Super large rooms! Normally these types of hotels have tiny rooms and you can’t even open a large suitcase on the ground. This room was so spacious you could open up 5 large suitcases and still have space to move around.

It was great friendly staff with a breakfast buffet in the mornings. It is 1500 yen for the breakfast buffet which has local cuisine. The only downside i would say is if you need to do laundry it can get really expensive

It’s a one minute walk round the corner from a huge covered shopping arcade. Lots of food options. The whole check in and check out process was easy. The staff helpfully kept our luggage when we arrived in the morning. The room was very well designed with everything we needed. The breakfast buffet was nice, a mix of Japanese and western breakfast. They included some local dishes which was a nice touch.

First visit to Kumamoto

It was good. The room was spacious and the service we got from the staff pre and at check-in are flawless. It can be a bit of a challenge to get to the hotel from JR Kumamoto station with luggage as the tram is always full of people the station. But I really like the fact that it's close to the shotengai area and there are a lot of shops, restaurants and game centres around.

Public parking, convenient stores and shopping street is less than 3 mins away from the main door of the hotel. A good variety of toiletries are available at the hotel reception area. We can take whatever that we needed without any waste. The room and toilet are clean and spacious. The beds are comfortable. It is a plus point to have the connecting rooms available for our family. While they do not have a wide variety of food choices for breakfast buffet, the food is tasty with some Kumamoto local dishes available for us to try. Check out their official site to have a feel of the breakfast.
