Golden Week 2009”

The hotel was clean and the staff was accommodating. The front desk knew enough English to get me checked in and checked out :) I didn't have a chance to look at the double or triple rooms, which had a better view. The singles all face the center of Canal City and the Hyatt hotel. The positives were vicinity to the mall and to the city. We easily walked to Tenjin and there were several local shrines and temples in the vicinity that made a nice day of roaming around the city. Cabs are plentiful in Fukuoka and you can easily catch one right outside of the Hotel. I didn't try the restaurants in the hotel, but they looked good.

Excellent hotel and Good Value for Money”

Excellent hotel located in the fun area of Canal city, with beautiful artificial canals, series of restaurant, next door to Hyatt, with all facilities of Hyatt is also available. It is the best area of Fukuoka. The Hotel is very clean,rooms are bigger than average, we both fely very happy.

Satisfied”

I stayed at the Canal City for 3 nights. The location is excellent with easy access to ATM's, resaurants and buses. There is a looping bus which travels into Tenjin every 10 minutes - (will stop in front of the train station). It will cost 100 YEN - it was quite easy. Cross the road from the train station to catch it back to Canal City. It won't take you to where you originally got on but it is still very close - stop number 4. The room was a little small but no complaints from me. The bed was comfortable and the showers hot. I would recommend staying here whithout hesitation. I found there wasn't a great deal of english spoken around Fukuoka so bring your hand book - most are willing to help - it's a good adventure

8 days in Fukuoka Washington Hotel”

The hotel seems as a very good value for money. A good starting point in traveling out from the city, 8 min from Hakata JR station and 5 min from Gion subway, 10 min walking and you get to Tengin the main hangout area. The canal city shopping center is right next to the entrance of the hotel. The rooms are quiet, clean but a bit small.

Canal City Washington Hotel”

The Washington Hotel is a really good value for the money that I spent to stay there. The price was about $50 per night which is a really good price for Japan. The hotel staff was friendly although they did not speak English very well. It was a bit difficult to navigate the city based on the information they provided. There is really great shooping and dining within the Canal City shopping center.

Great Location”

The hotel is basically part of Canal City the major shopping venue in Fukuoka. The location is great and there are plenty of restaurants inside the Canal City mall and in the neighborhood. The rooms are clean and spacious compared to some hotels I've stayed at in Japan. Would use this hotel again for future trips.

It was excellent”

The location is right next to Canal City, which is a well-known attraction in Hakata ward. The cleanliness is top notch, as well as friendly customer service is always appreciated. That being said, a slightly lower price or adding more value to the purchase would be appreciated.

comfortable,clean and valuable”

the hotel is located close to the canal city shopping center, only 3 mins by Gion station you can access to hakata or tenjn station.Moreover is near the historical village. you can feel free to walk from the hotel to see a good traditional house and temple.

Wish come true”

Hotel is located in a fantastic architecturally built shop/restaurant complex that has maintained its unique identity. It is within walking distance from the Hakata train station. Walking along the canal is pleasant, food stalls are varied and interesting. Reception staff are warm and helpful. House cleaning perfect and breakfast is generous -- the offer of fish, salmon and curry but also plenty for vegetarians like me. Thank you.

Hotel in shopping centre area”

We arrive In Fukuoka central station and then go to the hotel using Bus no 6.1 if I remember it correctly. But I need to walk about 300m to the hotel. The room is nice, we had problem with the internet connection in the room and asked for assistance, but since they don't have technician that can speak English so I think they asked someone else to help us to solve the problem through the telephone. We stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights, and the weather was not good, it was raining on the second day, but since the hotel located in Canal City shopping center, we still do some stuff like shopping and find some food without getting wet. The hotel is good, but the access from the central station is not too convenient for traveler with luggage. We went from the hotel to station by walking about 15 mins because there is no direct bus access to the station.

superb location but front counter cant understand English , and not that friendly ”

Hotel location is very good , right at the Canal City (hotel lift can access to Canal City Mall directly ) , with short walk to Canal City Hakata subway station. Plentiful of good restaurants and shopping, taxi station is just across the road. You may also walk 15 mins to Hakata Main Station , and 18 mins to Tenjin . We booked for triple room , the room size is OK but not much space for 3 big luggage .The toilet is in average size . The hotel serves breakfast from 6.30 am onward , with a good spread of western and japan varieties . As we need to check out very early on the last day , hotel offered us a gift set of Ramen for replacement. Overall , we are happy with this hotel , should have book early for better rate.

Simplisticly brilliant”

After a bit of a struggle to find the hotel (we followed the first location shown on google maps, bad idea) we eventually found it where you would expect it, right on top of the Canal City Shopping complex. The position makes it a perfect vantage point into the more traditional side of Fukuoka which was exactly what we were after. Staff were friendly and while there was little english there was plenty to get checked in and and out again 2 days later, what more do you need?

Quite Good.. ”

Good hotel to be considered in Hakata Area. Right inside the canal city which foreighners will appreciate. A bit far from station, around 10-12 mins.

Stay at Canal City Washington Hotel”

The location of this hotel is great! Right next to Canal City. The price is also great for what you get. Overall the hotel was very clean, though even on the nonsmoking floors the scent still lingered a bit. We stayed on the 12th floor in a two-bed room and had an amazing view of the city. The staff was friendly and helpful and their English was very good.

excellent ”

very convenient for shopping as it is connected to the canal city shopping mall hotel room is spacious n cozy. staff are very helpful n nice.

Convenient location”

It's a bit of walk/train ride from Tenjin station if you want high-fashion shopping. However, Canal City mall offers variety of shops and restaurants with some night time water show/street performances. 3-min walking makes it so easy! Also I booked a 4-person room for 3 people. Japanese rooms tend to run on compact size and I found the extra bucks totally worthy to breathe and pack the suitcases.

Clean and great location”

highly recommend to all travelers who loves shopping, food and etc. Room are definitely clean, staff are helpful. Love the Food Stall (Yatai) which is just across the Canal City.

Perfect space for malling.”

Pros : This hotel was great for guests who prefers stay inside the mall and spend time mostly for shopping. Quality of breakfast exceeded my expectation. Cons : At the time of any event in canal city, the noise was bit too loud. Public transportation access was not very good.

The location was the best”

My friend and I stayed 2 nights and 3 days in Japan. We made a reservation here for the 2nd night and the location was the best. Since it’s connected to the biggest shopping mall in Fukuoka, it’s very convenient to shop. Also their breakfast was wonderful, too. I would definitely come back here for the next time.

I want to come back”

The subway station is not very near to hotel. So we walked a little while. However the weather was good, it was shiny. The room was nice. We stayed there for 1 night. It was raining on the evening. Since the hotel is located in Canal City we thought we could do shopping, but the shops were closed after 10 p.m. I guess. The pillows were very interesting to us. They were not regular fluffy pillows. I think they were filled with a stuff like corn or rice.
