked the drinking water dispenser provided in the room, allowing me to get refills throughout the day. The food was delicious, and the staff provided excellent service.” Cons: ”The only area I would like to suggest for improvement is the breakfast. There was no coffee served, and I didn't quite understand why guests need to pay extra just to have coffee. I believe it would be much better if you could at least provide basic black coffee for your guests.”"

"The hotel's location is a bit out of the way. The ocean view from the room was okay, I guess. You're required to take off your shoes when entering the hotel, but they don't even provide disposable slippers, so the service is pretty mediocre. The front desk staff also had a very unenthusiastic attitude during check-in. The hotel tries to project an image of being very clean and upscale, but honestly, the cleanliness of the guest rooms was just average; the toilet wasn't even wiped clean and had stains."

"This hotel has it all, even a water filter for drinking water, not to mention a whole box of laundry detergent for washing clothes, and a drying rack on the balcony. On the first floor, there's a lobby with a variety of free drinks. The breakfast on the top floor is also incredibly rich, costing about 250 NTD per person. The curry rice, miso soup, tamagoyaki, and side dishes are abundant. We even ordered a grilled meat set meal for dinner, which was luxurious and affordable. I honestly suspect the owner doesn't care about costs, just wants guests to enjoy themselves. There are also parking spaces at the entrance. The rooftop restaurant offers over a 250-degree view of the beach, ocean, and nightscape, which is absolutely beautiful. Nearby, you can take a walk along the beach and enjoy Beppu Onsen. The Beppu Observation Deck at night is also stunning, and it's more than just a traditional observation deck: * 17F: Observation deck, observation deck cafe, light installations, Beppu Tower Shrine * 16F: Observation deck, Galaxy Walk, and other illuminated spaces * 5F: Sky & Light Terrace, mid-level observation deck, also with BBQ/Sauna facilities * 4F: Karaoke * 2F: Beppu Art Museum * 1F: Restaurant CREOLE CAFE"

"The hotel room is big and they do offer light breakfast and free parking. There is a public onsen opposite the hotel (around 3-5 mins walk) where the hotel will provide free public onsen vouchers that can be used there. Only downside is that the shower room is not heated so it's a bit cold to walk in initially."
