Hotels With Wifi in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan

The hotel's location is a bit of a walk from the Kumamoto A-Line tram station, about 5 minutes with luggage. The main issue is that the path isn't very pedestrian-friendly; you have to watch out for cars, though it's still only a 5-minute walk. The lobby has a nice ambiance with pleasant scents and Kumamon merchandise everywhere. However, the area around the hotel isn't very convenient, with the closest convenience store also about a 5-minute walk away. The room itself was decent, with enough space to open a 28-inch suitcase. The bathroom, however, seemed quite old. There are only three shared washing machines in the hotel, which are often in high demand, and it costs 600 yen for a 2-hour cycle. Overall, it met the stable and reliable expectations of a chain hotel. Drinking water was provided. In summary, if you don't want to stay in Fukuoka (expensive) and are choosing between Kumamoto and Kagoshima for a longer stay, I stayed in Kumamoto for 3 nights this time. One day was spent at Aso Kusasenri and Takachiho, another day dolphin watching, which left the remaining time feeling a bit dull. I'd suggest staying longer in Kagoshima instead; the hotels near Kagoshima Station seem cheaper, of better quality, and the surrounding area is more vibrant.

Compared to hotels in Tokyo and Fukuoka at the same price point, The Blossom Kumamoto offers excellent value for money! First off, the location is incredibly convenient, right next to Kumamoto Station's exit. We used it as our base for five nights, visiting Kagoshima, Kurokawa Onsen, Mount Aso, Amakusa, and Tanushimaru Station, making our 7-day JR Pass absolutely worth it! Secondly, it's right next to Amu Plaza, where we had many of our meals. The 6th and 7th floors have restaurant dining options, including Seireitei and wagyu beef. The first floor, near the Higo Market, offers horse sashimi, ramen, sushi, and more – super convenient. Finally, regarding the hotel itself, the room type we booked was quite spacious and quiet, and the facilities are relatively new. The only downside is no in-room bathtub (though there's a public onsen, which can get a bit crowded). One minor annoyance is that, apart from deep cleaning days, they don't even make the bed, haha. They only empty the trash and restock supplies. However, the staff are all very nice, friendly, and professional. Overall, highly recommended.

Strategic location right at the Shinshigai Shopping Street where you can literally get anything you need from food to shopping. It is also near the Kumamoto Castle within 10-20mins walking distance. This hotel chain has lived up to its expectations, clean, fully equipped with amenities and spacious room. We've been staying at this hotel chain in Osaka, Hiroshima and now Kumamoto. Highly recommended hotel for those who are visiting Kumamoto!

A great value stay! The staff were friendly and helpful. The washing machine facilities were easy to use and managed to find an available machine most times. We stayed for 3 nights and each day bins were emptied and fresh towels given. The extra space under the bed for suitcases is a great touch and overall the room design in excellent. There were several tour groups staying during the 3 days which made it a little too busy, especially during breakfast as these guests all went at the same time. Not a great experience for more independent travelers like us, but the staff tried very hard. Overall one of the better stays we had during our Kyushu trip.

The hotel facilities are a bit old, so if you're sensitive about hygiene, you might want to reconsider. It feels like they do a thorough cleaning, but some of the equipment is dated, and there are signs of wear and tear that can't be completely scrubbed away. Our family of three stayed here; it had three beds and a good amount of space. There's also a coin-operated laundry facility within the hotel. The best part about this hotel is definitely the breakfast – a rich variety of options and excellent value. The location is perfect for shopping, with Shimotori Shopping Street just a 3-5 minute walk away. At the entrance of the shopping street, there's an Isomaru Suisan (a chain seafood restaurant) that serves fantastic eel rice. You can order a whole eel and add rice separately for more eel, or just get the regular eel rice bowl, which is a bit cheaper. Considering how great the breakfast is, this hotel offers really good value for money. I would personally recommend it.

Good if you like old school charm hotel, room and service. Castle view room was a disappointment - have to stand at the side of the window to actually see the castle :( Location was great and parking was onsite. There’s a driveway at the front of the hotel and from there, the staff guided us to their onsite parking. It’s as advertised JPY1000 per day but on day of checkout, parking is until 11.30am. After that, cheaper to park elsewhere (JPY100 for 15mins vs JPY200 for 2hrs at Kumamoto Castle).

The hotel just opened in August this year, the well-known chain hotel, every time I come to Japan, I find a way to live once. I feel good to take off my shoes and enter the hotel. The open-air bathing pool is a bit small. The room is too new and can also detect a little decoration. The taste, overall is still very satisfactory!

Cons: Even though I was prepared for it, I still have to say the room was tiny when I opened the door. I booked a double bed for my parents, and the layout was actually different from my twin room, even smaller. Pros: Super cheap! The shower was great. Despite being on a main street, it was very quiet. The location is excellent, right below a pedestrian shopping street, and there's a 7-Eleven and Isomaru Suisan nearby. Just one street over, there are many yakitori and yakiniku restaurants, and Katsuretsu Tei is right next door. I didn't have breakfast at the hotel, but I found a Sukiya nearby that served breakfast – literally beef bowls first thing in the morning! Overall, a great hotel with excellent value for money, worth staying at.

This hotel is located on the left side when you exit Kumamoto Station, so the location is excellent. It's a newly opened hotel, and the lobby smells incredibly fragrant and pleasant. The room and bathroom are quite spacious for Japan, and there's a sofa which is very convenient for putting things on. The streetcar right outside the door makes it easy to get to Kumamoto Castle and other attractions. The only downside is that there's no hot spring bath. I'd definitely stay here again next time I visit.

This hotel completely eliminated my travel anxiety! The airport shuttle bus drops you off right downstairs, so I didn't have to lug my luggage an extra step – super convenient for tourists. There's a shopping mall right below, so I could grab food whenever I wanted, and a supermarket made it easy to pick up snacks and drinks for the room. Kumamoto Castle and Suizenji Jojuen Garden are both within walking distance, and right across the street is the Shimotori Shopping Street, a central arcade district in Kumamoto with pharmacies, clothing stores, and dessert shops galore. It was so easy and pleasant to shop and eat, and perfect for finding souvenirs. The hotel room was spacious and clean, and the bedding was soft and comfortable, guaranteeing a good night's sleep after a long day. The breakfast had a great variety of both Japanese and Western options, with fresh ingredients and delicious flavors. Overall, it's excellent value for money. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Kumamoto!
