Oriental Hotel Fukuoka Hakata Station

10/10 Excellent
"The room was rather small, and the mattress was soft at the edges. Food and service were excellent. Oriental Hotel Fukuoka Hakata Station provides guests with free drinks, including sake and wine in the evening, and cold soba late at night. Several of the staff were proficient in English. The location is another plus. The hotel is very near the drop off point for the Airport to Hakata Station bus, and is connected to the Hakata"

Mitsui Garden Hotel Fukuoka Nakasu

Mitsui Garden Hotel Fukuoka Nakasu

10/10 Excellent
"First time in Japan, travelled as a couple from Busan, South Korea. Pros: 1. Excellent location for first time in Fukuoka. Easily walkable to Hakata and Tenjin too. Nakasu has lots of good food options, Tenjin has excellent shopping. Safe to walk at night. 2. Hotel room reasonably priced for 4 star hotel. Loved the Toto bidet toilet. Rooftop onsen was a revelation, so peaceful and relaxing. 3. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. All my requests were cheerfully and efficiently done. 4. Room colour palette was almost boudoir-like; very romantic if that is your cup of tea. 5. Fukuoka subways are incredibly efficient, comfortable, safe, and affordable compared to London Underground. Cons: 1. Be aware discreet red light district adjacent to some Nakasu hotels, though none visible near Mitsui Garden Hotel Nakasu Fukuoka. 2. Lots to do in Fukuoka. We only barely scratched the surface during our two day stay."
