Hotels near Kitakyushu Media Dome in Kitakyushu City

Excellent value for money! Fukuoka was too expensive on Saturday, and we were planning to go to Karato Market anyway, so we decided to stay here for a night. It saved us ¥1000 on accommodation! In the evening, we went up Mount Sarakura to see the night view. Shin-Shin Ramen was also on our must-try list. It seems to be super popular in Fukuoka, but the taste was just okay. Definitely recommend this hotel for staying in Kokura!

We stayed at the hotel for the first time and booked a sea-view room. The room initially assigned to us faced the sea, but due to a large building platform blocking the view, we were completely unable to see the ocean. Therefore, we returned to the lobby to request a room change. Our service was provided by a young lobby staff member, Mr. Io Choka, who was extremely courteous and professional. After checking the availability, he informed us that another room could not be prepared immediately, and he promptly contacted his supervisor. Following their communication, the hotel prepared another sea-view room for us within approximately 15 minutes. During the waiting period, he updated us on the progress every 5 minutes. Both my husband is and I felt his professionalism and attentiveness to our needs. Afterwards, Mr. Io Choka also carefully assisted us by carrying our luggage to the new room and ensured that we were satisfied before leaving.We sincerely appreciate Mr. Io Choka and his supervisor for arranging such a wonderful room for us. Staff like him make guests feel truly secure and comfortable, which is indeed rare. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude once again to Mr. Io Choka and his supervisor for their outstanding service. Besides, the room are excellent and many travellers stay in the hotel restaurant to enjoy the dinner. I guess the food there must be good. I am forward to returning again. 私たちは香港出身です。

I loved this hotel when I first saw it, it’s exactly like it’s advertised, there is a whole shelves of comics in the lobby and you can bring them to your room and read ! The breakfast is also very thoughtful and delicious! I booked this place because I want to visit Mojiko and Shimonoseki, not to mention personally I think Kokura has better shopping experience than Hakata, with lesser tourists and you can get the items that are always out of stock in other big city! One negative side during Friday night there are a lot of drunk people walking like zombie around the station 😸 and I got slightly lost to get back to the hotel at night, the front desk staff is helpful and friendly.

Location is walkable from the JR station, surrounding malls and tourist spots, while not being in the centre of it all, making it a quiet and comfortable stay. There are many buses nearby so taking the bus instead of train was a good option to have. Walking distance can also be reduced sometimes via taking the bus. At the same time, the airport bus is at the JR station, so it was very convenient. The hotel while a little dated, is well maintained with floors segregated by non-smoking and smoking. Luggage deposit before and after is also available and the staff are very helpful with that. The bedside console comes with an alarm clock and even a music player where ambience music can be played - it is a very nice touch to have!!

This hotel locates near by the Kokura train station makes it one of the most convenient hotel I have ever lived. Unfortunately I could only reserve a smoking room, but the smell was not too strong to clear out by some splash. I would suggest the manager to inform smoking customers not to smoke in the bathroom, in order to avoid the smoke on the shower curtain. And the services are pretty good provided by kind stuff with multiple language skills. There is even a snack and drink corner 24 hours on first floor. The only deficit of this hotel might be the sound proof of the top floor, 6th floor I lived. The sound could not penetrate through rooms, but there were multiple huge machines on the top of the room running through day and night and generated big noises. During the last night I lived, one of the noises was similar with the sound of unlocking the door, so I couldn' t sleep well because I felt like somebody was unlocking the door.

Fukuoka was too expensive for a weekend trip, so we booked in Kokura instead. It's a self-service apartment. Pre-registering online definitely saved a lot of time during check-in. The room wasn't particularly clean. Maybe it's not having white walls, but the interior colors felt a bit depressing. There were water stains on the coffee table. It was fine for a layover stay, I guess. Overall, the price was the main selling point.

The hotel appeared exactly as described. No major surprises. Contactless check-in process so ensure that you have filled out the information of all the visitors beforehand via the link procidws. They will verify each guest individually when you physically check-in. English speaking customer service is available. Do note that there is no separate dryer. Washing machine comes with a drying function but does not dry the clothes completely. Major attractions are a walking distance away. Paid parking available away from accommodation. Costs 300 to 400yen for overnight parking. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

The Hotel is located very close to the Wakamatsu Railway station. The area around the hotel is a very quiet area with few shops around. I arrived the hotel at around 2200 and by then all the shops around was closed. I managed to find a family mart near the station and for dinner i went to Sukiya which I understand is open till 3 AM. The staff was very courteous and the checking in process was seamless. The rooms were small and very similar to other Japanese hotel rooms. The bedding was clean and neat and the linens were nicely tucked in. Since the air conditioning units remote was in Japanese language , had bit of a trouble in getting the AC started. However this was immediately resolved by the staff at the front desk and the AC cooling was very good. The toilet was small and was similar to other Japanese hotels. The supplies in the toilet was nice and adequate. The Morning breakfast spread was nice with western and Japanese cuisine and the food quality and taste was very good. I will definitely recommend Route Inn to all business travelers travelling to Wakamatsu / Hibiki Nada Area

The room is very spacious and within walking distance to delicious grilled curry. However, I could not enter the hotel without receiving an email when checking in. It is recommended that travelers who plan to check in must confirm the password again and again. The password of the trip.com reminder check-in email is incorrect

Though location is a little far but the free shuttle bus to and fro Orio station made is super convenient for an onsen retreat. There's a direct bus from Kitakyushu Airport to Orio station too, which makes it even better. Thankfully, the staff kindly took note of the shuttle reservation request made during booking, otherwise, it would have been very inconvenient to contact them and expensive to get to the resort by other means. They left a note to check the official website for pick-up point but there was no specific information - something that can be improved. The location was found to be BEHIND Maxvalue Shop (see first few photos). The resort is visited by mainly locals so it was helpful to see and ask them for confirmation. Facilities might a bit old but generally clean so it was okay. The room is nice and comfortable, particularly the view. It was very nice to see the hotel using reusable wares with even a refillable jug to get water from a machine at the shared space. Both sides of the natural onsen is switched between male and female everyday. Supper tantan noodles is great! Breakfast is not bad with both fusion western style and traditional Japanese options. It was a very nice and relaxing time!
