Hostellit – Beppu

"I usually do not give ratings but this time I feel that I have to let people know how amazing this Ryokan/hotel is. First the location is right in the middle of Beppus 7 Hells. You walk out and around corner they are! Second the hotel has breathtaking views of Beppu and the sea. Third the ryokan do not look much from the street but boy when you walk in you are surrounded by absolutely beautiful japanese garden, pond and architecture. Fourth, all the 4 rooms we had had own beautiful onsen bath in them. Could not believe it how great it was. Fifth, there is an amazing public onsen on the rooftop with great views of Beppu and the sea with inside and open air onsens with beautiful garden and traditional japanese steam saunas which were the first for me and great experience. Sixth, the food!! We had half board and i strongly suggest it. not only the japanese breakfast is served in a unique way but the dinners… Delicious teppanyaki served right in front of you with amazing views of the city and second evening delicious 8 course Kaiseki served in perfect way. Just perfect! And last but absolutely not least: the service! The hotel staff goes beyond everything to make your stay perfect. I have travelled in Japan now about 30 times and I know it is in the custom but this is something else! If you go to Beppu stay here!! Thank you everybody there making our Beppu stay absolutely perfect and hope to visit you soon enough! "
