It's relatively close to the station, and it's been renovated so it's sparkling clean. The separate bathroom and toilet are easy to use, and the bed is airwave. The service is good, with free curry for dinner and ice cream after taking a bath. The breakfast buffet includes local gourmet food and is very satisfying.

The location is good, the atmosphere is good, and it's close to the Tenjin underground shopping mall, subway, and riverside entrance. There are also stalls nearby, so it’s a good idea to have a draft beer when you’re tired of shopping.

We enjoyed the stay. Good located to the center of Kumamoto (castle, city hall, tram)5-10 minutes walk.Free entry to the public bath in the hotel! Which is modern and clean. You'll get an ice and a Yakult for free after using the bath. From 9:30 - 11 pm you can enjoy a horse curry (typical for Kumamoto) for free in the restaurant on the 12th f.We had a room on the 4 th floor, which was very modern and clean. We can't complain at all. It was a very pleasant stay here :)

It was a pleasant stay at the hotel. Located 2 mins walk from downtown, it's a nice location. It's a bit expensive, but definitely worth it.Just add a few hundred yen and the room is pretty big with couch area, lovely room! I believe the hotel is just renovated, bathroom is new and clean. I would suggest the hotel to put a small table beside the beds, that would be a big help for cellphones 😂For ladies, hotel provides several packs of lady products. You could also choose your favorite pillow on the first floor, I love the pillow very much!Hot spring only opens for short period, it's a great and nice place. There's free yogurt drink and popsicles when finishing hot spring.Breakfast was awesome too! Lots of local cuisine, it all tasted great 😃
