If I visit Kumamoto again in the future, I will definitely stay in Ark Hotel. It offers easy access to Kumamoto Castle and Sakura Machi.
I also enjoyed the lounge service of the hotel. The lounge is on the 10th floor of the hotel. I could see the Keeps of the castle. Wonderful view!! The lounge is open to the guest from 3 pm to 11 pm. Guests could enjoy free coffee and drinks. Good place to relax.

Everything is good
Great location, 5mins walk from convenience stores, Kumamoto Castle, and 10mins from the shopping area
Also great amenities
They have a free manga section, and they serve free drinks in their lounge with a Kumamoto Castle view

Excellent hotel. The hotel is well located. Near the castle. The room is clean and cozy. The staff is friendly. On the top floor there is a bar with a great view, where you can drink free soft drinks in the evening.

The hotel is close to Kumamoto castle and not far from shopping/restaurant area. Parking fee for small car is 900 yen per night (check out 10 am).

The hotel has perfect location. We can see the castle from our room and also at the lounge on the 10th floor. The breakfast is beyond expectation. We would stay here again if we come to Kumamoto.

Location is great. There are many restaurants and bar after two blocks behind the hotel. One thing is that there is no parking lot for our car and we have to follow the map provided by the staff. There are three parking lots suggested but the one with discount seems a bit difficult to find. There is no bar at the hotel for guest to enjoy during the stay. The room is a bit small but that is fine for one night stay.

Location is great, near the Kumamoto castle, view from hotel window overlooks the river and castle. Room can be stuffy but unwise to open the windows as insects will enter at night
