Meow

No touch meow

It's a fantastic and adorable place. I was especially fond of the Pokémon card display opposite the cat photo wall. The free grapefruit juice mixed well with the free sake shot. What a way to begin our trip to Japan! The staff was especially thoughtful in helping us leave our luggage when we came early, and our luggage was super safe when we locked it outside on our last day to see the museums. Having the thicker cushion over the mat was a nice touch as well, and the little desk in the corner was cute to work on.

The laundry machine was out of order when we arrived, which was a little disappointing. The room was also a bit of a squeeze for two people, but we made it work since every item in the room was quite functional and handy.

Room is decent size and the bed is large and comfy even for two people. There is also air conditioning and a lot of windows you can open which is great. The facilities are clean and nice and the hostel is very well equipped.

The cats are cute but you can't just go and interact with them as you wish (Which is good for the cats but sad for the humans) Using the code locked doors was a bit weird and it took a bit of time on the first try but you get used to it quickly. The location is nice, it's not really close to everything but with a short walk we got to wherever we needed

The room was spacious enough. There bed was comfortable and AC worked well. There was filtered water, washing machine and a dryer for free to use. There was also a small shared area. Separate showers and toilets. There was a supermarket just in the corner and a convenient store as well. Metro station was 10 min walk away.

There was no air conditioning in the shared spaces and it was hot! The soundproofing was not the best, but it was okey for few days. Anyway it’s good to have some ear plugs when traveling ;) There wasn’t much around.

Good place to stay for access to ferry terminal. Easy to get to the Tenjin area from here.

Bed was very hard as it is a wooden base with only a futon cover. Check-in process was a little sloppy. Only asked to send passport details the day before arrival, despite booking well in advance. Saw the message on the day of my arrival and sent my details over but was only given check-in instructions 25 minutes before check-in time. If my partner didn’t have data for me to hotspot her phone, we’d have been stuck outside without a way of entering the property, until we’d managed to seek WiFi from elsewhere.

Self check in is easy via booking.com messages. The hostel is small with only 5 private rooms. Small but equipped kitchen with hot plate microwave and some plates etc. bathrooms have toiletries provided. Cats are a cute touch to see as you enter and leave the hostel and the whole place has a cosy vibe. Very clean too.

No staff onsite, luggage storage outside the building, city tax should be included in the booking not paid as cash. Facility is very small so if busy you may have to wait to shower or cook.

The double room we had was large and the facilities were amazing, clean and looked new. Everything you need is there, including nicely filtered and chilled water, and a window to watch the cats in the cats shelter! There is an amazing sake bar downstairs. I think it is only open on Friday and Saturday so plan ahead of you want to go to this gem. The location of the hostel is convenient and central. A JR train to Hakata is only a 13 min walk away. I would definitely recommend this great accommodation and I will definitely go there again if I am ever back in Fukuoka!

- Great facilities - bed was comfortable - staff were very helpful, especially when I managed to lock myself out of the room (door shut automatically with my phone with code in my room while I was doing washing) - easy access to trains and subways, being easily walkable in and out of town. - access to room and front door via key code provided

- Couldn’t quite interact with the cats, but still cute through the window. - my room was a bit cramped with a larger suitcase but not a deal breaker at all

It was convenient for a short stay. The facilities were very clean and well maintained. It is nice to have a towel, toothbrush, washing products etc available. There is a small kitchen with a small electric stove, a kettle, some water refill, and a washing machine which are helpful. We booked the small double bedroom so just be aware that the space is very small so you might struggle a bit to organize your belongings as a couple. Other than that, it was fine for the price/quality in Fukuoka.

Nekokura was cosy, comfortable and affordable. And the cats downstairs were cute - even if we couldn't do more than look through the windows, it brough some joy to the visit. I hope they all get adopted! Location was also decently close to a train line, and in a quiet area. Also thoroughly enjoyed all the cat paraphernalia.
