TOP 10 Beppu Hotels

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!

After reading other reviews, they were all overwhelmingly positive. Having stayed in numerous hotels, the ANA InterContinental Beppu definitely ranks in my top three. First, let's talk about transportation: Beppu Station is quite small. Remember to exit from the West Exit (this was told to us by the hotel shuttle driver; apparently, many international guests wait for a long time at the East Exit only to find out it's the West Exit). The hotel is about a twenty-minute drive away. Next, the service: What was really surprising is that more than half of the hotel staff are non-Japanese. Every single foreign staff member spoke excellent Japanese, with perfect mastery of honorifics. Finally, the room facilities: The onsen (hot spring bath) is small but beautiful. The infinity pool isn't very deep, making it suitable for children. It was still a bit chilly in March, but luckily, there's a warm pool nearby where you can soak for a while. The restaurant offers great value for money. Children aged 6-12 get half price, which is around 2,700 yen. In the evening, there's an all-you-can-drink option for adults at 5,000 yen, including sparkling wine, house wine, shochu, and beer.

I stayed two nights in a room on the 9th floor, so here's my experience. In terms of facilities, the hotel is relatively new and the amenities are quite good. The reception is located in a villa, presumably an extension of an older building, which adds a unique charm. There are only two suites per floor, so the rooms are very spacious. The indoor onsen (hot spring bath) was particularly impressive and very comfortable. The large public bath is in another building a three-minute walk away, located on the first floor as an infinity pool; I recommend experiencing it at sunset – it's wonderful. As for the food, the kaiseki cuisine here is of extremely high quality, the best of the two hotels I stayed at in Beppu. The restaurant, Matsushu, in the new building, consists entirely of private rooms, the number of which seems to correspond to the number of rooms. Japanese breakfast and dinner are enjoyed in these private rooms, which is very pleasant. I also tried their buffet breakfast in another building, which was quite good, especially the high-quality fruit. Location-wise, there's a bus stop right outside. Whether you're going to Beppu Station, Kannawa Onsen, or a large shopping mall, you only need to take one bus, which is very convenient. Overall, it was a very memorable stay and I would definitely return.

The hotel provides pick-up and drop-off service to Beppu Station, which must be reserved 2 days in advance. Don't follow what he wrote above to Beppu University, otherwise it will waste an hour in order to take a stop. The hotel is in the middle of Beppu University Station and Beppu Station. 3 kilometers from various hell attractions,1.6 kilometers from Hulu Hot Spring. It is all walking. Country city walk still has a different tranquility. The highlight of the hotel is eating, dinner and breakfast, very exquisite and delicious, and the food is worth the fare.

This is my second time choosing this hotel! Absolutely impeccable. If you're driving to Fukuoka, I highly recommend this place. The food is great, the rooms are comfortable, and it even has a private onsen. It's a total win! 🫰🏼

It was my first time eating breakfast prepared by a Japanese restaurant. I was really amazed by the tofu, which tasted like a chewy pudding. Each dish tasted like it had its own special seasoning. As a *********, I’m used to seasonings such as pepper, garlic, and salt, but it was completely edible and it was delicious! Some inconveniences are that elderly people with bad backs or legs are not suitable for this restaurant, because Japanese style seats require sitting on the ground and walking up stairs (but since there is only the second floor, I think it is worth a try). The room we stayed in was for four people to a room, so we ate and ate in the same space. When we needed to move the bed to make it or move the table back to eat, we had to squeeze into a corner or leave the room to let the staff finish. Although this move took no more than 10 minutes (about 5 minutes), it was still not very convenient and I didn't really like this part. The staff attitude, service and room cleanliness are all of a high standard.

Tielun is the hot spring hotel with the most thoughtful and meticulous service on this trip👍 The front desk lady, the manager and the training guy are all very friendly, and the service can be described as home away from home. It is a foreign guest-friendly hotel. The facilities in the hotel room are very clean and sanitary, and everything is available. The accommodation at night is very comfortable. Especially the hot springs, which are a major advantage of Tielun. There are hot springs on the first floor and the top floor. The facilities in the hot springs are also unexpectedly complete. The hot springs on the top floor can overlook the coastline of Beppu and the city of Beppu. The Hell Hot Springs attraction, Umijigoku, is a five-minute walk from the hotel, and there are two bus stops next to the hotel. My friends and I both think it is great value for money.

The Japanese-style room is very stylish, the private bath room is great, the room is heated, the breakfast is super delicious, and the staff is very friendly and kind. The overall stay is first-class and cost-effective.

The hotel is a work of art — the architecture and design are incredible. I got a room on the first floor, and I’m usually not a fan of staying on the first floor for security reasons, but everything was perfectly fine. The room was very spacious, clean, and had all the amenities, including skincare products. My favorite part was the bath, especially when you open the doors and fresh air comes in — such a relaxing experience. And the breakfast… the best omelet I’ve ever had.
