Seaside Hotel Mimatu Oetei

This hotel has a wonderful view from the room across the bay. The Onsen on the top floor was great and the Japanese breakfast was well worth it. The décor is a little 1970's but quite cool in that way. It is well placed in Beppu and has ample parking.

The room was a little cramped for 5 (we did need an extra bed to be fair) and it was quite pricey. Other than that though, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

good japanese breakfast large rooms tatami style

the hotel is dated - from the 80's- carpets a bit worn, lots of wood panelling and red /ochre tints

The breakfast was excellent, it was a traditional Japanese breakfast feast served as a set meal. As we rented a car free parking was available

Nice view of the ocean and a spacious room for a Japanese hotel.

We were travelling with kids so things like unavoidable steps in the lobby were mildly irritating with pram etc. The all inclusive nature of the meals makes the hotel pretty expensive and we couldn’t enjoy them with toddlers - 4 course meal for dinner and very traditional style breakfast. Nice for couples and older families though. When we told the staff we didn’t want the breakfast, all they went on about was that the cost was still included rather than seeing if there was anything they could change (it’s not like I like going out for breakfast in Japan! and my husband speaks Japanese so language wasn’t a barrier)
