Hotel was centrally located near the Kanawa Bus Station/Hells Pools/food steam restaurant. 10min walk from the bus station. The hotel was clean & has an onsen! Tatami rooms w/a kitchen, tiny bathroom (ship size). It is an older hotel, but it was perfect for us. The young man running the hotel was so nice and pleasant. We had a slight translation issue but used our google translate. Perfect area and close to the main sights. 20 min to JR Beppu station by bus from the Kanawa Bus Station. We arrived at the Beppudaigaku Station (walk across the street to get the local bus to Kanawa bus station 15min ride). The hotel is older but was perfect to experience a real ryokan (tatami floor & futons). Sauna & onsen on 1st floor. 7-11 across from Kanawa bus stop. This hotel is not in the city center of Beppu, but in the outskirts. But walkable to the sights. Take a bus to Yufuin-50 min from Kanawa station. Rate is super reasonable (we stayed 4 nights). I chose this location becuz I wanted to be near the Hells pools. Excellent location, rate, clean...perfect for us and we have stayed at the Tokyo Station hotel, so we know what the difference is and was perfectly satisfied with this property.
Excellent location for onsen enthusiasts with all necessities of daily life around the corner from the supermarket to the soba restaurant. Friendly and helpful receptionist with smooth check-in and check-out. Great value for short and long term stays.
Staying this hotel for 2 days was the best decision I made.it's really convient to go to spots and bus station and supermarket.and it's also quite at night and had good sleep.Manager is also very very friendly and warm,I can speak Japanese not too much,but when I was confused we can communicate throught translate apps.We talked much and gave me lots of information.I wish I could come here again.
真是一个宝藏旅店,去哪里都很方便,还刚好因为供热系统出现了问题,送了去葫芦温泉的票(这个地方算是当地最大的温泉场所了,所以之前也计划自己前往体验,小路过去步行也就3分钟。经理也非常热情有耐心,虽说他自己说不太擅长英语,但是也不必太担心,翻译软件也能帮你搞定一切的)。高层就能直接看到别府湾真是很棒的。
