THE HOTELS HAKATA Harushige SHINKAN

Superb! The reception was awesome and the staff really professional and kind. The room exceeded our expectations. Hotel is actually quite small in terms of rooms but we appreciate it because it was calm. Breakfast was made on spot by the cooking staff, really pretty and delicious food.

The staff is excellent, super helpful, they get the room cleaned up, towels, toothbrushea etc. were replaced everyday, which may sound obvious, but I did experience in Japan that in some hotels for stay over 5/7 days only housekeeping is provided. The location is pretty cool, you are close to Tenjin and have access to all the shopping districts and yummy food. The canal city is also walkable, if you enjoy evening walks , it's amazing. The Subway is 4-5 mins away and you can reach Hakata station , which is two stops away, alternatively if you enjoy walking like us, you can walk to Hakata Station (15-17 mins).

The rooms are a little small which is expected in Japan. It will feel cramped if you are traveling with a lot of luggage else it should be alright .

The staff were incredibly helpful in any questions we had about things we needed to do in Fukuoka. The hotel was clean, accessible, comfortable and the room was well appointed.

Although the staff went out of their way to make breakfast a good one for me as I am vegetarian, breakfast was really geared to Japanese, not international guests.
