Excellent location, superb service”

Excellent location, short walk to everything - shopping, dining, tram station, bus terminal, etc. Service was superb. A front desk lady was particularly worth mentioning (pity I forgot her name). Besides speaking impeccable English - by Japanese standard, that is - she really went the extra mile to impress her guests. When we returned to the hotel a few hours after check-out to pick up our bags, she came to us from nowhere and told us she had noticed that we missed breakfast in the morning. To make up for that, she offered us 2 big boxes of fruit cake to take away, which turned out to be really tasty. That was truly touching!

Great location. Very convenient.”

This hotel is nice but rooms are a bit small. However, being in Japan previous years before, it's pretty much typical for 3 star hotels in Japan. The location is great though. Right smack dab in the Shinshigai Sunroad arcade shopping plaza surrounded by tons of local places to eat, shop and drink. Plus a 10 minute walk from the Kumamoto Castel. Breakfast, for the rather nutritious healthy "Asian style" that it is nonetheless overpriced. (1,800 yen!) Other than that the hotel is nice.

Great location. Small but clean facilities. Wish non-smoking room was available.”

As many have said, the location is good being only 10 - 15 minutes by taxi and 20 min or so by bus away from Kumamoto station. It is situated within an arcade with a multitude of shops and restaurants nearby, which are open late if you are arriving at night. Kumamoto castle is nearby and was about a 15 minute walk away from the hotel. We booked during golden week which may have made it more expensive for the somewhat small room but the facilities were clean and well kept. Unfortunately, no non-smoking rooms were available when we checked in so we had to stay in a smoking room, which made the stay a bit uncomfortable for us.

Quit good location close to the main shopping street, and train station, many restaurants and shops nearby, also close to Kumamoto City and other tourism points. On the other hand, price level acceptable, but room size a bit smaller than expected, 2 medium size luggages maybe not be easy to place and open at same time. But over good hotel, will consider to stay again.
