Great choice near the Hakata train station
This was my first experience with a Japan Rail managed hotel and I was very pleased with the service and the room I got was very nice for the price. Very well situated and quiet. I would go back in a heartbeat. Even the price for breakfast was reasonable. I recommend this place to anybody.

Very comfortable and clean multi day stay!
The rooms were well organized, clean and had the space as described. The beds were very comfortable. And my child (10yo) stayed free as she shared a bed with us. She was also given a small bag of amenities with her own slippers as well! The staff were very helpful and they were also able to hold a few of our luggage just over a week as we travelled into central/southern Kyushu before returning for another stay back in Fukuoka. This helped immensely. Location was also great, roughly 10 min walk to Hakata station and Canal City so it was a very convenient location.

Some staff refuse to help making a locoal restaurant reservation at the first time. However, we tried to ask someone else later on and got a very positive and thoughtful fallow up. We got a kind reminder regarding the booking in print that surprises me.

The hotel is very close to Hakata station. Room is clean and more spacious than expected. You can get amenity kits you need at the reception. Security is good too as the main gate will be locked 1-6am unless you unlock it with your key card. The staff are friendly as well.

Excellent choice
So close to Hakata station and was really comfortable. I'm impressed with the room size, larger than many of the other hotel chains in and around Japan.
Receptionist even assisted with our luggage transfer to the next hotel. She had kindly rung up the next hotel to confirm they would be happy to accept the luggages in advance prior to our arrival.

Quite near to JR station. Room is clean and spacious compare to other hotels in Japan. Lobby area is comfortable. Service is superb. You can ask reception for a handy weight measurer for the luggage, which is very useful for us when packing.

Good location. Limited comforts.
Very good location near Hakata Station and cheap price. But this is reflected in a tiny room; a window facing a concrete wall on the opposite building making it quite claustrophobic. Bed was too firm for a westerner. Service was good and room was kept clean.
