"Staff was very accommodating even though I don't speak any japanese "

"Room, hotel staff and facilities were absolutely brilliant. Beautiful room. A lovely place to stay! The hotel is above a plaza with plenty of shopping and food and right next to Kanazawa station and the Kumamoto Tram. You are slightly away from central Kumamoto so if you’re looking for more local eats and to walk around you have to take the short tram in (or bus) "

"Awesome location, clean with excellent service. I love it so much I booked for an extended stay."

"The Cost Performance value is excellent. especially the breakfast is full of variety."

"Great property. Room is renovated and quite modern but I think the toilet wasn’t renovated. Centrally located within walking distance to everywhere including the castle. No worries on where to eat as there are plenty of fantastic options around. "

"Great place"

"The hotel seems fairly new and was very clean. Moreover, the location is right by a tram stop, and is a very short walk to a lot of restaurants and stores, including a nice Shinshigai (large covered shopping area) that is across the street. Only about a 20 minute walk to Kumamoto Castle as well. The bed was very firm, which some might not like, but I thought it was good."

"Ofuro"

"This hotel was spacious. The toilet was outside of the bathroom, which was nice. The view of the river that we had was lovely and their elevator was super fast. Amenities were all free at the front. There was coffee in the lobby but we didn’t know it was for us. Nobody explained that. The cups were so tiny though - you needed 3 cups!!! There was a fridge, hairdryer, and a large TV. If you don’t have mobility issues, it’s less than a 10 minute walk to major shopping, which was all under cover. This was lovely because it was pouring down rain the day we arrived. Clearly the local town is very helpful as we were stuck in the rain. A lady pulled over and gave us her personal umbrella because she felt bad that we were struggling to walk from the tran stop to this hotel. It was a bit of a struggle and out of the way, even after taking the tram as close as we could (number 6) The beds were super comfy. It was really updated and the pillows were great as well. It was about a half an hour walk from the station to the hotel if you were up for the walk"
