The Grand Residence Hotel Hakata

The hotel is near Dongduohui Station, which is quite convenient to get in and out. It is also very close to Family Mart and Lawson. It’s only one stop to the airport and Hakata, but it’s quieter than Hakata. The room is more like a residential house, with large space, but everything is equipped, including a cooking stove, refrigerator, washing machine, bathroom with bathtub and shower, etc. The hotel has fully self-service check-in and check-out, which is suitable for people with social anxiety. The room was quite clean and there were no hygiene issues as mentioned in other reviews. But please note that the hotel does not provide daily cleaning or other room service services.

One thing to note when booking this hotel is that it is an apartment-style hotel that requires self-service check-in and check-out. Therefore, there is no lobby or anyone to assist. In fact, I didn’t pay attention to the timing of the reservation. I checked in early in the morning. After checking out of another hotel, I dragged my luggage directly to the hotel. I planned to put my luggage down first and check in when I could check in at 3pm. Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the underground entrance of the hotel, I found that it was an apartment with other residents. Since I had not arrived before the check-in time, I was not able to enter the building. When Nianzhu and other residents entered the apartment first, they were treated maliciously by other residents. I was treated badly and pushed me out of the apartment with my hands. I had no choice but to stand on the roadside and send an email to the hotel customer service to ask if there was a luggage storage service. Then I had to wait for a long time for a reply. Of course, the final reply was that there was no such service and I could only drag my luggage. Then take the subway to another station, find a locker service to store your luggage, and check in when it's time to check in. In fact, the internal sanitation and facilities of the hotel are good. However, if you have to move your luggage to the hotel, it is not suitable to book this hotel because the check-in time is later than other hotels, at 3 pm, and there is no luggage storage service. It is really It's relatively inconvenient.
