Hotels Near Gouache Fukuoka in Fukuoka

We usually stay in a newer boutique hotel in Tenjin. We had to stay in Plaza Hotel Tenjin this time since our fave hotel was fully booked. We booked two rooms - a semi double non smoking room and a double smoking room (they ran out of non smoking double rooms). Location is good. The hotel is near Akasaka station and Tenjin station. A lot of good shops and restos in the area like Ippudo, Lamp Light Books Cafe, Little Napoli, Billy's, Apple, Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Levi's, Muji, and dozens more pre-owned clothing stores. Hotel is kinda dated. As expected, the rooms are small but the bathrooms are even smaller. The bed mattresses, comforters, curtains, and carpets have seen better days. But the amenities like yukata, coffee, tea, and tons of toiletries are excellent. You can expect your room to be (limited) cleaned, i.e. replace towels, bring out the trash, and vacuum the carpet, daily between 10am and 11am only. Wish that they also replace and fix the beddings daily for long-stay guests like us. Check-in and check-out procedure was a breeze. Front desk personnel (specially the Japanese lady staffers) were very helpful specially when we needed two taxis to go to the airport during rush hour. Just like other small hotels, it has a common room with an ice machine, vending machines (for drinks), microwave oven, and coin laundry. All these were very useful and convenient to have.

Booked one night in advance and stayed one more night. When I made an additional reservation by phone, I felt a little uneasy about the foreign front desk clerk. I was told that the rooms were full and I could not stay in the same room, but they gave me the same room. When we actually met, everyone was polite and sincere, and I was able to spend my time with peace of mind. It seems that there is no courier service, so I asked for it at the 7-Eleven on the first floor. It's a room without meals, but there's a 7-Eleven, so it's convenient ♪

Good hotel, good location, especially to explore the west side of the city. Castle was within walking distance. The place is clean, quiet, and functional. The room is small, it was difficult with a big luggage I suspect they don't change or clean the blanket between guests (it smelled a bit, and I couldn't see any of this in clean trolleys). Even tho there is a sheet between the body and the blanket I don't find it hygienic. Because when you sit on the bed, you sit directly on the not clean blanket. Would be best to review this.

We stayed in a family suite (2 double beds + 1 sofa bed) for 3 nights. Room is spacious for 5 of us. Well equipped with a balcony, simple cooking / 2 door fridge and washer. This is a truly no staff manned hotel: Check in - you need to deal with a machine (relatively not user-friendly) to enter all information required plus photograph your face with passport. Complicated but manageable. After that you will get a key to access Hotel lift lobby and your room. Housekeeping - nobody literally enter your room for cleaning at all. We didn't need it thus it didn't bother us. Service - no human service at all except a local telephone number. Not sure how to manage it as we didn't need it and we don't have a local phone sim card can call. Just one thing though, what if in case of emergency? Rooftop there is a communal area where you can chill out enjoying a view over Tenjin and the river. Check out - just drop your key in the box and go. Location is good, approx 5 min walk from the ”Nakasu Kawabata” station. Nearby all kinds of eateries and shopping. We would stay there again if price is right.

We stayed 3 nights in A Good Day and it’s honestly difficult to find something to complain about. As its name suggests it, the hotel is located along the Naka river, a bit south of the Nakasu island, 15 minute walk from the Hakata station. We took actually the time to walk in the neighborhood, full of small and cute shrines, gardens and cozy and cool restaurants and bars. It was actually nicer to discover this neighborhood and much more outside the common tourist areas, which was fine by us. The personal is incredibly nice, the room are clean and very practical, the breakfast is a mix between continental and Japanese. We had a great stay, highly recommendable. The only bémol for us was the powerful green light of the smoke alarm system (I think) on the bedroom’s ceiling. It was really powerful and can be annoying during the night.

Room is clean, not huge but sufficient size. Great service, as I forgot my toiletry bag in Tokyo before arriving in Fukuoka and the front desk lady was able to call the Tokyo hotel and have them locate and secure the bag for me to pick up later. Offers welcome soba (21:00-23:00) and welcome drink (15:00-23:00). Also has a a Photo Booth to take welcome photos (picture quality is not great so more for fun) and a Gacha machine to dispense welcome gifts for kids. The lobby area has a huge long desk with many seatings, as well as a nice little library.

하카다역 인근이라 접근성이 좋고 백화점 등이 많은 곳이라 생활용품, 음료수 및 음식 등을 쉽게 구입할 수 있었습니다. 종업원들은 친절했으며 요청사항에 대해서도 신속하게 응해주었습니다. 호텔시설은 평범한 수준이었으나, 욕실이 너무 좁아서 욕조에서 샤워하는데도 불편했습니다. 그리고 식당이 별도로 있는 것이 아니고, 호텔 1층에 일본식 술집(이자카야?)인 듯한 곳에서 아침식사를 했습니다. 메뉴도 뷔페식이 아니고 준비된 간단한 일본 가정식(?)이 제공되었습니다.

One of the great choice for the hotel near Hakata station. Just 10 mins walk to Hakata station or green line subway. There's minimart just across the road. Less than 5 mins walk to grocery store or amous ramen also good izakaya. Hotel is look new and very clean. No smoking smell. Hotel staff are great service and speak English. There's a free soft drinks bar at 14th floor. Also free public bath both indoor and outdoor anyway it's not big and alway crowded. For me, I don't have any problems with noise or sound from outside. In room is quiet. Due to the building is open area, you have to walk outside to the lift but just 10 sec. For me there's no problem with cold at all. Room, toilet is very clean and look new. Shower is very strong (I like it) and very hot that good for winter. Room also bigger than I thought. Bed is comfortable. Breakfast is very nice but we have to book a time schedule because many guests in a hotel. Overall I will recommend this holiday.

I visited in October 2018. It is located about ３ minutes from Hakata Station and take the subway to get off at Tangjincho Station. It is also close to Yahooku Dome and I think it is convenient for watching baseball. The room is standard impression and a bit old, but the lobby is clean and good impression. Breakfast feels a little less variety, but it is a certain extent.
