MURE Beppu

After two months of travelling in Japan and experiencing many communal onsens, having a private onsen in room (and spacious room of a small hotel at that), and a quiet space overall here, was exactly what we wanted. It was on high side of our affordability but we enjoyed it immensely. Figuring out how to use the kettle took a few goes (as it’s digital electronic and no brand name). Staff helpful, and even allowed us to store the hire bikes safely in front of their security camera. Would like to come back.

Private onsen was the best. Room was spacious. Staff was helpful and helped us book a restaurant. There were also other restaurant recommendations in the info booklet. Stylish interior design, very clean rooms. Free parking.

The staff is very friendly. They opened the door for us early in the morning (the reception is not operating at night) and let us leave our luggage until 2pm. The onsen in the room was excellent. There is a large convenient mall across the street.

I wish they have standard food service for guests who are staying, i.e. breakfast or if people have late check in have some simple food to buy.

Updated facilities and aesthetic was what we were looking for and private onsen. Location was not an issue and was easy to walk, taxi or bus. We are foreigners and they had devices to translate for easier communication which was nice and accommodating.
