&and COMFY HOTEL Kumamoto Jo View

Most spacious rooms we’ve stayed at in Japan (Fukuoka-Kumamoto areas) for the same or lower price. In the regular double room (non-castle view) you can keep 2 large luggage bags open at the same time with no trouble. Great view of Kumamoto castle with access to a viewing deck. Great location close enough to Kamitori and shimotori arcades and surrounding iyakayas for shopping and dining but without being too busy. Close to Kumamoto castle too but suggest looking for the village entrance when visiting rather than entering through north gate as it is quite steep/hilly (unless you want a different route/view) to get there. Staff were so attentive and helped us ship our bags to our next destination and book a taxi for transfer to Kumamoto station. They also attended to the rooms regularly. The hotel provides cute pajamas and guides made by students, as well as an assortment of printed local guides at the lobby. No parking but you are able to get dropped off or picked up if hiring a car service. Coin laundry, ice machine, microwave vendo available. Their bottled water is cheaper than other vendos but tap water is also potable. Complimentary beverage dispenser (1 per day).

Convenient location - close to transportation and points of interest. Rooftop terrace was great. Besides 5 clothing hangers, the room had additional hooks on the wall. The information on the TV can show you which washers/dryers are free or in use, and even tells you how long (minutes) they've been in use so you can set your expectations!

This was the best hotel on our trip to Kyushu. We wish we could've stayed longer in Kumamoto. The hotel was fairly new and had a great view of the castle on the rooftop. The location was perfect; walkable to the castle and the downtown area. There's lots of newer/modern restaurants and shops in the neighborhood behind as well. The breakfast was delicious and filling. The best part was the pajamas. They were super comfortable and stylish. They even sell them to support local school children who designed them. The staff was also great and very easy to communicate with.

A small but cozy hotel in the immediate vicinity of Kumamoto Castle. We had a room with a view of the castle. Check-in and check-out are perfect, the breakfast is simple but nothing to complain about, the location is perfect. And there is also a great rooftop area, you can grab a coffee or beer and admire the view. There are no complaints about the condition of the rooms and the work of the staff - everything is at the highest level. For a three-star hotel, this is simply an excellent choice.

Everything went very well before (prompt communication) and during my stay. The single room I got was the biggest one I had during this trip to Japan. The castle view (I had specifically asked for it) was unique as well as the roof terrace from which one can enjoy an amazing view. The bed was comfortable. Excellent Japanese breakfast. Very polite and professional staff. Great value for money. Thank you!
