accomodations around beppu

I am going to Beppu in May, as my last destination of my tour, leaving Kyoto area.
I stayed at youth hostel when I visited Japan last year, so I ,this time, too , want to stay at youth hostels.
It's my problem that I can get one in Kyoto area but I can't in Beppu: all hostels are booked allready on the internet

Is there any way I can lodge one day or two, enjoying hot spring with my two brothers.
I am looking for an accomodation with 5,000 yen each night a person.
I will be appeciate it if anyone gives me some information.
Thank you.

Try Beppu Daiichi Hotel. It was about the same price as the hostel and is near Beppu station.

Thank you Angela.
Are there a lot of rooms in the hotel ?

Actually I almost forgot the thing since nobody answered my question for a long time.
It was a luck I saw this this morning after some time absence.

Thank you again.

If you really want to enjoy the hotsprings try the Ekimae Onsen.

They have private rooms as well as public rooms and many tourists (both foreign and Japanese) stay there.
Im not sure about the quality of it but many people told me they liked it. Plus, its only 2,500/person for a private room.

Also, there is a great Internet Cafe very close to it. The only Internet Cafe downtown Beppu.

If you have any other questions feel free to let me know.

It' very nice to find out such a reasonable lodging where I can spend in the Resort.
Then how do I make a reservation ?
I wonder if it's possible to lodge there without making resrevatons.
Thank you

I wish I saw this post earlier, after spending an entire day looking for a good beppu accommodation. Yes, Daiichi does offer non-smoking rooms.
