Shimo-era 3 Stars Hotels

"Ok"

"The service here is so good and thoughtful, I cannot emphasize how impressed we were. The staff helped us store our baggage before check in and figure out how to get the baggage to the train station. We were provided a variety of complimentary gifts, and a map of the surrounding area. The room was spacious and clean, and the private baths were a wonderful experience. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to others traveling in this area."

"Great onsen hotel near the Beppu station. No shoes allowed in the hotel which is unique. 7 private onsens plus public baths were available. Free ramen is provided for supper. There’s massage chairs available for use too. Very comfortable stay except light in room is by sensor which is rather annoying. But all in all, still enjoyed my stay and will look to stay here if I ever come back"

"It was really nice"

"This is a beautiful property located just outside of the town of Yufuin. The service was great and the food was wonderful. We enjoyed soaking in the outdoor spa while viewing the scenery around us. The hotel shuttle from the train station was not very convenient with only one small bus per hour and reservations required in advance. We opted to take a taxi which was under US$10 and very easy. We stayed two nights and spent much of the middle day walking around the town. Highly recommend."

"Amanek INN is located next to the more upscale Amanek Yula-Re. Yula-Re is where the pool and onsen are located (shared with Amanek Inn.) Overall the facilities are nice and clean. Only downside was having to walk between buildings to access the onsen."

"Very basic but in the perfect location for a short stay as 5 minutes walk to both the train and bus station. The beds were very firm and the pillows felt like they had rocks in them! Bedding was really good quality and clean. Towels were the smallest I’ve seen (like baby/children size). Reception kindly rang an onsen to make our private reservation. In summary, clean but very basic. Suited our needs for a short stay but couldn’t have managed another night. "
