How to get to the hotel”

If you are coming from the airport by taxi, it just costs about 2200Yen for a 15 minute drive. The taxi driver should be ok with Hotel Ascent at Tenjin. If you are coming by subway from the domestic airport, you would stop at Tenjin station. Then, look for signs that point towards Tenjin Chikagai (Tenjin Underground Shopping Street). You might be distracted by the variety of shops there, but head towards the Exit 1 (WEST) at Showa Avenue and Futata. The info counter or any of the multilingual maps located at close intervals in the underground shopping street can help as well. When you see a DHC store, you are heading the right direction. Go up the flight of stairs. Walk one block, passing by a convenience store and Subway. The hotel is located around the corner from Terrazzo Pepecino (an italian eatery which happens to be the restaurant attached to the hotel)

Great Location”

Pros- Great location. Few walk to the subway, bus stops and malls and lots of restaurants and vonvenience stores nearby. Cons- No aircon the whole time, only heater so we ended up turning it off to feel comfortable. We stayed here during autumn Nov 24 to 27, 2016. Staff told us that for the autumn until winter, hotel uses only the heater. Maybe it is centralized. We requested a none-smoking room. We stayed at the 6th floor. Our room was smoke free. However, we can smell the smoke at the hallway of the 6th floor. A friend who works in Fukuoka for a long time told us that there are some hotels which are cheaper with the same kind of facilities. Hotel does not have a weighing scale, so we were not able to monitor the weight of our baggages. Haha! But overall, I would still recommend staying at Hotel Ascent Fukuoka.

Nice Room for Solo Traveler”

I am a female solo traveler exploring Fukuoka and the hotel was in a nice location, close to convenient stores and restaurants. It was really safe and the staff did their best trying to understand me. The tricky part was getting off the subway and from Exit 4 (Tenjin Station), turning into this little alleyway to see the hotel beyond. I made a huge block turn thinking the little alleyway was not the right street to go to. Overall, I'd stay in this hotel again whenever I'm in Fukuoka since more restaurants, Bic Camera is just a couple of blocks away. Just a tip, it might be a squeeze for two adults and lots of big luggage, then again, most rooms in Japan are compact.

Good business hotel in a very good location”

The hotel Ascent Fukuoka is located in a very good location (just walk up from subway). However the Tenjin station is quite big and has many exits, it's not easy if we get out from other exits not the 1 West (walk through shopping areas). There are many shops, restaurants & department stores, just in few steps The hotel has everything for my stay. Staff are helpful. Room is not big for 2 pax.

good location, clean and comfortable”

The hotel has many good staffs in service, from check-in to check-out, maid, they are all impressive. The room has a good view of Fukuoka city, big window and comfortable room. It’s very easy to access to the hotel and nearby shopping places as well as central transportation in Tenjin. You can walk or take bus, train, and subway to go anywhere in Fukuoka city.

Thanks for the slight early check-in”

This hotel is so close to Tenjin station. We arrived at close to 2 pm. Thankfully the reception staff allowed us to check in despite the norm that check in time was always at 3.00 pm in Japan. Thanks so much! We really needed it. The room was clean and as requested we got top floor room (for the view and quietness). One thing one should beware is that Tenjin is so full of tall buildings; so it may not be so easy to notice the hotel building. Bring along the map to arrive. At a junction of the road there is a man-height box-shaped signage written on it HOTEL ASCENT.

Great Service”

I came to this city to obtain a Visa from the consulate and was searching for a hotel close to the subway system. This hotel fit the bill perfectly. Just a few blocks from the subway, it was so convenient. The staff was amazing as well. I didn't have an adapter for my computer and the front desk found one for me quickly. The Ascent was also very clean and was in excellent repair, and was close to lots of options for dining and shopping. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Overall satisfied”

If you’re looking for an affordable accommodation where also will save you some transportation fees, this is the place. Max. 20 min walk around the city will allow you to reach most of the main spots. Also, Tenjin train station is very close. Lots of bus lines operate near as well. Liked the Tenjin neighborhood alright. The hotel itself is slightly aged (maybe other guest’s cleanliness issues come from here) but it was suitable for a solo traveler with tight budget. Eventually, you get what you pay for and it worked for me since my priority was location. Recommended for short term visitors like me who loves to explore the city on foot. Staffs were helpful and kind with responding inquiries. Overall satisfied.

Great stay!”

Overall it was a really great stay for those interested to rest well in this hotel. Room size is good @ 23 sqm. Staff was friendly. Location is central and generally very quiet. Wi-Fi is great (though you might to find which repeater works for you). Staff are helpful and willing to recommend and make reservations even though they didn't know much English. The best way to get to this hotel is using the number 4 exit at Tenjin (Kuko line). On last flight of stairs, you want to remember this direction and turn right into a small alley with Ando's coffee near the end. If you're heading towards Parco, that's the wrong way. You'll then come across a light where you'll be able to see the signage and the entrance is on the left side.

Hotel of Stewardess'”

You don't have to reserved with breakfast in this hotel, since there are food stalls in every step outside. Through underpass near the hotel you can find underground arcade and reach Tenjin Station which can bring you anywhere in Fukuoka. BTW stewards and stewardess' and pilots of many airlines pick this hotel for their staying, isn't it a guarantee? staff gave us smoking room instead non-smoking room we reserved. Rom is small and that's okay for us. we stayed 4 nights pleasantly.

Excellent Location, Good Price and Full Amenities ”

Location is excellent, within stone's throw to Tenjin station, bus terminal and my son's favourite Sushiro! Amenities were individually packed and convenient stores are just round the corner. The room is pretty much like those in Hong Kong, not very spacious but clean and neat! The only setback this time was that I booked for non-smoking floor but was given a smoking room. May be an oversight on the part of hotel or Agoda. Overall, still a thumbs up! Actually the hotel also has massage service, about ¥4700 for a 45-minute massage. Yet to try though.

Relaxing and convenient stay”

Quick checkin, earlier then usually (before 2pm) , friendly stuff with good English skills, great nightlife and shopping-centre, attractions in walking distance .all in all a very nice stay at the Ascent Hotel in Fukuoka

BJ from a tranny”

I had a grey time at Ascent hotel. I brought a tranny home and it gave me a BJ. My girlfriend cried but I don't even care cos it was the best BJ. The staff let the tranny sleep over and we snuggled. The staff were totally cool, and didn't glare at me or th tranny in the morning. Crazy Horse is an awesome bar that is just across the road.

my sister love this hotel”

my sister and her son stay in here and they love this hotel because the convinence go to anywhere in fukuoka,very close to subway n bus station,and many culinary around hotel.staff very helping and kind.even the room not big but comfort and clean.And the price is very worthed

First time to Fukuoka”

It was my first my experience go abroad and to Japan. This hotel close to Tenjin subway station and give me cheap price because of my long stay. Despite a different language, the staff have a willing to help me almost in everything, include show me in Tenjin Map, the position of BIC Camera shop.

Fantastic”

Staff was friendly and accomodating. I got to the hotel early and could not check in yet but they kept my bags and moved them to my room so they were waiting for me when i got back. The location is super. It is located next to the Tenjin station which means an ambitious person can walk to many attractions or the subway is available. Tenjin is also a junction for three (I think) different subway lines. The room was clean. I would definately stay here again.

Great value for Fukuoka”

This was our second stay in Fukuoka and we were priced out of the hotel we stayed at the last time. This hotel was pretty much everything we were looking for and was a really great price. The rooms are a little more spacious than Tokyo. We knew it was a good choice when we saw JAL flight attendants also staying at the hotel. The location is incredible- right in the middle of Tenjin. Highly recommended.

Fukuoka's Shopping Zone”

The hotel was pretty nice. The room was comfortable and clean. The location was really wonderful though. We were just 2 minutes from the subway stop an the underground mall. It was a 10-15 minute walk over to the river where Fukuokas most famous food stalls filled the roads. A wonderful experience.

Good Value”

Great location, close to the Tenjin train station and some good places to eat, shop, drink. Room was kind of small by western standards but still a good value for the location. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would stay here again while in Fukuoka.

Great location and room size!”

The location was great as it was right in the heart of Tenjin. The room size was quite large for a Japanese business style hotel. Would be the perfect hotel for a women's shopping break as Tenjin seems to cater for mostly females.
