This is a well-sized Hotel with a tasteful blend of Japanese and Western styles. The space was clean and comfortable, and I slept very well. There were no items like lotion or cleansing oil at the sink in the changing area by the bath, but most guests probably bring their own, so it should be fine. If anything, I appreciated that the area around the sink was not dirty. It was also nice that I didn’t need to bring towels from my Room. The flooring in the Room was a bit tough for me because I’m sensitive to cold, but it does help keep things clean. At check-in there was a lot of information to go over, and I got a little spaced out partway through and missed responding once. After that, they explained things more concisely, and at the end they smiled and said, “Thank you for your time.” Thank you for the pleasant service.

Both the room and the lobby were very clean, and I had a comfortable stay! The front desk staff were also kind. I’d like to stay here again when I visit Kumamoto.

This was my first trip to Kumamoto, and I stayed here. What surprised me most was the front desk staff’s customer service—very polite, calm, and attentive without being pushy. It was on par with high-level Hotels in Tokyo—if anything, it felt even warmer and more comfortable. Specifically: the way they greeted us upon arrival, their thoughtfulness, and service tailored to each guest’s situation. (When we arrived in Kumamoto, it was raining heavily and we gave up sightseeing, so we reached the Hotel a bit early. Even then, they immediately brought us towels and helped us with the check-in process.) They also greeted us with smiles when we went out in the evening and in the morning. Their attentiveness at checkout as well. I truly felt they were professionals. Both the Room and the bath were completely satisfying. I would love to stay here again when I visit Kumamoto. Thank you very much.

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

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.

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.

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.

We stayed with four adults, and the room was spacious and comfortable. It was very clean and pleasant. The location is also within walking distance of Shimotori Street.

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.

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.

When I arrived at the Hotel, I tried scanning the check-in QR code at the check-in machine, but it didn’t work. The front desk staff helped me right away, and I was able to check in without any issues. When I entered the Room, I was satisfied with the space and cleanliness. The bed was large, and for a business stay the bathroom was also very good—I had a comfortable night. I could see Kumamoto Castle from my Room, which made it even better. For this price, the level of satisfaction was more than enough. It’s located in the city center, so it was convenient to go out for meals. It’s a Hotel I’d like to stay at again when I visit Kumamoto.

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.

Despite being in the city, it was surprisingly quiet and very pleasant. The toilet and bathroom are separate, allowing for a relaxing bath. The staff were attentive and quick to assist.

We stayed in a Room for four but used it with three people. It was very spacious and we could relax comfortably! We chose this place mainly for the breakfast, and it was even better than expected. I think the menu changes daily, but that day they had simmered horse meat and even ice cream in the morning—both adults and kids were very satisfied. Unfortunately, I had a stomachache and could only eat rice porridge, but seeing my family enjoy their meal made me happy. The Room was clean, and there were water dispensers on each floor, so we could drink as much water as we wanted, which was great. We would love to stay here again.

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.

I have used Route Inn Hotel many times. It was my first time in Kumamoto, but like other Route Inns, everything from the welcome coffee to the large public bath, eco-cleaning service, and breakfast buffet was of high quality. If you're looking for an affordable Business Hotel, you can't go wrong with the Route Inn Group. Of course, your experience may vary depending on other guests (such as encountering messy users or crowds), but as a hotel itself, it is very satisfying.

After the marathon, I entered the large public bath. The changing room is quite small and can get crowded with 3 or 4 people, but it was still nice to relax in the spacious bathtub. It's unfortunate that it will be closed at the end of February. The convenience store, new downtown area, and bus terminal are also nearby, making it very convenient.

Conveniently located near the downtown area and within walking distance of the castle, making it perfect for a morning stroll. While the Facility is a bit dated, they have kept their prices unchanged despite recent rises in Accommodation costs.

[Location & Access] I took the last ANA flight to Kumamoto, and it was about a 45-minute ride on the airport limousine bus. Since I could get off at a stop very close to the hotel, I arrived without any stress even with large luggage. [Room & Sleep Comfort] Not only was the room spacious, but the bathtub was also exceptionally large. I could soak deeply up to my shoulders, and it felt like a week’s fatigue just melted away. The bed was wide, and two types of large pillows (firm and soft) were provided, so I slept soundly as if I were at home. [View & Breakfast] The next morning brought clear skies, and I enjoyed a wonderful view from an upper floor. The breakfast buffet offered a great variety of both Japanese and Western dishes featuring local Kumamoto ingredients—perfect for recharging for the day ahead. [Overall] The staff’s cheerful, attentive service was excellent and made for a pleasant start to my trip. It’s a bit of a splurge, but I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to relax and unwind at leisure.

The Kumamoto earthquake struck on the second day of my business trip. The elevator stopped and I had to use the stairs, but otherwise I was able to stay as usual without feeling anxious. I could still use the large public bath, and above all, it was a huge help that the izakaya on the first floor stayed open so I could get a meal. At that time, all items had disappeared from convenience store shelves. Thank you very much.
