Hotel Seawave Beppu

Probably the most well located hot spring hotel in all of Beppu, you can literally see it when getting off the train. The onsen within the hotel is nice for starting and ending a day. The staff are all very kind and seemed to be genuinely happy.

The room was a little cramped and the bed was a little stiff. The breakfast has some western options, but it definitely caters to Japanese tastes much more.

The staff was particularly helpful, Hiba was very kind to me and to wife who was little sick we checked in. They also took our luggage and stored it after checkout for free, something rare in Japan.

Wonderful hotel with onsen, nice breakfast, and helpful staff. Check-in and check-out were super easy. It's located right across from Beppu Station, so I was able to come from Osaka and leave for Fukuoka easily.

Good location very near station Big room for 3 people

Convenient location is the main reason to stay here. Right across from the train station; it was welcome when I had a bunch of luggage and it was super hot. I also loved the silly robot in the lobby that greeted you, but I am not sure it was very useful for anything. Easy check in on the computer and the staff was mostly very helpful.

Small room, though that's to be expected here. It was fine - nothing fancy but it was what I needed. I paid extra for a nicer hotel after my first night here.

Nice view of the mountains. Close to the train station and convenience store. The staff was friendly and helpful with good English.

The beds were hard, making it challenging to get a good night's sleep. The bathroom step was high, so care was needed entering and exiting.

Location next to train station.

Room was very tiny. Also accidentally booked smoking room as non smoking couple. The smell on the corridor and surface of the room was horrible. Very mediocre breakfast. Confusing check in process.

Free parking, opposite of Beppu station and many shops & eateries around it. Onsen is provided but it’s rather small & rundown, poor water pressure and cleanliness not JP standard.

Other than the location near the train station, overall the stay was ok only. Is a pretty old hotel and the room is very small. The onsen also quite run down.

The place was nice and comfy, together with the location, the stay is impeccable given the price and feels better (a little newer, a little more spacious) than most in the same class.Most importantly, there was an apprenticeship female staff (of course other staffs also!) who was really helpful. It really makes this stay stand out from others.

The whole hotel appeares very new and clean, and rhe room is very comfortable and spacious enough. USB ports are provided beside beds and near the desk. The breakfast, while offers a limited choice, was still valued for money. The prices for dinner sets are reasonably priced (cheaper than dining outside) and the food quality was good. For the location, it is just opposite to the train station. Also I like it's on-sire free hot springs onsen. The water was hot enough and it was very comfortable to have a spa there. Highly valued for money given the price.

The self-help check-in process is a be trouble for the guest. It essentially shifts the burden of entering guest personal information from the receptionist to the guest himself, which is not guest-friendly at all and I am not so impressed about it. The coffee machine broken down during breakfast time and only pre-made coffee was available.

Hotel is walking distance to good food options, shopping and transportation. Carpark is very convenient at no extra charge. The hotspring baths was also very enjoyable.

Receptionist very helpful

Bathroom and wardrobe look abit old need renovation

The hotel is just across the station and the bus stops to go pretty much anywhere - a perfect location. The onsen is also quite nice.

I stayed two nights, when I booked the 1st night I wasn’t careful and didn’t check that the room was non-smoking. Rooms from floors 3 to 5 are smoking and the smell is very very strong. If you are sensitive like me make sure to book a non-smoking room.

Close to a lot of places, easy to find

Parking is confusing

It was nicely close to the train station and all the onsens and restaurants! The free onsen access from staying at the hotel is also an amazing plus! One of the better onsens out of all that I tried, highly recommend!

1. Onsen2. Ample supply of toiletries

1. The kerb to the toilet is TOO high2. There’s little walking space in the room.

Lovely onsen at this older but charming hotel 5 seconds from Beppu Station

All was good ?

Easy to reach many good places from the hotel and Onsen!

The bathroom is kinda small, but it's not bad.

When my wife and I first entered, we were greeted by a lovely young lady. Unfortunately, I didn't get her name but she was cheerful and really helpful. The room was nice, it was clean and the location was very convenient. Plenty of parking spaces too, just down the road a little bit.
