Hotel berhampiran Amu Plaza Kumamoto Observation Deck, Kumamoto

Near the historic site but not so near to the JR station. It was a rainy day so we had some trouble moving our luggage to the JR station. The hotel itself is good. Rooms are not big but its good enough. Onsen was very crowded after dinner but there were lovely treats prepared for us.

ツアーで宿泊しました。外観はリニュアルした後でとてもきれいです。内装も1階のレストランとロビー廻り、フロントはきれいです。特にレストランはきれいなだけではなく、朝食は地産の料理が並びとても美味しかったです。ところが客室はリニュアル工事中のようで、客用エレベーターが1基工事専用になっていました。客室階は廊下からすべてが昭和の雰囲気のビジネスホテルのそれです。部屋の中は古いホテルの臭いがして、絨毯から壁紙まで昔のままで、喫煙可能だった時代の残り香が感じられます。喫煙室であったことは焼け焦げた椅子の張地からも分かります。バスルームも昔のままで、床下の排水のトラップのせいで、20センチほどの段差があり、登り降りが大変でした。そしてとても狭いです。部屋からの眺望は川側は高速道路がありますが、空間は開けています・反対側は閉鎖された病院や古いビルの非常階段が見えるだけです。泊まるのであれば川側が良いと思います。いぜれにせよリニュアルが済んでからがベストです。眺望は変わりませんが。

We took Highway Bus (2.5hr) from Fukuoka Airport to Kumamoto Sakuramachi Bus Terminal. Koko Hotel is directly connected to the bus terminal. Hotel was opened in June 2022 and there were now clear signages to Koko Hotel as we alighted from the bus. We took escalator to the 2F and take the lift to the 14F where the Hotel lobby is. From the lobby, we get a clear view of Kumamoto Castle. Our Superior Twin Room is very spacious and comfortable. We paid Y32,310 for 2 nights. It is 10 mins walk to the Castle, and 10 mins taxi ride to Kumamoto Station. Amu Plaza next to Kumamoto Station has plenty of eateries. Sakuramachi has Family Mart, restaurants and shops.

After Breakfast, The Staff Cleaned The Chairs And The Table, We Are Quite Happy And Impressed By The Love And Dedication!! Breakfast Spread Quite Good Too My Daughter Enjoyed The Salted Pickles (I Think That’s What Is Called Service is Really Good Too, And The Hotel Is Near The Top Rated TonKatsu Restaurant -The Food There Is Simply Amazing And Delicious And Near Bus Terminal

A very nice, modern hotel in the heart of the Kumamoto shopping district - very convenient location, right at the cross section of the two major covered shopping thoroughfares. Check-in only at 3pm and is an automated check-in/check-out system. Staff are very helpful and friendly. At check-in, you are free to choose your amenities from a very wide selection, including bath salts, face cleanser, moisturizer, coffee, green tea, etc. There is a giant tv in the room. No bottled water is provided. The room offers a full robe (short yukata and pants!). The rooms itself are very modern and renovated. There are two Family Marts and a 7-11 within a block of the hotel, as well as many dining and retail options within short walking distance. It is about a 15 minute walk to Kumamoto Castle and a 30 minute walk to Kumamoto Station.

Chambre correcte, salle de bain fonctionnelle, bon buffet de petit-déjeuner avec une multitude de choix convenant aussi à des non japonais. Exigences de chambre parfaitement respectées. Absence de parking dans l’hôtel . Les parkings situés en face sont hors de prix, mais la réception a des accords avec un partenaire situé un peu plus loin pour 1200 yens les 24 heures. A négocier avant séjour ou sur place. Je remercie les 2 personnes qui ont essayé de résoudre une demande de réservation de ferry, que je ne pouvais effectuer seul sur deux websites complètement en japonais.

My wife and I stayed at the Nikko Kumamoto from 1/5/2023- 3/5/2023 on our second leg of the kyushu trip after a disastrous stay at Nikko Huis Ten Bosch( that I posted on another review). The hospitality was a complete turnaround . We arrived by taxi from the kumamoto station and upon arrival at rhe entrance, there was.a guest officer to help us unload and wheel in our luggage to the check in lobby. Throughout our stay whenever we stepped into or walked by the guests officers, they would greet us and acknowledge us. Despite the language barrier, I was especially touched by the sincere efforts of one of your male guests officer who wore glasses. I had intially wanted to visit Mount Aso but did not know how to go there using public bus. So one one evening I walked to the guest relations desk and stated my intentions and request for more info. I could tell the officer had difficulty trying to communicate in English but he was trying very hard to get the information across. Throughout our stay were given maps and shown by pen and drawings whenever we had questions to a location ie ramen restaurant while waiting for check in, where to shop for sneakers etc I really appreciated the hospitality and guidance despite the language barrier. We hope to be back in future and keep up the good work! I hope the nikko mgmt team can transfer this consistency to your other chains ie( nikko huis ten bosch which clearly lacks such direction ). I really hope when ever I'm in japan I can go back to a nikko

A lovely hotel to stay in close to Kumamoto Castle. The rooms are nice and clean with friendly staff who are very helpful. Bath areas on the 12th floor are also quite nice and have a range of offerings inside. Breakfast was included with the price we paid, however, all the food was a little tasteless, if paying for breakfast, it is easy to go downstairs and get something but I’d probably go somewhere else if paying.

数回利用させていただいています。昔からあるホテルでやや古さは感じますが、清潔で落ち着いて過ごせるホテルです。朝のバイキングは10Fのレストランなので朝日を浴びた熊本城が目の前に見えます。バイキングも変わらず美味しかったです。「熊本ラーメン」があり、最終日に朝ラーをしてしまいました。 お部屋の広さ、ベッドの硬さも満足ですが、お部屋の明かりが少ないので、スタンドライトがもう一つ欲しいことと、バスルームの蛇口が温度設定ができるタイプだとありがたいかな。ということで星4つのしました。 落ち着いた感じで快適な時間を過ごせたので満足です

It is our our first time to visit Kumamoto and I am so satisfied I chose this hotel. The room was so clean and spacious. I love the garden view too. The staffs were so nice and very accommodating.
