What an indulgence

Reviewed By SKW66

We booked the Executive Japanese Western Style Suite which was located in the middle building out of the 3. There was a little tatami room where the staff kindly made the mattresses during dinner time where our 2 young kids could sleep. Then my husband and I occupied the remaining 2 double beds which was just A LOT of space! Dinner was served in one of the restaurants in the same building. Our family of 7 was glad that we got to occupy in a private dining room. Too bad the weather was cloudy that we couldn't see the sun rise at 7am. The suite had a big living room area with a balcony facing the horizon. The view in a cloudy day was already stunning. It's a pity we couldn't see it in the best weather. The breakfast buffet at the same building got so many food choices we didn't get to try everything we would like. This was also because the breakfast time ended at 9:30am... Unlike in other hotels where they would let the guests finish the remaining food even though breakfast time is over, here the food was already being removed at 9:30am.

The hotel is situated at the hill with an amazing view of Beppu City and Beppu Bay. The onsen and the heated pool are great with great views. It is so nice seeing the sunrise while relaxing in the onsen. The food in the restaurant are great, especially the beef and goose liver. Overall speaking, it's a great experience.

Mediocre

Reviewed By VTSM

Room is above average size in Japan. Interior decoration a bit dated. Services are generally good. The hotspring pools are acceptable. That said, I didn't feel the hotspring water slippery onto my skin and no sulphur smelling. Wonder if the water is real hotspring. Asked their staff who confirmed yes. But this was not my prior experience in hotspring water. You could literally smell sulphur when you passed by some hotspring sites.

Not Too Impressed

Reviewed By Majorchu

Rooms were a bit cramped and no amenities. The bed was hard as rock and it would have been appreciated if there were an extra pillow. Set the temperature at 20 C but the room was still hot and stuffy so had to open the window for a while. The dinner was ok but not spectacular. We had the Shabu Shabu but the beef quality was so so and lacking the sesame sauce. Overall just average.

綺麗なドーミーインブランドで安心ステイ

Reviewed By stila777

長崎駅に近く、とても便利な場所でした。 初めての長崎で地理感覚も無く、とりあえず長崎駅に近いホテルとして予約。 人気のドーミーインブランドで、大浴場も満喫できました。 温泉自体は大きくないので、テレビモニターで混雑状況要確認!笑 部屋も使い勝手良くGOOD。 ただ、長崎にしては値段は高め。 長崎市電は五島町が一番近く、どこ行くにも便利でした。空港行きのバス停も徒歩2分程度。 またホテル下にはセブンイレブン。 近くの長浜ラーメンも美味しかった! ホテルとは関係ないですが、長崎駅には繁華街が無く、こんなに閑散としてる事にビックリでした。 大きな駅だと思ったら周りには何もないです。

Proper hot spring spa type hotel

Reviewed By RobinKClarke

This was bolt hole no.1 on our Rugby World Cup weekend, it was a good choice! I had already booked a nights stay here on the Saturday of England's rugby QF v Australia. We hastily arranged a Friday stay when it became clear commuting from Fukuoka to Beppu was going to be a major issue on match say. Turned out a great plan! So 2 nights, we enjoyed the Spa which me and my wife made full use of. The outdoor baths range in temperatures and size. At the time we stayed there, it was the chosen bolt hole of many a rugby newspaper hack! There was Messrs S Jones and M Cleary of the broad sheets and M Samuels of the Mail, amongst others. We also had rugby correspondents from Sky Sports news. Funny choice since Oita is quite a commute from that hotel. Anyway, I digress. Hotel rooms are plain but comfortable plus large enough. Walk in showers and breakfast had a wide selection. Friendly staff but an odd gown and slippers rule (not strictly enforced, just as well as slippers were too small as were garments). For both nights, we enjoyed drinks in their basic lounge area. Beers were purchased from a vending machine. Usual fayre of Asahi type later, not great but ok. The place is up in the mountains about a 20 min bus ride from Beppu Station. We ate in the evening in Beppu, plenty of choices. All in all, a fun stay.

Good service and pleasant stay

Reviewed By Stewart C

It is not difficult to find from google map, driving there. The room itself was good although the common areas do need to be refurbished. Dinner was at a separate building (?separate restaurant) and the onsen associated with the restaurant was larger but without much amenities, and more public. The outdoor onsen there was not very hot. The smaller onsen at the hotel was better and not crowded when we used it. We enjoyed the horse-meat sashimi dinner.
