Hotel Analysis
Based on 2 sites · 310 reviews
A 2.5-star ryokan in Beppu. The most frequently mentioned point in guest reviews is the outdated facilities. The building, constructed in 1964 and last renovated in 2007, feels worn.
Reviews across booking sites repeatedly note 'tatami rooms are old and worn,' and 'bathtubs and public baths are uncomfortable.' On the other hand, staff friendliness is consistently praised. Some liked the rooftop open-air onsen or public baths. Meals like breakfast or dinner get positive mentions for taste, but contrast with the facilities frustrates some.
Family travelers often find it burdensome with kids. Reviews mention many abandoned buildings nearby and few guests, feeling uneasy. Location is okay, a short bus ride from Beppu Station, but many complain it doesn't match photos.
Solo travelers or couples seeking cheap tatami and onsen experience might find value. High expectations lead to disappointment.
