Comfortable Stay

I loved my stay in this hotel! The room was very convenient, quiet, and surprisingly comfortable. It had everything I needed, including a memory foam pillow that ensured I had restful sleep. Each day, I was provided with fresh towels and pajamas, which added an extra touch of comfort. I felt truly at home here.

The hotel offers a comfortable stay and is conveniently located between Hakata and Tenjin areas, making it easy to explore the local markets and shops. However, the property shows signs of age, and the breakfast options lack variety. The service experience was disappointing, especially when it came to mailing back a rental device, which added unnecessary hassle to my stay.

The hotel has a good location, about a 20-minute walk from Hakata Station, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms, while clean, are quite old-fashioned and in need of renovation, which was a bit disappointing. The breakfast was reasonable but served in a less-than-pleasant room. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay for a short visit but might not be suited for longer stays due to the outdated facilities.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the location is really convenient with easy access to the subway and plenty of restaurants nearby. The rooms are clean and functional, and I appreciated the comfortable beds. However, the lack of ventilation and air conditioning was really disappointing, especially for a warm November stay. The service could use some improvement, as the staff were not very accommodating and struggled with English.

6.4/10

I had high hopes for this hotel due to its name, but it fell short in several areas. The location was quite convenient, just a stone's throw from the subway and surrounded by restaurants, yet my experience with the staff was quite frustrating at times. The rooms were mostly clean and functional, but nothing to write home about. Add to that a rather bland breakfast and a few other mishaps, and it made for a stay that was just okay, but not what I expected for the price.

Rooms
