Onsen Yado Hamayu Nagi - Hostel

Great place, highly recommend it

Very close to the train station, bus stops. Shops and restaurant's close by. Very helpful front desk staff.

I liked the close knit community at the hostel and how close it was to the bus lines. The manager was very nice. I think the facilities are a bit old though.

Decent enough

Bathroom has a weird smell no sheets just blankets and futons I was skeptical of the cleanliness of.

Good place. Approachable staff.

There's not a whole lot I can say that's positive about this place, other than it's cheap and in a good location (8 minutes walking to Beppu station). The building is quite old and hasn't been renovated since it was built. The word that comes to mind is 'dilapidated'. The carpet is dingy, there are stains on the wall, and the walls are paper thin. Even though I opted for a private room, I could still hear everything in the communal bathroom and hallway. I will say the tatami in the room was on the newer side, and the linens were quite clean. Also free rental bikes are provided which is a huge plus. Overall, my standards were not high given the price but even then I was a little surprised by the state of the property. I've stayed in other similarly priced hotels/hostels that were in much better shape. Also of note: this place does not provide you with a bath towel. You have to pay 50 yen per towel. I don't know why but it irks me when places do this. Just add it to the price of the room and give me a free bath towel lol. How are the bike rentals free but the bath towel is not???

We had a lovely stay at the hostel, we recommend to stay here when you are next in Beppu!

In Japan I love older hotels with tatami bedrooms, and this one was perfect. Shoji screen doors slid out on 2 sides to reveal broad windows with views of the mountains. If you like traditional interiors and don't need a trendy, polished atmosphere, I highly recommend this place. Another bonus - it's a few blocks away from the Kitahama bus terminal, great for taking inter-city highway buses

Good location, hostel in urgent need of major renovation, more and better instruction to guests so that they can take better care of facilities. Overall, we adapted to the place, which is peaceful and quiet.

The main check-in counter was in the separate building from the accommodation (this was a little odd). The kitchen wasn't very tidy. The onsen was very soothing and nice. The room was small but included a washroom and a sink, so that was convenient.

Staying here gave me a good chance to get to know a lot of new friends from all over the world. :).

Good solid hostel. A bit o the older side , but to be honest that was part of its charm. Nice and friendly. Clean. Good social atmosphere.

We checked into this hostel to get some rest after many many travel days and couch surfing. We had a room on the third floor which was super quiet and quite a large room. There was the option of a bunk bed or floor mattress/futon within the room so you could choose what you preferred. The front desk staff spoke English really well and there were signs throughout the hotel explaining how things work, also in English. They also have information at the check in desk to help you find your way around to the local sights including bus information. It was very helpful. The check in desk is located slightly up the road from the actual hostel building but it's not hard to find. Although check in wasn't until 3pm, they allowed us to leave our bags so we could explore the town from around 10.30am. On the ground floor of the building there are male and female onsens, a kitchen and a lounge room for shared use by the guests. We didn't use them, but the option was there. There's also a footspa out the front of the hostel. The twin room we booked had a private toilet and a shared shower room, located on the 2nd floor. The hostel is located within easy walking distance from the station. Just use the seaside exit of the station and walk down the street moving away from the station toward the ocean. After you pass the car park, cross the small road and continue for one more block. Turn left and continue along the street until you reach the check in building with the hostel sign on it.

the atmosphere was simply terrific. you can meet all kinds of interesting travelers easily there. those staff members were very friendly and entertaining. some guests complained about the lack of facilities, but please be fair as it's a hostel anyway. what you pay is what you get. i love this hostel after all :)

Check in counter is 1minute walk across the street. Staff were friendly in assisting us and spoke very fluent English. The glass entrance access is via passcode which I feel safe. Only house slippers allowed upon entering, which ensures the cleanliness of the place. There's separate washroom, onsen available on ground level. Even though it's a hostel, our private toilet seat is always warm! Location for shower is just next door. Quilt provided was sufficient for a room without heater, even the temperature is below 5 in the night. Wifi is extremely weak, only available at our room entrance, which make it difficult to do booking and plan for our onward journey. There's a free foot hot spring spot for everyone before the entrance, which was nice after a long day of walking!

You can meet a lot of people from different country. The room is small but ok. The onsite Onsen is wonderful. Staff are very nice and helpful.

The location was good, just a 5 minute walk from the train station. The staff were helpful and friendly. The room was clean and had an air-con which was good during the summer season.

Stayed in mixed dorm of 5; 4 beds (the couple on my lower bunk rocked the bed for a little while). I slept as well as you can in a dorm bunk bed. The place was lively and beautiful. Games and Manga Collection provided along with tea and a small kitchen.

Staff is nice ladies. One of the staff not really understand the actual sight seeing of Beppu or not willing to reply me. For example, I borrow the bicycle to go to onsen but she said it is so far. She ask me to go to tourist information for giving information. The staff of tourist information tell me to take 10 mins of bus. However, I take 20mins cycling uphill to go.
