I was here four nights while doing some work in suburban Oita. Hotel staff speak very limited English, so have your Google Translate at the ready. Wifi connectivity is excellent. The room is tiny, as is customary in Japan, and the bed is blissfully comfortable, which was a nice surprise. Tiny bath with Japanese style tub/ shower. The whole room electric requires you to put your key fob into the slot by the light switch. If you fail to do this, nothing will work. This also means your heat will not stay on while you are away. However, the heater quickly bring the room back to temp on your return. There is a small refrigerator that stays on, plus an electric teakettle and green teabags in the room. On the first floor is a wonderful onsen, free to guests and accessible to the public with ticket purchase. There are separate onsens for women and men, with only a few hours the onsen is unavailable. Breakfast is available in the attached restaurant, but must be paid for separately; you can let them know at check-in. The fee for breakfast is very reasonable for the quality. The breakfast is an extensive buffet that changes little day to day, but is more than adequate. The Hotel Topaz is a short walk from the Ozai station.
