3-Star Hotels in Saga Prefecture, Japan

Tiny room with an old and very small Queensize (??) bed. Everything seems to be really old, so does the dust in the corners of the room or of the ventilation in the bathroom. Service was okay... we could convince them to leave our bicycles outside the hotel entrance (no way to leave them at the ”luggage storage” inside the lobby). Drinks like coffee, hot chocolate, tea and soft drinks are for free. Microwave free. Also they have a bath house but no sauna for the girls - unfortunately. Best option in town.

[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 originally planned a trip to Fukuoka but came to Saga for the Saga beef. I booked the convenient Comfort Hotel Saga. The room was really small, and they didn't provide drinking water. On the first floor, they only offered basic cotton swabs and toothbrushes, so I was glad I brought my own cotton pads and shower cap. Check-in and check-out at the hotel were self-service. The hotel's location is indeed excellent; it's within walking distance to Saga Castle and the Balloon Museum. It's also right next to Saga JR Station, and you can take a bus to the famous YouMe Town in Saga. The bus stops are well-connected and right by the JR station, making it very convenient. However, at over 700 [currency unit] per night, the value for money isn't great when it's not peak season. If you prioritize convenient transportation, this place could be a good choice.

Pros: Very close to Takeo Onsen Station, practically door-to-door. There's a hot spring on the 8th floor, though it's on the smaller side. The breakfast has a good variety, but it can get very crowded. You can borrow bicycles, which saves you from walking. Cons: I mistakenly booked a smoking room, and it smelled heavily of smoke – something to be aware of if you're sensitive to that. The soundproofing is poor; the noise from housekeeping outside my door was very loud, and I couldn't get any sleep, especially since I had a fever.

KARAE HOTEL boasts an incredibly convenient location, right in front of Karatsu Station. The ground floor connects to a cafe, a Chinese restaurant, and a creative Japanese Omakase spot. Izakayas, the century-old Takeya Unagi restaurant, and a tofu shop are all within a 5-minute walk and offer delicious food. Upstairs, there's even a mini cinema and co-working space, so you'll never be bored, even on a rainy day. I stayed in a female dormitory bed, and the space was well-designed, simple, and clean, with no strange odors. Each bed had a curtain for excellent privacy, and the mattress and pillow were very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. There were power outlets and a small lamp by the bed, along with a space to put your phone and valuables – the details were very thoughtful. The public areas are also worth mentioning. The toilets and showers are separate and very clean. The communal kitchen isn't large but has all the basic facilities for simple heating or making instant ramen. The laundry room has coin-operated washers and dryers, making it convenient for longer stays. The entire space is quiet and welcoming, perfect for solo female travelers. Double rooms are also available for couples or families. Downstairs, it's just a 3-minute walk to catch a bus to Yobuko, Karatsu Castle, and Niji-no-Matsubara. The service is very personalized and attentive.

Hotel index :has a car park ,but all of full house. Mostly for local only. The hotel entrance staff -security-man always black face talked to u: if you want to parking,you should go parking outside.

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.

It is an old house with history. It is very artistically decorated and filled with many paintings and calligraphy. The location is some distance from Saga Station, and a taxi from the JR station costs about 1,000 yen. If you walk, it takes about 20 minutes and you will pass through China Town. There are many restaurants and coffee shops on the road. Diagonally across from the hotel is Tamaya (a long-established department store in Saga), but this road is extremely quiet and the Japanese-style rooms have a very nice mood. But the area is really too small. After making the bed at night, there is basically no place to stand. On the first day of check-in, the hotel may have many guests, but something ”bad” happened. First, the toilet in the bathroom was not wiped clean. The waiter came to apologize sincerely and moved us to another room. Then we went downstairs for dinner, but when we came up, they should have made the bed while we were dining, but maybe there was not enough service staff. , the bed was not made. But fortunately they were all resolved in time. The proprietress of the hotel is very elegant. There is a service staff at the front desk who is very good in Chinese, Japanese and English. There is no problem in communication. We stayed for two consecutive days, and they specially prepared different contents for dinner so as not to eat the same thing two days. This is very thoughtful. If you come to Saga and want to try a quiet family hotel, but don’t have time to go to the mountains in the countryside, then this one is highly recommended.

There is no elevator in the building, and although there are floors up to the 3rd floor, you must use the stairs. It was a little difficult because I had a lot of baggage. Perhaps because of the location, there were many students staying there. The service level is low compared to general business hotels. The inside of the room is reasonably spacious and there are no inconveniences. I just said it's fine if you take the time to stay overnight.
