Kumamoto Hotels with Bars

Despite the name, it is not a new hotel. The hotel has undergone renovation, but it still retains a bit of an 80's vibe (e.g. a bar/lounge in the lobby with live music in the evening and metal keys to access the rooms). The breakfast buffet offers good quality and a wide selection. The room is clean with run-of-the-mill, utilitarian furniture and furnishings. There is free VOD. Hotel policy stipulates that the room will be cleaned every 3 days. Otherwise, there is a charge of JP¥ 1,000 for bed makeup & room cleaning. There is no charge for garbage collection, towel replacement. The bus stop for the airport limousine is literally outside the front entrance. The hotel is also conveniently located near the JR Kumamoto Station, streetcar stop and Amu Plaza Mall (a 2-min walk). Hence, there are a lot of dining, shopping and transportation options.

I love this place! Although the location is bit far away from the downtown of Kumamoto, the equipment and service is very good~ it was a cozy stay for me. Arigatou (ありがとう)!

The hotel is nice, pretty clean and has everything you need. Though being a little compact it is good in this price segment.

First-class accommodation, first-class service attitude, first-class view outside the window! Let me say a few points. The master at the door helped us take the boxes and put them away when we left. The lady in the lobby also helped us push the boxes to the room! When the window of the room is opened, it is Kumamoto Castle with a wide view! Good location, downstairs is all kinds of food, drink and entertainment, so comfortable! Satisfied!

Great Location and nice staffs are covering the old fashioned facilities which had been 60 years since its establishment. I love all of this hotel including the breakfast. Japanese style breakfast is recommended. Thank you all staffs who supported me during my stay.

Check-in was not smooth. First, the staff said they couldn't find our reservation record, and then they said they had found it. When we had helped the children to take a shower in the room, the staff knocked on the door with another guest and said they gave us the wrong room, so We packed our luggage, went to the lobby to go through the formalities, and then went to the correct room. It took a while... Other aspects were actually good, with complete facilities, a powerful air dryer, and a washing machine. 

There is a Japanese + Western style from the Showa period. The breakfast is amazing. The scenery, environment and food are all impeccable. The wooden lattice windows in the room are amazing! Think small, feel big! Japanese flower arrangements are really beautiful! It's just that the Hermès dinner plates on display were a bit awkward 🤣🤣🤣 It's a bit far from the station, but the journey was smooth and not uphill. Next to it is a beautiful park and the former residence of Natsume Soseki. The cultural environment is very good. We also went to the Kumamon Bear Office. The whole two-day trip was very enjoyable!

The room is clean and comfortable. The only inconvenience is that you have to climb stairs to get up and down from the bed. Be careful when going to the toilet at night. Be careful when moving around the room. If you need to park for a self-driving tour, it takes about 3-5 minutes to walk from the hotel parking lot. Parking is not allowed in front of the hotel, which may be a bit troublesome if you have a lot of luggage. The hotel lobby is equipped with a locker, laundry room, microwave, ice machine, and water machine. It's very relaxing to enjoy the breeze and drink beer in the common area at night. There is also a Cafe in the lobby, which sells coffee and wine. Downstairs is a shopping street with many restaurants, convenience stores, Donki, and drug stores. A few minutes' walk away is Kumamoto Yatai Street. Super convenient!

The hotel is located right at one of the very busy shopping streets of Kumamoto with many shops and restaurants. We had had very pleasant stroll there and had dinner and snack. The room is very spacious and clean. The two matt glass windows cannot be opened per se. One has light and the other very little. The soap provided is of better quality than that of the other hotels I have stayed in. The dispenser says Kao.
