Beppu Onsen Hotel Seifu

I went to the open-air bath in the morning. It was very beautiful in the sea in front of me, but there was a ship in front of me. It's right in front of your bath. It was very uncomfortable. I will not go there again.

We spent three nights in Oedo Onsen Monogatari Beppu Seifu in January 2020. It is about 10 minutes walk from the JR Beppu Station and on the waterfront. The hotel has two public onsen/baths; one indoor and one outdoor on the top of the roof (7th floor of the Annex Building). The outdoor onsen gives an excellent view overlooking the ocean and it is best place to enjoy a hot bath in a cold weather and seeing the sunrise. Our package included two meals - breakfast and dinner. The restaurant is also on the top floor of the main building. The buffet style breakfast and dinner provide a variety of food which are very good. We stayed in a Japanese-Western room which could accommodate 3 - 4 people with twin beds and futon. Our room also has a view of the ocean. The drawback is that the room fixture is a bit old and outdated, especially bathroom is small and the bath-tube is getting rusty. So, we did not use the bathroom. Instead, we went to enjoy the hot spring in the public bath which is much much better. The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly who gave us good direction of local touring. The reason I only rated it for 3 stars is because the outdated room fixture. Otherwise, everything is fine and it is enjoyable stay.
