Seaside Hotel Mimatsu Oetei

A Hotel located near Beppu Tower and along Beppu Bay. The interior is clean and well maintained. The live piano performance in the lobby was a nice touch. The Room we stayed in this time was a Japanese-Western style Room with a semi-open-air bath. It was spacious and very relaxing. From the Room, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Beppu Bay—the open, unobstructed feeling is amazing. The large public bath and the rooftop open-air bath are on different floors, but both are spacious enough and very soothing. Dinner was a Japanese kaiseki course and it was delicious, though the tempura was a bit cold. Breakfast was a Japanese set meal with plenty of dishes, but younger guests might find it slightly light in volume. We made a Reservation for breakfast at 7:00 (the earliest slot), but even at 7:00 the dining area wasn’t open. When we asked staff at 7:05, they let us in—disappointing. Please be punctual with opening times. In any case, it’s an exceptionally clean and beautiful Hotel. And the value for money is outstanding—honestly, it’s a hidden gem. A great find after quite some time.

Outstanding service Amazing views My elderly mother was truly delighted. I’ll make another Reservation—next time with my husband.
