"We stayed for 3 nights in USA Riverside hotel, and it was very convenient for a family of 4. The room we rented was simple and practical (Japanese tatami style), and the location is good towards Usa shrine visit and as a base camp for the many other temples the region has to offer. Very good restaurants are easily reachable by car. All in all it procured a very pleasant stay."

"Cozy, clean & spacious room with a mini onsen. Pre-check in is advisable. 5 minute walk to Kirin Lake where beautiful scenery & cafes around. 10 minute walk to Yufuin Floral Village & shopping streets. "

"The staff is very kind and helpful, and the location is excellent, right across from Beppu Station. However, the hotel itself is quite dirty. There were stains on the bedside lamp, in the bathtub, and on the walls. The bathroom also had significant limescale buildup throughout. Overall, the cleanliness was disappointing and definitely needs improvement."

The hotel was great and had your own parking, but not walking distance from anything; however very close driving distance to tourist spots. Location of the hotel is right next to the expressway entrance to either go to Oita or Yufuin, your like in the middle. Overall excellent hotel!!

Amazing stay , clean ans roomy . You had to park short away and walk back about 3 minutes to the place but beside that everything is good. I will come back 100% , highly recommended for single or even big family, the place was enough to sleep 10 people , what an amazing deal for the price .

They are very clear that you cannot check in early or leave late good value for what we paid

I like the space and its clean. Parking is not available while we stay there. Its 2 parking for the whole place. But There is coin parking down the street if u keep driving pass the hotel on the right side. Only 400 yen 2100 to 9 am.

I liked the close knit community at the hostel and how close it was to the bus lines. The manager was very nice. I think the facilities are a bit old though.
