Guest Reviews
Location
While the facility may exhibit some age, it remains spotless and well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable stay. The hotel's proximity to both the station and the sea, coupled with lovely scenic walks and eye-catching views like Beppu Tower at night, makes it a fantastic choice for those seeking convenience and natural beauty. The added delight of a buffet dining option and good service further enhances the overall experience, solidifying its reputation as a desirable destination.
Breakfast
Dinner
While the buffet-style dinner served in a ryokan-style tatami room setting was noted as impressive and satisfying, there were mentions of occasional disappointments. Some guests felt the quality of the dinner buffet did not meet their expectations, comparing it to that of a budget inn or a local buffet. There were also remarks about limited options for dinner and a desire for more meat dishes.
Despite these criticisms, the majority of reviews leaned towards the positive. Guests enjoyed the delicious food, the variety available and the combined experience of dining and other hotel amenities like the baths and entertainment options. In essence, while there's room for improvement, the overall dining at Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Beppu Seifu often met or exceeded guests' expectations.
Rooms
However, there are concerns about the rooms’ odors, often described as musty or having a bad smell, likely due to the hotel's age. Cleanliness of the rooms and fitting quality also appear to be areas needing improvement. While the views, particularly the sea view rooms and the overall room size are positive highlights, some guests found the structure of the rooms to feel dated.
The hotel’s seafood buffet, which features fresh items like unlimited snow crabs, seems to be a standout feature, coupled with the tranquil sea views—certainly contributing to a pleasant dining experience. Nevertheless, guests have suggested the addition of better amenities to enhance overall stay quality, such as WiFi access in the rooms. Despite these mixed reviews, it appears that with some upgrades and attention to cleanliness, the hotel could significantly improve guest satisfaction.
