Seaview Hotels in Beppu

"My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag, with both positive aspects and some minor issues, so I'm giving it a moderate rating. First, let's talk about the hotel's strong points. The room was very well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, essentially meeting all my needs during the stay. The room size was also quite generous, preventing any cramped feelings and making it feel comfortable and relaxed. In this regard, the hotel definitely has an advantage. However, there were some shortcomings regarding the environment. When making the bed, I surprisingly found a spider, which gave me quite a fright and left a somewhat unpleasant feeling. This also suggests that there might be oversights in the hotel room's cleaning and hygiene. Additionally, the bedding didn't feel very clean, which significantly detracts from the experience for anyone who values sleep hygiene. On a positive note, the hotel's location is excellent. It's close to the beach, making it wonderfully pleasant to take a leisurely stroll by the sea. Plus, Don Quijote is right across from the hotel, making shopping extremely convenient. Free drinks are also available on the first floor. I hope the hotel can pay more attention to daily cleaning and hygiene management, focusing on details to improve the overall environmental quality. I believe that after improvements, guests will have a much better stay, and I look forward to a different experience next time I visit."

"The stay was decent overall, but there is definitely room for improvement. While the general experience was okay, the room cleanliness wasn't up to par—specifically, there was an unpleasant odor coming from the cups and the bathroom. Additionally, the door leading from the balcony to the hot spring room couldn't be securely locked, which was a bit concerning. With better housekeeping and maintenance, this would be a much better place to stay."

"I've stayed here before, and this time I brought a friend and booked a larger room. It's a historic inn, but the building and decor don't feel old at all. The Japanese-style room has a really nice vibe, and the smell of the tatami mats is so soothing. The room itself is incredibly spacious; I honestly think three or four people could comfortably stay in that one large tatami room. On the top floor, there's a hot spring with one indoor bath, a small outdoor bath, and a small sauna, all using natural hot spring water. The breakfast selection isn't huge, but all the dishes are local specialties or popular items from Oita Prefecture, so you'll definitely eat well and feel full. The downstairs parking used to be free, but now it costs 700 yen per night."

"Transportation: Very convenient. It's only a 10-minute walk to JR Beppu Station. For my bus trip to Fukuoka, the bus stop (right outside Starbucks) was just a 5-minute walk from the hotel. Facilities: This is a resort-style hotel, and I was lucky enough to snag a sea-view room where the first rays of morning sun streamed directly in. The room was very spacious, more than enough for two people; it actually felt a bit large for just myself. It was approximately 10 tatami mats in size (excluding the bathroom, separate toilet, entryway, and balcony). Cleanliness: As it was a Japanese-style room, it was generally clean, but there were some small bugs. I got a few bites on my fingers and bottom, but they cleared up by the next day. Ambiance: The balcony offered a direct view of the ocean. The 260-degree sea view room was truly impressive. Service: Overall, the service was very good. The only area that needs improvement is the hot spring on the 7th floor. On the day of my arrival, I made a reservation for the hot spring with the hotel, but I didn't receive any confirmation or proof. Consequently, I didn't actually go. However, I was still charged either 1000 or 1500 yen for it at check-out. It's a small amount, so I didn't bother disputing it with the front desk, but I do think their booking and confirmation process for the hot spring needs significant improvement."

"I liked the hotel. Very good selection for breakfast and dinner, convenient onsens, amenities of good quality and wide selection of shampoos, face cleansers, creams, etc. I liked infinity bath on the 7th floor, but due to the strong wind I could enjoy it for long time. However sunset and full moon were do beautiful and bath was comfortably hot. There are table tennis, billiard, massage chairs and gaming machines in the basement, omiyage shop. I liked choose of sizes and colors of yukatas too."

"Initially, I was torn between choosing between Kai Beppu and Harumi, and I'm so glad I ultimately went with Harumi. From the service to the facilities, this onsen (hot spring) ranks as one of the best I've visited in Japan, alongside Izu, Arima, and Karuizawa. Enjoying a hot soak with family, then relaxing on the balcony listening to the ocean waves while sipping a drink—it was such a perfect evening. The service was excellent, and the breakfast was outstanding, featuring many local specialties. I'll definitely be back!"

"Booked a sea-view room with half board, and it was a great experience. It's a few hundred meters from the train station, and it's quiet despite being set back from the main road. **Environment:** It's a traditional Japanese hotel with an elevator up to the seventh floor. Being right by the sea is very convenient. I haven't slept on a futon in a long time and was worried I wouldn't get used to it, but it was actually quite comfortable. The mattress was thick and not cold. There was a faint tatami mat smell, which I personally found acceptable. I was assigned a corner room, so I could also see the sea from another wall, which was lovely. **Service:** The service was decent. The restaurant staff were particularly warm and welcoming. Just a heads-up, check-in is from 3-6 PM, and the latest entry for dinner is 7 PM, so plan accordingly. **Facilities:** The outdoor onsen on the top floor offers beautiful sea views. The indoor onsen on the third floor is quite spacious and wasn't crowded at all. **Food:** Dinner was excellent, with a good variety including sashimi, wagyu beef, and tempura. Breakfast leaned a bit more vegetarian but was also very tasty."

"Serve The owner and the staff are attentive to the service Even though it was already 9pm when we arrived, the owner explained the room and facilities in detail. Although we don't speak Japanese, the service staff kept smiling and tried their best to communicate, showing professionalism and courtesy. facility The hotel is exquisite. Although the place is small, it is very convenient Especially suitable for indoor walking in cold weather The bath facilities in the basement are relatively simple and the water temperature is relatively high, but overall it is clean and comfortable. I especially like their pillows and coral fleece felt. They are very comfortable. food The food variety is very rich. Although the taste may not be the best, it is definitely a very good experience. You can enjoy many different ingredients and cooking methods in one meal. Place It is convenient to drive or take public transportation near the Iron Wheel Scenic Spot and Hell Hot Springs. #souliday #Beppu #Kyushu #Japan #stay and eat #hot spring #hot spring bath #Self-driving tour"
