Hotel berhampiran Taman Maizuru, Fukuoka

This year my wife and I went to Fukuoka for travel and celebration of our 10th wedding anniversary. We’ve stayed in 4 hotels, among which 1 Fukuoka was the best one. The hotel room was very grand with a balcony and an amazing city view. Location was very convenient as it was very close to the metro station. The hotel service was also outstanding. To give a surprise to my wife, I asked the hotel via emails to prepare an anniversary cake for us. The hotel staff brought it our room and help taking photos for us. I also need to mention the breakfast of the hotel. Their breakfast should be the best for all hotels I’d ever stayed in Japan. On the last day, I left some cash in the safe and checked out. Fortunately, the hotel staff sent me emails and asked me to come back to hotel. Million thanks for their kind service and help!

Location ~ very good Room Facilities ~ very good, the room that I booked has a washing machine. Room amenities ~ not that great. Basic amenities. Hotel facilities ~ no swimming pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, but with public bath. Hotel policy ~ very rigid. Standard check in time is 3pm which is understandable. Arrived at 2.30pm asking to check in slightly earlier but was told cannot. Then I asked the standard check out time which is before 10am. I told them I need to catch early flight so not going to stay until 10am. With that, could I proceed to check in at 2.30pm but was told still cannot. Some other hotels that I stayed in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, etc. are very accommodating. Some hotels in Taiwan not allowed check in early but at least they will perform the check in process, only could collect key at 3pm. However this hotel just let the guests wait at the lobby without doing anything. Finally they opened the check in counter at 2.50pm. Breakfast served at 6.30am. Told them I need to rush to airport early morning, whether I could have my breakfast slightly earlier, or pack some food for me to go airport. Again policy and practice not allowed so. Just too rigid. Not flexible. Breakfast variety okay, but not very good or excellent Would I still return next time? No, I would rather try other hotels. With that, I won't return even though the location is good.

Location is good. 5mins walk to subway and canal city shopping mall and a walking street full of restaurants. Breakfast is good. 1 thing to improve is the housekeep request need to be posted no later than 10am, thats bit early. But the housekeep is good.

The location was superb as it's just a few steps away from the underground entrance to the metro. There's also a 24Hr supermarket just minutes walk from the hotel above ground or if it's raining you can take the metro underground walkway which will also get you right to the entrance of supermarket. There are a few drug stores nearby (for medicine / cosmetics) and some open till 9pm or even midnight. It's only a very short walk to get to Canal city shopping area which has an array of shops and dinning options. We stayed for 5 nights and breakfast was included in our room rate and it was very good with a decent amount of choices (we ended up eating there 4/5 mornings). Although the dinning area was not very big so if you're there during peak hours there could be a bit of a wait. The room was a standard 'Dormy' room that you'd expect in almost any other Dormy Inn but for this particular hotel we felt the cleaning needs a bit of work. We have a habit of wiping down the shelves / tables before placing our things and even after three rounds of wiping with wet cloth / tissue it's still grey which shook us a bit.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, the front desk staff were friendly and welcoming, and the price was very reasonable. I would definitely stay here again. The only suggestion I have is regarding the housekeeping service. One morning, I greeted a housekeeping staff member with “Good morning,” but received no response, even after I said it a second time. It may have been a misunderstanding, but it felt a little disappointing, especially since Japanese hospitality is usually so warm. Also, during my three-night stay, the room was not tidied at all. Towels, amenities, and sleepwear were replaced every day, but the room itself was never made up. Even a light tidying would make guests feel much more comfortable and welcome, especially for longer stays. Everything else about the hotel was excellent, which is why this small area stood out to me. I hope this feedback is helpful, and I look forward to staying here again in the future.

I felt safe in this cabin even if it was an all male accommodation. The locker is big enough to fit my stuff including luggage, and the check in process was really smooth. It is properly situated in Tenjin and nearby establishments are easy to go to (just by walking or subway).

Location of this hotel is excellent! Extremely easy to find - exit from the Chikushi Gate (East) at JR Hakata station and walk about 5 mins to reach the hotel. There is also a bus stop just 100 meters away (1 min walk) that you can take from the airport to reach the hotel, or from the hotel to reach the airport. Room is clean and decent size. Love the bathroom and the standing shower which has a nice rain shower, handheld shower and jacuzzi style massage shower. There’s also a bathtub for those who like to take baths. Room amenities can be obtained at hotel lobby so there is little waste - just take what you need. There is also a coffee machine that is free at the lobby. There is a self-service washing machine and dryer at level 3, level 7 and level 11. There is also a Family Mart just infront of the hotel and also a Lawson just around the corner. Great for getting late night light snacks. Overall, an excellent hotel! Highly recommended!

The hotel is perfectly located, close to the station, and there's a small park nearby. The room itself is quite spacious by Japanese standards, has everything you need, and is very clean. The breakfast is delicious, with a wide selection (they even have steak!). We really enjoyed it and will be back.

Expensive for what you get, but I am told that Fukuoka hotels are expensive (even more than Tokyo) because of the limited hotels compared to the amount of visitors it gets. The twin rooms are ridiculous TINY- way too small for two people and our two luggages! The receptionist was helpful and apologetic, and we were able to upgrade to a bigger twin room but you still get very bare amenities.

Canal City Fukuoka adalah salah satu mercu tanda Fukuoka, sangat mirip dengan Water Mall di China. Hotel ini terletak di dalam bangunan itu sendiri, dengan pintu lobi menghadap ke utara, hanya kira-kira dua puluh minit berjalan kaki dari stesen. Persekitarannya bagus, terasa seperti hotel empat bintang. Jika anda membawa bagasi ke Lapangan Terbang Fukuoka, saya cadangkan untuk menaiki teksi terus, hanya sekitar seratus yuan (RMB), kerana lapangan terbang sangat dekat dengan pusat bandar.
