It’s a one minute walk round the corner from a huge covered shopping arcade. Lots of food options. The whole check in and check out process was easy. The staff helpfully kept our luggage when we arrived in the morning. The room was very well designed with everything we needed. The breakfast buffet was nice, a mix of Japanese and western breakfast. They included some local dishes which was a nice touch.

This place is located at somewhat the end of a shopping street so its quieter yet convenient. The hotel provides the most extensive range of toiletries in the hotel lobby. Breakfast is very good!
It was great friendly staff with a breakfast buffet in the mornings. It is 1500 yen for the breakfast buffet which has local cuisine. The only downside i would say is if you need to do laundry it can get really expensive
It was good. The room was spacious and the service we got from the staff pre and at check-in are flawless.
It can be a bit of a challenge to get to the hotel from JR Kumamoto station with luggage as the tram is always full of people the station.
But I really like the fact that it's close to the shotengai area and there are a lot of shops, restaurants and game centres around.
