Prefettura di Ōita, Giappone: hotel con terme

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.

Le camere sono un po' piccole, ma nella norma per gli hotel giapponesi. La posizione è ottima, a pochi minuti a piedi dalla stazione di Beppu e con molti ristoranti nelle vicinanze. Adoro il fatto che questo hotel abbia una piscina sul tetto con una vista mozzafiato su Beppu (anche se la piscina è molto bassa). Ci siamo fatti un bel bagno nell'onsen dell'hotel, ma il mio compagno ha detto che era un po' sporco nella sezione maschile. Purtroppo non abbiamo potuto usufruire dell'alcol a volontà per 1000 yen a causa del poco tempo a disposizione, ma sarebbe perfetto per gli amanti dell'alcol! Lo consiglio vivamente e ci tornerò! Personale gentile, pulito e accogliente!

Un servizio fantastico da Yoshi San di Dining, Amy di Front Desk. L'hotel è piccolo con strutture limitate, ma cercano di creare le loro attività con gli impegni degli ospiti, come l'esercizio mattinale, il bevanda gratis, l'istruzione di laboratorio di acqua, il divertimento musicale e alcuni giochi per gli ospiti di godere. Molto raccomandato.

Ho prenotato per un lunedì feriale dopo le 19:00, ho cenato all'Aeon vicino alla stazione di Yufuin e ho fatto il check-in. Non ci sono negozi nei pressi del Country Road Youth Hostel, quindi ho dovuto portarmi il cibo da casa. La sorgente termale era aperta 24 ore su 24, ma sembrava una vasca da bagno a flusso libero, quindi mi chiedevo quando avrebbero pulito la vasca. Le piastrelle della zona lavaggio erano scivolose e ho quasi scivolato e sono caduto. Al check-out, il proprietario ha suonato Country Road alla chitarra, il che è stato delizioso. I servizi includevano un asciugamano gratuito e uno spazzolino da denti da 100 yen. Era perfetto per un soggiorno di solo pernottamento. Ci ho soggiornato durante un tour e il parcheggio coperto gratuito per biciclette con cinque posti auto era molto comodo.

Questa è la mia seconda permanenza all'hotel. Perche' la posizione è molto conveniente. Molto vicino alla stazione Oita. Come altri Dormy Inn, ci sono noodles gratis a notte. Non ho avuto la possibilità di provare le loro noodles. Perche' ci sono così tanti buoni cibi a Oita / Beppu.

The overall stay experience was excellent, and I would especially like to commend Li-Ying Wu (also known as Go Reiei) from Taiwan. From the very beginning of the check-in process, she demonstrated a professional attitude by thoroughly explaining all the hotel's facilities and services. She always wore a warm and welcoming smile, which truly reflected her dedication to her work and her respect for the guests. During my stay, my family had quite a few demanding and complicated requests, requiring frequent assistance from the staff. Throughout it all, Li-Ying patiently addressed every single question without showing any sign of impatience.

Location is convenient, just next to Beppu railway station. The onsen ryokan interiors were very calming and welcoming. Staff was friendly and gracious to help. Room was spacious for Japan’s standards. There were time limits for the private onsens, but some did not and the staff could do nothing, thus it took some time to queue for our turn. The free ramen at supper time was of decent portion and taste. Breakfast was add-on, but well worth the price and definitely a highlight of the hotel. One thing to improve was the lingering urine and poop smell in all 3 elevators (equipped with an emergency lavatory). I think the staff placed one fragrance diffuser per elevator, but it was definitely not enough to cover the smell. Maybe need to replace or remove the lavatory?

Good room and onsen. Staffs are responsive, helpful and friendly. Good shuttle service. Only downside during the stay is the unusually small beef (compared to others on the same table) during teppanyaki dinner. The cook even grimaced awkwardly when he prepared the beef as it is really obvious that my portion is MUCH smaller. Otherwise meals are okay.

Отель оставил очень приятное впечатление — всё понравилось. Особенно интересным оказался опыт сна на татами на полу: для нас это было впервые и стало необычным и запоминающимся. Персонал доброжелательный и внимательный, что добавляет комфорта к проживанию. Отдельным плюсом стали онсэны — в отеле представлено несколько их видов, что делает отдых ещё более расслабляющим и атмосферным. В целом всё было отлично, смело рекомендую этот отель тем, кто хочет попробовать что-то новое и насладиться традиционной японской атмосферой.

We checked in on 15 Jan, 2026 and planned to stay at the hotel for a nite. When we arrived the railway station , we walked around for a while and got a taxi outside the railway station to the hotel without paying the fare. Probably the hotel had arranged with the taxi drivers in that area that they will pay the fare directly. The check-in procedure is easy and comfy. 2 staff lead us to our room 小樓球。It’s a very nice room with 2 private onsen. The spring water is nice and made our skin very smooth. The hotel had arranged enough drinks for us, 3 alcoholic and 3 nonalcoholic. We had our dinner at ard 7pm. The presentation of the good is very good & eye catching. However, the quality of the sashimi was not very fresh. Taste of the tuna was a bit fishy and it’s wet and found bloody water after picked it up from the dish😓. I don’t eat beef and the hotel changed the 5 pcs of wagu to 3pcs of eel which didn’t taste very well. Not sure whether they grill it or not. Also they changed the beef that served with rice to miso and I didn’t think it’s fair enough. The breakfast on the next morning was up to standard. Bread was fresh and hot. Egg and sausage were quite good. Overall, service is good but the standard of dinner made me disappointed as I had informed the hotel at least one week before check-in and I think they have ample of time to adjust the menu for me. I’ve been to some other hotspring hotels with same request of not eating beef. They had changed my menu to chicken, pork or seafood like fish or shrimp and provide the equivalent size of meat for replacement.
