An Ok place

In the name of eco mindedness, there is not much service. We told front desk that our bathroom sink has bad drainage, water would fill up sink and drains super slow, plus our drinking water tank is almost empty, yet nothing happened. Location of hotel is great though with front view of the sea.

Apart from the private hot spring in room and near the sea view, it is not worth to stay here. This is an old hotel, the decoration is old style. Water leaks from air conditioner but no one answer the hotline by the front desk. The staff are not very helpful. However, the location is still convenient, quite a lot of restaurants and a shopping mall nearby.

Booked this hotel specifically for the private onsen experience. I was aware prior booking that the hotel is old and based on reviews and pictures, the hotel seem to have made improvements and maintained good quality standard. To my disappointment the bath/private onsen in our room was way off from the picture advertised. There was mold on the walls, on the sliding door..every where including where the water comes and also drain. we we’re exhausted from a long trip to get to this property looking forward to relaxing bath ..which we did not get due to probably health hazards for having that amount of mold everywhere.

我住的是4樓海景大房，面向別府灣浸溫泉的體驗很好，雖然酒店很有歷史，但大部分設施經已翻新，整體住宿感覺良好，員工亦非常專業而且有禮，價錢更加是超值。我是自駕遊，泊車沒有煩惱，兩天泊車費只是1,100日元。由酒店往別府樂園只需8分鐘，往九州自然動物園只需半小時，往大分亦是大約半小時。

Nice Ryokan, a little old but a very nice place to rest for the night. Right by the coast so good access to water and the rooms tub had a sea view. Close by is the dining/shopping area around Beppu station which was nice, and we had a car to get to the further places of interest. We might hesitate to stay again in the future. The windows desperately need mosquito nets! We opened them to let some air in and also while having a private onsen and spent the first night hunting down all the little bugs that got in. Even now my partner and I are still battling the bites. The private onsen also needs a good clean and repaint. The water and tub were fantastic but the room it’s in is a little gross looking in the light.
