Parking is available only in nearby parking lots.Since there is no food and we are only staying without meals, we have no choice but to go out to eat or buy food.The location in front of the station is good.

I used it on a solo leisure trip.As soon as I entered the entrance, someone from the front counter called out to me without greeting me, ``Are you checking in?'' When I stopped in surprise, he asked, ``Please tell me your name.'' I've only just stepped through the automatic door at the entrance. I've used APA in many places, but this is the first time I've seen something so lacking in quality. When I went to the counter and went through the check-in procedures, I was kept waiting for no reason, and an elderly couple who came in during that time was also kept waiting. I think the quality of each staff member varies too much, because a well-dressed person who came out later came up to the outside of the counter to help with the service. Or rather, isn't there an automatic check-in machine for people who can do it themselves so that this doesn't happen? The salty nature of the trip just made me feel uncomfortable and disgusted.The location is right in front of Kokura Station, and there are many shops nearby so you won't have any problems. The taxi stand at the station is also nearby. The bus stop is located opposite the station.The room was APA-like and clean, and there was no inconvenience or discomfort, but the unit bath was sized for a petite person, so I felt disappointed.Well, I'm not going there anymore.

It's conveniently located just 1 minute from the Shinkansen exit, and there's another APA hotel just a 1 minute walk away that I'd like to use next time.

I used it when I went to take a certain national exam. My memories are from more than a year ago, so I'm just basing my impressions, but I think the other nearby APA was newer and cleaner. This one is near the station, so I prefer Hanamaru for convenience.

The location is great, right in front of Kokura Station. The building feels quite old, but everything except the elevator has been renovated, so its age will not be an inconvenience.However, the room is small and feels like an APA hotel room, and the unit bath is in a crouched-down style.That's fine, but the height of the desk doesn't match the height of the chair, and there isn't enough space for my legs. I tried to pull up and sit down, but the bed was in the way and I couldn't pull it out. If you are a hotel manager, please come and see it for yourself. I want you to think about making a really low chair.

The woman at the reception was very responsive.However, I was disappointed that even though I had unlimited access to VOD, the screen was blue and could not be seen at all, and the refrigerator did not cool down at all. The location is good because it's about a 3 minute walk from the Shinkansen exit.

I think the reception was good, but the building is probably being renovated and turned into an APA hotel, so I'm concerned about the deterioration of the building. The toilet is so narrow that your feet hit the wall of the unit bath.I guess it can't be helped since the price was cheap, but I don't think I'll stay there again.

The room was small but the bed was spacious so I was satisfied, but unfortunately the TV was next to my feet so I couldn't watch it while lying down. Wifi doesn't connect at night

This was my first time using an APA hotel. Since I had made a reservation through Agoda, it was difficult to understand how to check in and it took a long time. The location is near Kokura Station and close to the ticket gate, so it's very convenient! The room felt a little small, and even when I turned on the TV and tried to watch VOD, the screen didn't change...💦There was hair on the notepad, and personally, there was a lot of mold on the bathroom door and rubber gasket, which bothered me a lot. 💦I was so happy with the welcome water!

There was already an APA hotel in Kokura, but a second one has opened right near the Shinkansen exit. It's right next to the Shinkansen exit deck, so you can go down the escalator and don't even need an umbrella. It seems like they bought the place out of their possession, so although the opening is new, the facilities are old. The room is small, but it has everything you need, VOD is free, and the TV is large. Check-out is at 11am, so you can take your time. The microwave is on the first floor. No ice maker. Checking in with the APA app is quick and convenient.2022.4 Visit

Although the twin room was quite cramped and the bathroom had a slight smell, it was easy to check out, store luggage, shop, and store luggage. However, kiosk self-check-in was really inconvenient. There wasn't necessarily a rush of people, and in fact, there were more people lining up for the machine.

Although I booked a non-smoking room, the room smelled of cigarettes.Also, it's convenient because it's near the station, but there were a lot of illegally parked cars on the sidewalk in front of the hotel, which was a nuisance.It was raining, so I had to avoid them while carrying a heavy carrier and an umbrella, so when I complained to the driver who happened to be there, I ended up getting the opposite response.Is there any countermeasures being taken by the hotel?Looking at the previous reviews, they wrote that they were taking measures, but even now, several months later, there has been no improvement.Maybe you should be more careful about it?It was clearly illegally parked on the sidewalk.

I often use it when I go on business trips to Kokura. It's close to the station, so you can stay in your room until the last minute of the Shinkansen train.Although it is small, it has everything you would expect from a business hotel. A little old.

I'm grateful for 2x laundry, a microwave, and an ice maker (with paper cups). However, all the rooms are small. Especially the washroom is difficult. The TV is higher than your eye level when sitting in a chair, so you have to look up to see it...just stand at the right height!Thank goodness all rooms are non-smoking, but there are still people who smoke...
