진노하라역 × 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

It was the weekend right before the Obon holidays, so every Accommodation was expensive and I was looking for somewhere affordable. Since it was cheap, I didn’t have high expectations, but it was clean, the shampoo and other amenities were POLA, the room size was just right for a solo stay, and I was satisfied with the breakfast curry and bread. I was able to park at a nearby parking lot for only 600 yen. This is a Hotel I’d like to stay at again when I visit Kitakyushu. Thank you very much.

As always, the staff were very helpful, and the room was well cleaned, so I had a comfortable stay. If I had to mention a few drawbacks: • Shower It is not a thermostatic mixer tap, so adjusting the temperature and water flow is inconvenient. The showerhead also cannot be temporarily shut off. I would like to see this improved. • Air conditioner Even if the unit is old, it’s fine as long as it works; however, I would like it to be able to run while I’m out (e.g., on a separate power supply). When entering the room, it isn’t at a comfortable temperature, which feels unpleasant. • Cups There are no standard drinking glasses in the room—only coffee cups and plastic bathroom cups. Please provide glass tumblers for beverages. I feel there used to be some before. • Breakfast The complimentary breakfast is curry only. Since the rice is delicious, I would appreciate simple Japanese side dishes such as eggs, natto, miso soup, or pickles as well. Having curry every morning becomes tiring. These are just my comments.

Whenever I visit Kurosaki, I stay at this Accommodation. I’m not comfortable with self check-in, but they kindly guided me through it. The amenities are well stocked, and I’d like to stay here again next time.

We traveled by car, but the hotel was very close to Yahata Station and also conveniently accessible by public transportation. Breakfast was a buffet with a wide variety of options, and everything was delicious.

When I put a half-finished plastic bottle in the refrigerator, it was interesting to find that about half of it had frozen by the next day. After that, it still froze even when I set the power to the lowest level (though it’s hard for me to see clearly due to presbyopia). Since I usually sleep with three pillows stacked, I asked to borrow an extra pillow. They had a two-tier pillow available, and when I stacked my original pillow on top of it, it became the same height as what I use at home, so I slept very well. It was a clean Hotel, and I had no complaints about the Room size or Facility amenities. The front desk service was also satisfactory. If I had to mention anything, it was a bit disappointing that the scrambled eggs at breakfast were too soft and hard to pick up with chopsticks, and that there were no cotton swabs among the amenities.

I stayed for several nights to take a national exam. As the title says, it’s reasonably priced, so you can use it casually without worry. Breakfast is provided as a complimentary service, and dinner and the all-you-can-drink option are also available at a low price. On the last night of the exam, I was tired, so I ate and had drinks at the hotel. I hope others will feel free to stay here as well. Also, parking is currently free!!

I stayed for two nights. The exterior is not what you would call a beautiful Hotel, but the rooms have been renovated and were very comfortable. One disappointing point was that I had breakfast on both mornings, but the buffet selection hardly changed. Still, everything tasted good with no misses, which is why I wished I could have tried more variety and rated it down slightly. The coin laundry and ice machine were also much appreciated.
