A typical business hotel - clean, efficient and good value. Two very minor issues - the property is located at the 'rear' side of the station, so if arriving by train, be careful to take the right exit otherwise you may end up walking around in circles to find it. Also, the check-in is via automated self-serve screen and while there is always someone to help, can be a little confusing to anyone using this system for the first time.

Good overall, very clean, convenient and reasonably priced. Only criticism is that the curtains in the room were not heavy enough to block out the morning light and the bed faced the window, so this could be an issue for people who are not early risers.

If you ignore the books in the rooms touting revisionist Korean-Japanese history (claiming Japanese colonialism was good for Korea), this is a nice hotel.

It was an acceptable hotel to stay in. It wasn’t very busy which was nice. Hotel was clean and quiet. Room was reasonable and location was close to the station. Nothing really interesting about the hotel to be honest, it’s just a resasonably priced no frills hotel.

This is a lovely little hotel very close to Kokura station. It’s proximity to ChaChaTown, Colet IM and Riverwalk make it ideal for someone looking to shop. I lived in Kitakyushu for four years and would highly recommend this hotel to anybody looking to stay there. As a bonus tip I would suggest booking separate beds even for couples as the room size greatly increases.
