"Most important about this hotel is its location. Right there smack Hakata-Fukuoka station where subway, Shinkansen, taxis & limos, and tour buses serve.
The hotel though old is chic, and seems to be the hangout place for Japanese yuppies after work. The area is safe. It has a convenience store Lawson at the street level, just below the lobby by escalator.
I love the location. After an evening subway trip from Tenjin, or a day tour trip, when you fell moat spent & tired, you are essentially delivered there at the hotel doorstep.
The adjacent Hakata station has many food offering options, and noteworthy is the ‘Hakata Startion Ramen Street’.
Staff are friendly & accomodating. The hotel room is well kept, nice, with clean bathrooms. The lovby is inviting especially the lobby’s Cross Point - it’s cafe & pattiserie.
In my future return trip to Fukuoka, I’d be seriously considering booking here again."
