Apartments in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan

I originally booked this hotel by mistake but was pleasantly surprised by some aspects of my stay. Tthe location was quite far from Fukuoka, where I had intended to stay for a concert. I arrived at the hotel around 11:30 AM–12 PM after an early morning flight, unaware that check-in wasn’t until 3 PM. When I approached the front desk, the receptionist—a young girl—gave me a strange look before informing me of the check-in time. The lack of warmth in her greeting was disappointing, especially compared to my experiences at other hotels in Japan. The weather on February 6, the day of my arrival, was harsh—it was very windy as it was cold, and I had to walk from Seto bus stop to the hotel with two suitcases in freezing conditions. Exhausted from my flight and journey to Munakata, I had hoped for a more welcoming atmosphere. Instead, after a brief trip to a nearby Lawson to grab food, I returned to the hotel and waited in the lobby, as it was too cold to explore. By 2 PM, fatigue took over, and I lay down on the lobby couch to rest. Despite dozing off in the cold lobby, no staff member approached me. The heating system inside the hotel was weak, and I kept waking up from the biting cold. At 2:30 PM, I heard guests checking in, which surprised me—no one had informed me that I could start checking in earlier. When I lined up at the front desk, the same receptionist from earlier recognized me but seemed to push her colleague forward to assist me, which I found rude and unprofessional for a staff member at a four-star hotel. However, her colleague was kind and attentive. Since I speak Japanese, the check-in process went smoothly. There was an error on my part regarding my booking—I had mistakenly reserved my stay until February 10 instead of February 9. I explained this at the front desk, and the staff member tried to help but apologized, as the booking was made through a third-party site and couldn’t be refunded. I understood this and simply wanted to inform them of my earlier departure. The hotel itself is old but well-maintained. I stayed in a Japanese-style room, which, despite its age, was clean and comfortable. The air-conditioning unit was quite old, but amenities were available on the first floor. The hotel seems to be popular with families or tour groups. There are a lot of Korean guests as well. Even for a business hotel, customer service toward foreign solo travelers was severly lacking. It's embarassing to think that was the kind of training they gave their employees at a four star hotel. I'm writing this review while staying at Comfort Hotel, a cheaper chain of hotel but the omotenashi I received here is on another level. There isn’t much to do nearby Mercure Munakata. The closest kaisendon restaurant was about a 30-minute walk away. Unfortunately, the weather during my stay was terrible—windy and snowy—so I didn’t explore much. There was a church (?) next to the hotel, but nothing else of note. One of the highlights of the stay was the hot spring, which had both indoor and outdoor baths. I didn’t eat at the hotel restaurant, as the prices seemed high. A free shuttle bus is available to Togo Station, but you need to inform the front desk of your preferred departure time in advance. I didn’t take many photos of the hotel itself—there wasn’t much worth capturing besides the bath, where phones aren’t allowed. Would I stay here again? No. Would I recommend this hotel? No, especially not for solo foreign travelers.

Nice customer services, with laundry is plus when travel with a little one with light packaging. The harbour view is unbeatable and close to the ferry terminal (2 minutes walk)to the morning food market.

Great location by foot to shopping/restaurant/cafe/gachapon/Subway/Tenjin underground/Donki/blue bottle cafe/ and more! Receptions staffs are helpful 👍🏼 3 famous Ramen’s restaurants - Ichiran/ShinShin inside Parco B2/久留米大石碗are just walking distance.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this well-appointed hotel. The check-in process was seamless, thanks to the courteous and efficient staff. The lobby immediately impressed us with its sophisticated, contemporary design. Our room was generously sized, and the bathroom was particularly noteworthy, featuring dual sinks—an excellent convenience for families. The hotel’s location proved ideal, situated within easy reach of the train station and adjacent to a convenience store. Additionally, we were fortunate to visit during cherry blossom season, allowing us to enjoy the picturesque park directly across the street, where we captured memorable photos. This hotel delivers an outstanding combination of comfort, style, and convenience. Without hesitation, I recommend it for both leisure travelers and families. We look forward to returning.

Very good size room (for a Japanese hotel), large desk to work from. Very good facilities overall (Nespresso machine, kettle, fast internet). Not fond of the lobby on the 19th floor which means you need to go all the way there to get to your room.

I recently stayed at the Blossom Hakata Premier, a brand-new hotel in Hakata-ku, and its location is hard to beat. Being so close to the JR train station made getting around Fukuoka a breeze, and I loved how easy it was to walk to nearby spots like the Nakasu District, JR Hakata City Amu Plaza Hakata, and Canal City shopping mall. The convenience really stood out. The hotel itself is modern and clean, reflecting its newness, but some of the facilities—like the onsen and fitness center—felt a bit small and underwhelming. They’re nice to have, but don’t expect anything too spacious or luxurious. As for breakfast, I’d skip it. There are so many great dining options around the hotel that it’s worth exploring those instead. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you prioritize location and a fresh, modern stay—just don’t come expecting standout amenities.

Location was great, very close to eateries, close to subway and also train and bus station to outskirts of Fukuoka. Parco, muna, and other department store are also nearby. Room was OK, manageable for 2 with 2 large suitcases. TV channels are all in Japanese, but u don't watch TV on holiday anyway. Bathroom and amenities were great, they provide free amenities in the lobby. Lounge were nice, though only coffee is provided, but it's good to just sit and sip coffee. The view from my room was Ritz Carlton, so u feel like staying there.. 😝😝

The service is excellent. I needed help with some food that needed to be frozen and the team was very helpful. Kudos to the entire Grand Hyatt team. Breakfast was also good. Rooms are a bit dated but location and service made up for it !

Extremely clean hotel. The shower is very comfortable! Staff is friendly. We had a dinner course at the hotel restaurant. It's very quality and of great value. The only disadvantage is that there's no on-site parking. You could get a coupon to park in a nearby car park for 1500JPY per night. But it's a 5-min walk from the hotel and it's quite tough to walk outdoor in the winter. The public bath room is very clean and comfortable.

Room size is comparatively bigger than other hotels in Japan and it's just 4 mins walk to 中洲川端駅 , convenient location and 24 hours open ramen yasan is nearby that you can go to eat any time you want. Highly recommended !
