The desk chair was really old. The door of the room next to mine wasn't sliding properly so every time it closed I would expect a big noise which was annoying.

Close to the station and bus stops. The room is a nice size for one people. The bed is a small futon so if you are not already use to futon you will probably have a hard time to sleep. I'm used to it so I sleep well. The desk has bid drawers to stock things Communal fridge to store food. I really appreciate the free coffee and tea all through the day in the big lounges. The onsen is nice!

While an older property, I liked the ambiance of the tatami room. The smell of the tatami was very soothing. I used both the shared onsen, and also rented one is the private onsen rooms. Nogami Honkan is also a few minutes walk from Takegawara Onsen, where one can do the hot sand bath. Nogami Honkan is also tattoo friendly! I also appreciate their open support of the LGBTIA+ community. They also let me wait in the manga lounge for a few hours after check out time, since my train wasn’t until later in the afternoon. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

People smoking in stairways and common area with bad smell.

The onsen water is good. There is private onsen for a fee of 500 yen for 50 mins.

Like so many of these places it was a bit tired in some areas but not enough to detract from the overall experience.

Nice old fashioned ryokan. Private onsen was a hoot, pleasant change for us to be able to participate together. Excellent Japanese breakfast. Best of all they let us check in straightaway fresh off the overnight ferry from Osaka so we could have a full day exploring Beppu.

The initial room we got had a stench in the hallway on the 3rd floor. The room wasn’t properly cleaned as we found thrash from the previous guest still in the room. The air condition unit when turned on gave out a foul stench unbearable to stay in. Reported to front desk who managed to get another room for us to move to. We were lucky they still had rooms. I wonder what would have happened if they didn’t. Staff was apologetic and moved us out to another available room with the same facilities attached private bathroom and toilet. I don’t think they have many so we were lucky.

The location was close to the train station and even a bus stop that could take us to Oita. The staff were very helpful. Room was a decent size and the futons were comfortable. The public Onsen was good.

Only the hard mattress and pillow.

Staff/owners were very helpful. I had the basic single room with shared bathroom / toilet, the mattress and pillow were rock hard. I paid for a upgrade the next day as there was one available, softer mattress and pillow. Wifi good, quiet in the evening. Onsen both public and private are great. Location maybe 5-8 minute from station.

The location was great. I liked the onsen. The room was spacious.

It was a short stay and we did not explore much around the ryokan, located near to town with private parking (not free), the room is clean, it has washing machine and dryer (payable with unlimited wash/ dry). Free water and drinks is provided in the lobby, equipped with elevator, it is easy for those with heavy luggage.

The blanket cover was short and my feet were out and cold.

Walking distance to the train station. The room was Japanese style, very clean. There's a small fridge in the room. The included breakfast was Japanese style too, with a lot of varieties of food. The hotel is also close to a traditional Japanese onsen bath.

I would have liked an option to have breakfast there. It is an option with the other rooms, but perhaps not with this one.

The single room with shared toilet was very cozy and great for a single traveler. A shared space was right outside the door but guests were courteous. There is a shared fridge outside the rooms of which there are 8 in a row. The staff were kind and helpful. The location is fantastic, a ten minute walk from the station and only two or three minutes from a main bus stop. There are many restaurants nearby and one of the famous onsens is just around the corner.

Hot water took about 3 minutes to run hot in our room...strange for an onsen town! Futons were very firm. Even piling up several futons did not help much. Hallway carpets were a bit tired looking. Some noise from the elevator. But these things did not detract from a great experience. We walked 45 mins from the Sunflower Ferry...in the rain. Not so great and we wished we had explored a bus. Buses are the best way to get about in Beppu from the bus station just a few minutes walk up the road. If you want to go to the public onsen that has hot sand to lie in, be aware it is closed on Wednesdays.

We loved the large family room as we were sharing rooms over a 4 week period. Traditional screen doors and tatami mat floor was great. Room for large luggage and even hanging jackets. We had a private toilet and basin. A couple of western chairs helped our backs! Breakfast was a highlight with all the keiseki options...some of which were quite challenging. Loved the onsens. Large attractive public onsen plus a choice from 3 private baths. Great laundry facilities.

The hotel is a bit old. It has its charm but could use a renovation

Onsen was nice. Breakfast was traditional Japanese, if you are into that it was great. Rooms were spacious.

Very wonderful arrangement to book the private onsen for my partner and myself to enjoy some private time together

The family room was a little cramp. The onsen facilities don't come with toilet.

Courteous staff, they went out of the way to look for a lighter for a birthday cake! A one time fee for the laundry throughout the stay is very much appreciated! Ice cream at 100jpy was a treat!

Room facilities were lacking. No kettle to boil water for tea, no hair dryer, beds were pretty hard but we found additional mattresses in the cupboard.

Near to Beppu Station and eating spots. Staff were pleasant. Laundry washing was free flow for an upfront cost. Room size was decent
