The front desk staff was kind enough to wait an extra 10 minutes for me, as requested, since my bus was delayed. He was also patient and gave me a detailed explanation of how everything worked, along with some helpful local recommendations. The room was relatively small, but I had no issues — I slept comfortably and even enjoyed the onsen in the morning before check-out. The hotel’s location was fairly central, and I was able to walk to izakayas and convenience stores, even later in the evening.

The accommodation had a "check-in by 9 PM" policy, which can be inconvenient if you’re arriving in Beppu later in the day, as I was. Some of the hotel’s facilities felt a bit dated and could use some updates.

It's the perfect location. Very close to many great onsens and the Hells. The owner was extremely friendly and took time to explain how to use the steamers to cook food. The room was small but comfortable.

I'm not sure what it was.. the machinery? It was so noisy outside at night that I needed earplugs to sleep.

Exceeded expectations and 100 percent lived up to all the other reviews. Owner was so kind, Jigoku mushi was delicious and all supplies needed were available in the kitchen, shop across the street had all the ingredients you could ever want, onsen was hot and wonderful, bedding was comfortable, location was ideal. What more could you want?

In the middle of area with most hot springs in Beppu. The receptionist was super friendly and mastered the way of using Google translate to tell us everything we know. The hotel includes a hot spring steam oven (amazing!), which we could use for free and we were told where we could buy ingredients for it. We stayed in the japanese style room, which was nice and cute with a great view over the town to the ocean.

We only stayed one night, should've stayed longer.

In the heart of Kannawa district, perfect for visiting the Hell ponds of Beppu or enjoying a nighttime onsen. Accessible hot spring bath and sauna on the ground floor of the hotel. Bonus : you het to experience as you wish the "hell steam cooking" (jigokumushi) from a free access kitchen in front of the hotel with three steam ovens. A great experience at a very friendly price

Within walking distance to the Jigoku Meguri tour and the infamous Hyotan Onsen. There’s a lift for upper floors and it even has a kitchenette. The tatami floor is very nice. The futon is comfortable. It was a short stay but it was nice. My room even has a balcony. Retro bathroom with no bidet.

The room keychain is too big. I wish it was smaller.

You can tell from the host's passion that he really cares deeply about this hotel, and for every guest who steps foot in here. Such a nice guy!

Perfect location, really nice staff!

Fantastic location, very kind staff who explained everything through translator app.

Oh I love this hotel with the japanese toom and I got a great view of the city with steam. It's light up with color at night so beautiful.

Nothing!
