AMANEK Inn Beppu

Amanek includes 2 buildings, the Yula-re and the Inn. The Yula-re gives slightly fancier vibes and that's where the breakfast buffet, smoking room, sento, rooftop pool, gym and jacuzzi are located. I stayed next door at the Amanek Inn. The lobby is very modern and on the first floor there's a little library where you can read or simply relax. There's also a massage place on the same floor along with a microwave. There's only one lift for the building. The staff is friendly and accommodating, will store your luggage and provide great restaurant recommendations. My room was on the top floor in the corner and had possibly the best view, particularly at sunrise. The room size was ok for a solo traveller with a regular size suitcase. Loved that I could connect my phone to the TV seamlessly. Towels, slippers and yukata are provided in the room along with toiletries. FYI - sento and pool are located next door and you will have to briefly walk outdoors if you stay at the Inn to reach the other building's lobby. Wish the yukatas provided at the Yula-re were available for purchase. They were so pretty. Would stay here again.

The public heated pool was extremely spacious and offered great views of the city! I also loved relaxing at the onsen, which was very big and also had a great view. The laundry facilities were very much appreciated, as we had a lot of dirty clothing. The staff were extremely helpful at not only checking in, but also helping us order pizza late at night when we were too tired to go out for dinner. I absolutely will be coming back to this hotel at some point. It is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at!

This hotel offers an amazing value - the hotel itself is a basic one, but nice and clean. The real value is that it offers free access to all the amenities of the other neighboring AMANEK Hotel which is a marvel. The breakfast is an amazing feast offering the best from the region. There is an amazing onsen on the 14th floor and a rooftop pool on the 15th floor overlooking the whole city - and it's all yours. The location of the hotel is also great, a short walk away from Beppu station and you can also reach the famous Kannawa onsen area with a short bus ride from the station. I look forward to returning to this hotel and Beppu, this stay was the highlight of my entire Japan trip.

It is located in a very quiet street, and a walking distance from the Beppu Station. Very helpful and friendly staff. I LOVED their HUGE variety of food for breakfast, and the hot spring on the 14th of the main building. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. I liked been able to use the washing machine & the dryer.

For first-time visitors to Beppu, this is a fabulous location a very short distance from the train station. Downtown is incredibly accessible, along with the many interesting little side-street areas. Beppu is however, extremely interesting a distance away; if visiting for vacation, a car and a few days would be recommended. The sento in the photos is actually in the building next door, and the facilities are good for a hotel -- though I would recommend heading to the actual onsen across the street for a more authentic experience!
