There's not a whole lot I can say that's positive about this place, other than it's cheap and in a good location (8 minutes walking to Beppu station).
The building is quite old and hasn't been renovated since it was built. The word that comes to mind is 'dilapidated'. The carpet is dingy, there are stains on the wall, and the walls are paper thin. Even though I opted for a private room, I could still hear everything in the communal bathroom and hallway.
I will say the tatami in the room was on the newer side, and the linens were quite clean. Also free rental bikes are provided which is a huge plus.
Overall, my standards were not high given the price but even then I was a little surprised by the state of the property. I've stayed in other similarly priced hotels/hostels that were in much better shape.
Also of note: this place does not provide you with a bath towel. You have to pay 50 yen per towel. I don't know why but it irks me when places do this. Just add it to the price of the room and give me a free bath towel lol. How are the bike rentals free but the bath towel is not???

In Japan I love older hotels with tatami bedrooms, and this one was perfect. Shoji screen doors slid out on 2 sides to reveal broad windows with views of the mountains. If you like traditional interiors and don't need a trendy, polished atmosphere, I highly recommend this place. Another bonus - it's a few blocks away from the Kitahama bus terminal, great for taking inter-city highway buses

Pros: Good location
Cons: Major renovation to spruce up the worn out facilities
Location: Just walk around, there are food, sights, shopping, etc, etc.,
Good location, hostel in urgent need of major renovation, more and better instruction to guests so that they can take better care of facilities. Overall, we adapted to the place, which is peaceful and quiet.

Not too bad.
Posted 15 Nov 2017 on HotelsThe main check-in counter was in the separate building from the accommodation (this was a little odd). The kitchen wasn't very tidy. The onsen was very soothing and nice. The room was small but included a washroom and a sink, so that was convenient.
