Very close to nishitetsu kurume Station. About 30min walk from JR kurume Station. Hotel bedrooms are individua not the capsule type. There is a super single bed and a small writing table. Free breakfast is just a small portion of curry rice with a cup of coffee. Overall, I quite like the stay at this hotel

nice hotel, the room is private but open on the top so noise could be a problem, kind of hostel with more room and privacy, breakfast is included but I lost my ticket so can't really comment on this

Great stay. The place was like newly renovated, very clean. Wish the room had a lock, because there wasn't one, just a magnetic folding curtain door, but glad that there's a big locker for storing valuables.

I had a trouble modifying my reservation online, so I called the property for onsite help. The agent showed no hesitation in helping me, and went beyond and above to make sure that he came up with the solution to solve my problem. The hotel is very clean and offers excellent amenities for the price they charge, and I highly recommend it for anyone who needs a place to stay in Kurume. Even for local people because it is cheaper than a taxi fare in some cases.

I’m a sole traveller and choose to stay in this hostel. I got a single room. The room is clean and cozy. It meant to be a shared space with other but it was so cozy with plenty of room space. I would stay in the same place with the good price.

This youth hostel in Kurume completely overturned my stereotype of youth hostels! The independent rooms are spacious and comfortable, with excellent privacy, which is completely different from the crowded layout of traditional youth hostels. The Japanese minimalist design with log tones creates a warm living atmosphere. The free breakfast is even more surprising. The Japanese set meal made with local ingredients is very sincere, and the miso soup with side dishes makes people full of energy. The location is also very convenient, and you can reach many attractions on foot. This cost-effectiveness of enjoying a hotel-level experience at the price of a youth hostel is a hidden treasure of Kyushu accommodation, especially for backpackers who pursue quality. I will definitely recommend it to all friends who travel to Kurume!

A great hostel, each person has a small single room, the location is also good, and it is convenient to eat around! The only thing is that the air conditioner is outside, and there is not much cool air coming in, it will be a bit hot, but overall it is still very good

I planned my travel itinerary like this: Fukuoka City - Kurume - Hita - Fukuoka City, and Kurume was the goat. The location of the accommodation was right in front of the station, so it was very convenient, and there were a lot of nearby supermarkets, Daiso, Don Quixote, 7-Eleven, restaurants, bars, karaoke, etc., so it was very convenient ㅠㅠ There was always a staff member at the front desk, so it was easy to get help, and even when I had to go outside to make a phone call or have a quick meal, I had to take my card key to the common area, which was inconvenient, but the facilities were really, really, really good, really the best.. The pajamas were so comfortable, the mattress was so comfortable, the pillows were so comfortable, and honestly, I paid more for a hotel in Hita than this hostel, but Kurume Hostel is incomparably better. It's not a hostel, it's just a small hotel. The facilities are really, really, really good. The staff were so kind, so I felt so good. This is probably the most memorable place in my trip to Japan 😭 Taiho Ramen is the best ramen I've ever had in my life. You have to go!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have to go to the park nearby!!!

It was a hassle to have to put valuables in a locker every time because you couldn't lock the room from the outside, but I think it's great that it's a great price and includes breakfast. All the facilities were well-cleaned, so much so that I felt bad if I didn't use them properly. I'd like to use it again if I have the opportunity.

It was close to the station, and each room was separated by a curtain and had a bed and a small desk, which was very nice. Breakfast was included and the price was reasonable. I'd like to stay here again if I have the opportunity.

It was my first time visiting this area because I suddenly found it. I thought it would be a place where I could get bored, but I think it was really good that I went. There are many delicious restaurants nearby, and I had a fulfilling day. Since I traveled lightly with just one bag, I have been to many capsule hotels in other areas, but this was definitely the best. The door may be loose, but there is a separate floor for women, so there are facilities that can be used safely. In addition to the shower room, there is also a powder room and a president's office, so you can use it for a long time without having to wait. I stopped by by chance and healed. The free brunch was also great. I will visit again next time.

It's very close to Nishitetsu Kurume Station. It's also convenient to go to Hakata and Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. You can also take a bus from Nishitetsu Kurume Station to Yoshinogari Park and Saga City via JR Kurume Station. There are many restaurants around the station and the hotel. The room is clean and has everything you need. I thought it was a little noisy when someone came back late at night and used a hair dryer after taking a shower, but there are earplugs so you can be quiet if you use them. Check-in time was from 4pm.

The hotel is OK, very nice and comfortable. But I don't know what's wrong with some guests. It's very noisy, it's 1am and they are still yelling.

The facility was clean. Eating and drinking was only possible in the shared space, but it was well-cleaned. The plan included breakfast, so I was able to enjoy it at my leisure.
