Saga is a quiet and pleasant city. The hotel facilities are a bit old, but its location is excellent, very close to the JR station and with bus stops nearby, making it convenient to visit attractions like Saga Castle and the Hot Air Balloon Museum. The hotel service is great, and they offer a public bath, which is a nice touch. The breakfast spread is quite generous. The 10:00 AM check-out time is a bit early, but they do offer free luggage storage, which is helpful. Overall, I'm satisfied!
[Best hotel for travel and business use]
Located in front of Imari Station (about 1 minute walk from JR side), it is convenient for travel and business use anyway.
In addition, there are many thankful elements such as hot spring facilities, free of charge for guests, and free drinks and breakfast after check-in.
I stayed at this hotel for a few days during my trip, and I highly recommend it! The location is fantastic. One exit from the JR station leads directly to the Combox shopping mall (where the supermarket on the first floor offers 50% off at 7 PM and 20% off at 6 PM), and also to what seems to be the most bustling street in the area – probably a main thoroughfare. At night, the trees lining the street outside are beautifully decorated with light strips. The JR station itself has plenty of great food options, so even if you're a bit late for lunch, there's no need to worry. On the other side, just a 2-minute walk away at the intersection, is the Comfort Hotel. Although it's not large, and the rooms are small and compact in a Japanese style, they are very clean. The rooms seem to have central heating; it felt warm as soon as I entered, as shown in picture three. Both check-in and check-out are self-service at machines by the entrance, which can be switched to Simplified Chinese, making the process smooth and seamless. If I had any issues during my stay, the hotel staff were patient listeners and actively helpful. The breakfast was also excellent; while not a huge variety, the taste was great, as seen in picture two.
The hotel's location is super convenient, right across from the South Exit of JR Takeo-Onsen Station! Check-in is after 3 PM, and the staff are very welcoming. There's a main building and an annex, and you use your room key card to access your room. At the front desk, you can find free toothbrushes, coffee, bath towels, and wooden combs. It's a shame they don't offer small packets of skincare products. Also, drinking water isn't provided in the room! There isn't a convenience store right outside the hotel, but there's a small supermarket inside the JR station.
Breakfast is a simple buffet with both Japanese and Western options; the milk is delicious! The annex on the 8th floor has a public bath and a laundry room, and the rooms are quite spacious. You can borrow bicycles from the front desk to get around. Overall, it's a great stay!
Escaping the high hotel prices in Fukuoka on a Saturday, I took the subway for an hour and a half to Karatsu and chose this hostel.
The experience was great. It's in a small city, just a five-minute walk from JR Karatsu Station. The front desk had instruction manuals, and the staff's English was fine. The check-in iPad supported Chinese.
The room had two separate restrooms and one shower room.
The bunk was spacious enough, with a small individual locker for valuables.
Everyone was very quiet, hardly making any noise. With earplugs in, I slept a full eight hours.
staffs are helpful and room is spacious, very close to Tosu station and some good restaurants nearby
just the parking fee info hasn't been updated, now isn't 200yen per stay
but isn't a big problem as there is a multistorey nearby, staff also suggested to park there
The location is very near to the tosu premium outlet.
It's like a boutique hotel with free parking lots.
Receptionists are very friendly and speak a good command of English. Will recommend.
The hotel had a very good location which is just next to the JR station. The room is very clean and has a good view. Staff at the reception are very attentive and helpful. Breakfast is a buffet style with excellent food. But it would be better if dessert or some fruit could be served too. Anyway the breakfast was very good.
This is a 70-year-old hotel. The female boss can speak Chinese and can communicate easily. The hotel has its own hot spring, which is very comfortable. The decoration of the hotel is very careful, every step is a scene, and pays great attention to details. The meals provided were delicious and the service was excellent. The hotel has three free bicycles that can be borrowed to go around.
A three-story hotel with only stairs. Breakfast is included, and you can also change to rice balls (meal in your room). Breakfast was delicious. It's not a card key, it's a regular apartment key. So you have to lock the door yourself when you enter the room. The area around the hotel was pitch black and there was only a convenience store. Don't expect too many amenities. Women need full equipment. Smoking is allowed, so there is a distinct cigarette smell. It's a very inconvenient place if you don't have a car.

GGuest UserI recently stayed at Hotel R9 and had a pleasant experience, giving it an overall rating of 4 out of 5. I highly recommend this hotel, especially for short stays like overnight visits.
The unique concept of individual container rooms at Hotel R9 adds a touch of novelty to the experience. While the rooms may not be spacious enough for two males sharing a double room, they are still comfortable for couples. I found the rooms to be clean and well-maintained, earning a perfect 5 out of 5 for cleanliness.
Although Hotel R9 lacks fancy facilities like hot spring pools, swimming pools, and saunas, it does provide a convenient laundry room. This is particularly useful for solo and family travelers on a long trip but with a short stay at the hotel. Additionally, the hotel offers the option to soak in a hot water bath, which is especially rejuvenating when feeling tired. In terms of facilities, Hotel R9 falls slightly short with a rating of 3 out of 5. However, considering its focus on providing a comfortable and unique stay, the overall experience compensates for the limited facilities.
The hotel's location is excellent, receiving a perfect 5 out of 5 rating when driving. As for the service, while it was generally good, there is room for improvement, leading to a rating of 4 out of 5.
In conclusion, Hotel R9 is a great choice for travelers seeking a short, convenient stay. With its clean rooms, excellent location for drivers, and a range of practical amenities, it offers a pleasant experience overall.

舒舒扬ShuyangOverall, this hotel is decent. It's conveniently located right below Ureshino Onsen Station, which is a plus. However, the lack of nearby restaurants and convenience stores is quite inconvenient. I'd actually recommend staying in Takeo Onsen instead, as it's a better area. On the bright side, the hotel staff are quite good; they were able to provide some useful information and recommendations, which was nice. Still, there's room for improvement.
CConnie Chan 21The hotel has only 10 rooms, the facilities are new, 10 points clean, Japanese style and wind, there is a massage function in the open air, the staff is 10 points good, will call to remind you to eat dinner and breakfast, originally need to leave the hotel early, can not enjoy dinner, The hotel specially arranged breakfast at an early time, very considerate service. And the quality of the food is very high. The water pressure is enough. Arranged to eat in a separate room, private feeling 10 points is sufficient.
EEvon Foo.We chose to stay here because hotels in Fukuoka were very expensive, and since we had the JR Pass, this location right beside the Tosu station was super convenient. The room was very clean, and the facilities were great — especially the included breakfast! It was a wonderful chance to try local Japanese dishes, and I really enjoyed it. The breakfast starts as early as 6:30am, which was very thoughtful — I still remember rushing to catch the 6:50am train to Fukuoka after eating, and I even had 5 minutes to spare, haha!
Staff were friendly and helpful, though English communication was a bit more limited — probably because it’s not a major station area. Still, everyone had a great attitude and tried their best. Overall, a very satisfying stay!
GGuest UserAnyway, the hot spring water was amazing! The temperature wasn't too high, so I was impressed by the thick, viscous quality of the spring, which meant I didn't get a hot spring rash even when I soaked for a long time. It's truly one of Japan's top three skin-beautifying hot springs, and it left my skin feeling silky smooth. The facility was also very well-maintained, so it was a pleasant experience.
For the price, including a hot spring and two meals included, I think it's great value for money.
There were plenty of meals and children's options, so I think families would feel comfortable staying here.
There were no issues with the common areas and functionality of the facilities, but I think it's about time to renovate the bathrooms in the individual guest rooms.
The overall atmosphere was that of a good, old-fashioned, affordable inn, and it was nice to be able to relax and enjoy the table tennis and manga corners.

Ddd17bbIt’s an absolute bliss to stay in Suginoya, a luxurious ryokan in Saga. Our saga beef sukiyaki dinner was truly memorable as the quality of the meat was top notch- so soft yet flavorful, something we will remember for a long time. We enjoyed relaxing in the private and public bath, soaking in the zen vibes of the hotel and lounging in the spacious and comfortable room. Staff was friendly and tried to converse in English as best as possible. 100% recommend as we felt fully pampered here like it was our honeymoon all over again!
GGuest UserThe ocean view bathtub room was so nice, and the private open-air bath was even better. I couldn't use the large bath because I missed the time check, but that's a shame. The staff were also very kind. However, if your purpose is to tour Karatsu, not just spend a leisurely trip at your accommodation or walking around the town, it's a bit far from the tourist attractions, so please think carefully about your schedule.
