YOUR ROOM 熊本駅

Very new and clean room, had plenty of space for 4 people. It was also in a great location and had parking available

There are no elevators onto the second floor, we had to carry our suitcases up the stairs to get into the room. Also the stairs inside the apartment are a bit narrow and upper ceiling is bit low (need to watch your head when getting up)

Modern, efficient apartment. Very clean with everything you need. Easy to find and convenient to train station. (Make sure you go to the correct location. This is not the “little one” listed on google maps.) Would be difficult for elderly (lots of steep stairs) and very young or impulsive children (loft sleeping area). Also wouldn’t plan on doing lots of cooking.

Having access to kitchen, laundry and self contained living for the three night stay was a plus. After 2 months travelling in Japan, this was a good feature, versus what you get in a hotel stay. Dislikes - the building has been constructed with cavity walls and no sound proofing whatsoever, probably for the building costs to be minimised. It’s reflected in hearing noise from adjacent ( or beneath ) apartments. We had two nights in succession when adjacent or lower apartments made a lot of noise after 12am midnight, and so there’s no point is using the ‘company chat’ method they ask for as its only active to midnight. There’s please be quiet signs at front, maybe people don’t read that? My partner went to explore the house on our last night, and it was a group of people in a large people mover (speaking to them kindly, they eased back on the noise, as most people are trying to sleep at midnight). I’d say it’s a fault of the building, not the staff, but still, it’s definitely not like a concrete building, as most hotels are. Ear plugs are at front entrance for a reason!

Modern, spacious and comfortable. The washing machine and drying room were most handy.

Noise travels between the rooms very easily. I could hear the sound of coughing from the neighbours. On the first night our neighbour below us made a noise complaint about our footsteps being too noisy, but we didn’t feel we were behaving noisily. That cast a bad vibe for our stay for the rest of the stay while we snuck around our room like ninjas. There are signs all over the room about keeping the noise down and earplugs are supplied, which indicate that the property has particularly poor noise insulation. A significant downside to an otherwise excellent property.

Convenient location near the main train station but far enough from the noise. Very comfortable space for 3 of us. Comes with 1 free parking lot as well!

Nothing!

Great location , close to Kumamoto Station, easy access to shopping mall, great restaurants. Great that the management implementing new parking system which provide convenience for guess that travel with car.

Poor sound proof where you can hear guess who stay at 2nd floor moving around, washing machine operating sound. Opportunity to improve for better rest quality.
