AMANEK Beppu YULA-RE

Very friendly and professional staff. Great value for a spa hotel, but definitely more expensive than a typical hotel. We have tattoos, and there was absolutely no problem using the spa area. The hot baths and sauna in the men's section were great. There's an all-you-can-drink self-serve 1000 yen bar area - yes, it really is 1000 yen and yes, you really can have anything you want from a selection of excellent shochus, sakes, but also wines beers and whiskey/gin/vodka.

Good location close to JR station and ctr of town that offered lots of restaurant choices. Hotel has lots of facilities gym, onsen , sauna swimming pool. Rooms are comfortable , shower facilities work well. buffet breakfast had plenty of choices western - Asian. Staff were always very friendly. Tip: if you don’t hire a car buy a 1/-2 day bus pass to see local area attractions .also the Beepu park is worth a visit.

We were upgraded to the deluxe double Japanese Style room on the 9th floor and the view was incredible. Also one of the largest rooms and bathrooms we stayed in, in Japan. Hot tip: if you want more space, go for a Japanese style tatami room. These tatami rooms are generally double the size of standard hotel rooms all around Japan. The expansive view of Beppu from the almost floor to ceiling windows was spectacular. Their indoor and outdoor onsens were also beautiful and they of course supplied a yukata, towels, shampoo, body wash, conditioner etc. They also had a beautiful swimming pool on the roof which we didn't use as the weather wasn't great, although a few guests did regardless.

Property was spacious and clean with an excellent location. The ipad in the room provided easy control of the facilities in the room. There is also a happy hour promotion that is a good deal and popular with guests. The rooftop pool is gorgeous as well, especially by night.

Was a nice place for an overnight relaxing spa hotel. The onsen were great, had the warmer one and cooler one. Just remember to bring the towels from your room. Sauna in the onsen was much better than the rooftop one but that is to be expected (More insulated). Rooftop pool was warm and provided a great view. We happened to be in beppu when the fire festival was on, so at first we thought the hill was burning uncontrollably but later realised it is just part of their celebrations. Just lacked some softdrinks in the bar downstairs which would be our only suggestion to add. Breakfast was a huge choice of Japanese and western cuisine in a buffet. Room had two futon beds and two Tatami mat/thinner fold away beds which our kids slept on. Very relaxing.
