Henn na Hotel Fukuoka Hakata

The room is small, as you’d expect if you’ve stayed in Japan before, but the location is great and the bus stop is very close. For the elevator, use subway exit 4. Breakfast is rice balls, some bread, and soup, sometimes with egg. The lounge is free to use after breakfast until 10 p.m., with some snacks available. Toyota rent a car is right across the street, which is handy if you’re driving or renting. It’s good for kids, and they provide a kids’ amenity kit.

Easy self-service check-in and checkout, and the location worked perfectly for us. The beds were comfortable, and the bath, shower, and toilet facilities were good. It had everything we needed.

Getting around was easy: there’s a bus stop and both Family Mart and 7-11 nearby, Donki is two blocks away, and the yatai stalls are just a block off without feeling too crowded. We were fine sharing the two double beds, and I really liked having the shower and tub separate from the toilet and sink. The LG Styler came in handy too. The room did feel cramped, though. There wasn’t anywhere to put luggage, and the hanging space was barely big enough for my kid. No drawers either. That wasn’t my main concern, but there were a few small roaches and the fridge never worked.

The room was decent, though the bathroom felt much too small. The location made everything convenient, and I enjoyed the free breakfast and the cookies and juice they offered as snacks. My partner was happy to have the complimentary drinks in the evening, from 6 to 10 pm.
