"This hotel is great for those traveling by car. It's about an 8-minute drive to the Kitakyushu Outlets. The area around the hotel is very quiet, so if you prefer a lively atmosphere, this might not be the best choice for you. The breakfast is mainly Japanese style, and there aren't many options. It costs about ¥125 per person, so I'd recommend eating breakfast elsewhere."
"Great stay at JR Kyushu Station Hotel Kokura! The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The location is excellent, right above JR Kokura Station, with shopping centres and plenty of eateries nearby. Kokura Castle is also within walking distance.
The complimentary lounge with free drinks and light snacks was a nice bonus and a great place to relax after a day out."
"Excellent value for money! Fukuoka was too expensive on Saturday, and we were planning to go to Karato Market anyway, so we decided to stay here for a night. It saved us ¥1000 on accommodation! In the evening, we went up Mount Sarakura to see the night view. Shin-Shin Ramen was also on our must-try list. It seems to be super popular in Fukuoka, but the taste was just okay. Definitely recommend this hotel for staying in Kokura!"
"Location of the hotel is good, parking in the surrounding area is very convenient! Bathroom design is hilarious! Curtain of the bathing tub is good and several hanging hooks were broken! The most important thing is the tub is very slippery without any anti slipping coat! Too dangerous! A anti -slipping mate Should be included!
For the breakfast, food choices are various but the quality needs to improve! Egg roll just doesn’t taste like traditional recipes!"
"The Hotel is located very close to the Wakamatsu Railway station. The area around the hotel is a very quiet area with few shops around. I arrived the hotel at around 2200 and by then all the shops around was closed. I managed to find a family mart near the station and for dinner i went to Sukiya which I understand is open till 3 AM. The staff was very courteous and the checking in process was seamless. The rooms were small and very similar to other Japanese hotel rooms. The bedding was clean and neat and the linens were nicely tucked in. Since the air conditioning units remote was in Japanese language , had bit of a trouble in getting the AC started. However this was immediately resolved by the staff at the front desk and the AC cooling was very good. The toilet was small and was similar to other Japanese hotels. The supplies in the toilet was nice and adequate.
The Morning breakfast spread was nice with western and Japanese cuisine and the food quality and taste was very good. I will definitely recommend Route Inn to all business travelers travelling to Wakamatsu / Hibiki Nada Area"
"Just walk straight ahead from the railway to the hotel. There is a large bookstore and market next to it. It is also very convenient to go to Kokura Castle. Along the road there is the area surrounding Galaxy Railway 999, so you can take a stroll and take a look!
I stayed in a Japanese-style room, and the mattress was ready as soon as I entered. I thought it would be hard to sleep on, but it was unexpectedly comfortable. It's very clean and the bathroom feels spacious."
"I loved this hotel when I first saw it, it’s exactly like it’s advertised, there is a whole shelves of comics in the lobby and you can bring them to your room and read ! The breakfast is also very thoughtful and delicious! I booked this place because I want to visit Mojiko and Shimonoseki, not to mention personally I think Kokura has better shopping experience than Hakata, with lesser tourists and you can get the items that are always out of stock in other big city! One negative side during Friday night there are a lot of drunk people walking like zombie around the station 😸 and I got slightly lost to get back to the hotel at night, the front desk staff is helpful and friendly."
"The loft bed wasn't made; the cups and blankets were just piled on it. If you wanted to sleep there, you had to make the bed yourself. Also, the lady at luggage storage would only let you store your bags until noon after checking out. If you have a 28-inch suitcase, you might want to reconsider this hotel, as you might not be able to fully open it. The breakfast was decent and filling, though. Being a hot spring hotel, men and women have separate bathing times. The toiletries provided were very comprehensive and self-service."
"The location was ideal for my work trip. Fuss-free inn with unmanned reception after midnight. If you are travelling with family, I'd suggest staying around Kokura area where the hotels have bigger rooms."
"Exiting JR Kokura Station, it's an 8-minute walk to the hotel's back entrance. The room was a bit small, but it was well-equipped and comfortable. The hotel also offers a free hot spring bath. The breakfast, in particular, deserves high praise; it was incredibly rich and varied, comparable to a five-star hotel in China. Both check-in and check-out were very quick. Japanese service truly is exceptional!"

Great
GGuest UserIt was located in a really nice place if you like calm quiet locations (Mojiko). It’s also by the water so it’s really pretty. The only downside is it’s kinda far from all the major stuff in Fukuoka but other than that it was really nice! Good for people looking for an escape from a major city! There’s multiple convenience stores near by as well!
GGuest UserWe booked one night in this hotel. The room size is as stated , very spacious with a beautiful view of the city, the room can even sleep for 3 persons. Toilet is clean although it’s an old style and design with a bathtub.
Breakfast have western and Japanese food , eggs have a few ways to cook and will deliver to your table after order. Service is good.
This hotel is next to the train station. A convenience store is just located in the middle of passage connecting to the hotel and station.
Free parking is available in the hotel, which is very convenience for guests with cars.
GGuest UserHotel was located right next to the airport with free shuttles only taking a few minutes. Good sunsets from the airport island. The hotel even offered a free dinner! Simple curry and rice but a nice surprise. I don't think you can find a better deal which includes full board. Not much around the area but this just gets you close to the airport for early departures. Very good smaller airport. I enjoyed flying out from here much more than Fukuoka. Fukuoka airport has a lot of construction going on. Getting to the airport via public transportation does require a metro ticket and a bus transfer.
GGuest UserCheck in must be exactly after 3pm, not even a minute early. Everything is transactional and impersonal such as not responsible for your luggage left at hotel after checked out. Although human receptionists are there but only direct guests to use machines to check in and out
SShin-Woei FannThis hotel locates near by the Kokura train station makes it one of the most convenient hotel I have ever lived.
Unfortunately I could only reserve a smoking room, but the smell was not too strong to clear out by some splash. I would suggest the manager to inform smoking customers not to smoke in the bathroom, in order to avoid the smoke on the shower curtain.
And the services are pretty good provided by kind stuff with multiple language skills. There is even a snack and drink corner 24 hours on first floor.
The only deficit of this hotel might be the sound proof of the top floor, 6th floor I lived. The sound could not penetrate through rooms, but there were multiple huge machines on the top of the room running through day and night and generated big noises. During the last night I lived, one of the noises was similar with the sound of unlocking the door, so I couldn' t sleep well because I felt like somebody was unlocking the door.
WWindgun14Although the facility is relatively old, it is located close to Kokura Station and the service is good. If you don't want to take the key with you every time, you can leave it at the front desk and pick it up every time you come back, which is very convenient.
Ssai HyaIn conclusion, it was the best accommodation for this trip, but there were a few issues.
It clearly says that there is a luggage storage service in the accommodation service details, but when I arrived, it was unmanned and I couldn't receive any service, so I walked around for almost 30 minutes, went back to the JR station, stored my luggage for 700 yen, and started my trip. Something happened that didn't exist
Also, there was an issue with the door lock not working in my room. To resolve this, I was able to resolve the issue within an hour by talking to the manager (the door did not close tightly, so I had to push it with force)
The room condition was excellent and everything in the bathroom and toilet was good. There were some inconveniences, but I spoke to the master and he said he would fix it, so I think it will be a better hotel.
自自由の女神It was lovely to be able to relax in the hot spring while enjoying the sea view. The weather was cloudy so we couldn't see the stars, but I'm sure it would have been beautiful if it were clear. The food, especially the seafood, was excellent, probably because of the hotel's proximity to the ocean. I also really appreciated the late-night ramen service.
GGuest UserNice self-check in hotel; door code is sent on day of check in. Hotel was nice, comfortable bed with free parking for 3 cars upfront. I had to chase for the door code as I didn’t want to arrive when it’s dark and struggle with the entry. It was sent to me with the help of Trip customer support. There is lift so no problem with my heavy luggage. Unlike other Grand Base hotels, this one has no laundry, no washing machine, no cooking stove, no utensils, just one kettle, 4 cups, one microwave and one fridge. Carpet had visible stains so not clean.
