Richmond Hotels in Fukuoka

I booked a non-smoking room, but when I checked in, the room reeked of cigarette smoke. Fortunately, there was an air purifier, and after running it on high for half a day, the smell improved a bit. The room was very small, but that’s typical of Japanese business hotels. On the bright side, it’s close to a department stores and Tenjin Station, and the hotel breakfast buffet was truly excellent.

Double Room was big enough for 2 people. Wifi was good and amenities were all available at the 2nd floor reception area. Breakfast was okay though offerings were a bit limited. Staff were kind and courteous. Just felt bad celebrating my mom’s birthday here. We’re used to getting a simple birthday greeting or a simple mini cake for the celebrant in most of the hotels that we stayed with (often 4 or 5 star) but I guess they have a different culture and we respect that. Overall stay was comfortable as the hotel is located at the center of Tenjin near the luxury stores and famous ramen restaurants.

Booked 2 rooms for 2 night. The rooms were perfect for the price. However, we did encounter a slight inconvenience with parking. We rented a car for our trip so we needed parking. I already stated as in the remarks of my booking. Unfortunately upon arrival we were informed that the car park height limit is only 1.55 metre, which our car exceeded. We parked at a nearby car park with the staff’s recommendation. It was not difficult to access but it would be better if we were informed as before our arrival for more transparency.
