Hotel berhampiran Stage Area, Kumamoto

2023年11月に２泊しました。熊本駅から市電で15分（￥180）、空港バスで特快で40分（交通事情で差異あり、￥1,000）でした。いずれも通町筋で下車。新規開業されたばかりで、建物もきれいでホテル下は飲食店街になります。ホテル界隈にも多数の飲食店が軒を連ねています。３Fにレセプションがあって、アメニティはそこで自由にとります（歯ブラシ、ひげそり、ブラシ等）。貸しパジャマ￥200と有料ですが、とてもリーズナブルなホテルと感じました。連泊の場合はタオルのみの交換です。朝食は時間がなく利用せず、１Fの焼き立てパンを利用しました。また横にテラスがあり、写真の通り熊本城が一望できます。部屋はタイプが８種類あるそうで、今回は靴を脱いでフローリングの１Kみたいな部屋でした。デスクワークにも向いており、Wifi環境にも問題ありません。もちろんバストイレはセパレートです。お湯の出具合、バスタブの排水も問題なしです。ベッドは畳の上に布団が敷かれており、寝心地も抜群です。面白いのは玄関入ってすぐに洗面所がある点です。隣に鶴屋（百貨店）があり、お土産各種、食材調達にも不便は感じませんでした。熊本へお出かけの際はお薦めできるホテルです。

Good location, near the shopping street, and there are few convenient stores nearby. The view of my room can see the Kumamoto castle! Not a big room, but you will get all the things you need inside the room. Good for couple or Busines trip, quite a comfy and clean environment to stay.

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

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.

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。

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.

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

自然豊かな場所にあり、日常を忘れさせてくれました。娘のインハイ予選観戦での利用でしたので、泊まりのみでしたのが、とても残念です。ホテルのエレベーターがプライベートな仕様で安心できました。フロント対応もとても感じが良かったです。お部屋も十分な広さと清潔感、アメニティもしっかりでくつろげました。ありがとうございました
