Beppu Hotel Negura

I booked this hotel through Agoda and chose it because it had a deal going on. I will say that I wasn't the most impressed with this. The rooms are spacious--more spacious than you would expect in Japan--and I had no problems with the bedding which almost seemed futon-like. The toilet room and bathing room were both separate which is a nice traditional Japanese feature. However, there seems to be an emphasis on the visitor spending their time visiting the local hot springs as there were no bath salts or bathing robes to use in the room, which was surprising. The hotel itself is also minimally soundproof, and we easily heard our neighbors throughout the night. Also, we were on the first floor (thankfully) but there seemed to be no elevator to haul luggage if you are on the second floor. Customer service was both a strong and weak point. Positives include: recommending hot springs to go to and delivering pre-packaged sandwiches for breakfast. Points to improve include: aforementioned lacking amenities

No restaurant but cute bar ladies. Large modern rooms in quiet area. Mosquito problem in parking lot during rainy season.

This hotel is very basic and lacks many amenities you might expect from a more comfortable stay. For instance, there’s no lift, so if you're not on the first floor, you’ll need to carry your luggage up yourself, which can be a hassle, especially with heavy bags. While the hotel room was spacious, the mattress was rather light and tended to slide around easily, making it less comfortable. The room also features a large bath tub, but unfortunately, the hotel doesn't provide any bath salts or bath robe, which felt like a missed opportunity for a more relaxing experience. Breakfast is a cold sandwich delivered to your room the night before, which is convenient but not particularly exciting. The one bright spot of the stay was the friendly receptionist. They were very eager to recommend the best local eateries, which made exploring the area a lot more enjoyable. Overall, this hotel is functional but doesn't offer much in terms of comfort or amenities. It's fine if you're just looking for a place to sleep, but I would recommend looking elsewhere if you're after a more comfortable or convenient experience.
