As last year, I stayed in the Castle Suite with my daughter. It’s a Room that any young child will absolutely love. It features two Kumamoto Castle-themed bunk beds, a slide, plenty of toys, Kumamon figures, an oversized TV, and a hinoki cypress bath. The refrigerator was stocked with complimentary drinks—both alcoholic and non-alcoholic—so while my child played, I could relax and fully enjoy some downtime.

Spacious and clean interior facilities, but it was unfortunate that I couldn't use the Onsen. Overall, it was a satisfactory 2-night stay with no major complaints about the Hotel.

This was my first trip to Kumamoto. I was a bit worried after the earthquake, but the city itself didn’t seem much different. It was disappointing to see that part of Kumamoto Castle’s stone walls—within walking distance—had collapsed again. The hotel was convenient because it was right in front of my work venue, but due to the earthquake, many taxis were chartered by insurance companies and it was hard to hail one. However, there was a bus terminal directly across the street, so I made good use of buses. The complimentary coffee service—common at Dormy Inn—is always comfortable and appreciated. The large public bath on the top floor wasn’t very crowded and felt great. As you get older, a big bath really is nice. The Room was functional, but although the toilet seat had a washlet, only cold water came out. When I contacted the front desk they responded quickly, but afterward the warm-water light was on while only cold water still came out. On top of that, perhaps they forgot to reconnect the faucet chain during maintenance and I couldn’t operate the lever (I fixed this myself). Still, since the front desk response itself was good, I deducted one star (this might fall under Facility/amenities?). Depending on your destination and purpose of stay, I think it’s a very convenient location.

Thanks to you, we were able to start our trip in the best possible way. Thank you very much.

The building is new and located in front of Kumamoto Station, with spacious and clean rooms. The Onsen is small, but the water quality was excellent. The complimentary breakfast was delicious. There is only one elevator, so there might be a short wait, but everything else was very satisfying. The Aka-sake was delicious as well.

We stayed with four adults, and the Room was spacious so we could relax comfortably. It was thoroughly cleaned and felt very pleasant. The location is also within walking distance to Shimotori Street.

The staff are very pleasant, and I use this Hotel every time. The Room is clean, and the satisfaction level is high; I really like this Hotel. I will use it again. Thank you very much.

It is in a very convenient location near the Transportation Center. The surrounding area is a downtown entertainment district, which makes it convenient for going out for drinks, but at night it can feel quite crowded and chaotic. Women in particular may want to be cautious. As for the Hotel’s Facility, the Room is slightly spacious. The bathroom is separate from the toilet and also has a washing area, which was comfortable. However, I was a bit bothered by white limescale marks left on the black floor. Since it’s an entertainment district, I was slightly worried it might be noisy, but at least in the Room I stayed in, that wasn’t an issue. Also, having a 24-hour convenience store on the first floor is extremely convenient. Overall, I think my satisfaction level was high.

A clean Business Hotel. The twin room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was delicious, but it was compact, and restocking couldn't keep up, which was a bit disappointing.

Reliable AZ With prices rising these days, this quality at this price! 6 nights in August 3 nights in September. Always reliable, no matter when I stay at AZ. In October, I’m going to the newly opened AZ Hotel in Okayama Prefecture (as posted inside the AZ Hotel) to have breakfast. The hot weather continues—wishing all staff good health and take care of yourselves.

The building seemed a bit old, but it was well cleaned and felt very tidy and comfortable. I stayed for one night and two days. On the first day, I used the adjacent Agannasse baths. The variety of cold-water baths was great, and there was also complimentary coffee. The next morning, I used the large public bath before departure, which was also very nice. I only had the breakfast buffet, but there was a wide selection and everything was delicious.

A reasonably spacious, clean Facility with affordable rates. I would like to visit this Hotel again if given the chance.

This was my first stay at Yulax, and it was even better than I imagined. First, the cold plunge. It’s properly cold, and above all it’s deep—being fully enveloped by the water feels incredible. Hitting the MADMAX button and getting drenched with a huge rush of water from head to toe is also amazing—I could do that again and again (laugh). The sauna itself is truly relaxing, and the aufguss at “THIS IS IT” especially stayed with me. The music, heat, and performance make it feel less like a sauna and more like live entertainment. That experience alone made the trip worth it. What unexpectedly left an impression was the other guests. I got the sense many were in their 20s to 40s, and everyone had excellent manners. It felt like there are many people who love saunas and genuinely care about this place. It’s a comfortable space not only because of the Facility, but also because of the people who gather here. Including that atmosphere, I couldn’t help but feel that what the owner wanted to create—their vision—has truly taken shape. The relaxation areas are well equipped too, so you can unwind for hours after your sauna session. The food was very satisfying; in particular, the mapo tofu was generous in portion size and genuinely delicious. Even aside from eating after a sauna, it’s something I’d want to have again. The parking lot is spacious as well, which makes it easy to visit by car. Yulax wasn’t just a place to use a sauna. It’s somewhere you can step away from work and everyday worries, clear your mind, and spend time for yourself. By the time I left, even my mood felt lighter. For me, it was “a place where I can find myself again.” I definitely want to come back.

I was a bit confused about the parking, but they kindly explained it to me. There was a group staying as well, but they let us know in advance when the dining area would be busiest, which was helpful.

It was raining, but I could get here by bus from the airport without needing an umbrella. I stayed for an event at Kumamoto Castle Hall. It was very convenient since dinner and souvenir shopping could all be done at Sakura Machi. The Room was on the 11th floor, almost the same height as the observation deck, and Kumamoto Castle was right in front of me through the window. It’s also close to Kumamoto Castle—about a 5-minute straight walk from Kato Kiyomasa’s statue. The next morning the rain had stopped, so before breakfast I enjoyed a relaxing walk along the long wall with no one around. The amenities information said there was no cleansing product, but on the front desk floor there were cleansing oil, face wash, toner, and emulsion (DHC), along with other items available for self-service. The Hotel is new and clean. As others have mentioned, if you’re used to elevators that don’t sway at all, you might notice a slight sway. I also enjoyed local Kumamoto dishes at breakfast. If I have another chance, I’ll stay again. When there’s an event, I think the breakfast venue tends to get crowded with related guests/staff. Thank you very much.

Despite being during the first half of Golden Week, it was under 10,000 yen per night with a large public bath and breakfast included, and the place was clean and comfortable. There is a dedicated parking area for motorcycles, but I wonder if they use car spaces when there are many bikes. It's an ideal location for exploring around Aso by bike, so I plan to stay here again next year.

We stayed here for a golf trip! Everything was spotless.

This was my first stay, and the Room was very clean, so I had a comfortable time. The staff were also wonderful, and I think it’s a great Hotel. I didn’t add breakfast this time, but I’d like to try it next time. My car didn’t fit in the multi-story parking garage, so I used the ground-level parking lot instead. They kindly guided me to the parking area, which was very helpful. I would like to stay again.

The service was excellent with smiles. The restaurant on-site was particularly impressive, with a chef who seemed like a top-notch professional, and I truly enjoyed a delicious dinner even by myself.

I wanted a body sponge or towel to wash with. There wasn’t one in the amenities area, and I thought there might be one in the Room, but there wasn’t. Everything else was good, so it’s a shame.
