Very Good

It’s a hotel with a large Japanese-style bath, allowing both business travelers and tourists to relax in comfort. The breakfast is also very hearty, making it a great choice for business stays as well.
Close to Shinkansen and tram station. Some dining there. Staff friendly and helpful. Decent breakfast both western and Japanese. Could hear some traffic in the room. Good size room comfortable.
This place was a 10 from us. Spacious room.Newly renovated. Breakfast and hot bath are free. Breakfast was Japanese and Western. It was delicious. Ample onsite parking. Fast internet. Just opposite JR Kumamoto station.
It is near the train station and trams stop. Good breakfast spread. Providing toothpaste pack without toothbrush pack will be more ideal. Tv seems to off by itself in the nights.
The heating/ac unit was right above my head and made enough noise where I couldn't sleep. I advised a gentleman at the front desk and the next day he said someone checked and there was no noise. Long story short I ended up booking another nearby hotel and left 3 nights before due, even though I had already paid. There was no attempt to offer another room or offer any compensation. The windows are single pane and the wind made them rattle. The hotel is dated and room was dusty, especially the heater and window area. I gave it a two out of consideration
This is an older hotel, traditionally run. You will interact with human beings checking in, checking out, etc.
Western breakfast is mini ( very mini) omelets, French fries, decent coffee and weak orange juice.
You’ll have to pay to watch western content on TV.
Our room was spacious by Japanese standard, but the bathroom was cramped.
