My Wish ComeS True”

This is my second visit to Montan Hakata. The first time I was solo traveler. I chose Montan Hakata for my full stay in Fukuoka (4 days), but then I changed it to 2 days then moved to another hotel (I thought I'd better move to experience much), but I REGRET it. I regret that I could not spend more days in this beautiful place, and worse, the second hotel I chose felt much less than this. Therefore, I promised myself that I would be back to Montan Hakata, and it came true! ^^ I came here with my husband this time (we were just married!) for honeymoon. Montan Hakata's price was getting higher and more crowded as more people stayed there, compare to my first visit :( However, the service was good, as always. Unfortunately I missed the breakfast on my second day (last day) because I slept very late for packing luggage. In fact, I love the breakfast time in Montan Hakata, but I missed it! Hiks.. I will come back again! :)

Highly recommend Hostel in Fukuoka”

I stayed in 4 nights in Montan Hakata Hostel. Excellent location; 500m from Higashi-Hie Station which is one stop from Fukuoka Airport. 10min casual walk to JR Hakata station. Staff was very helpful & spoke quite a bit of English. For a hostel, it has a wide range of amenities in our private room with attached bathroom : towels, linens, Japanese bathrobe (yukata), tea, coffee, kettle, fridge, bedroom slippers, small sink, many power sockets, etc. In terms of facilities, there was spacious indoor & outdoor lounge areas, modern kitchen with hobs, microwave, oven, fridge, utensils, free water refills, huge dining table, rental bicycles, hi speed internet, free computer which we used to check in our flights & staff kindly printed out our boarding passes, self service washers & dryers at additional charge. There was breakfast included consisting of bread, raisin buns, hard boiled eggs, potato salad, butter & jam.

Worth the money ”

Definitely worth for the money we pay especially during Japan holiday. Place is clean and spacious. Free breakfast every morning from 7-9am. They help to keep our luggage for free before check in or after check out. Taxi fare from Montan to airport only 730yen and their staff help us to call for taxi 2 nights before we depart. Taxi fare from Montan to Hakata Station is 760yen. Nearest exit is Exit no 2 from station Higashi-Hie that u can see 711 after come out from the station. And pass across the bridge. The hostel in on your right hand side. We are happy for our stay and will definitely choose Montan again if revisit Fukuoka.

A home away from home”

I absolutely loved my 6 nights stay in a double room in montan. This place is awesome and you are made to feel right at home the moment you step into the hostel. Staff are very friendly, helpful & best of all they speak English. Very conveniently located - about 450m walk to Higashie-hie subway stn. It's only 1 stop on the subway to Fukuoka Airport. It is about 1km walk to Hakata stn. Warm & cosy ambience yet it has a cool vibe. The reception blends unobtrusively into the shared dining and spacious living areas with cushions for guests to sit on. There is a TV and ping pong table in the living areas. A shared kitchen is provided for guests' use. Hostel also provide self operated washing machine and dryer. The double room is spacious with a small living area and balcony. Room is well well-equipped with amenities for a comfortable stay. Bed was very comfortable. WiFi is fast and available throughout the hostel. I had a great stay here & definitely recommend it

Better than other hotel chains!”

Wasn't expecting much because it was a hostel, but we surprised as it was better than other hotel chains. They have free simple breakfast consisting of breads, egg, potato salad, etc. There's no shortage of amenities. They also have table tennis and bikes for rent. Rooms are larger than the standard Japanese hotel room. Our room had a balcony, couch and even a genkan, separated from the bedroom by a door. In terms of location, it's halfway between Hakata and the Higashi-Hie stations. If coming from the airport, Higashi-Hie station is just one station away. If you're at Hakata station, it's just a short walk. A ramen restaurant frequently rated #1 at reviews is also just a short walk away: Hakata Issou. I'll mention these just in case you're too picky about these things: - The heater's inside the bedroom, and the bathroom is outside the bedroom. So you'll be leaving the warmth of the room during winter. - We stayed at the topmost floor (9th) and the pressure is not that strong.

Highly recommended”

This is my 2nd time in Fukuoka. I stayed also in a hostel before but I prefer more Montan bcoz it is more spacious, nice facilities, nice ambiance and very friendly staffs compared to my previos hostel. Just a walking distance to Hakata Station but if you take a subway it is very near to Higashi-hie station. If i will go back to Fukuoka, i will definitely stay here again.

UNFORGETTABLE STAY IN MONTAN HAKATA HOSTEL”

Montan Hakata Hostel is very much recommended for budget travels and group travellers. Excellent location - near international airport, near hakata station and more! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and comfotable. Free breakfast is super ok! I love the potato salad..ambiance is so homey!

Thank you for all staff in Montan Hakata Hostel!”

I stayed in 4 nights in Montan Hakata Hostel. I thought it is not close to subway station in the first day, but later than, it was OK! (Higasihie station is more close to than Hakata station) All staff were nice and good at English, so don't worry about that. Free Breakfast and Free WIFI were good! Thank u so much for all staff members!

Best Hostel Ever”

Montan is slightly more expensive than other hostels in Hakata but it was definitely worth it. I have never seen such a beautiful hostel before. The building and the lobby, common area itself looked like a hotel. All the facilities were clean and well equipped. Each room had its own WiFi. I could stream a movie at ease. Staff were super friendly. They helped me call different restaurants to make bookings and gave me recommendations. I will come back again.

Great and spacious private rooms”

The private rooms were huge compared to other hotels in the vicinity. However, location was a little far from Hakata Station for those who can't walk much or if you have many luggage to carry around. It was nearer to the smaller quieter Higashi Hie subway station, away from all the convenient stores, restaurants and shopping malls. Very friendly staff, well equipped rooms. This is definitely the place that you should consider when staying in Fukuoka. Highly recommended!

I had a great stay.”

The location is quite strategic; near Higashi-hie or Hakata Station. Check in process was fast; they prepared well on my reservation. Toilet and shower room was cleaned all the time. My bed was comfy. The breakfast was simple but just perfect for me; I love the potato salad. Overall, I satisfied staying at Montan.

Modern Clean Comfortable Hostel”

Montan Hakata is a modern, energetic, funky hostel staffed by English speaking young people. The location is good - sandwiched in between Higashie-Hie subway (10 min walk) and the main Hakata station (15 min walk). The rooms are spacious with sufficient space for a couch though the toilet is a little cramped but it is still acceptable. I love the simple breakfast (I think it's free) and the communal space where guests can hang out. The staff is friendly but I feel they are "professionally cold" ie they give answers to your queries but without warmth or going the extra mile for you. But overall, it is a pleasant stay. I highly recommend this place.

Very super nice and helpful staff 👍😊. ”

Location near to Hakata station, about 7-8 mins walking distance. Hakata station is a interchange for all type of Fukuoka transport. Along the way has many convenient shop where can buy stuff. The hotel is clean and tidy. There is a staff can speak Mandarin and English, he is very super helpful. Definitely can come back again.

Exceptional”

The hostel is close to both Higashihie and Hakata Station. Coming from Hakata Station, you can easily locate it by just walking straight at Hakata's Chikushi Exit. Once you see the mini open park, just turn left at the street as you approach 7/11 also near the park. If coming from Higashihie Station, you can easily see it from the bridge. It was a nice walk from both stations. Not so crowdy and lots of convenience stores around too. And I feel like I belong lol. About the hotel, we're happy it's very spacious and the bed is so comfy! Plus, there's a free breakfast that serves bread, potato salad, coffee, orange juice, boiled egg everyday. Overall, it was a pleasant stay! Very friendly staff and they speak good English :)

Highly recommend this place”

I spent 4 days at triple room with my friends. I'm writing this review because I and my friends really satisfied with experience at this place. Staff - All staffs were kind and supportive. I asked some questions before I arrived and they sent me the messages very quickly. Cleanliness & Location - This place is 10 mins away from Hakata Sta. by walk. You can easily access to other convenience stores such as Family mart, 7-eleven and Lawson and even drug stores. Moreover, Stuffs keep the rooms clean every day. Facilities & Breakfast - They serve simple breakfast for free like different type of breads, beverages and potato salad(REALLY GOOD). First floor is opened for the all guests so you can talk with your friends, have some food etc. Furthermore, you don't have to bring amenity it's ready in your room. Other - 굉장히 깔끔한 숙소입니다. 한국어로 대화는 해보지 않았으나, 한국인 투숙객도 많은 편이라 무리가 없을 듯 하며 친구들, 혼자 그리고 가족 단위로 오신 분들도 많습니다. 1층 공동 공간은 타 게스트 하우스 처럼 소란스럽지 않으며 매우 조용한 편입니다. 일본어와 영어로 소통이 가능해 불편함이 없을 것으로 생각됩니다.

A cozy and nice hostel”

The staffs are all friendly and helpful. Although it's a little bit far from the Hakata station, it's worth the walk. Not only the room is big (compare to other hotel rooms), the public area is pretty relaxing. There are some convenience stores and a supermarket nearby. Just like your second home in Fukuoka. Highly recommend.

Exceptional”

Pros: > Location near both Hakata station and Higashi-hie station (although I prefer walking from Hakata just to avoid inclined bridge when coming from Higashi-hie as it's more tiring, there's also more shops you'd pass through from Hakata station) > Clean rooms and bathroom (free shampoo, conditioner and shower gel!) > Staff can speak and understand English > Decent breakfast Cons: > Shared shower room for both sexes

Great last minute place to stay”

This hostel was really great. I made the reservation about 20 minutes before arriving due to a missed train, and as with most modern hostels I've stayed at in Japan it was wonderfully clean. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to Hakata, which isn't the best walk with suitcases, but the clean, comfortable bed made up for that. The entire facility was very clean, the breakfast was really nice as well. Cute outdoor space in the middle with a hammock. Might stay again if I visit Fukuoka!

Good facilities. 10 mins from JR Hakata”

The place looks new and modern. The bed and shower room are very clean. Staff are very helpful. It is 10 mins to JR Hakata station or 5 mins to subway Higashihie. โรงแรมดูโมเดิร์นและใหม่ เตียงนอนและห้องอาบน้ำสะอาด พนักงานคอยช่วยเหลือเป็นอย่างดี เราพักที่นี่สองคืน แล้วไปนอนที่ยูฟุอินคืนที่สาม ที่พักให้ฝากกระเป๋าไว้ได้ฟรี เพราะจะมาพักที่เดิมในคืนที่สี่ เดินไป JR Hakata ประมาณ 10-15 นาที หรือเดินไปขึ้น subway สถานี Higashihie ประมาณ 5 นาที

Overall”

I have been reading the review of this Hostel before booking. Most of them gave a very good review and I'm supporting them. It is worth the price that we pay. Can be classified as 4 stars Hotel. The lobby is very simple, nice and comfortable. Simple free buffet breakfast. Staff very nice and helpful. Very convenient, near Higashi-hie Subway (approx 10 mins) and also JR Hakata Subway (approx 20 mins)
