Overview
Beppu Onsen Hotel Yell is a bayside hotel a 7-minute walk from Beppu Station, with a striking exterior in the style of southern France. On the roof are a view bath and an open-air bath fed by onsen water flowing straight from the source, open from 3 p.m. until 10 a.m. the following morning. Children who have not yet started elementary school co-sleep free of charge, and there are roomier options for families, including the 57.1 sq m Fours room. There is free parking for 33 cars, and the breakfast is popular for its muffin with vegetables and bacon. It is an easy base for sightseeing in Beppu with children.
Rooms
Guest rooms come in five types - single, double, twin, triple and Fours - and every room has its own bath and toilet (a combined bath-and-toilet unit, with a washlet bidet seat on the toilet). The twin is 25.3 sq m for 2 guests, with two beds measuring 140 cm wide by 200 cm long. The double is 21.2 sq m for 2 guests, and the triple is 27.7 sq m with three beds 120 cm wide. The standout is the Fours room: at 57.1 sq m it is more than twice the size of a twin, and with only three of them in the hotel it is designed for groups. It has four double beds along with a tatami area and a sofa, and takes 2 to 4 guests. For a family stay, this Fours room is the easy choice on space alone. Every room has an empty refrigerator, so you are welcome to bring in your own drinks.
Dining
Breakfast is served at La Mandale, the restaurant on the first floor, from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. It is a muffin breakfast, popular for its homemade berry smoothie, English muffin with thick-cut bacon, minestrone packed with vegetables, colorful Caesar salad and onsen-cooked Ran-o eggs, an Oita specialty. Breakfast costs 1,500 yen for elementary school children and older, and 900 yen for children under elementary school age. On plans that include breakfast, adding meals for a co-sleeping baby or toddler costs 1,100 yen as a children's breakfast charge. Special dishes for guests with allergies cannot be prepared, so please confirm in advance if you are traveling with a child who has a food allergy.
Baths and Onsen
On the rooftop there is a view bath on the 10th floor and an open-air bath on the 11th floor, both natural onsen flowing straight from the source. The water is a weak saline spring containing sodium bicarbonate, said to be beneficial for skin conditions, women's health concerns, rheumatism and nerve disorders. The baths are available from 3 p.m. until checkout at 10 a.m. the next morning, but from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. they are closed for cleaning, so on consecutive-night stays there are hours when you cannot bathe. There is no private-hire bath and no sauna, so bathing as a family without worrying about other guests is not possible.
Family-Friendly Features
The hotel welcomes families with children, so the whole family can stay together. Children who have not yet started elementary school can co-sleep, and there is no charge when they are booked without meals or futon bedding. From elementary school age, children use a bed at the same rate as an adult. There are no barrier-free facilities and no childcare service, so please confirm in advance about moving around the building and keeping an eye on your children.

The hotel is a 7-minute walk from JR Beppu Station, 15 minutes by car from the Beppu IC on the Oita Expressway, and a 1-minute walk from the Beppu Kitahama highway bus stop.
