Hotels in Kumamoto

"Conveniently located in the city centre, walking distance to the main bus terminal and shopping district.  Room was clean and quiet with needed amenities.  Complementary afternoon drink (n/a) service was a nice touch.  Friendy staffs, snd mostly conversant in English.  Highly recommended and will definitely stay again."

"Relaxing sanctuary hotel in a super location minutes away from JR Kumamoto. Well trained polite staff and courteous, gave a kumamoto kids kit for my kids! Free coffee, easy lift access to the mall, parked at the basement for 1000 jpy only per night."

"The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic. Right downstairs, you'll find a bustling shopping street brimming with drugstores, yakitori restaurants, and all sorts of snacks – truly everything you could ask for. Both Kumamoto Castle and Suizenji Garden are within easy walking distance, and it's also very close to Tsuruya Department Store. A highly recommended choice!"

"The hotel is conveniently located, just a 5-minute walk from Kumamoto Station's exit. It's the second high-rise building to the left within the station plaza. In terms of facilities, the King room we initially stayed in was quite small, a common characteristic in Japanese hotels. It was rather inconvenient having to place our 26-inch suitcase on the sofa just to open it. The next day, we switched to a Twin room, which offered a significant improvement in space. The decor, apart from the bathroom, was generally acceptable. Overall, it was a decent, though not outstanding, stay."

"For my three relaxing days in Kumamoto, I picked this hotel, which boasts a prime location. We relied solely on the tram for all our excursions, and its superb location meant most places were just a couple of stops away – truly fantastic. I also got to visit all the restaurants and cafes I'd been eager to try. Sakuramachi shopping mall is directly opposite, just a five-minute walk away, and there's a bus stop there with services to the airport. The hot spring on the 12th floor, featuring both indoor and outdoor baths along with a sauna, was a wonderful bonus."

"Perfect location at heart of Kumamoto, full of retail and dining facilities nearby; But slightly indirect circulation (Take lift to mall 2/F, then take shuttle lift to 10/F hotel reception, then take lift down to hotel room floors) Room quite small but comfy, luckily with a view of Kumamoto Castle Parking at affiliated carpark, with discounted fare for hotel guest ($1200yen)"

"Vessel is a budget type accommodation... You get just enough of what you need and if you want anything more or anything specific, you help yourself to their amenities on the 2nd floor reception. Location wise was perfect for us and the rooms are all insulated so you don't really hear the noise outside. They don't provide carpark but have a tie up where you pay a fixed rate to a very close by carpark operator (about 250m away only). We were 4 persons (2 adults and 2 teenagers) and even though the room came with two beds each sized between a single bed and a queen sized bed and a third roll out mattress, you still need to pay more for the bed linen, comforter and a pillow."

"The staff is friendly and provide good service. The bath house is normal, but can tell its age. I feel the room is very dusty, it’s making my hand itchy and nose sneezy all the time. The bathroom is also old with water marks and mould. I am a fan of Dormy Inn and have stayed in Dormy Inn branches at Aomori, Hachinohe, Tokyo, and Osaka before, but this Kumamoto branch has the most room for improvement. The hotel is in walkable distance to the castle, so it is great."

"Really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel is very new and relatively spacious for Japan. The bed size is slightly bigger than normal for 2 people (1.6m wide) and comfy so we really appreciated that. Room comes with all the amenities including a kettle. They also have universal wall socket which is a nice touch for people with different plugs for electronics. Great location too - just minutes of walk from the tram station and the main shopping area. Strongly recommend!"

"Good if you like old school charm hotel, room and service. Castle view room was a disappointment - have to stand at the side of the window to actually see the castle :( Location was great and parking was onsite. There’s a driveway at the front of the hotel and from there, the staff guided us to their onsite parking. It’s as advertised JPY1000 per day but on day of checkout, parking is until 11.30am. After that, cheaper to park elsewhere (JPY100 for 15mins vs JPY200 for 2hrs at Kumamoto Castle)."
