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

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.
The 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.

Comfortable, quiet rooms and great staff
We checked into this hostel to get some rest after many many travel days and couch surfing. We had a room on the third floor which was super quiet and quite a large room. There was the option of a bunk bed or floor mattress/futon within the room so you could choose what you preferred. The front desk staff spoke English really well and there were signs throughout the hotel explaining how things work, also in English. They also have information at the check in desk to help you find your way around to the local sights including bus information. It was very helpful. The check in desk is located slightly up the road from the actual hostel building but it's not hard to find. Although check in wasn't until 3pm, they allowed us to leave our bags so we could explore the town from around 10.30am. On the ground floor of the building there are male and female onsens, a kitchen and a lounge room for shared use by the guests. We didn't use them, but the option was there. There's also a footspa out the front of the hostel. The twin room we booked had a private toilet and a shared shower room, located on the 2nd floor. The hostel is located within easy walking distance from the station. Just use the seaside exit of the station and walk down the street moving away from the station toward the ocean. After you pass the car park, cross the small road and continue for one more block. Turn left and continue along the street until you reach the check in building with the hostel sign on it.

budget hostel for backpackers
the atmosphere was simply terrific. you can meet all kinds of interesting travelers easily there. those staff members were very friendly and entertaining. some guests complained about the lack of facilities, but please be fair as it's a hostel anyway. what you pay is what you get. i love this hostel after all :)

Value for the price you pay
Check in counter is 1minute walk across the street. Staff were friendly in assisting us and spoke very fluent English. The glass entrance access is via passcode which I feel safe. Only house slippers allowed upon entering, which ensures the cleanliness of the place. There's separate washroom, onsen available on ground level. Even though it's a hostel, our private toilet seat is always warm! Location for shower is just next door. Quilt provided was sufficient for a room without heater, even the temperature is below 5 in the night. Wifi is extremely weak, only available at our room entrance, which make it difficult to do booking and plan for our onward journey. There's a free foot hot spring spot for everyone before the entrance, which was nice after a long day of walking!

First Hostel Experience
Stayed in mixed dorm of 5; 4 beds (the couple on my lower bunk rocked the bed for a little while). I slept as well as you can in a dorm bunk bed. The place was lively and beautiful. Games and Manga Collection provided along with tea and a small kitchen.

Resonable hostel
Staff is nice ladies. One of the staff not really understand the actual sight seeing of Beppu or not willing to reply me. For example, I borrow the bicycle to go to onsen but she said it is so far. She ask me to go to tourist information for giving information. The staff of tourist information tell me to take 10 mins of bus. However, I take 20mins cycling uphill to go.

Good Hostel with Useful English instructions
This is truly a hostel so expect those conditions. I had a small single room, servicable. It's all I was looking for BIG PLUSSES 1) An onsen on the first floor! 2) Very detailed English instructions on how to get to many sites in town as well as suggestions on places to eat. 3) English speaking staff.

staff are nice, other people are nice, just the facilities are not quite...convenient. there are only 1-2 showers in the whole hostel, in which i m staying in a 5-ppl-room, so I have not went into the shower room during my stay, i just went to the onsen for bath@@ the room is not very clean, but it is okay for a budget travel.

I like the spa hotel Khaosan Beppu a looooot, except its location. It was not really easy to find it from the train station, but not too difficult. I found it anyway, so it was okay in the end. Guests can hire bikes for free, and it is an awesome thing of this hostel. it is so beautiful to ride a bike around Beppu. If I travel around Beppu again, I'll definitely stay here again :) And staff are really nice and friendly!!

Budget hostel
Got drenched in the rain on the way there but a hostel staff member kindly came out to greet us with a towel. Our japanese style room was great for the budget traveller although our shower floor was not clean! Desk is not manned 24 hrs so when we checked out early we had to carry our heavy suit cases down 3 steep flights of stairs by ourselves (2 women) - difficult. The onsite onsen was tiny and we would like to suggest that it has a night time curfew, so that it's not noisy when trying to sleep.

No Excuse for Not Being Clean
Stay somewhere else as this place is run down and not clean. Located about a 25 minute bus ride from the main attractions. However, it is near to the Buppu train station and located in the city center. There is no excuse for a hostel not to be clean. This place is in desperate need of a deep cleaning. Spend a bit of money to replace the old, dirty carpets. The front desk was not helpful as fat as tourist information goes and it is a hostel. Hostels are ALWAYS helpful with tourist information.

初めてドミトリーを利用しました。4人の相部屋で海外の方が多い印象でした(私以外は海外の方でした)。キッチンは共有スペースになっていて、電子レンジ、オーブントースター、電気ケトル、フライパン、食器類、炊飯器、冷蔵庫、洗濯機等日常生活で使うような物はだいたい、そろっているのでお米を持って行けば、炊飯器でたいて、できたてが食べれます。パンを持って行けば、トースターで焼いて食べれるので朝食にちょうどいいと感じました。 幅が狭い縦長の鍵付きロッカーがあるので、スーツや小物(手持ちバッグ)は入れる事ができますが旅行バックやキャリーケース等(大きい荷物)は入らないので部屋のジャマにならない所におくしかありません。 ドミトリーではない鍵付きの部屋の方が安心して泊まれると思いますのでそちらをオススメします。

Je ne recommande pas
Pour un prix similaire j'ai eu beaucoup mieux : oui il y un onsen dans l'hôtel mais il est tout petit, on a du attendre que les gens finissent leur douche et l'eau du bain est brûlante... A l'arrivé le monsieur à l'accueil à vérifié mon passeport en l'amenant dans une autre pièce et a oublié de me le rendre. Je suis aussi fautive de part mon manque d'attention mais lorsqu'en panique je suis venue demander s'ils l'avaient trouvé ne sachant pas si je l'avais perdu ou si on me l'avait volé, le même monsieur n'était pas particulièrement inquiet de réaliser qu'il avait oublié de me le rendre...
