Loved how we could use the onsen and pool facilities at the fancier hotel next door. It made our stay such good value. The room was a bit small with the bed pushed against the wall, but that’s not unusual for Japan. I didn’t find the room dirty, which I was concerned about based on other reviews. Maybe if I looked closely at the corners for dust I would have but I felt clean and comfortable in the room. Good location, maybe 5-10 minute walk from the train station and lots of food around. We parked overnight in a car park on the street behind for 1000 yen (つるみカーパーク on Google maps) as the Venus Gallery car park next door was quite expensive. Entrance to the hotel was a bit hard to find by car, as it’s set back from the street. Would stay again.

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.

Check in is from 15:00 and when I arrived to the hotel at 14:30, I could not occupy my room. In most European hotels it would not be an issue, but as I see it's a generic approach in Japan that it's not really possible to check in before the official check in time. Anyway, the front desk staff was nice, they suggested me a great place for a quick lunch, so at the end it was not an issue that I could check in only after 15:00.

Amenek Inn Beppu is the annex of Amenk hotel, which is just 10 meters away across a courtyard. The annex has only rooms and reception, coin laundry and a relax room (vending machines and microwave), for the main services you need to reach the main building, where you will find the restaurant, with an amazing breakfast ranging from traditional Japanese to continental to European, the onsen (14th floor, both indoor and outdorr) and the open air pool on the 15th floor. The room is spacey (could open two large trunks on the floor) and the bed super comfortable. The desk as well is ample and well equipped.

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.

This is NOT the property’s problem, but there were kids screaming in the hot spring, probably because of the very hot water. It was not relaxing for me one afternoon. Maybe a sign on the onsen door warning (the parents?) about the temperature of the water?

It was very central and an easy walk to the station. The facilities were excellent and it was great that guests of the Inn were able to use the facilities of the hotel. The pool, sauna and indoor/outdoor onsen on the rooftop was a treat.

There was no where to eat lunch or dinner and as a typhoon had closed the city this was slightly inconvenient. However on the first night the hotel provided a complimentary limited buffet for guests of both the Amanek hotels. It would have been nice to have somewhere to sit at anytime of the day and get a snack or something to drink.

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!

Close to the train station but still in a quiet area. View from my room were better than expected with a mountain view. Good value for a night's stay.

One note to traveler's who don't speak Japanese - google maps has the name of this hotel only in Japanese: アマネクイン別府. It is NOT the Amanek Beppu Yula Re, which is their sister hotel, right next store (you can also use that hotel's public bath). I had researched this ahead of time and had no issue just heading for the correct hotel, but it can be confusing if you're not aware.

Only a 7 minute walk from Beppu station, walking past a lot of restaurants on the way giving inspiration for dinner. Smooth check in, regular room (a little on the tight side) but comfortable for a solo traveler. Very comfy jinbei in the room to wear around the hotel. On site there's a coin washing/dryer machine and a massage centre. In the sister hotel just a couple steps away, you have the common baths and rooftop pool with heated water. In the common baths you can enjoy the amazing view over Beppu and the famous onsen waters rich in minerals. An interesting thing about this hotel is that you can use your key card to pay for things such as your washing and drinks from vending machines on site, but also use it to pay at restaurants in their network and settle your bill at check out. Really cool system and very simple to use.

The room was small, as expected, but tight even for a solo traveler.

The pool and the onsen was relaxing and fun. The hotel had this beautiful yukatas for wearing in the common facilities. Also there was many free amenities in individual package like body towel, razor, different facial and body products. The onsen (public bath) has a drying machine for the swimsuits, which was very convenient. The staff were continuously in pool and onsen, so they were available for helping with any request. The onsen and pool has beautiful views to the city, so you can see the columns of steams going out from all the city.

Although the pool and onsen were only in the building next door, getting out of the hot bath at night and crossing the cold street was inconvenient.

The pool on the roof with the temp 32 C, is great. Wellness we liked also.

The room is a bit small.
