Absolutely fantastic! Highly recommended it to anyone going to Beppu. The location is very convenient, right next to Beppu Station. It's easy to get there from anywhere. The family room has four single beds with a partition in the middle, and the whole family agreed that this was the best hotel we stayed at during our entire trip to Kyushu. The breakfast offers many options, and in the evening, there are ramen and ice cream. Although we didn't have time to wait for the private hot spring, the public baths were very satisfying! There are both outdoor and indoor baths, allowing us to completely relax after a tiring day. This hotel is definitely a must-stay when visiting Beppu.
Excellent hotel! I originally planned to stay at a traditional onsen hotel in Beppu, but I stumbled upon this one, saw great reviews, and decided to give it a try. I was extremely satisfied! The breakfast was the most lavish and delicious I had during my 9-day trip to Japan. It was absolutely divine!
In the evenings, complimentary welcome drinks are offered (alcoholic beverages incur a 1000 yen charge). You can borrow yukata from the front desk. There's a large public bath on the 14th floor, and the rooftop features a terrace pool and a bar, offering stunning night views of Beppu Tower, perfect for photos. Just note, the pool is quite shallow and not really suitable for serious swimmers.
The bathroom layout is well-designed with a separate wet and dry area, and the shower space is very spacious.
Its prime location is another major plus, just a 10-minute walk to JR Beppu Station.
I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Beppu!

Dinner and breakfast : all food was cold because half of the food (about 4-5 small dishes and main) was placed at my table before i went to the restaurant. The servant pushed me to eat faster as the second half (the rest 4-6 small dishes) was put on table when i just started the first half. Quite disappointing. Supposed dessert shd be served after meal, The servant even placed it when i still had 4-5 dishes not finished. Annoying.
Hot spring : opening hour was acceptable but there was no view to the beautiful scene at all. Quite disappointing too. The bamboo screen was too enclosed, making me just looking the few plants there. When comparing with Naha, there’s only one type of hot spring and was too traditional.
Room : it’s not large as expected.
Location: not far from JR/bus station but away from main street to one and only one spot - the lake
Conclusion : too expensive when considering the bad dining experience . Not very recommended
This is an older hotel, and while the decor and furnishings show their age, everything is functional and well-maintained. It's a good option if you don't mind a slightly dated aesthetic.
**Pros:** The location is incredibly convenient, with plenty of restaurants nearby that stay open late. The hotel has an elevator, and parking is free. A very generous buffet breakfast is included, and there's also a large public bath. A significant bonus is its ability to accommodate large families, even groups of up to ten people!
This is the most comfortable hot spring hotel I have ever stayed in. Although the location is more remote, but quite quiet, there is a feeling of being away from the hustle and bustle, I like it, is a good place to relax the mind and body, the room's private hot spring is very beautiful, facing the green mountain view, like taking a natural bath.
Dinner and breakfast were commendable, Western and Japanese fusion cuisine, very delicious
Also very good is that the toilet and shower are separate, but there is a little disadvantage, the toilet light is automatically sensed, if no one is moving, will think no one is in that place will automatically turn off the light, but if you do not move when using the toilet, the light will also suddenly turn off, a little scared
The room wasn't huge, but we still had ample space to open our suitcases.
**Cleanliness**: Japanese hotels consistently uphold incredibly high standards of cleanliness!
**Facilities**: The large public bath was a definite bonus! The rooftop open-air onsen, a genuine carbonated hot spring, was incredibly relaxing. Soaking there while idly gazing at the distant harbor was pure bliss.
**Location**: The surrounding area offered fantastic convenience for exploring, with an abundance of shopping and dining options that catered to every preference.

## Yufuin Sansuikan - A North Kyushu Trip
We took a bus from Beppu to Yufuin. The JR station is conveniently located directly across the street from the Beppu Hatto Hotel. From there, you can walk through the JR station's waiting area to bus stop #1. Bus #36 takes you directly to Yufuin. The fare is 1100 JPY; you take a numbered ticket when you board and pay upon exiting. Buses are frequent, and the journey takes approximately an hour.
Upon arrival, the hotel is an easy 10-minute walk using Google Maps.
For an alternative, the renowned Yufuin no Mori train also runs from Beppu to Yufuin, though advance reservations are highly recommended if you wish to experience it.
Standard check-in time at Japanese hotels is 3 PM. Guests can drop off their luggage first and then explore Yufuin.
Yufuin Sansuikan boasted the largest room among the four hotels we stayed at during this trip, though its decor was also the most dated. Online, I saw prices for the hotel exceeding 4,000 RMB per night during Chinese New Year, which is incredibly poor value for money. Honestly, even at the price we paid, I found it a bit overpriced.
Due to North Kyushu's proximity to Korea, there's a significant presence of Korean tourists, particularly noticeable in Yufuin. Overall, my impression was that North Kyushu primarily attracts Korean, *********, Hong Kong, and Shanghainese visitors.
The hotel's public onsens are located on the first and second floors; there are no private baths. The women's bath rotates, being on the second floor in the evening and the first floor in the morning. The first-floor onsen is slightly larger than the second, and both feature outdoor rotenburo (open-air baths).
Complimentary refreshments are available from 3 PM until 10 AM the following day, including a selection of beverages, ice cream, snacks, tea, and coffee. Beer and other alcoholic drinks are also offered in the evenings.
In summary, Yufuin Sansuikan is generally an average option. It could be considered if you need a place to stay for one night in Yufuin.

Nice hotel. Room is very spacious and we enjoyed the outdoor onsen facilities. We only tried the breakfast & the food was good. Was very disappointed that our paid kaiseki dinner was cancelled due to our late arrival. We tried contacting the hotel in advance via trip apps to inform that we will be late ( we lost gps signal & got lost driving on the way to yufuin) but did not receive any response. When we were near the hotel, received a message from hotel that our dinner was cancelled. Tried speaking to hotel but to no avail, they also refuse our request to take the dinner on another day.
The hotel is conveniently located right next to Oita Station, making it extremely easy to get around. In the evenings, the hotel provides complimentary ramen. Additionally, the supermarket within AMU PLAZA, located right at the station, offers discounted food items before closing. Overall, staying here makes dining, accommodation, and transportation incredibly convenient.
I've stayed at Beppu Kamenoi Hotel multiple times, and it consistently delivers a great experience. The hotel is quite large. While it's an older property and some of the facilities show their age, it's very well-maintained and impeccably clean. The hotel's onsen (hot springs) are a major highlight – absolutely fantastic for melting away fatigue. Inside the hotel, there are several restaurants, all serving delicious food at reasonable prices. Its location is superb, just a few minutes' walk from the JR station, making it incredibly convenient for travel. We made good use of our JR Pass to easily visit Oita and Kokura.
Very Good

AAnonymous UserThe hotel said it provides free shuttle from JR to hotel upon arrival at Yufuin with prior booking via email, but they didn’t reply email until you called them. Finally we need to walk to the hotel with our bulky luggages.
During check in, we checked with the female staff in short hair whether we can book a shuttle the next day, and she said they don’t have this service. When I asked again why they said in the booking description that the hotel provided free shuttle if they actually didn’t, she kept saying ‘No’!
When she explained the dinner arrangement, I told her one of our family members doesn’t eat beef. Then, she gave us a poker face and blamed us for not telling her earlier. However, the point is the hotel couldn’t be connected via email, and they didn’t specify that guests should have informed them the preferred meal before arrival.
Except this female staff at reception, other service staff are polite and friendly.
GGuest UserThe view is superb and the footbath facing the sea is so relaxing. The room is spacious with comfortable tatami, but lighting is not quite enough at night.

SSikiqiThis hotel is perfectly located right in the heart of Beppu's Hells, with attractions literally on its doorstep. All five Hells (Jigoku) are within a 3-5 minute walk, which is incredibly convenient!
While the hotel's exterior is unassuming, its interior is a hidden gem. The Japanese garden in the common areas is beautiful. Our room was spacious with a great view, allowing us to see the steam rising from the Hells. Plus, having a private onsen in the room meant we could soak to our heart's content! We even had the large public bath all to ourselves during our visit.
The Teppanyaki set meal we booked was a good experience, though we wished there was a little more meat.
We specifically requested Japanese-style breakfast when booking, but for some reason, we were given Western-style instead. When we inquired, the staff informed us that it couldn't be changed.
On a very positive note, it was our wedding anniversary trip, and the hotel thoughtfully prepared a small gift and took commemorative photos for us – a very nice touch! Aside from these minor issues, everything else was fantastic.
The only real downside was the hotel's shuttle service to the station. While they offer it, the last departure is strictly before 11 AM. If you miss it, you have to take a taxi. It feels a bit inconvenient to offer a service with such a limited timeframe. For instance, we visited the Hells in the morning and ended up leaving the hotel after 11 AM, so we had to take a taxi to the JR station. An improvement here would be much appreciated!
Overall, my husband, who was visiting Japan for the first time, said it was an excellent Japanese onsen hotel experience. He gives it a big thumbs up!
SSara ArdeliaThe closest hotel to Harmonyland which allows you to take taxi to and from the theme park at a reasonable price.
The hotel basically provides everything from snacks, drinks and meals all day including dinner and breakfast, everything was excellent. I was aware that Mercure is an international hotel chain thus the vibes of the hotel itself can’t truly be entirely Japanese. However, I was still very satisfied with my stay overall.
I was so lucky to see some cherry blossom trees still in their peak at the hotel parking lot while the peak of most other trees in different areas had already passed.
The hotel also offers free shuttle from and to Beppu Station which we found to be very helpful.
GGuest UserExcellent!
Awesome lobby, incredible seaview, great service, competent and very polite staff, good food, room very clean, onsen is great with free branded amenities choices 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. location is a bit off, fortunately have shuttle.
Special thanks to Harada san 👍🏻👍🏻 helped to arrange smooth transfer from hotel to airport.
Appreciate the hospitality from quite a number of multilingual staff 👏🏻👏🏻. Onsen is great, unlimited free drinks! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻coffee, coke, green tea, etc 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Breakfast is good, value for money, nice to try. Dinner is 90-mins semi buffet, no choice for the set, special arrangement if you don’t eat beef, but take some time. Lots of wine varieties, if you don’t drink alcohol, the dinner price is NOT worth.
My comment: Highly recommended. need to have car, my case is with sudden car break down with no replacement. Grandvrio did a great job!👏🏻👏🏻
GGuest UserAdvantages: Private bath, nice scenery, good service from staff, no problem in communicating in English, Chinese and Mandarin! The Oita Wagyu beef in Kaiseki cuisine is very delicious, and the price-performance ratio is very good. The Oita chicken tastes above average! Evening kaiseki excellent breakfast is ok!
Disadvantages: The location is on a higher mountain! You have to get there first, as the public baths are relatively ordinary! No scenery! A private spa will be more beautiful! In addition, there is no independent toilet, if the weather is very cold! I don’t want to have to go to a public bathhouse to take a shower in the freezing wind in a private room. In addition, because it is a suburban area, there will be more insects that may crawl into the house.

GGuest UserHotel surroundings and cleanliness was top notch.
Dinner and breakfast set were amazingly tasteful and filling. Food served was fresh and served based on our eating pace. All the staff are all well versed with English and friendly with our request.
The onsen itself was great but the entrance to the men and ladies onsen was just next to each other. Ladies privacy could be easily violated as the main door was the see-through type. We were not feeling quite comfortable with the entrance layout.
ZzhangcjThis hotel is really nice. The room is big, with two tatami rooms. There is floor heating under the tatami, so it's not cold even if you walk barefoot on the tatami. There is a private hot spring in the room. We booked a breakfast-only package, which was also good, and there was even grilled fish. The whole hotel is small, with a stream running through the whole yard. The most unexpected thing is that guests can boil eggs in hot spring water for free.
GGuest UserThe hotel is older! The service condition is acceptable! The hotel staff took the initiative to help! The important thing is free parking! The price also comes with breakfast! Except for the poor sound insulation, there is nothing to fault!
