Great

Great location with less than a minute walk to the station. Room size was fine since it was just me staying. Definitely liked the size of the tub and it’s deep. Definitely some downsides that I only found out after checking in. The room is so dimly lit. Even the bathroom is a dark blue with a blue bathtub. Such a hassle to put on make up because of insufficient lighting and even in the bathroom the sink has various cutouts so there’s not much space for any product. There is no air con, just a knob for “low or high temp”. (My room stayed on the cooler side like I wanted, but don’t like that I couldn’t feel the air or see the exact temperature). The walls were thinner than expected, you could hear the neighbors and people in the hallway. No problems with staff, check in and check out were easy. Bed was fine, glad to not have a twin bed.

The location is perfect, 2 mins walk to subway station. ( that means you can pretty much go anywhere within 30 mins in fukuoka) Not too much space but more than enough for a single traveller.

Positive: Nice location with many shops and restaurants. Free drinks and DJ playing music between 5:30-6:30pm. Nice decor on the first floor and hip and young vibe. Nice staff and very smooth check in and check out. Negative: Bathroom was very small and tight, and looked like they just painted over super old bathroom. It definitely needs serious update. Sink had some cracks and water draining super slow for both sink and bath tub. Both room and bathroom were very dark, either it may be intentional. It is hard for woman to put make up on in that dark environment. No YouTube or streaming platform options on TV. Tv remote kept going on and off and couldn’t change channel consistently. Breakfast is not a buffet style so they will give you a preset plate for Japanese or Western style. The foods were “creative” and I couldn’t go for less or more of what I wanted and didn’t want. It felt a little wasteful to me. I may stay here again, maybe upgrade my room next time, just because of the location and free drink service for the one hour window.

No one speaks English at this hotel, “Western Breakfast” is totally Japanese and no substitution. Rooms are extremely small.

ユニットバスの流れが非常に悪く、シャワーを使っていると足首まで水が溜まってしまう。

The hotel is nicely located, close to major restaurants and activities but fairly close to the Fukuoka Canal City, where you can find the Red Light District style of businesses. The room and bathroom I stayed in were very small; I felt very cramped. Because of the small size, the room DOES NOT HAVE ANY CLOSETS. In fact, it is so small that you cannot walk around both sides of the bed. No place to open even a carry-on suitcase and very few hangers. The bathroom was clean, but there is no fan if you are going number two. Therefore, I had to do my business downstairs in the lobby bathroom before going to bed.

Nice place to be, close to everything a traveller would need.

Had a pleasant stay

A fairly basic hotel, barring the excellent staff. The lack of being able to control the room temperature/aircon and few amenities available are unfortunate for somewhere with this excellent location (and again, staff)
