The hotel is in a great spot, really close to the JR station, making it super convenient for travel. My room was spacious, though the bathroom could have used a little more room. The service was friendly and helpful, but I found them a bit strict about room changes. Overall, it's a good value for money, but there were some quirks.

The hotel is conveniently located just minutes from Hakata Station, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms are clean, but if you're a non-smoker, be cautious as they can smell like smoke. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, but communication in English can be a bit challenging at times. Overall, it's a decent place for a stay with reasonable value for money, especially given the nearby amenities.

The rooms are small, which is typical for Japan, but they're cozy and come with some nice amenities. The service was incredibly helpful and friendly, which really enhanced my stay. However, there were a couple of things, like the presence of carpet that I could have done without, and the room size might feel cramped for some.
