Beppu Hotels with Gym

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Service was very good. Parking was an extra 550 yen per day. Breakfast was Japanese style but did include a bacon and egg cooked in front of each guest with the small Japanese hotpot. Our room fit 3 adults was very nice with clean modern amenities consisting of one room with two single beds, and a sizable living room with futon in the evening for the third bed. Nice view of Beppu tower in our room. Hotspring outdoor was totally enjoyable with a view of the sunrise and the Beppu Bay. Gotta be careful though because for ladies, someone in a boat at the bay might be able to see our naked upper bodies with telescope if we stand up.😅

Overall, I felt the hotel was very nicely done with great local touches while still keeping an international atmosphere. I also wanted to point out the great flexibility of the hotel, allowing me to change my meal reservations from 3 dinners at Elements (I was on a package deal) to one at Elements and combining the remaining two meals at Elements to a dinner at Atelier. This allowed me to not have to dine at the same restaurant as well as opening up a slot for me to explore a local restaurant. However, there were two things that I'd like to point out that the hotel can improve upon. The first is the staffing at the club lounge (and in general) is not enough. There were many moments where I was left to wait, to the point where using standard facilities (like the check-in counter, or breakfast at Elements) would have been a more positive experience. Breakfast on 12/21 was where the understaffing really showed, where it took over an hour to complete breakfast; many guests left in the middle of their meal since service was horribly slow. However, the second point us what I would really want the hotel to work on - CoVID countermeasures. Largely, two things I'd like to point out. (1) Temperature screening us inconsistent. I was checked when I first arrived, but never anytime afterwards (or should I say, the thermometer station was unmanned). (2) During my meal at Atelier, my wife and I noticed that the staff (He was Italian, I think his name is Marco?) preparing the dishes (in the open kitchen) prepping a sauce, tasting it with the same spoon which was quickly rinsed it under the faucet and returned into the mixing bowl. I pointed this out to one of the servers (Japanese male, responsible for serving and explaining the dishes). This is where I felt the hotel can improve on - in detail, three things. (i) The Japanese server proceeded to quietly scold the staff in front of me, I felt that was not a great experience both for myself and the staff. (ii) Nothing was cleared. After the scolding (and then the staff responding back that he did not put the spoon back in) none of the utensils were changed and no follow up. I guess there is no trust in what a customer points out. And finally (iii) I felt that this is at the fault of the hotel for not putting in proper operation guidelines.A person putting together a meal will need to taste it, to make sure it's good. If the hotel were to put in operational guidelines to ensure tasting can be done while still making it very obvious that it is hygienic, I would not have to be writing this email. Needless to say, our dinner experience was ruined that night. I actually shared the above comment with IHG Guest Relations (on 25 Dec), which the agent was extremely prompt on getting back to me and assured that I would get a response back from the hotel about it within 48 hours. Unfortunately, the hotel never contacted me. I then asked guest relations again (on 5 Jan) to follow up with th

Travel with a group of friends to Beppu but only 4 of us decided to stay at Amanek for 2 nights. This was the best decision ever as we were closed to the JR station, eateries, Tokiwa shopping mall, Donki and the beach were within walking distance. Only few staff could speak English. Those who speak Japanese only also try their best to serve the guest. I am impressed by how clean and new the whole hotel is. Best of all, I love the free flow of juices & beverages. You could also do take away in the UCC coffee disposible cup. Love the choice of either western or local breakfast with free flow of side dishes. I am surprised by how big the bedroom is and spacious bathroom. The gym equipment tho basic, are new & in good condition. The onsen is clean & modern & I love the warm rooftop pool with an awesome view! Amanek is thoughtful to provide guest with a basket to hold all your onsen needs. Upon check out, I was overcharged for my 2 days of breakfast. The staff was quick to rectify the problem & refunded me on the spot. Yes, would definitely stay in Amanek again in my next visit to Beppu! Thank you for the awesome stay!

The hotel building we stayed in was one of several on the resort property. Driving to the property was easy, and parking was free. The room was spacious as compared to most other Japanese hotels, with enough room for two luggage. WIth ensuite bathroom, it was comfortable and had all the usual amenities. The onsen and swimming pool were in the next building (about 4 mins walk away), which was also the same place for breakfast and dinner. Both breakfast and dinner were buffet style, like a smaller version of a Las Vegas buffet, but with equally good spead and nice food. I would highly recommend dining there (it was only 3,000 yen per person that evening, very very good value). Good stopover hotel for any drive holiday on Kyushu.

I booked Amane Resort Gahama via orbitz in the very last minutes (the day of check-in) since there were no Airbnbs or other hotels available in the area for that day. My stay here with my family ended up being SO perfect & fantabulous:) As soon as I walked in the room, my inner voice says, “OMG I accidentally treated myself. This is like heaven!!” :) 1. Our room came with 2 onsen (hot spring) bath tubs. One is built in open air in the garden (roten buro), and the other is built inside (see the attached pictures). The two bath tabs are separated by the glass sliding doors. I truly enjoyed and appreciated the experience. I hopped in the bath as many times as I could to make my money worth!! They also have an open air bath (roten buro) with the beautiful view accessible to all guests. 2. Breakfast included was OMG SO deeelicious. It’s buffet style. They have traditional Japanese, Chinese, Western styled food. All guests were required to wear vinyl gloves whenever they would go get food. They have got this glove dispenser that would pump the air inside of the gloves so all we needed to do was to let our hands slide inside of gloves ( so we would not accidentally touch the next guest’s gloves underneath). I thought this was very generous and appreciated that they were trying hard to minimize contacts for covid prevention. 3. We also ate at the restaurant in the hotel. The staff, wait persons were all so nice. The food was excellent! Non alcoholic plum wine was delicious:) 4. All staffs in the hotel were super nice. We had a great stay thanks to them:)

Bed sheets had water stains on them, but overall room was spotless and very nicely arranged. It was compact but comfortable. The toilet light was really dim, but that’s ok since I did my bathing in the various onsens around the town. The receptionists all spoke English and had helpful instructions printed out. Didn’t actually use the hotel public baths, maybe next time. The tv worked great and had no problems with the aircon either.

A member of our party booked this hotel through Booking.com in January 2019 to accommodate us ( a party of four in 2 rooms) for one night during our RWC 2019 tour. Whist we knew that it was not the ‘best’ of the hotels we had booked nothing prepared us for the incredibly poor quality of this hotel. We were accommodated in the Hotel so cannot comment on the standard of the Hotel Sun Valley annex. On arrival we received a warm welcome and the hotel had prepared well for its RWC guests providing relevant information on travel to and from Beppu and facilities in Beppu itself . The beds were clean too but that is where the good ends. The hotel is sub standard and the rooms small, dirty ( accumulated dust in the room and cleanliness of the bathroom was suspect) and electrical goods and installations aged and dangerous . Furnishings were old and carpets frayed . One of the rooms had no light in the bathroom which meant that the bathroom door had to be left open during its use. The cost of the room was not excessive at circa £220 a night but it was not cheap either . Whatever it’s cost , it is expensive for what it has and what it offers. It took a lot of persuading for me to stay for the one night at this hotel and I would never return or personally recommend it to travellers. There are other hotels that provide better accommodation for the same/similar cost. Here are some of the photos to highlight the quality of our room and facilities.

　After the first night's breakfast, I was nauseated for about ２ hours and vomited around 10 times, including midnight at around 14 o'clock the next day. It was after going to the route bus around hell and it was not a sightseeing at all. The meal, including the check-in day, is only eaten by the hotel, and there is no other cause to think. (I finished with Senbei during the first day). I contacted the bad health before the hotel transfer, but the staff did not even speak any consideration after returning. The breakfast the next day was not good and continued. Also, the foot mat in the dressing room of the hotel's large bath was only a small １ piece for home use, and it was unpleasant and wet when I entered around 9 o'clock on the first night. And the next affiliated building, which was clearly indicated on the homepage, was closed when it was possible to go around the hot water. Two days of the trip for two nights and three days were ruined. In addition, nausea continued for 4 days after returning home, and it was almost fasting for 3 days. The time of the time was scared and I was treated at home. I'm sorry that the cleaning was normal. I will never use it again.
