Hotel berhampiran Pulau Shika, 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:** It's very close to Gion Station, and about a 5–7 min walk to Kushida Shrine Station and a local supermarket. Canal City Hakata is roughly 10 minutes away on foot. Overall, the location is quite convenient. **Service & Amenities:** Special praise for the reception staff—they were proactive, polite, spoke fluent English, and explained everything clearly. The hotel also provides free amenities, including Sekkisei skincare products and bath salts, which was a lovely touch! **Room & Cleanliness:** The room is spacious enough to fully open 2 to 3 suitcases. I especially loved the large, clean bathroom with its separate wet and dry areas. Housekeeping did a great job—just make sure to put your request magnet/card on the door before 10 AM. **Breakfast:** The food was decent, featuring salads, bread, omelets, sukiyaki, seafood bowls, French toast, and even free-flow wine. Some items require ordering directly from the chef, which caused a bit of a rush due to the crowds, but the staff tried their best to help. Food refills took a little time, so some patience is needed. **【立地】** 祇園駅からとても近く、櫛田神社駅やスーパーまでも徒歩5〜7分ほどです。キャナルシティ博多へは徒歩10分程度で、全体的にとても便利な立地でした。 **【接客・サービス】** フロントのスタッフの対応が素晴らしかったです。積極的かつ丁寧で、英語でのコミュニケーションもスムーズ、説明も分かりやすかったです。アメニティバーには雪肌精のスキンケア用品や入浴剤まで用意されていて、とても細やかな心遣いを感じました。 **【お部屋・清潔感】** お部屋は十分な広さがあり、スーツケースを2〜3個広げることができました。バスルームも広く、清掃が行き届いており、セパレートタイプ（乾湿分離）だったのが最高でした。お掃除の希望は午前10時までにドアに貼っておけば対応してもらえます。 **【朝食】** 味は普通に美味しかったです。サラダ、パン、オムレツ、すき焼き、海鮮丼、フレンチトーストなどのほか、ワインの飲み放題もありました。一部の料理はシェフに直接注文する形式で、混雑時は少し混乱していましたが、スタッフの皆さんは誠心誠意対応してくれました。料理の補充には少し時間がかかるため、少し待つ必要があります。

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.

Stayed at Hotel Oriental Fukuoka Tenjin and it was such a great choice! The location is super convenient—just a 2-minute walk to the subway entrance, making it easy to get around the city. There are also plenty of dining options nearby, with Yoshinoya, Matsuya, and even Shin Shin just around the corner. Service was consistently good, and the room was very comfortable. I especially loved the pillows and bed—perfect for resting after a long day of exploring. A nice touch was that they provided nightwear, which I didn’t bring, so that was really convenient. Breakfast had a great spread with lots of options to choose from, making mornings something to look forward to. Overall, a comfortable and hassle-free stay in a prime location!

The room is quite small, and it’s a bit difficult for two people to open their suitcases at the same time — we had to take turns. Other than that, everything was very good. Breakfast was plentiful and varied. I had seen reviews mentioning ikura, but it wasn’t available during my stay, which was a little disappointing. Still, I was overall very impressed.

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.
