Hotel Karae

Hotel Karae

📍 1783 Kyomachi, Karatsu
★★★ 9.1 (241 reviews)

"All in all is good in the area for this price range. One shower in the 8 beds dorm could be too little if most needs a shower in the morning before checking out by 10 am"

Karatsu Seaside Hotel

Karatsu Seaside Hotel

📍 4 Chome-182 Higashikaratsu, Karatsu
★★★★ 9.3 (99 reviews)

"I recommend staying in the East Wing; it's newer. There are so many activities available, remember to bring your swimsuit! On the 8th floor, there's an open-air hot spring pool. On the 2nd floor, the relaxation area has four saunas; follow the marked order and timings for a full 26-minute session. At 3 PM, there's a complimentary welcome cake in the hotel lobby. Both the included dinner and breakfast are buffet-style and the food was plentiful and delicious."

Mercure Saga Karatsu Resort

Mercure Saga Karatsu Resort

📍 4 Chome-9-20 Higashikaratsu, Karatsu
★★★★ 8.7 (244 reviews)

"We had a 4 night stay at Mercure Saga and had a wonderful time! The lobby is very spacious and beautifully presented. In the afternoon, they provided afternoon tea with snacks and complimentary drinks, which was a lovely touch. We stayed in an ocean-view room with futon beds. It was very spacious and comfortable for our family of three. The breakfast buffet was definitely a highlight, there was such a wide variety of food to choose from! The staff were incredibly friendly, polite, and welcoming throughout our stay. Special thanks as well to the Kudon services for their great hospitality. Thank you again for such a pleasant stay. We were very impressed and will definitely come back again!"

Karatsu Daiichi Hotel Riviere

Karatsu Daiichi Hotel Riviere

📍 1-9 Higashimachi, Karatsu
★★★ 8.8 (66 reviews)

"Rooms are quite spacious for japan, smoking area available and parking was free of charge. No 7-Eleven or Lawson nearby, only a small supermarket - this hotel is only recommended if you have a car as otherwise everything is hard to reach."

ONCRI-KARATSU

ONCRI-KARATSU

📍 1669-55 Hamatamamachi Hamasaki, Karatsu
★★★ 8.9 (40 reviews)

"The 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."

📍 2 Chome-4-40 Higashikaratsu, Karatsu
★★★ 9.8 (39 reviews)

"An antique and very unique Japanese hotel. The hotel staff are very nice, warm and keep their distance from guests. If the hotel can provide free shuttle service to Karatsu Station all day long, it will be impeccable."

Hotel R9 the Yard Karatsu

Hotel R9 the Yard Karatsu

📍 1535-3 Yamamoto, Karatsu
★★★ 8.8 (48 reviews)

"The room was very clean. The air-conditioning was also comfortable. There was a microwave in the room, so we had frozen food for dinner at the nearby Doramoli. The shower and water pressure were great, so we had no trouble taking a bath! It was great that we were able to get one frozen food per person for breakfast from the lobby! I chose curry rice, and while the curry roux was very delicious, the rice wasn't that great. However, since it was free, it was understandable. I would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you for your hospitality!"

The Trailerhouse Village Yobuko Seaside

The Trailerhouse Village Yobuko Seaside

📍 552-12 Tonoura, Karatsu
★★★ 8.5 (1 reviews)

"The front desk staff didn't speak English. I had ordered a BBQ dinner, but when I checked in, they said they wouldn't provide it and that we should go to the supermarket to buy ingredients and come back. Luckily, I found that food had been prepared in the room, but the staff didn't know the details. I showed him the printed Japanese order, but he still said they didn't have it. It was already very late, and I had been driving all day. This misunderstanding was really upsetting!"

"There is an elevator, but it feels a little cold in the winter. The main dishes were squid and steamed raw abalone. Parking is free across the street, and only cash is accepted."

"This is the first time I've been to a hotel that was so bad. There is a barista and water server on the first floor, and there are also plenty of paper cups so you can drink freely. There was a cockroach about 2 cm in size inside the paper cup. There were also two other cockroaches, making a total of three cockroaches we saw in one night. Also, I received a phone call from the kitchen just after 6 a.m. about the fish for breakfast. The conversation on the phone was so accented that I couldn't understand it at all. For breakfast, there was usually fish, so I don't know what the call was for. In the changing room of the public bath, there was a lot of fine dust, which bothered me when I was barefoot, and the towels were hard. No consideration for children. I went expecting that Emperor Showa had stayed there in the past and that it was a tangible cultural property, but I was surprised. It seems like he is resting on his past laurels. I understand that cockroaches can't be helped unless it's a sterile room, but it's too cruel. There are old but hygienic accommodations. The staff had a bad attitude and I shouldn't have gone to Karatsu. If you want to feel the worst, go for it."

Hotel Karae ★★★
"It's not far from the train station. It's on a shopping street and the building complex has multiple entrances, so it takes a little time to figure out the direction. You need to get into the elevator and go upstairs to get to the lobby and rooms. The interior of the whole building complex is pretty cool, and I think it's a new project. There is a cafe and a souvenir shop on the ground floor. And a cinema, it seems. I think it's a good choice for travelers visiting Karatsu."

Karatsu Seaside Hotel ★★★★
"The hotel room was really spacious, clean, and bright. The view from the balcony was stunning, and the hot springs were fantastic, especially the open-air ones which were so relaxing. They even had cakes for afternoon tea, and the buffet selection was great too! 😊"

Mercure Saga Karatsu Resort ★★★★
"We booked a Japanese-style room with a sea view balcony. I really like the bike rental, shuttle service and refreshments! They agreed to book the shuttle for me via email because I cannot phone calls. Staff are nice. Room is clean and you can enjoy the public bath, including a small sauna room. All in all, this is a good place to stay with your family!"

Karatsu Daiichi Hotel Riviere ★★★
"Great place for a night stay. The room has its own massage chair and the view of the river makes you feel calm and relax. The public bath open till 10.30 pm so you can enjoy a hot bath after dinner. For those who drives, it is free parking. Only downside the mattress is very soft and the pillow is kinda shallow."

ONCRI-KARATSU ★★★
"Great spot if you’re looking to unwind in tranquillity. We took the room with bath in sea view. The view was no doubt fantastic but not a great idea in winter as the shower is also in open air. The bath is facing the beach so bath with cautious (tested and yes, passerby can see ya if you stand up to move from the tub). Since it’s open air, the shower curtain tends to get into your face when the wind blows. Nonetheless, the room was spacious which was what we wanted. Breakfast was sumptuous. Enjoyed the peace along the beach."

"This is my first stay at Ryokan and it was perfect. Personnel' English is not perfect but it's enough. Dinner and breakfast were delicious and healthy and the portions were big; the Ryokan building and its garden were peaceful and beautiful. I'll be happy to visit this place again later!"

Hotel R9 the Yard Karatsu ★★★
"Cozy, and unexpectedly, there was a free light meal. There are many large supermarkets and drug stores around, so it is very fulfilling to go shopping at night. However, there is also a solemn funeral home nearby, which is a little more low-key."

OnoueRyokan ★★
"Excellent little hotel. The room looks very new and looks to have been recently renovated. Set on a high ground, the view is excellent from the room we stayed in. The inn keeper are all very friendly and helpful. Most do not speak English but we are thankful for Google Translate. That was an efficient bridge across communication barriers. We stayed three days and used the stay to explore Karatsu and Saga. We had a breakfast and dinner plan. The food is excellent. The manager was worried we will be bored with the menu after two days and changed the main dish for us. Very thoughtful. It was an extremely nice stay. It also provided charging points for electric vehicles and is pet-friendly. It was an excellent hotel to escape from the hustle of city life."
