Grand Base Beppu Ekimae

酒店自助入住形式，因此沒有前台服務人員，最後一晚我們房間突然失去wifi訊號，由於沒有前台服務人員又通知不到負責人，我們要用自己的數據上網，是一個不好的體驗。酒店的燈光較暗，那麼多燈掣也照亮不到整個房間。不過酒店距離JR別府站很近，房間也有洗衣機，浴室也有乾燥模式可以把衣服吹乾，是挺方便的。

酒店設施很先進，有自動開燈功能，煮食工具齊備乾淨，房間有一點暗，洗衣機操作容易以及乾衣速度快，唯沒有衣物柔順劑。 地點方便，附近有超市及7-11便利店，方便補給日用品，對面亦有溫泉湯，非常方便。 自駕遊，門口有一個車位，先到先得，如果沒有位可泊到別府車站前，一晚最大500日元。 但如果透過trip.com預約酒店，建議出發前跟trip.com聯絡取得大門密碼和check-in號碼，我們check-in那天，因沒有收到email告知密碼，需在門口等候以及花費致電酒店職員方能進入酒店。 整體而言，除了check-in時未能取得大門密碼外，也是很佳的體驗。

位置很好，別府站西口走三、四分鐘便到酒店。酒店整齊乾淨，但燈光有點昏暗。房間超大，有三張雙人床、一張三座位梳化和一張六人餐枱 。設施齊備，有微波爐、雪櫃，雪櫃不像普通酒店的小型雪櫃，而是可放雪糕的那種，有洗衣機，洗完的衣服，可用浴室寶吹乾 ，有個智能裝置，在装置發出指令，可以預先將浴缸注滿水，方便浸浴。酒店沒有溫泉，酒店對面有間像小澡堂的溫泉，¥200一次，但要自備毛巾和梘液。附近還有個小市場，魚生又平又新鮮。 這間是沒有職員的酒店， 要收到酒店確認 email 才可check in，沒有行李寄存，有點麻煩，要放在火車站儲物櫃。另外，附近有間名字差不多一樣的酒店，在google上找，只找到別的一間，最終要致電酒店職員，查詢確實位置。

When I first made a booking, this hotel-apartment offered a reasonable price for a 2-night stay for 4 persons. It's located within Beppu station - a 3-minute walking distance. There is no proper shelter during a rainy day, but we found out a shortcut through a sheltered parking lot to avoid raining. Please note that this is an unmanned accommodation, so please make sure that you get all necessary information, such as pin code etc. before areiving. If you manage to do a pre check-in procedure, it would be much easier to complete the whole check-in process. There was no keycard, but they will provide you with two pin codes - one to enter the front door and the other one for your room. This place also doesn't have any elevator, so if you bring some big luggages and get a room on the second floor, please be ready to carry them all! The room we booked came with 3 king beds, so enough to accommodate 6 persons. There was a small kitchen with a decent-sized fridge, a dining table with some benches, a super large smart TV (incl. easy access to Netflix, YouTube etc - but you need to login with your own account), a washing machine (but no drying function), and a very hi-tech bathroom where you can fill up the bath tub automatically and a ventilation to dry up your clothes.
