Find 2-Star Hotels in Fukuoka

This place’s saving grace is their 9th floor lounge - having somewhere to spend time during the day and evenings when it was raining was a saving grace although if you can get a hostel for half the price there’s also plenty of nice cafes to spend days in working/reading in. There was no air, anywhere. Baring in mind it’s the middle of typhoon season and torrential downpour outside all day. There was no ventilation, the only “windows” in the dorm were letterbox size and literally inside the bottom bunks (which you have to pay extra to request haha) so you can’t just crack a window and there’s no space for people leaving their wet clothes so the room absolutely stank of damp and dirt. It was a nice enough place but just fell a little short for the price for me

The staff were all very friendly, and there's a public bath available. The soundproofing isn't the best, but they have rules in place regarding noise, so it's generally quiet. The only times it gets a bit noisy are between 10 PM and midnight due to footsteps from neighbors, or in the early mornings. I stayed in a standard capsule, and the inside space was quite generous, even with a small safe for valuables. However, there wasn't a locker for luggage, which was a minor disappointment.

Very good customer service! I e mailed the hotel if I can leave my luggage for a week before checking in since I will be going to Nagasaki. The staff at the front desk are friendly especially Mik. Upon checking in my luggage is inside the room already! Highly recommend this manned air bnb. Hassle free checking in unlike most air bnbs without staff. They provide Yukata, towels, some tolietries daily. Free vitamin drink too the whole stay. The room has a balcony, clean all over, separate toilet & bath with toiletries, a washing machine, kitchen & cooking utensils, microwave & fridge with freezer.

1. The location is super convenient! You can take the airport line directly to Nakasu-Kawabata Station and it's just a short walk from there. 2. There are tons of food options nearby, so you'll never have to worry about finding something to eat, even late at night. 3. The front desk staff are really friendly and efficient at resolving issues (they speak English too!). 4. Each bed has a small space next to it for your carry-on luggage and even comes with a mirror. One minor downside is that the soundproofing in the restrooms isn't great, but if you're traveling and don't know anyone, it's not a huge deal. (A quick tip: there's a delicious 24-hour ramen shop on the same street that's definitely worth checking out!)

Juri was so helpful throughout my stay. The female dorm is on the second floor, next to the private room. Quiet hours are respected by others who are staying at the hostel and the free washer and dryer was a lifesaver for a stay that is longer than 3 days. They provide earplugs, which I think is convenient if you share a bunk with someone who snores or if there is movement around the hostel in the middle of the night. The location is a bit of a walk from the closest train station but there are also nearby bus stops and a convenience stores along the way. I definitely recommend this place and most likely will stay here or try their other locations if I pass the area again. :)

The key was finding a place within walking distance of Hakata and Gion Station (about a 3-minute walk), a reasonable price that could accommodate four people, and a room with a toilet and shower. I was so happy to find a great place in a great location. Although the room and hallways were generally a bit dark, it wasn't a major issue. All the front desk staff were kind. They even left our luggage at the room for us in advance, which I appreciated :) However, if I had to mention a slight inconvenience, it was that there was no early check-in system. ㅠㅠ So, we had to wait inside the hotel and were only able to check in at exactly 3:00 PM. Other than that, it was a perfect hotel! If I go again, I will definitely book Bunsho.

Summary: don't stay here. You've been warned. I've been to many capsule hotels in Japan. None were as horribly bad and overpriced as this one. Good: close to the station and the staff do what they can within their (very confined) perceived limits Bad: no sound insulation so you get to enjoy ambient sounds like traffic, trains and other patrons scuffling about during nighttime. The mattress is moldy, dirty and super thin so it doesn't feel comfortable unless you're used to sleeping on a moldy floor. The layout makes absolutely no sense at all. They tried cramming in as many capsules as possible in one small area and called it a day. 2 toilet stalls for 62 capsules? Laughable. The bath area is minuscule so you're queueing just to get a cramped dip. Lockers are minuscule and the luggage area is right next to the reception so you have to cross public area just to get some stuff out of your luggage. No space to unpack in peace either. I'd rather have them drop the breakfast and bathing area in favour of fixing the one thing they're supposed to deliver: a good night's sleep. Consider this place a last resort, not a proper stay.

Large spacious rooms, conveniently located within walking distance to Canal City Hakata and the Yatai street. There's no staff on location but they are reachable via the check-in tablet and are very responsive. One night my door jammed and we called the staff past midnight to help fix it. They arrived within 15 mins and was very helpful. Rooms are clean but the mattress and pillow covers are hit and miss - there were dried stains on the ones in my parents room, and one of my rooms pillow cover had a few strands of hairs on it. Hence one point deducted for cleanliness. Overall would highly recommend for groups.

There was some dust in the dark areas, but the rest was quite clean. The main advantage was its convenient location.

We booked a 2 futon tatami room. The futons are comfortable and the cushion is good. The room was not big but there was also air conditioning and a small fridge, a table and a small tv. The staff is really polite and there are a lot of free amenities that you can get including tea, razor and toothbrush with a small toothpaste. There is free breakfast but it's not incredible. I would say it's an ok breakfast. Overall for the price we paid (120 euros total for 3 nights for 2 people) it's a good option. There is a small foreigners accommodation tax to pay at the reception, make sure to bring some cash.
