Good accommodation for the price!It's quite close to Kokura Station (7-8 minutes walk?)The location is great as it is near the arcade street.The price wasn't too bad and the facilities were really good.It was a bit surprising that there was an LAN cable in the room...?The staff are also very friendly :)

Compared to the skyrocketing cost of lodging in Hakata, you can still stay at a reasonable price (although it's more expensive than before). The location seems to be next to a shopping street.It's easy to walk under the arcade. Check-in is possible 24 hours a day, but it is important to let us know your arrival time in advance. Amenities are available from the front side, such as toothbrushes and drip coffee.The room is small but clean and has everything you need. Air conditioner, luggage storage, kettle etc. Although it is a unit bath, the water pressure in the shower is sufficient. Because it's far from the bar district, there's no noise outside, so you can sleep well. Please note that the convenience store is a little far away and you may have to go back to the station for breakfast. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk to Kokura Castle.I used Yahoo Travel to make reservations, but the only option was to include breakfast, but the hotel website had a plan for staying without meals. I will definitely stay at this hotel next time.

4/5
The accommodations in Kitakyushu were all in good condition, so I chose one that was cost-effective. The staff were friendly and the rooms were clean, except for the slightly musty smell.The downside is that the bathroom ledge was a bit high and the room was so narrow that it was difficult to unfold the suitcase.

I stayed there on a typhoon day. The steps at the entrance to the toilet and bath were scary.

It's cheap, and I have no complaints about it considering the price. The location is also perfect.

It's close to the station, so you don't need an umbrella if it rains in the arcade, and you can move around without being exposed to direct sunlight on hot days, which is very convenient. The front desk staff was friendly and the room was clean and comfortable.

I started having symptoms of bed bugs a few days after staying.The doctor asked me if I had traveled or stayed in a hotel, and he said that other than staying here, I had not gone on a business trip or traveled.I stayed for 2 consecutive nights, but for eco-friendly reasons, there was no cleaning.There was no changing of sheets, only towels hung on the doorknob.I suddenly thought that the front desk and lobby were clean, but the seats of the chairs in the room were torn.I was relieved because I thought it was new, but I feel it has potential.

The hotel was located in a shopping district and had good cost performance.It seems that it is affiliated with the nearby AP parking lot (multi-level parking lot).
