Hotel berhampiran Hands Alice, Kumamoto

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.

こちらのホテルはチェックイン時から、スムーズではありませんでした。 レンタカーでホテルのタワー駐車場に入庫しようとすると、ホテル正面にタクシーが停まっていて入れない状態。やむなくタクシーの脇に停車させると、タクシーの運転手が降りてきて「ここはタクシー乗り場なので入れないよ」と。 ホテルに泊まる宿泊客なのにホテル前に車がつけられないなんてどうなってるの？ 妻にフロントまで聞きに行ってもらうと、タワー駐車場は現在使用していないので、離れたところにある提携駐車場に１泊900円で駐車してくれと。 タワー駐車場の表示は「満車」となっていますが、「満車」ではなく「使用していない」そうです。 提携の立体駐車場に車を停めて、スーツケースをがらがら200ｍほど引っ張り、ようやくチェックインとなりました。 お部屋は最上階の角部屋。少し広めの部屋でした。 入口はいると左手にトイレ、右手に洗面所とお風呂、２つに分かれています。 分かれているのはいいのですが、それぞれのドアが引き戸ではなく開き戸なので、干渉しあって使い勝手が良くありません。 それと、通路から部屋に入ると、部屋全体が右にドッグレッグした状態（右横に広がった状態）なので、空調の吹き出し口から出た冷気が右奥の方へ行きわたらず、手前は寒く右奥は暑いという環境でした。 朝食はB1にある「雑魚屋」という居酒屋で食べることになります。有無を言わさず和食でした。 内容的には、辛子蓮根と高菜はありましたが、そのほかに熊本らしさはなく、いたって普通の和食でした。 東急ホテルズには馴染みがあり、いろんな都市で利用しているのですが、次回熊本滞在の時にこちらを選ぶかどうかは微妙です。

独自の目線(5点満点)で評価しています。ビジネスホテルが中心です。 【立地】3 繁華街までは少し歩きます。ホテル回りも一方通行が多いですが、その分一度わかればなんとかなります。 【部屋】3 特に問題ありません。 【コンセント・ＬＡＮ】3 特に問題ありません。 【エアコン】3 特に問題ありません。 【シャワー】3 特に問題ありません。 【スタッフ】3 特に問題ありません。 【総合】3 名前と価格から少し心配していましたが、とんでもありません、良いホテルです。ジュース一本頂けますし、くまモングッズは頂いてうれしかったです。繁華街まで少し歩くのと近くが暗くて夜遅いと女性や子どもは少し不安かもしれません。ただおしゃれなお店が周りに多いのでそれを楽しんでみるとよいと思います。

This hotel have several convenience stores nearby. And a shopping mall near the car park. I rented a three bed room. At first, the humidity of the room is relatively high, and have an air-con water dropping issue. Being told that this issue is normally in Japan since it is a raining season, but the staff assist to offer another room. The second offer room air-con is in trouble, which is not cool even turned to 16 degree. At last, we were upgraded to the slightly larger room with three beds (the third bed is still a sofa bed). The room is so clean, two beds are in double bed, the tv could used for Netflix and YouTube. I would say the organise of the staff is in a satisfy level. The shower supplies are in Kose, the water pressure is relatively good among four hotels I’ve been stayed in Japan for this trip. But there are only 8 car parking in this hotels, with the first in first serve policy. So, we couldn’t managed to have a car parking although I’ve been told in the comment box by trip.com. However, they have some collaborated car parking suppliers nearby with a discount coupons. It’s not really convenient for you if you just stay for one night. But for me, it’s more than acceptable.

I few steps away from the station. The building looks renovated from an older one by the inside facilities are up to standards. I always love the breakfast where they include local dishes and materials.

良い所は交通の便が良い。駅から/へのバスは目の前に止まり、少し離れた所に電停もあります。 中心繁華街からは遠いけど歩けなくはない。バス市電を使えば更に便利。周囲に店は少ないけど、歩いてすぐに良い和食屋あり。 部屋は狭くて荷物整理には苦労します。ベッドの周りの足場だけ。机はたためる（それだけ狭い）鞄を広げられるのは入口への僅かな廊下スペース。 大浴場はこの手のビジネスホテルとしては普通、ユニットバスより快適だけど温泉宿ほどの良さは無し。 駐車場は併設の立体。雨でも濡れずにok。夜間は管理人が居なくなるので車の出入りも荷物の出し入れも不可。それで困るなら近くの駐車場を紹介されます。

구마모토역 바로 앞이라 기차를 타고 다른 도시로의 이동뿐아니라 시내의 이동에도 무척 편리했습니다. 또한, 역 바로 옆에 쇼핑센터, 마트, 식당 등이 있어 생활수품과 음료수를 사거나 식사를 하는데 불편이 없었습니다. 호텔 시설들 또한 깨끗하고 종업원들도 무척 친절했습니다. 호텔의 식당은 넓고 깨끗하고 큰 통유리창이 있어 무척 밝았으며, 떠오르는 아침 해를 바라보며 상쾌한 기분으로 식사를 할 수 있었습니다. 식사 메뉴는 뷔페식이었는데 화려하지는 않았지만, 있을 것은 다 있는 그런대로 괜찮았습니다. 조금 아쉬웠던 부분은 욕실 공간이 너무 좁다는 것입니다.

This hotel is located within a short walking distance from the Kumamoto station. From the JR bstation exit it is on the left, just beside the Bic Camera store next. There is also a streetcar/tram stop so near the hotel which you can use to explore the city touristy spots! Shopping is convenient as the Kumamoto AMU Plaza (see another Review) is 5-mins walk away. The lobby is quite spacious and I quite like the intimate setting and lighting. Check-in was fast and 3 lifts serve well with travellers + luggages. The room design is quite standard and we have requested for x2 single bed, the room size is respectable. Noted that they're still using the physical hard key and not the keycard type. Hottel provided some amenities and complimentary bottled water in the room, sufficient for us . The Hotel is very into Going Green, there will be no housekeeping within first 3-days unless requested upon. This may likely be the model moving forward, to cut wastages. We had our breakfast at the nearby Pronto. The Kitaoka Shrine is just about 400 metres nearby, opposite direction of JR station so we recommend to drop by if time permits. A good stay experience. J

ファミリールームに家族3人で泊まりましたが、とても広い窓で、お部屋も綺麗で広く、一歩お部屋に入った途端、全員がこのお部屋が大好きになりました。ベッドもお布団も気持ち良く、『雲のベッド』呼んでいました。お風呂場も洗い場と浴槽に十分なスペースがとってあり、とても気持ち良く利用出来ました。朝食のレストランもお洒落な空間で、お料理もバラエティーに富んで美味しく、パン好きな家族もとても喜び、ご飯好きの私も高菜ご飯を満喫しました。朝食料金も大変良心的で驚きました。家族全員が、『また絶対に泊まりたい』と言っています。
