I used a room adjacent to the elevator, which is limited to two rooms each day. There is certainly some noise from the elevator going up and down, but it didn't bother me at all. The location is a little far from the downtown area, but it is right next to Kokura Castle.Some of the rooms are old-fashioned, such as the steps in the bath, but I get the impression that they are clean.

Although it was a historic hotel, I was glad that I was able to stay at a reasonable price. The nearby downtown area, Konyamachi, was within walking distance, and Kokura Castle was also nearby, so it was very convenient. Breakfast is a slightly luxurious mealSo it came out, but the white rice and miso soup were a little disappointing.

This is a bureaucratic hotel. It was actually under the government.The entire building is non-smoking, with smoking areas outside.No laundry.Breakfast is 1500 yen. Please be careful as the old 1000 yen contents are in the room.This is also the first time I've been to a hotel that doesn't have cups.Some people at the front desk will respond normally, while others may be busy operating a computer, so you need to be careful. It was a shame because although the facilities were old, they were fine. Although the price is cheap, the parking lot is also 1000 yen, so I can't recommend it.

Overall decent place in excellent location. The hotel seems to be older, but the room I stayed in was in good condition, clean and didn't smell. The bed is comfortable. Positive side effect of being old is that the room and bathroom is more spacious in comparison to the newer business style hotels. The location is outstanding, directly opposite Kokura castle and in walking distance to malls and the train station. The service was very polite and friendly. Check the prices, they seem to fluctuate extremely, everything below 30€ is an absolute bargain!
