Miyako Hotel Hakata

Because the hotel is directly connected to the station, you can take the elevator about a 30-second walk from the subway ticket gates and reach the front desk right away. It was extremely hot that day, so this location was truly appreciated. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options, all delicious—I was very satisfied. The large public bath was well maintained and comfortable. If I come to Hakata again, I would definitely like to stay here.

Despite its extremely convenient location right in front of Hakata Station, the Hotel features an outdoor Onsen pool on a high floor, allowing you to fully enjoy a resort-like atmosphere. There is also an adults-only night pool time, and bar time by the illuminated poolside while taking in Hakata’s night views is pure bliss. Breakfast offers a buffet focused on local specialties, and the Hotel feels comfortable without being overwhelmingly large. At breakfast, I appreciated that the staff at the restaurant entrance politely asked a group of young women who arrived in slippers and loungewear to change into proper attire. Another plus is that the Room has a large full-length mirror. For the past few years, this has been my go-to Hotel whenever I visit Hakata.
