10/10 Exceptional

A old styke hotel but clean & good location. Good view of Kumamoto Castle. Shopping street just a few minutes walking. Lot of restaurants nearby.
SUI FAN LOUISA, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful view of the castle straight from the window. Very convenient location for visiting castle and ginza, and plenty of place to eat close to hotel. Only negative is I cannot park our car in the hotels parking lot due to it being long, although it's a regular size car. Offsite parking was not convenient and its a hit and miss and very tight parking spots.

The location of the hotel is perfect. Castle is right across the river, Soseki Natsume's old residence is just 5 minutes walk away. You can find nice local food services like Kumamoto ramen Komurasaki and others just around the corners. Free-drink free lounge with a great castle view is just something you want to experience at you hotel. Room, building, staffs, It's an A stay. Thank you!

おさむ, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was very nice…in 1995. Now, it feels like the ghost of a hotel. It’s not terrible, but there are a lot of little things that add up. Everything is quite old, the water from the bathroom smells bad, the keys reprogram if they get to close to your cell phone, the decor is all kind of yellow and brown, the beds are stiff and uncomfortable, and for the first time in Japan I encountered hotel staff that seemed like they wished I wasn’t there. No one was rude, but they didn’t seem to like me very much when I bed to get my key fixed. One thing that is great is the view of the castle, that’s is amazing.
