This time, I stayed on the 4th floor. As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, there was a strange, somewhat stinky smell, and the air purifier shown in the picture was running on full blast. When I opened the room door, a fishy smell hit me. Turning on the air conditioning on high helped alleviate it. I stayed for two nights, and on one occasion, I mistakenly went up to the 5th floor – there was no strange smell at all! I can't believe the hotel assigns rooms this way, it's unbelievable!
The toilet paper holder next to the toilet, as pictured, is positioned very awkwardly and bumps into your legs. It's not at all like a Japanese hotel. I've been to Japan many times, from old five-star hotels to rural motels, and this hotel provided the worst experience.
It's stinky, and the room facilities are bizarre. Even if it were cheaper, I wouldn't stay here a second time.
The hotel's location is convenient; it's just a short walk from Hakata Station. Staying near Hakata Station is definitely very convenient. This is my second time in Fukuoka and my second time staying in the Hakata Station area. Coming from Tokyo on my westward journey, hotels near Hakata Station are much more expensive. This time, and the last time, the hotels I stayed at weren't even as clean as a motel in Oita's countryside, and the experience wasn't as comfortable as small inns that cost several times less. Nor did they offer the old-money five-star service of established five-star hotels. This is just right outside Hakata Station. Next time I come to Fukuoka, I definitely won't stay in the Hakata Station area.
