I think it's great that you can eat a hearty curry in the morning for 700 yen. Accommodation fees are low and the location is good. The facilities are simple, but I think it's a comfortable place to stay if you make up for what's lacking.

Reliable R&B quality as always.Stable usability at all times, at any hotel.This place is right next to the arcade, so you don't need an umbrella even if it rains. There is also a convenience store next door.Breakfast is also just right. Ingredients that are not too much, but are healthy for the body. Delicious breads.Since it's called a room and breakfast, I feel safe using it.

This is a highly convenient hotel that is close to the city center and has a convenience store on the first floor.The room was also clean and I felt comfortable.Although it was a smoking room, there was no smell, and I thought that the chairs and other equipment had probably just been updated.The staff were very prompt and the breakfast was delicious and wonderful.Prices are also cheap!This is a recommended hotel.

Hotels in Kumamoto City are also expensive, so I was able to stay there relatively cheaply (about 7,600 yen).The rooms are minimal but comfortable.The location is right off the street, so I was able to find food without any inconvenience.Also, since there is no parking lot, we are affiliated with the multi-storey parking lot in front of the hotel.They will give you a discount coupon when you check in, so it will be cheaper.

This was my second time using the hotel and I stayed for several nights.To summarize briefly, there is no flexibility in caring for customers, poor management of the staff as they don't do what they ask, and simply the cleaning is dirty.I received a call from the front desk at 10am and was told to come out as cleaning would start at 10am.If that is not possible, I was asked to put a sheet that does not require cleaning on the door, and since my work starts around 11 o'clock, I asked if it would be impossible to start cleaning from around 12 o'clock, but no matter how many times I asked, they said it was impossible. In the end, I was cut off unilaterally.I think this is the first time I've been to a hotel that offers so much flexibility.Also, when I asked what to do with used towels and new ones, they told me to leave them in the hallway outside. He said he would leave a new one on the door.However, when I returned home, it wasn't even on the door and it was still on the next morning.The staff management at this place is too lenient as they don't follow what they say and end up having to work twice.I will never stay there again

Like other R&B hotels, it is a convenient business hotel with a good location, reasonable prices, and rooms that are compact but clean.There are several affiliated parking lots nearby.

Parking is a little cheaper if you go to a affiliated location. It's only a few minutes walk, so I don't think it will be an inconvenience. Since it's close to the entertainment area, you should expect it to be 80% full near the evening.I used it in the summer after the Obon holidays, and the price seemed to be just right as I had booked early. I was surprised to find that the price was nearly double on the day of the fireworks festival.The facility is directly connected to FamilyMart, making it extremely convenient. However, be aware that the direct door may be closed at certain times, and while you only need to press a button to enter the store from the hotel, you must use a card reader to enter the hotel from the store. Breakfast is charged and considering the contents, it may seem a little more expensive than the adjacent Family Mart.The location is great! Family Mart next door is also great! Everything else seemed to be okay.

I was tired from the day trip from Fukuoka and just wanted to sleep, but I had a good night's sleep in the compact room and had a refreshing morning.thank you.This is my second time staying here, and I was once again impressed by the comfortable service they provided with the minimum necessities.I'm thinking of using morning service for the third time.

It's a little noisy right now because there's construction going on next door. It's scheduled to be completed in 2025.The staff greeted me every time I came and went, and explained things diligently when I visited Kumamoto Castle.Don't expect the room to be too big.Just the size of a typical business hotelAn amazing way to open it by inserting the key and pulling it out right away.
