Ryotei Matsubaya

The hotel is situated 15 minutes taxi ride from the Beppu station. So we have nowhere to go that night. But it's good enough to have hotspring and drinks in the hotel. The staff is very polite and can explain what you can do in English. Then you were lead to the room and tips rejected. We booked the Kaiseki dinner and breakfast. The dinner time is either 6pm or 6:30pm and the breakfast time 8am or 8:30. The dinner is good but maybe my expectation is quite high, it didn't reach my expectation, especially for the sashimi. For the onsen, there are 4 private onsens and 2 public. One of the private onsens is closed. Therefore we can use 3. You can use the private onsen when it is not occupied. Just lock the door and turn the plate to the other side. But all the onsen are closed by 12 midnight. And there is a room with free flow beer and soda, but it closes at 10pm. Don't drink beer before taking hotspring. There is also an onsen in our room which can be used anytime. It's hot at night but not so hot in the next morning. Overall, the view is good. The staff is good. The food is good (just not so great) and the onsens are good. Beppu is a good place to stay a few days more

There is a free snacks & drinks bar for guest, thats is very thoughtful. The hotel is good for taking photos.

It was a very nice trip. The staff were very good with good service. And the food quantity was big, donno why some comment said they were not full. 😝 I have a very good memory there. Just one thing if there are more individual hot spring room will be perfect ^^ Definitely will go again

직원분들 친절하고 시설 너무 좋습니다. 올라가는길이 힘들지만 걸어갈만합니다

조식도 가이세끼도 온천동 만족합니다 추천드려요

近幾年住的温泉酒店中品質相當高的一家。我喜歡傳統日式庭院式酒店，這家酒店在山上，應該是那片區域最高的一家酒店了，房間內可以遠眺海灣，如果早起的話，可以觀日出。房間裡帶了一個泡澡池，不想去公共浴室的話，在房間裏泡也很舒服。還有4個私湯，和家人一起泡會很浪漫。餐食安排也很講究，都是包房，而且晚餐和早餐會安排在同一個房間，細節把握得很好。還有一個酒廊，酒精飲料、非酒精飲料全部免費，泡完澡睡覺前喝一杯威士忌非常贊。非常推薦！

非常不錯的酒店，我們選的房間比較大，相當於套間，外間是塌塌米和式客廳，可睡多人，內間是一雙床洋式卧室，床墊有些軟。我們包了早晚餐，懷石料理晚餐，定食的日式早餐，菜品種類非常非富；服務也非常到位，三個私湯，我們來的這個時間可以入住客人不多，所以早、晚去都不需排隊等候。總之，非常不錯的體驗。

超棒的中小型溫泉旅館！私人湯屋有四間，大眾池兩間，房間很新，晚餐也很豐盛。別府物有所值的選擇。推薦！

The Matsubaya Inn is a traditional Japanese ryokan with both beds and futons and is excellent. It has several hot spring baths, which importantly, have a flow source for freshness. (Some hotels just boil water.) We stayed for three nights and our room (Azami) was very conveniently located close to the best of the hot springs, a spacious one with a view of the city and bay. We could put up an 'occupied' sign and use it privately for 45 min. The kaiseki dinner featured both Japanese beef and fish and was Michelin class. The breakfast was Japanese style with fish, and I missed a Western breakfast with eggs. The facilities are clean and simple and is perfect for adults. There's no game center for kids. The only minor drawback is that the inn is a bit apart from the main attractions. It's a yen 2000 taxi ride to most places, and the bus stop is about 15 min away. We like to walk, so didn't mind that.
