About a 3-minute walk from Karashimacho Station. Enjoy a comfortable stay in a convenient location for sightseeing and business.

Opening in April 2024! GRIDS is designed with the concept of "THE TRAVELLERS HUB: Connecting journeys. Connecting people. Connecting hearts." Our goal is to create a Property where guests can discover new connections with people and things, while serving as a hub for sharing local information. This Hotel embraces the concept of "SUMU," featuring a lobby that reflects the nature and culture of Kumamoto, a breakfast buffet filled with Kumamoto specialties, and guest rooms that serve as a gateway to the vibrant city. Whether for business or leisure, we provide a comfortable Hotel stay. Conveniently located in Chuo Ward, Kumamoto City, just a 3-minute walk from Karashimacho Station. The Property is within walking distance of Kumamoto's iconic "Kumamoto Castle," the sightseeing hub "Sun Road Shinshigai," and the landmark of Kumamoto Sakura-machi, "SAKURA MACHI Kumamoto," making it an ideal base for exploring the city.

  • Overall, it was excellent.However, I had trouble sleeping because the pillow didn’t suit me, which might be a personal preference.There was no information provided about the lounge (?), and I only realized it later. Was this because I checked in late and had limited time? Or is it not offered from the start due to cost-saving measures?Since the bed has a large gap underneath, regular checks might be a good idea.

  • It was my first time staying at a hotel without a unit bath, but it was nice not having the hassle of a shower curtain. Since I stayed on a hot late summer day, it was fortunate that I didn't need to use the bathtub. I was provided with extra bath towels and face towels, so I used the rain shower multiple times and found it very relaxing. Perhaps because the facility is new, the room was clean and I had a pleasant stay. With two elevators in operation, I was able to get on and off without waiting. Thank you for the built-in air conditioner, which cooled very powerfully and allowed me to stay comfortably.
