Hoto Island Golf Holidays

This hotel is so far out of town that walking in to town isn’t really an option (at least a hour walk) and the buses only run every half hour. As for the room itself, when you enter the bottom of the stairwell, you can turn on the light at the bottom but not the top. So you have to walk up into pitch black and use a flashlight to find the light switch at the top. The room barely cooled off, even with us blasting the AC units. Other than that, the rooms were nice and the onsen had a very pretty view.

The property features a modern contemporary setting and includes a spacious restaurant and bar for late-night drinks. Other facilities available are a gym and laundry services. There's also an on-site public onsen and a rooftop pool with a bar, which adds a nice touch. The highlight for me was the Western-style breakfast buffet, which offered an impressive variety of options, including tempura, curry, and local Oita dishes.

For the price, the room and the breakfast should be better, otherwise it was OK

The rooftop spa is absolutely marvelous. The hotel is just next to Oita station. Downstairs is the AMU department store that contains shops, cinema, game centre and dining selections. Will come again.

I stayed at the Myajima branch of the Grandvrio Hotel. It's very much catered to Japanese guests, and once again, I was the only European, but I don’t mind. There's plenty of room space and lots of amenities. Dinner is always nice, and breakfast is just as good. I really like the Grandvrio Hotel chain.
