Kurume Hostels

We took the Yufuin-no-Mori route back from Beppu and stopped at Kurume for one night. It was quite convenient and clean. There was a big supermarket nearby and a convenience store not far away. But there was really nothing to see in Kurume, so it was just a place to pass by.

The hotel building itself is old but I think it is compact and comfortable. I had a unique fragrance whether it was a smell eraser or aromatic agent in the room. The unfortunate thing was that there was a Japanese confectionery in Kagoshima Prefecture that was the expiration date 2 days ago in the refrigerator. I thought that the sterilization work was busy due to the influence of the new corona. In addition, there is a free breakfast service, and I think it is good to stay again.

One of the best service i ever experienced in my life. We were having difficulty trying out the famous yakitori in this town (FYI, you would need to make reservation in advance which we were not aware of), as such we went to check with the receptionist at the front desk at around 11pm on the last night of our stay. The receptionist was very helpful. She tried her best to assist us to call multiple yakitori shops nearby and recommended us the one just opposite our hotel. We placed our order (for take out orders to our hotel) with the yakitori shop that was recommended by the receptionist but unfortunately, we did not collect our order in full as we did not check our orders collected and realized that we missed out on a few items after collecting the orders to our hotel rooms. To our surprise, our order that was not collected was delivered to our doorstep by the receptionist lady. The service experienced was beyond our expectation. We would like to express our greatest appreciation to the staff that assisted us. Thank you very much! どうもありがとうございます。

　Our accommodation in Kurume was the east exit of Nishitetsu Kurume Station, Toyoko Inn. As its name suggests, it is located １ minutes walk from the east exit of Nishitetsu Kurume Station. Nishitetsu Kurume station had a front entrance on the west exit side and the east exit felt like a back entrance. Just near the hotel, there was a delicious Yakitori shop and it is a convenient place. The hotel itself is the Toyoko ink quality itself. The facilities and facilities are simple, but the cleaning is also well done, bright and clean. Free breakfast buffet is also simple, but within the allowed range. The Toyoko ink quality with reasonable price and security is good. 　

30 minutes by rapid train from Hakata. The hotel is located in the corner of the station rotary. It is integrated with the Shinkansen, and there is a high-speed bus to Fukuoka Airport, and it is perfect for the location, but I think it is difficult to understand the entrance of the hotel when it comes by car. Because it is a business hotel, interior and amenities are like this. The air conditioner was replaced with the latest one or we were able to spend comfortably. The shower toilet is complete and the bathtub is no problem. However, the oldness is undeniable. There is also a cafe next to the front desk, but the time between check-out and check-in seems to be closed and the electricity is gone. It's just staying in business, so it's like this in Cospa.

A hotel located in the center of Kurume City, just off Nishitetsu Kurume Station. I didn't know that Kurume was famous as an event venue and wedding hall and had guest rooms. It is safe to climb from the first floor to the front desk once, and then move to the guest room by the elevator dedicated to the guest room. In addition, there are limited places to smoke in Japan, including electronic cigarettes, but it is rare that the hotel here has a smoking room on the front floor and a smoking room that can smoke in the room.

The building itself is old, but clean and clean. I stayed in a twin room, but it was very large, and the TV and bed were large and comfortable. Parking before check-in was also available, there was no additional charge, and parking fee was 500 yen per night. In the morning, we had 3 kinds of free bread and drinks. The thing that I was worried about was that Wi-Fi was unstable, the voice of the corridor was heard in the room, and the room was far from the elevator. When the older person stays, I thought it would be nice to be asked for a room close to the elevator.

I was able to spend a pleasant time with the cleanliness that could dispel the oldness of the building

The front desk staff were very helpful and easy to understand, giving directions to the parking lot and explaining the fees! The room was smaller than expected, but the bed was spacious and our family was able to sleep comfortably! I'm thinking of staying at Esprit again next time.
