Hotel berhampiran JR Ishiharamachi Station, Kita Kyushu

A nice hotel with rustic charm. Bathroom very nice, however the tap may be a little slow due to age. The garden is beautiful and the staff very helpful. It should be noted that the hotel parking should not be used, as much cheeper parking is also available close to the hotel, with the parking rules of the hotel parking being expensive, whilst if you take your car out of the bay you have to pay again. Also as of 2023 they have some pretty amazing Quiche, 4.5*

全国旅行支援に対応しているので、40％引きで予約し、3泊で11460円でした。数分前に行列せずに、待たずに、フライングチェックインしていただきました。ＪＲ小倉駅から徒歩5分と近く便利です。大浴場があり、サウナも付いていて、手足を伸ばしてゆったりのんびりと寛げました。部屋はごく普通のビジネスホテル。フロントも親切でした。12月もまたお世話になります。地域クーポンが7000円付きました。メンバー登録し、ポイントも付けていただき、次回値引きしていただきます。

Wonderful!!! I stayed at this hotel for four nights on business in September 2022. It was close to the train station. It was in a well lit area. I would actually go jogging EARLY in the morning because I was jetlagged. Kokura castle is nearby. Restaurants and shops are nearby as well. Breakfast was included and it had a coffee maker in the room. Could not ask for more! Thanks for a great stay!

1. Very spacious room for this price point to be honest. Could be because it's not a major city... 2. Kitchen equipment like induction cooker and pot and bowls and utensils were provided! Makes it possible to cook your own meals (or even just Maggie mee) fridge was very big so can buy drinks to store 3. Location was alright. Located along small alley but very near main road leading to shopping street and Kokura station. 4. Aircon and heater worked well. Great for winter weather 5. Bathroom ventilator was very strong. To the extent that it feels very cold after taking a shower. We tried closing the bathroom door at night and it was literally like a freezer in the morning when we open it. But also because of the ventilator, our clothes dried fast indoors 🥶 6. Now to the pain points. First got to be the facility management and check in check out process. This property does auto check in meaning there is no physical staff to handle your check in check out throughout. There is no receptionist at all. I made my booking 2- 3 hours prior to arriving at property. At the front door we were prompted to input entry passcode which we had no idea what it was (it's not the reservation number provided by the booking partner like Agoda or trip.com) tried to contact both the hotel helpline (there was a Jp phone number at the entrance but that's all, no other info whatsoever) and also escalated to Agoda (as I made my booking through Agoda for first nights) but no ans. In the end we had to enter property when someone unlocked the front entrance using her own passcode before we could speak to the helpdesk through the tablets. So it turns out that they claim most travellers would make their reservation at least a day prior to arrival, which was why system didn't capture my booking (yet ironically they allowed booking for same day check in .... When they clearly cannot manage the whole process) shouldn't there be more effort being put in to monitor for same day booking so the traveller doesn't get stuck at the front entrance especially in winter weather? We had to sit at the park nearby while trying to contact the helpdkesks but couldn't get through till the end...... The whole check in process was rather manual, basically you enter the info as prompted on screen then video call the helpline agent to verify before you'll get your passcode to your room. (All through tablet) Security seems alright if you're ok with the idea of using a keypad lock instead of having a physical room card? I guess customers just have to always make sure no one is looking when entering the passcode at the front door. Btw same passcode is used to enter hotel front entrance and for your room lock. All in all the biggest issue we found was the check in check out process. Overall stay was above average.

A wide variety of amenities. The hotel even provides free snacks with many choices. In the morning, there are fresh baked bread for us to take away. Although we only stayed for one night, we’re pleased with this hotel giving that it is not an expensive place.

Right next to JR Kokura Station so very convenient for people who take train. We drove so decided to park a little farther (less than 10min walking distance). As expected the room is not big, but clean and cosy. A food court style dining area （屋台）is right downstairs near the station where you can find a great variety of food such as barbecue, ox intestine hot pot (もつ鍋), sushi etc.

good location near main train station, restaurants and shops, good for transportation. room is small but acceptable ,reasonable price. except some staff cannot speak English, can be trouble for people like me can't speak Japanese. it is good place for people who is on budget travel

Initially we booked a hotel adjacent to Kokura station, but due to current construction to that hotel, we decided to switch to another hotel nearby the station. We chose this hotel after we saw the uniqueness of this hotel, where they displayed comics and books at their lobby. We finally found out that hotel guests could borrow and read these books and comics during their stays. It's only a 3-minute walking distance from the station, but please note that there was no shelter in case of rainy days. Another selling point was that they were offering free breakfast and dinner for their guests. How awesome that was. The rate was also good and affordable. The room was tiny but spacious enough to open a big luggage. The view from our window was great. We could even see a ferris wheel at a distance. The check-in and check-out processes were smooth and seamless. The only main issue was that the aircon could not be controlled. It stopped for a long time before started again. It even had a human voice which was pretty loud and annoying. I was almost sleepless for 2 nights we stayed there.

Stayed on the 27th floor. Every 3-5 minutes, there is a 10-15 seconds of strange noise. reported to the hotel, they blame the lift for the noises. Unfortunately, the very disturbing noise appeared throughout our stay including very late at night.

Clean and tidy even this is an old style hotel. Grand design with good service provided and near harbour. It is very convenient to 唐戶 market. Wonderful hotel with reasonable charges.
