Reviews of Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Beppu Seifu 3 stars

I booked this hotel after the YouTuber Gin Yu Dee said that the hotel offers a crab buffet, but when I got there, the hotel had already canceled it. I was so disappointed. Not worth the expensive room price and not getting to eat crab as advertised.

Outdoor onsen and yukatas

Breakfast was not the best

A large and somewhat confusing hotel which seemed to comprise three different buildings. The hotel itself looks rather old, scrupulously clean of course, but the views out to sea were wonderful. I had a tatami mat room on one of the higher floors and I spent a lot of time just looking at the sea. Both the indoor onsen on a lower floor and the outdoor onsen on the rooftop were excellent. Breakfast and dinner provided lots of choices, the food was excellent, but the dining room was crowded.

Breakfast and dinner were very crowded with long queues

The room Onsen and food😍

Great place to reach all shopping and amusement. The clerks were mostly gentle and kind. The onsen was great.

It is a Japanese-style room with an onsen both outside and inside. The onsen is good. The room is large. Although the room is old, it is clean.

The room is quite old and a bit worn out, but it is still clean.

Great location, great views, great facilities, great food

Very touristy, quite a major tourist location for both locals and for overseas travellers. If you don't like crowds, avoid it.

I could order birthday cake from their website. And receive it at front desk.

Ceil is quite low for taller person.

Yes

The staff/ chef in the restaurant was impolite

Buffet and onsen was good value!

Right on the water, a five minute taxi from train station. Meals were buffet - perfectly fine.

The baths were lovely, I really liked the outside rooftop one for the views. relatively close to the station but worth the extra trek for the seaside views. Staff were lovely. I liked you got a yukata. Booking said it was half board but I got breakfast and dinner included. They were really good. A great way to experience lots of different food. The room was really lovely and large. I thought I'd signed up for shared bathrooms however there was a toliet hidden in what I thought were cupboard doors. There is also a large entertainment section in the basement.

That's there is no internet in the hotel apart from the lobby. That's on me for not noticing it on Bookings page. This is the only reason some of my ratings are lower. It's 2024, the hotel really should have internet in the rooms.

Breakfast was amazing. I really like the scenery. Staff extremely friendly. Very clean

Front door is a little inaccessible. It is also a big building hence it takes a while to get to the main bathroom.

nice picture bath indoor & outdoor good food in dinner/ breakfast buffet nice sunrise view and the sea

no wifi in room bath room & toilet is old

buffet has wide variety food for dinner / breakfast. public bath indoor & outdoor was nice

room has no wifi the washroom in room is old and needed renovation.

Meals were fantastic. The Viking Buffet is filled with many different options. Definitely a highlight. The rooftop bath was also fantastic, especially during the morning sunrise and the evening stargazing. Staff were very friendly and made every attempt to help during my stay. There aren't usually a lot of English-speaking staff at Ryokans and this was no different, but they really put in the effort to help me during my stay. The view was exceptional. I had a great view of the sea from my room and left the curtains open so I had a great natural alarm clock. The manga library was well stocked and the massage chairs were fantastic. I made sure to sit and relax both nights I was there.

There was no wifi in the rooms, which was a little troublesome for a traveller like me who relied on it for my stay in Japan. I was able to work through it, but wifi in the rooms would have been a nice addition. For what I paid, I was hoping that the room would have internet. My room was in the third building, which required you to go down a small staircase, which made moving my luggage a little difficult.

I like the buffet there
