"Relaxing sanctuary hotel in a super location minutes away from JR Kumamoto. Well trained polite staff and courteous, gave a kumamoto kids kit for my kids! Free coffee, easy lift access to the mall, parked at the basement for 1000 jpy only per night."
"Conveniently located in the city centre, walking distance to the main bus terminal and shopping district. Room was clean and quiet with needed amenities. Complementary afternoon drink (n/a) service was a nice touch. Friendy staffs, snd mostly conversant in English. Highly recommended and will definitely stay again."
"Vessel is a budget type accommodation... You get just enough of what you need and if you want anything more or anything specific, you help yourself to their amenities on the 2nd floor reception. Location wise was perfect for us and the rooms are all insulated so you don't really hear the noise outside. They don't provide carpark but have a tie up where you pay a fixed rate to a very close by carpark operator (about 250m away only). We were 4 persons (2 adults and 2 teenagers) and even though the room came with two beds each sized between a single bed and a queen sized bed and a third roll out mattress, you still need to pay more for the bed linen, comforter and a pillow."
"As a seasoned traveller, there are a few things that is very important to me. Below are the following.
Mattress : 8.5/10
Pillow : 3/10
Cleanliness : 8/10
Sound insulation : 8:10
Service : 8/10
Remarks : Stone throw away from main shopping street. Many restaurants nearby. Self check in, with affiliated car parks nearby with reasonable price. But pillow was really really bad. They should do something about it. Didn’t have a really good sleep from it. Mattress was ok. They got a good TV though.

"Location was great, right next to shinshigai street, there was a public spa and sauna complimentary for guests to use. The pyjamas top was also quite comfortable to wear. Disposable toiletries available for pickup at the recep area, this includes tea. However, no coffee was available which was kinda shocking to me as this was a first I encountered in all the hotels I have stayed at. The air con or ventilation vent also requires deep deep cleaning, I had the sniffles after staying there and the air conditioning seems warm even after adjusting it to the lowest. I realised why after seeing the vent. The room feels slightly smaller than other similar sizes room that I have booked during my travels in Kyushu region."
"The hotel is conveniently located right next to Kumamoto Station, just a short 200-meter walk from the Kyushu Odan Bus stop. It boasts a luxurious ambiance, and the lobby is truly grand and impressive. The rooms are quite spacious, particularly the bathrooms. Kumamoto Station itself offers numerous dining options. We especially enjoyed the Wagyu BBQ on the 7th floor of the adjacent mall; we visited in the afternoon and took advantage of their discounted set menu, which was fantastic value for money."
"A great value stay! The staff were friendly and helpful. The washing machine facilities were easy to use and managed to find an available machine most times. We stayed for 3 nights and each day bins were emptied and fresh towels given. The extra space under the bed for suitcases is a great touch and overall the room design in excellent. There were several tour groups staying during the 3 days which made it a little too busy, especially during breakfast as these guests all went at the same time. Not a great experience for more independent travelers like us, but the staff tried very hard. Overall one of the better stays we had during our Kyushu trip."
"The hotel situated at the bus terminal where buses go directly from the airport.
Staffs are friendly and always happy to help.
Free coffee and tea at the lobby. Freshments like noodles you can get for free every night. Ice cream is free to take after 10pm. In the morning u can get free yoyurt.
Hot spring is very nice and hot. I would stay at the same hotel if I come again."
"The hotel, which opened on August 20th, boasts a beautiful, clean, and quiet environment. Guests are greeted with free coffee and late-night ramen. Free popsicles and Yakult are available in the hot spring area, and the reading lounge is filled with manga. Shoes are required throughout the tatami mats, and the staff are always on hand to maintain and clean them. My three-day stay was very comfortable, and my children were so happy they didn't want to leave.
There is parking available, but guests must reserve a day's parking fee of 1,500 yen. There's also a 24-hour parking tower at the intersection, which has a special agreement with the hotel for 1,200 yen between 3:00 PM and 11:00 AM. It's quite good."
"Perfect location at heart of Kumamoto, full of retail and dining facilities nearby; But slightly indirect circulation (Take lift to mall 2/F, then take shuttle lift to 10/F hotel reception, then take lift down to hotel room floors)
Room quite small but comfy, luckily with a view of Kumamoto Castle
Parking at affiliated carpark, with discounted fare for hotel guest ($1200yen)"

Outstanding
EEtsukoThank you for your continued support. It's been a year since my last stay at Nakajimaya Dyeing and Inn. I received a handwritten welcome message upon check-in and I am truly grateful for the heartwarming hospitality. Every time I stay here, I always feel like I'm coming home to a cozy, relaxing place. The owner's warm and kind hospitality can be felt in every corner of this inn. And whenever I stay here, it's always spotlessly clean, so I can stay comfortably. The shared kitchen is comfortable and I always cook my own meals. The shared living room is also spacious and comfortable. The shower room is hygienic and has plenty of hot water. Of all the guesthouses and dormitories I've stayed at, this is my favorite. I stay here every time. I recommend this inn as it's a place you can stay with peace of mind.
GGuest UserHotel Nikko truly lives up to its reputation as a standard-bearer for Japanese hospitality – with impeccable five-star facilities and service.
The hotel is located in Torichosuji, about a 10-minute walk from Sakuramachi Bus Terminal. It’s directly opposite Tsuruya Department Store, and a bustling shopping street with several pharmacies and numerous dining options is right next door. I especially recommend checking out Sakuramachi Sakura Mall for some serious retail therapy! 😂
Personally, I found staying near Kumamoto Bus Terminal much more convenient. Buses offer extensive and affordable coverage to most destinations. Kumamoto’s JR train services aren't very frequent, and while they might save a little time, transfers can be cumbersome and much more expensive.
The room was very spacious. Our triple room had two large beds pushed together, which was perfectly sufficient for sleeping. It also featured a capsule coffee machine and complimentary La Mer toiletries – a truly luxurious touch! The lobby is bright and spacious, making every entrance and exit a pleasant experience. The senior lobby manager, with his remarkably sharp gaze, reminded me of the 'Grand Maison Tokyo' drama, exuding an air of sophisticated, old-money elegance that was subtly impressive!🤣
Overall, I was thoroughly satisfied with Hotel Nikko Kumamoto. A perfect score, highly recommended!
SShin-Woei FannYou can see this hotel when you walk out from the east gate of JR Kumamoto station. Although the nearby area is not popular with just few restaurant and store, but it has a local railway station.
However, I have to say this is the worst hotel I have ever lived in my travelling life. This one in the Kumamoto shame on the whole Toyoko Inn system.
I had got some strawberry and sweets in the fridge in the room, and they were all frozen to ice at that night. I did not change any switch in the fridge and it was set up to 2 of total 5.
Then I took the frozen strawberry to the front and told the stuff, but a lady just said sorry about that and that's all.
I can understand there are some difficulties for the staff to explain why bad thing happened to the customers, but at least they should show they would put effort to fix the problems.
This happened in the second night, but I have not get any explanation or compensation when I left even till now.
And the water pump also created lots of noises when nearby rooms using water, so I think is might be refrained from an old hotel.
AAnonymous UserGood central location and close to Kumamoto castle and short tram ride away from Kumamoto train station. Clean and decent sized rooms considering Japan. Many eateries and restaurants within walking distance too. Nice gardens at Suizenji
TTraveller CI stayed at this hotel twice. The second time (this booking) we had a room on the older (?) wing and it was almost twice the size of the first one. So for this review I will only share feedback on this “older” room.
This room was big and thus good for us as we had 2 large luggage and more space in the room allowed us to open and pack our luggages with ease.
The bathroom was large with the large traditional bathtub. Toilet had bidet and etc but lacked heating which made it very cold in the winter. Basin tap was still the old turn types which was not eco friendly as it’s more difficult to shut it off.
Location was just opposite the train station which was excellent. But the nearest convenience store is also only at the train station which is about a 5-7mins walk away.
Breakfast was curated to suit the Japanese palette more and ends at 9a.m which is really way too early!!
We left something behind in the hotel but they managed to send the item back to us at our new hotel (still in Japan) which was highly appreciated.
Despite a few minor shortcomings listed above, the pros still outweigh the cons and I’ll definitely be happy to stay here again.
GGuest UserThis is our second time staying at FAV Hotel, and the overall experience was very pleasant. Firstly, the room design is very modern, giving it a comfortable feel. The interior color palette primarily uses warm tones, complemented by wooden decor, creating a cozy atmosphere.
The room's layout is also very practical. The bunk bed design is especially suitable for family travelers; children can play on them, making it easier for parents. Additionally, the beds are extremely comfortable, ensuring we had a good night's sleep.
In terms of space, the room is exceptionally spacious, and it provides plenty of charging ports.
The room is equipped with a kitchenette and a washing machine, which is extremely convenient. The only minor drawback is the limited parking, with only three spaces available. However, there's a nearby parking lot which costs just 600 yen for the whole night. Furthermore, there's a convenience store within a one-minute walk.
In summary, I was extremely satisfied with the design, comfort, and convenience of the rooms at this hotel. Highly recommended for family travelers!
GGuest UserLocated near Karashimacho tram station if you came from JR Kumamoto station. Many combini and supermarket in the area. Walking distance to Kumamoto castle, Kumamoto inari shrine, and Kumamoto square. Hotel staffs were really nice. The room and corridor functioned well but some refurbishment would be appreciated by many guests I think.
RRomanI think it was the biggest disappointment so far. The hotel is fine if you stay for one night. But more — I doubt it. For example, it is mandatory to leave at 10:00 even if you stay for more than one night. You can pay 1500 yen, but it literally gives you nothing. You can’t use sauna and sento. You received no additional service or amenities. Even sleeping is hard — the staff changes sheets. Next, people actually live in this capsule hotel. It means they get up very early, loud, alarm clocks, etc. Finally, the locker room is super tiny. There is little space. No benches. Definitely will not stay again.
Good sides — the staff is polite, and you can store your luggage at the counter. Actually, you must, but people still carry their luggage upstairs.
PPupuhewanwanThe hot spring bath isn't large, but it wasn't crowded, making the overall experience very comfortable. The restaurant on the first floor takes last orders at 11 PM, and the food was delicious and reasonably priced.
GGuest UserI honestly do not know where to start, I booked the hotel without really knowing much about Kumamoto Prefecture. After arriving in Kumamoto City and then realising Ueki Onsen is another 40 minute bus ride I was thinking oh dear where am I staying. After arriving at the hotel I was greeted by the manager of the hotel who showed me to my room and gave me a tour of the facilities. Once settled in I realised there isn't great public transport around and I primarily wanted to see Beppu and Yufuin during my stay, I enquired with the manager on where I might be able to rent a car, with little to no Japanese language under my belt he took it upon himself to reserve a vehicle for me and offered to drive me himself to collect it. He then also said he would take me back to return it a few days later. After my trips to Beppu and Yufui village (Not to be missed) and not to miss the outstanding and beautiful surroundings in Uekimachi and the Aso region. The manager and I set off to return my hire car, on the way back he took me to Kikuchi shrine to pray and also gifted me coffee and cake. They also accommodated me with use of the on site onsen (amazing) after hours as I'm heavily tattooed. I feel truly grateful to have found this hidden gem of rural Japan and if you are thinking of traveling this great country I emplore you to go off the beaten path. I experienced untold kindness during my stay and have memories of a life time. Thank you so much guys
