KOKO HOTEL Premier Kumamoto

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.

This is my third stay at this accommodation. I stayed here for a conference, and the convenience of being in the same area as the venue was unparalleled. Additionally, Sakuramachi Bus Center and shopping centers are located in the same area, making it extremely convenient. The proximity to both downtown and Kumamoto Castle made it an excellent location for sightseeing and dining. The room was clean with a great view, and the breakfast venue was bright. While the breakfast selection wasn't extensive, each dish was carefully prepared and satisfying. The staff were also very accommodating. I would definitely choose this accommodation again when visiting Kumamoto!
