Hotels near Fukuoka Castle

The hotel is near NAKASU station which is way better than the 2 more popular stations. Hakata and Tenjin Stations are too big and too crowded. Do try the River Cruise nearby.

Aside from the bed being a bit too soft, the room was spacious enough to fully open my suitcase, and having a bathtub was a plus. If you go out the back door, there's a Don Quijote, and it's even better because there's a drugstore and supermarket in the basement. Although the supermarket doesn't offer tax exemption, it gives an 8% discount, which made it cheaper than Don Quijote, and that was a bit frustrating. The Don Quijote building is connected to the subway, so use the escalator. There are also many Gunze stockings at the drugstore.

I stayed for seven consecutive nights and was very satisfied! The front desk staff were friendly, and from 3 PM to 8 PM daily, the lobby offered complimentary coffee, matcha, and chocolate, along with cup lids so you could take them back to your room, which was a thoughtful touch. The B1 public bath wasn't huge, but it was sufficient, and going there every evening to shower and soak in the hot water was very helpful for relieving fatigue – I was very pleased! The hotel is about a ten-minute walk from the station, which was quicker than what the map indicated. Across the street to the left of the hotel, there's a 7-Eleven that offers tax-free shopping, and to the right, a FamilyMart also offers tax-free shopping. There's also a 24-hour SUNNY supermarket. Within a ten-minute walk, you can find FUK Coffee, FULL FULL Bakery, Canal City Hakata, Kushida Shrine, and more. In the other direction, towards Hakata Station, there's also delicious DACOMECCA Bakery, mentaiko udon, and SHAKE SHACK burgers. The area around Hakata Station has many great shops and restaurants. Right next to the hotel is Sumiyoshi Shrine, which connects to four other shrines – I highly recommend visiting them. And I especially recommend staying at the Hotel Hokke Club!

Exit Hakata Station through the underground mall's West 6 exit, walk straight for one minute, and you will arrive directly at the hotel. The location is very convenient, with bus stops, the subway, and the JR station nearby. The room faced the Hakata Station area where there was a construction site, but there wasn't much noise, and since you're likely out touring during the day, it shouldn't be a big issue. The room size is quite acceptable for a Japanese hotel. The hotel breakfast is very delicious with a decent variety of choices, and the French toast was especially tasty!

Except for the carpet in the room looking a bit dated, everything else was a wonderful experience. The bathroom and toilet are separate, the shower equipment is great to use, and the bathtub is also very large, though having grab bars next to the tub would be much friendlier for seniors. Customer service responds to messages very quickly, and the front desk staff are all very patient and enthusiastic in helping guests with their needs. I am really glad I ultimately chose this hotel ♥️ The room space is much larger than ordinary hotels, and there are two FamilyMart convenience stores right next to it along with a Lawson. The next time I come to Fukuoka, I will still choose Forza.

Great location, extremely convenient for getting to any department store or underground shopping street. You can skip adding breakfast. The room is spacious, and accommodating three large suitcases is no problem at all, but there was a noticeable cigarette smell in the hallway on the 13th floor.

very nice hotel! staff was kind and helpful. room was nearly clean and very comfortable with a 12 month old.

# Grandpa Hua's Recommendation | Fukuoka 6-Day, 5-Night Trip – The Hotel I Stayed at for 5 Consecutive Nights 🏨 For this 6-day trip to Fukuoka, we didn't switch hotels constantly. Instead, we stayed at "Hotel Monte Hermana Fukuoka" for 5 consecutive nights. When I choose a hotel, I prioritize transportation and local amenities, and this hotel's location was very convenient for our itinerary. 🚇 About a 2-minute walk from Watanabe-dori Station 🛍️ You can also walk directly to Tenjin for shopping 🍜 Convenient for evening meals and getting around This time, two of us stayed in a Basic Twin Room: 📅 September 4th to September 9th, 5 nights total 💰 Actual payment: NT$16,243 🛏️ Standard Twin Room The average cost per night was approximately NT$3,249. For two people, considering the location and convenience, I think it was a good value. Since we were staying for 5 nights, I was very concerned about laundry 😂 The hotel has coin-operated washing and drying machines, which are really practical for longer trips. There's also a key card security door on the accommodation floors, making us feel safer when returning to the hotel at night. If your Fukuoka trip includes Tenjin, Hakata, Nakasu, or even day trips to Dazaifu or Yufuin from here, I personally prefer to find a conveniently located hotel and stay there for the entire duration. This way, you don't have to pack and unpack every day or switch hotels, making the whole trip much more relaxed. 📍Hotel Monte Hermana Fukuoka Hotel Monte Hermana Fukuoka ホテル モンテ エルマーナ福岡 #GrandpaHuaRecommends #FukuokaAccommodation #FukuokaHotel #FukuokaIndependentTravel #FukuokaTrip #TenjinAccommodation #WatanabeDori #Fukuoka6Days5Nights #JapanIndependentTravel #HotelMonteHermanaFukuoka

It was clean, smelled wonderful (like Aēsop, that kind of scent!), had a great atmosphere, and everything was perfect! The main bath was very luxurious, and the open-air bath was just right. There was also ice and a microwave on the 4th and 8th floors, which was convenient for eating. The staff were incredibly friendly, and they offered umbrella rentals when it rained, plus welcome tea! The breakfast was quite expensive but delicious, though I think it was a good decision to only book it for one day! The location was a bit awkward; it was further from Hakata Station than I expected, and Tenjin was quite a distance. It's quick by subway, but next time, I think I'll need to stay closer to Nakasu River. All the Koreans on the elevator were saying the location was too inconvenient and difficult... Anyway, it was great! Also, I had booked two rooms for consecutive nights and requested adjoining rooms in advance, and they gave us rooms right next to each other, which was absolutely wonderful! Thank you, the service was top-notch! Oh, but the view was really not good! We were on the 12th floor, the top floor, but it was just a view of a building's rooftop!
