Best Takeo Hotels

"Pros: Very close to Takeo Onsen Station, practically door-to-door. There's a hot spring on the 8th floor, though it's on the smaller side. The breakfast has a good variety, but it can get very crowded. You can borrow bicycles, which saves you from walking. Cons: I mistakenly booked a smoking room, and it smelled heavily of smoke – something to be aware of if you're sensitive to that. The soundproofing is poor; the noise from housekeeping outside my door was very loud, and I couldn't get any sleep, especially since I had a fever."

"The location is great, about a 10-minute walk from Takeo Station! The roads are flat and easy to walk on. There's a bakery on the first floor of the city hall, which has delicious food, and a fruit shop at the intersection—fresh and inexpensive! Located directly in front of the building entrance, my corner room had a perfect view of the building's nightscape! Absolutely beautiful! The staff were always incredibly warm and welcoming, meticulously maintaining traditional Japanese etiquette for every guest! Although they couldn't communicate in English very well, they always managed to communicate with each other through gestures—fantastic! The hotel has two hot spring baths with a comfortable temperature and ample amenities! Soaking in the hot springs was incredibly relaxing! Two meals are included with each stay, and the dishes are plentiful and delicious! Perfect for travelers looking for a more in-depth experience! A leisurely trip to experience the vibrant atmosphere of Takeo City!"

"The bath, bathtub and facilities were new and nice, but it was a pity that there was mold on the wall of the bathroom and shampoo leftovers. When I turned on the refrigerator, I was noisy and couldn't sleep at night, so I cut it off. The bed was single, but it was good because it was comfortable to sleep and there were many outlets for the room I want to use it when I go to Takeo again."

"The service is very good, the room environment is comfortable, we choose one berth and two meals, dinner to eat Western chef hair board, the selling tastes very good, because the room is less, so it is very quiet, the big baths are very good, it is recommended 👍🏻"

"First, the room is huge. The website says it's 15 square meters, but excluding the entrance hall, toilet, and bathroom, the tatami area alone is at least 30 square meters. Second, the booking showed breakfast wasn't included, but it's actually free, and the selection is quite good. There's also free coffee in the lobby, and the elderly lady who seems to be the owner will play gramophone records for you—the kind that only plays for three minutes per record. Considering the price, it's incredibly good value. The century-old establishment is decorated authentically. The only minor drawback is the slightly outdated bath facilities, but considering the hotel's historical atmosphere, this is part of the experience. The hotel is within walking distance of the 3,000-year-old camphor tree and the Takeo Library, which houses a Starbucks and Tsutaya Bookstore. With a JR Kitakyushu Pass, it's convenient to take the JR Limited Express or Shinkansen to Fukuoka, Kumamoto, and Nagasaki; you can easily do all of that in a day. Takeo town isn't crowded with tourists or residents, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommended."

"Location: it was a 15 minutes walk from the JR station and when we left the hotel, they had a free shuttle service. The hotel is next to the famous gate and a tofu ice cream dessert place which was great.  Food: dinner and breakfast inclusive hotel room, both were fantastic  Rooms: clean and big  Onsen: it was a bit small but did have an outdoor onsen, there was no water dispenser so cannot hydrate afterwards"

"The hot spring temperature was just right, making it easy to get in, and it was great to be able to relax in the in-room bath! The room was also incredibly clean and stylish, and most importantly, spacious! It was also very practical and simply standard! The meals, both dinner and breakfast, were both visually stunning and delicious♪ Since my only option for a relaxing trip was to enjoy a hot spring, I was very satisfied. It seemed like there weren't many guests staying that day, but that made it feel like we had the place to ourselves, just as a family, and the staff were all very kind and pleasant. For those who want to really relax without a packed schedule, I recommend the hotel, as you can enjoy the spa and gym to the fullest! However, I did think it was a bit lacking that there were only two chairs and two hair dryers in the bathroom..."

"Value for money. Basic ryokan with onsen. No convenience stores or shops nearby - need to drive out of you need anything to eat. Amenities in the ryokan not as luxurious as others that I have been to before. We booked the breakfast and dinner option too - there is lot of food but quality of the food is ok only. Nothing to scream about but you will be very full. 😂"

"The hotel has only 10 rooms, the facilities are new, 10 points clean, Japanese style and wind, there is a massage function in the open air, the staff is 10 points good, will call to remind you to eat dinner and breakfast, originally need to leave the hotel early, can not enjoy dinner, The hotel specially arranged breakfast at an early time, very considerate service. And the quality of the food is very high. The water pressure is enough. Arranged to eat in a separate room, private feeling 10 points is sufficient."

"In terms of privacy, it is really a big selling point. Add money to enjoy a half-hour period - sauna, it is worth a try. The staff is kind and friendly, the food is acceptable, but the expectations are not too high. The whole is good, the only thing is that there are fewer points deducted. The local department, the hotel is near the road, and you will hear less car noise."
