I was charged USD300 per night to stay at a filthy so called hotel.
First, the photos shown on Expedia were far from actual. The room wasn't bright and the room was very, very old and had insects in the tatami room. We actually killed a small spider by the door to the balcony (inside).
Second, after we entered the room, we checked around, the open air tub in the balcony didn't have water running and when I looked up, there were dozens of spiders crawling around. There wasn't any other bathroom we could use to shower or bathe, we couldn't do it with spiders. Even though a day before I stayed at an onsen hotel with open air bath in the balcony, it wasn't anything like this.
Third, there was very old and smoke smell when we entered the room. Felt like someone has smoked inside and no one had stayed for quite some time.
Fourth, everything was old. Not classic, but old.
Fifth, the room seemed haven't cleaned and not ready for stay. Even with all lights turned on, it was still dark and creepy with all above.
How could you charge such price for this? I went to reception and told them I couldn't stay in a room with spiders. They offered us another smaller room with everything inside old and smelly, so I refused and left afterwards to stay another hotel. It was tiring as I checked in late at night and there wasn't any available room at nearby hotel so I had to drive 1 hour to Beppu to stay at a much cheaper but modern and clean hotel.
Stay away from this "hostel".
