The hotel was located at the coastal area of Beppu right next to Beppu Tower. There were some restruants and convenient stores nearby. There were at least 2 shopping malls within walking distant.||||The hotel was facing the Beppu Bay. Make sure you book a seaview room to enjoy the great view. They had two hot spring facilities. One located on the roof floor (outdoor) opening till mid-night and the other one located on the 2nd floor (indoor) operating 24 hours. The hot-springs were separated into male and female areas.||||I stayed in a seaview Japanese style room which was very big. The room was clean, however full of cigarette smell when I first entered the room. They provided me with a air filter machine to remove the smell and became fresh after an hour.||||The hotel provided different eating options. Breakfast only or breakfast plus dinner. For dinner there were many choices including seafood, shabu shabu, beef, sashimi or sets with all of the above. You can choose to eat in the restruant or inside your room. I strongly recommend to enjoy your meal inside the room which provide a different feeling although they charged a little bit higher for this arrangement.||||After dinner, they will come to clean up the room and prepared the tatami sleeping.||||I met 2 ladies, one at the reception and one serving us dinner, both can speak very good English. Others English were quite basic.||||Some hints for booking on their web-site. The booking options on their English site were lot less than their Japanese site. They always provided discount options which only shown on the Japanese site. I used "Google translate" to find a much cheaper package and booked directly from the Japanese site by copying the Japanese package name onto the booking form.
