all rooms we stayed in are very spacious and clean. exceptional breakfast at thier Bistro La Atori, a variety of local japanese dishes and also continental options. the coffee shop at the ground floor, Kamakiri Coffee, is a plus with their fine cuppa and artisinal bread. location is a minute away from watanabe-dori juction, less than 5 minutes from tenjin shopping district.

Great location for its price! The hotel is close to the subway's Watanabe-dori Station as well as buses heading to Tenjin, Sumiyoshi, and Hakata Station. Within a short walking distance is Sunny (24 hours grocery), Sun Road, Yanagibashi Rengo Ichiba, FamilyMart, Lawson, and tax-free drugstores like Ohga Pharmacy. An Anytime Fitness branch is also nearby. From the airport, take the subway to Hakata Station, transfer to Nanakuma Line for Watanabe-dori, take Exit 1, then it's less than 3 minutes walk to the hotel. If you have heavy luggage going home, I recommend taking a taxi to the airport from the hotel. It's less than 5km and about JPY2,000 to the international terminal. For the room, I was very happy with the cool air conditioning as well as the water heating in the bathroom. Enough space for a solo traveler with large luggage open on the floor. Housekeeping and staff are very helpful. Coin laundry was easy to do because of the multilingual signs. If you need coins, just exchange your bills at the lobby. My room is in the older annex building. If you have the budget for the rooms at the newer main building, I recommend it as it looks beautiful!

Very nice lobby, immediate at ease stepping into the hotel. Lift to every floor. Room size is big for twin bed arrangement. Bed size is also good. Super single size. Compact toilet as of most Japan hotels. Coin Washing machines are available at 8th floor. Dryer machines are available too. There is ice machine and water dispenser machine too. Bottled Drinking water is provided and replenished daily. Walking distance from Watanabe-dori subway station (closest station). It’s also walking distance from Daimyo area. Lots of cute eateries around. Drinking places are plenty too.

None.

Breakfast is versatile and delicious, even better than lots of brunch place, it’s so goood!!

There’s a weird smell air with heavy humidity when I turn the AC to warming up room mode.

great location, 40 minutes walk to Sumo, good food from the Yatai stalls or local restaurants on the door step or just 20-25 walk into Tenjin…brilliant. basic amenities but comfortable enough for 2-3 night stay. Helpful front desk. Good option for Sumo, and a great price. Check out the power boat races if they are being held when you’re there too.

parking arrangements are irrational. There IS an affiliated parking lot which is safe and close by BUT you only get 22 hours discounted parking so you have to get a ticket from reception for 1000 Yen every day but within 22 hours of when you pulled in to the parking lot last. Then go and exit and re-enter the same parking lot if you are staying more than one night. We managed to do this ok without too much disruption to our visit and it does represent a big saving on parking overall, which would have been 2500 for each 22 hour period, buuuuut why not just do a rate for 24 hours? it did not make sense and with a language barrier there was no way I was going to get an answer to that question.

For the money I paid (about £50 at the time of writing) this hotel was very good value. The room is quite small, but it was clean (bar a very small amount of mould on the curtain), the bathroom was nice and a good breakfast was included in the price. For a night or two I think it is definitely worth staying here if you are looking for a more budget option.

Even though I chose a non smoking room, it smelt a little bit like cigarette smoke when I entered the room. Fortunately the window opened fully (admittedly I'm not sure how that's allowed in a multi storey building, if you have children be very careful) so I could let fresh air in and after I did that for a couple of hours I didn't notice the smell anymore. My other main complaint is that the pillow was not good, but that's unfortunately pretty common in a lot of Japanese hotels.

The hotel is located near Watanabe Dori station and up from Yakuin station, coming with a bit of luggage is no problem due to this. The rooms have been very good and clean, altough a bit old fashionedly designed while being very recently renovated. We have gotten rooms on the 12th floor on which the view at night was spectacular. The bathroom comes with the expected ameneties and more can be claimed from the lobby. There is a restaurant inside the hotel where breakfast is also served. The breakfast consists of a buffet style menu where a great veriety of foods can be selected. Coin laundry machines are also available in this hotel. It is a very nice hotel which did tick all the boxes for our purpose of a leisure stay.

- Modern, more European-style Hotel, central - the bus-stops and the metro is just a couple of meters away. - If you haven't booked breakfast (if you are not an asian nationality - you guys are might eat such amazing dishes for breakfast every day - so for you it won't be that interesting maybe), I would absolutely recommend that! One of the best I have ever eaten! Nice ambiente, much to choose from, also soups/ warm cuosine. For appr. 10 € it is a dream! - The room for 1 person is really functionable, you get everything you need. The bed is absolutely enough for someone with 180-185 cm height. - They gave you amenities.

- The room is totally usable, clean and neat - but if you have 2 suitcases... well, it becomes pretty soon tight.

this an excellent example of Japanese business hotel. the staff was very helpful, the cleanliness was outstanding and the breakfast offered a wide choice of both Japanese and western food and is not to be missed. This was my third stay here. although the room was small by western standards, I would rate it among the best budget hotels I have stayed in and outstanding value for money

the hotel caters for parties of Chinese. The breakfast room could be full if you came down at the wrong time, but it soon cleared

-I am not sure if the hotel was very affordable by Japan standards because we booked almost 3 months ahead of our travel but nonetheless, the value for price we paid is top notch. -Room for 3 was so spacious. There’s a separate small sala set/living area within the room. Beds (even the extra sofa bed) was very comfortable. Hotel is generous with toiletries and amenities. Rooms are cleaned every day and fresh set of towels are also provided daily. -Internet was very stable and very fast. -Check in and check out process was quick and easy. -Staff spoke good English and very helpful. -Location is excellent. Easy access to Hakata and Tenjin via subway and bus. While these stations are 2-3 stops away, I preferred the Watanabe-dori area since it is quieter. -Breakfast can booked with the room but for those who opt out, there’s a good Japanese restaurant beside that serve’s affordable meal sets. There’s also plenty of convenience stores and other restaurants nearby.

-Aircon and heating is centralized so room can get very hot even the lowest heating setting.
