สถานีนิชิคุมาโมโตะ × มีคะแนนอาหารสูงโรงแรม·เรียวกัง

On June 8, my spouse and I met friends from Kumamoto and had a great time eating and drinking together. They upgraded our Room to a higher grade, and my sauna-loving husband was very satisfied. We will definitely stay again. Thank you for your hospitality.

A well-balanced breakfast gave me the energy to head to work, and the large bath helped me unwind after a long day. Despite the clean Room and convenient location, the price is reasonable. There are no excessive amenities, but all necessary services are well provided, making my business trip comfortable. They also handled taxi arrangements with great care, and I felt it was a Hotel where I could stay with peace of mind. I was also satisfied with the user-friendly in-Room features such as a TV that shows how crowded the dining area and large public bath are, as well as an air purifier.

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.

I visited Kumamoto with my mother for the first time in over ten years to attend a concert. Although our stay was limited to one night and two days, thanks to the Hotel’s calm atmosphere and the thoughtful care of all the staff, we were able to spend a relaxing and comfortable time. My mother was also very pleased, and I truly feel glad we were able to stay here. I understand that full recovery from the recent earthquake may still take time, but in my own small way, I hope that visiting Kumamoto can be of some help. I sincerely wish for a swift recovery. If I have another opportunity to visit Kumamoto, I would love to stay at this Hotel again. Thank you very much for your warm hospitality.

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.

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

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

This was my first time staying here, and it was very clean—I was very satisfied. If I come to Kumamoto again and there is availability, I will make a Reservation without hesitation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Although the building is quite old, the reasonable pricing, convenient location, large public bath, and services such as welcome drinks and late-night ochazuke make this a favorite Hotel of mine, and I stay here again and again. Even though I live in the same prefecture, I stay almost every week on my days off as a short getaway. I look forward to staying with you again.

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.

I stayed here because it was close to my business destination. It was very clean and comfortable. The large public bath was not crowded, so I could relax and enjoy it. The microbubble bath kept me warm. The Room was spacious for the price, and I had a relaxing stay overall. However, the pillow was firm and high, so I would appreciate having a softer, lower pillow option as well.

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.

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.

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.

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.
