Hotel Analysis
Based on 4 sites · 3,572 reviews
Located in the heart of Kumamoto, this hotel opened in 2022. Guests frequently praise its prime location and room size. Being within walking distance of the Shimotori Arcade and Kumamoto Castle makes it an ideal base for sightseeing and shopping.
Many reviews highlight that the rooms are spacious for a Japanese business hotel and feature a separate bathroom and shower area. The system allowing guests to pick up necessary amenities in the lobby and the direct access to a convenience store on the ground floor are also major pluses. Guests also appreciate the friendly staff and the presence of Korean-speaking personnel.
However, because it is situated in a busy nightlife district, some guests in lower-floor rooms have noted noise from nearby izakayas or the street. Additionally, travelers with cars should be aware that the parking process can be complex and involves extra fees.
