3-Star Hotels in Kumamoto City

it was a very cute place!! the owner seemed like she loved the place very much, and was decorated very nicely. it’s a women’s only hostel, so i was glad that i was born a woman. i got one of the rooms - very clean, and the shred kitchen was nicely decorated. you can see the castle on the rooftop.

Because my bookings were split, my second reservation was for a superior room instead of a deluxe room. However, since it was on a higher floor, the bathroom odor was gone. The room was slightly smaller than the deluxe, but still acceptable. So, I'd recommend trying to get a high-floor room if possible. The parking lot near the hotel is excellent, costing 1200 yen from 3 PM until 11 AM the next day. You can ask the hotel for a discount coupon. When checking out, insert the parking ticket first to calculate the fee, then insert the discount coupon, and finally pay with cash. The ramen shop across from the hotel is quite good too.

This hotel is perfectly located directly opposite Kumamoto Station, just a short walk across the road. The check-in instructions were very detailed, including information in Chinese on how to use the password lock, the onsen (hot spring), and details about drinks and breakfast. I really appreciated the wide selection of pillows and the variety of skincare products offered, including body lotion! It was a lifesaver as I hadn't packed any hand cream or body lotion. The breakfast, featuring both Japanese and Western options, wasn't vast but was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. The room size was typical for a Japanese hotel, and the soundproofing was excellent; I usually struggle to sleep well, but I had a fantastic night's rest here! The onsen was also a great bonus—perfect for soaking after a day of sightseeing. They even offer evening drinks and a 'goodnight tea'! The hotel management clearly put a lot of thought into traveler needs. I would definitely choose this hotel again on my next trip to Kumamoto! A perfect 10/10 travel experience.

Since I had a 7-day JR Pass, proximity to a JR station was my top priority for this trip. The hotel is very close to the JR station, and it seems to attract a lot of business travelers. My initial impression was that some of the younger staff at check-in lacked a bit of enthusiasm. But I let that slide. After getting to my room, I couldn't find the Wi-Fi password anywhere. I went downstairs specifically to ask, and the response was 'in room'. I still tried to figure it out myself first, searching every corner, but still nothing. So I went back down. The older staff member was very friendly and helpful. As soon as she mentioned 'TV', I immediately understood, as many hotels back home display it on the television. She even drew a diagram to explain! Usually, when you enter a room and the power comes on, the TV turns on automatically, and you'd see it. But this time, I had to turn the TV on myself, which I hadn't thought of. It just goes to show that service attitudes can vary among different staff. In Japan, I've always admired the professionalism across all industries, but this was the first time I've encountered such a service attitude from a staff member. Overall, this hotel's proximity to the JR station and its excellent value for money make it worth staying at.

The hotel is located very close to near to the train station with AEON Mall just across the road. The hotel also provides sufficient parking space for guests.  We appreciated the hospitality and professional services provided by the hotel staff.  For the American breakfast, it’s yummy with various drinks.  The hotel also provides free welcome drinks starting at 1600 hrs for guests.  In terms of cost effectiveness, it’s ranked highest.

From the moment I checked in until I checked out, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They greeted me every time we crossed paths, and on the morning of my second day, they even called to ask if I wanted my room cleaned. I asked for just extra towels instead of a full cleaning, and they happily provided them. When I needed to use the washing machine but only had a 500 yen coin, they gladly exchanged it for 100 yen coins without any fuss. The hotel's location is fantastic – literally a minute's walk from the arcade shopping street. There are plenty of great restaurants and izakayas nearby, and both Sakuramachi and Kumamoto Castle are within walking distance, which was a huge plus. The room itself was the perfect size for one person, so I'd definitely consider staying here again if I travel solo. I didn't use the public bath because of my tattoos (I didn't ask if it was allowed), but the bathtub in my room was great for a relaxing soak. There are also two convenience stores right in front of the hotel, perfect for grabbing snacks.

It's a 5-minute walk from the airport bus stop, in an alley next to an arcade, behind a department store, and within 20 minutes of walking to the south gate of Kumamoto Castle. It's the perfect location for sightseeing in Kumamoto.

The hotel location is great convenient to travel around and the tram stop just 6 min walk. Room size is good for triple sharing . Bed is comfortable. Room is clean and Comfy .

Having lived in Japan for over ten years, I have to commend this hotel. It far exceeded my expectations. 1. Right outside the door is the largest local bus terminal, making it incredibly convenient to get to the airport, Aso, Amakusa, and Fukuoka. 2. The price is half or even less than half of surrounding hotels. I originally had no expectations, thinking it would just be a cheap place to crash. 3. While the hallway decor looks a bit dated, it perfectly aligns with the MUJI団地 (housing complex) design philosophy. You even use a traditional key to open the door. 4. Although the room has an old-style Japanese business hotel decor, it's exceptionally clean and very spacious. The room design is well-thought-out, making it comfortable and secure to use. 5. Both check-in and check-out at the front desk were handled with meticulous care and polite, professional service. This is something even much more expensive hotels I've stayed at elsewhere often fail to deliver. 6. I stayed here for five consecutive nights and had a great experience. I would definitely choose this hotel again for future family trips.

友人とのステイでしたが予約からチェックインまでもスムーズで、また室内の設備なども行き届いており大変満足度の高いものになりました。また利用したいと友人とも話をしておりました。 テレビのリモコンの電池が切れていた？のか使えなかったのでチェックお願いします。 素敵なステイになりました。ありがとうございました。
