I recently stayed at a super new hotel in Kumamoto, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The location is fantastic—right in the heart of the city, making it incredibly convenient for both sightseeing and shopping. The hotel is just a short walk away from bustling shopping areas, so it’s easy to explore local boutiques, malls, and cafes. Plus, the famous tonkatsu restaurant is just around the corner, which was a big highlight of my stay. If you’re a fan of this iconic Japanese dish, you’ll love how close it is!
One of the best features of this hotel is the parking. It’s easy to access and very convenient, especially in a busy city like Kumamoto where parking can be a hassle.

The staff were friendly and professional, ensuring a smooth check-in and offering helpful tips about the area. Whether you’re in town for business or leisure, this hotel’s location and convenience make it an excellent choice. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Kumamoto!

Great value for what we have paid for. Efficient check-in process. High quality public bath facilities with two hot hot springs (one indoor and one outdoor), one sauna and one cold water pool. Although this hotel is listed as a 3-star hotel, we would say it is much better than many 4-star hotels in many regards. The employees at the check-in desk speak decent English too.
Very Good

A lovely hotel to stay in close to Kumamoto Castle. The rooms are nice and clean with friendly staff who are very helpful.
Bath areas on the 12th floor are also quite nice and have a range of offerings inside.
Breakfast was included with the price we paid, however, all the food was a little tasteless, if paying for breakfast, it is easy to go downstairs and get something but I’d probably go somewhere else if paying.

For breakfast, you order the main dish from the menu, and salads, pickles, and drinks are served buffet style. There is a specialized chef and it was very delicious.

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.

Japanese hotels are so expensive on weekends that it hurts my heart! This hotel has a good location and a good price. It looks a bit old, and there are many Japanese guests staying there. The facilities are neither good nor bad.
The advantage is that the location is good. It is next to the busiest commercial street in Kumamoto. There are trams to Kumamoto Castle and Suizenji Temple, which is very convenient for eating and shopping.
There is also horse meat curry rice in the evening, around 9 o'clock in the evening. I have never eaten horse meat before. It's my first time trying it. It's a little sour and the meat is a little rough, but free is the king.

TTraveller C2025.01.12
I stayed at this hotel twice. The second time (this booking) we had a room on the older (?) wing and it was almost twice the size of the first one. So for this review I will only share feedback on this “older” room.
This room was big and thus good for us as we had 2 large luggage and more space in the room allowed us to open and pack our luggages with ease.
The bathroom was large with the large traditional bathtub. Toilet had bidet and etc but lacked heating which made it very cold in the winter. Basin tap was still the old turn types which was not eco friendly as it’s more difficult to shut it off.
Location was just opposite the train station which was excellent. But the nearest convenience store is also only at the train station which is about a 5-7mins walk away.
Breakfast was curated to suit the Japanese palette more and ends at 9a.m which is really way too early!!
We left something behind in the hotel but they managed to send the item back to us at our new hotel (still in Japan) which was highly appreciated.
Despite a few minor shortcomings listed above, the pros still outweigh the cons and I’ll definitely be happy to stay here again.

Since a group of four booked two rooms, the hotel could arrange them in rooms on the same floor and next door, which was very convenient.
I chose this hotel because it is close to the airport bus stop and nearby shops where it is very convenient to buy wild food.
The hotel itself includes breakfast. Although it is not star-level and there are not many types of food, we are very satisfied even if our requirements are not high.

沙沙布列The location of the hotel is super close to the Castle but requires some walking if you are heading to the main shopping streets. The view was great and I enjoyed breakfast with the view. Receptionists were helpful and friendly. Parking was available with 1000yen. However, the room is highly non-soundproof, as I can hear a guy snoring next door the whole night as well as hear them opening the door and talking, which had caused me a really bad night sleep.
AAladdin2024HOTEL IS very CLOSE TO JR Kumamoto by walking. There are a flowing Breakfast . You can pick up food take out for your day trip. The Service is fast and easy.
Room is standard tiny size.
ミミルミルみるI was debating between two hotels, but decided on this one because they were so kind to me when I inquired the day before. I stayed in a twin room.
You can see Kumamoto Castle and it's within walking distance. You can also walk to the downtown area. There are three affiliated parking lots.
I got lost on the way to the parking lot, so I called them for navigation.
The hotel staff were friendly, polite, and had great smiles. The hotel is clean and new. The bathroom is also clean. There is an air purifier and two pillows. You can see Kumamoto Castle from the rooftop terrace, which is great 😀 and they even offer a drink. They provide cords, various rental services, and it's great that they can store your luggage after you check out 😊 I'd like to use this when I visit again.
XxiaowangcnjpThe hotel is right next to the train station. You can see it when you get out of the station. There is a large supermarket opposite. It is a very good hotel. The price is also very good, as long as Kumamoto is the next stop.
DDavidRoom was reasonably large. Free drinks 18:00 to 21:00. Large bath. Friendly staff. Try the hotel restaurant below ”Ryosai” for some sashimi (horse included)
黒黒川映子I also really liked the hot springs ♨️. Both the bed and pillows were very comfortable.
Both dinner and breakfast had a wide variety of dishes and were delicious!
On New Year's Day, they even served zenzai and kinako mochi.
After checking out, we got a free ticket to the nearby bathhouse (Agannasse), where we enjoyed the open-air bath and rock sauna until after 3pm. I went with my daughter, and she also said it was a nice change of pace and she really enjoyed it. 😊
HHala leunghala48Shopping, eating and riding are very convenient. There are railways and buses a few minutes outside the door. When you leave, there is a bus outside the door to reach the airport. The sound insulation is very poor, and you will hear the footsteps upstairs when you live downstairs. The toilet smells and the toilet is seeping.
GGuest UserVery convenient in the shopping street. There are many paid open-air parking lots next to it, and it is very convenient to drive by car (the parking lot building contacted by the hotel is a little farther away)
No matter how you eat, shop, and play, it is in the nearby 15-minute business district, and it only takes 10 minutes to go to Kumamoto City. There is a convenience store next to the hotel, so don’t worry about being hungry at night.
The hotel has a certain history, although most places have simple renovation, but many places still have obvious traces of years of use.
The soundproofing of the room is not very good, the children in the corridor are running and screaming are very clear. And there is a strong canal smell at the door, from the bathroom next to it. There is no power seat by the bed, and the TV can only watch the local TV station.
As a hotel that rests for one night in the middle, it is more than enough. 
SSunny TsuiThe price is very favorable for a hotel in the Kumamoto area with free parking. The room is on the small side and can barely accommodate 2 seats. Of course, I read the reviews before booking, so I definitely accept it. It only takes about 15 minutes from the hotel to Kumamoto Castle. If you are only staying for a short time, it is worth considering.
GGuest UserFacilities: The room is quite small and the suitcase is a bit difficult to open. The hair dryer is not strong, in addition to this, there are some. Forgot whether there is a refrigerator.
Hygienic: clean
Environment: It's a long way from the tram stop, not far from there is a bus stop. There is a Rosen across the road. Not in a lively area.
Service: The attitude is very good.
