The location is good, there is a supermarket opposite, a restaurant behind and a station next to it. The hotel has a parking lot. The room is clean and quiet, but the air conditioner is too cold. There is a mini bar in the lobby. Breakfast included. The female staff are very friendly.

I went by car with my friends 🚙It is located near Nishi-Kumamoto Station and is far from the downtown area, but the price was reasonable, there was a large public bath, welcome drinks (alcohol and snacks), and the room was very clean.I would like to stay there again if I go to Kumamoto 😊

Advantages: There is unlimited drinking on the first floorDisadvantages: The room is very small, and the double bed is smaller than normal. The air conditioner blows on your head when sleeping, which is not very comfortable. I originally thought there was a big mall nearby, but it turned out to be a ghost town with almost all the shops closed for rent. There are few food options nearby, we hit a landmine 🥲

It's still new and the rooms are very clean.There are separate toilets and baths, and the rooms are very spacious and relaxing.There is a welcome service on the 1st floor with drinks and alcohol available.Because it is a little far from the city center, the environment is quiet.There is also a Kyushu Shinkansen station that is almost directly connected to the hotel.There is also a supermarket nearby.There aren't many pubs in the neighborhood that offer nightlife.

The room was large and very nice.I liked that the shower space and bathtub were separated like in a home bath.Some people have written about where to install the air conditioner, but I personally haven't had any problems since I can adjust the wind direction, air volume, and temperature myself.Since it is not an air conditioner that is centrally managed, I thought it was very reasonable.Also, since I couldn't eat breakfast, I returned my breakfast ticket when I checked out, and they prepared bread in a paper bag, which was very helpful.It was delicious.I would like to stay again if I have a chance.

It was a good place! In particular, the bed mat, toilet and bath are separate, and the spaciousness and comfort of the shower. It's the best.

I had never been charged a cancellation fee for a cancellation on the same day at other hotels, but I was charged a 100% cancellation fee (cancelled due to work circumstances).The regulations say 100%, so it's not a mistake, but many places don't take it, so please be careful if you use it for work.

The room is clean and I have no complaints,The location of the air conditioner is terrible.No matter which way the wind blows, I get a sore throat from the wind blowing directly onto my bed.Other than that, I have no complaints, but I won't use it again.Although it is in front of the stationI feel like 1000 yen for parking is expensive even though it's in the suburbs.Even though I'm a guest.
