Asrama di Kumamoto

Saya rasa ini adalah hotel sauna terbaik di Kumamoto. Sarapan pagi dihidangkan dalam mangkuk kecil, saya boleh menikmati makanan Kumamoto, ia sangat lazat! Ia akan membantu jika anda menukar tikar sauna dengan lebih kerap. Adakah ia sambungan korona? Anda akan melihat bahawa kusyen hadapan dipijak dengan kaki anda dan kucar-kacir, jika tidak, ia tidak bersih. Kadang-kadang ia dipasang semula.

Stayed 4-nights whilst using Kumamoto as a base for day trips by train to Amakusi-Misumi, Aso-Miyaji, Nagasaki and Beppu. The Toyoko Inn is therefore ideal being within 200m of the entrance to Kumamoto Station and for getting about Kumamoto, the main stop for the Kumamoto Shiden (Tram) is right outside the hotel. As I had an early start each day I didn't get to try the free breakfast included in the room rate and arriving back late each evening, the food court on the 7th floor of the Amu Plaza adjacent to the Station proved really convenient (open until 10 ~ 11pm). Budget-priced hotels in Japan tend to provide small but well-eqipped rooms and Toyoko Inn is no exception. I opted for the cheaper room rate whereby your room isn't serviced daily, only fresh towels provided; even better value-for-money.

Very convenient location right opposite to the main bus station where there is a big shopping mall with plenty of restaurants. The hotel is also 15 minutes walk away from the main tourist spot Castle 熊本城. 非常樂於助人且友善的前台工作人員始終面帶微笑。屋頂的溫泉很棒，尤其是室外池。我喜歡他們晚上 9:30 後供應的拉麵，這是享受溫泉後的好時機。如果你在日本住過足夠多的飯店的話，房間大小還算合理。清潔和整潔令人印象深刻。早餐很好，但喜歡看到更多西式選擇。總的來說，我喜歡這家酒店並且會更願意再次住在那裡。

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

We stayed for 3 nights. The service was outstanding. All staff were very polite and professional. The room was very clean, nice size, and super comfortable with a river view. We had a guest and they gave a parking validation. The breakfast was amazing with various choices. The location is convenient to the downtown and also JR train station. We will definitely stay again.

This is our third time using the Richmond hotel in Kumamoto. The rooms are clean. It has its own laundry room for guests. It’s close to popular public transport. The Sakura Machi bus depot is a five minute walk away, along with the tram stations. Kumamoto train station is a ten minute tram ride away. Walk out the front door and you are right at the start of the Kumamoto shopping district with restaurants close buy. It’s convenient and priced well hence the five star rating.

The hotel's location was the main reason why we booked the place. It was close to both Kumamon Square and Kumamotojo, the 2 things we wanted to do in Kumamoto. However, note that even though it's right next to Kumamotojo, it still takes a 15~20minute walk to the entrance because it's on the other side of the castle keep during it's repairs. The staff are wonderful and very helpful, standard level of service in Japan is just one step above every other country. The staff did valet parking for me without extra charge, and was quite helpful in helping us to get to different attractions and restaurants. Overall, the hotel is very dated and the rooms are in dire need of a full renovation. I think that is why the rates were quite reasonable. For a hotel this caliber (probably 5 stars when it was first built), we only paid around 10,000 yen per night. The issue is the rooms are really old and the carpet looks dirty and ripped. parts of the washrooms were so old the faucet looked like it's from the early 90s and with small amounts of molds in the creases. Because the hotel is old, the ventilation isn't the greatest either. One of our rooms although was non-smoking, we could smell other room's cigarette smell in our room. Overall, I don't really recommend this hotel because it's really dated, but if you are on a budget and want close amenity it's worth a shot. The staff are nice too so I feel bad for not recommending the hotel, but at the end of the day, there are just better options in Kumamoto today.
