Chikugo River Bousai Institution

This hotel boasts a prime location near transportation, attractions and eateries. The rooms are a good size, and you'll find free coffee in the lobby and complimentary amenities if you forget something.

Unmanned hotel! I don’t remember reading this on the Expedia website or reviews. Thank goodness I looked at other websites and that’s when I found out. Check in is virtual…you need a code to enter building then need a hotel reservation code…the other websites said we would get an email which I didn’t so I reached out to the hotel and that’s when I got my information written in Japanese (which I am unable to read). The hotel room was extremely cold on the first night even with the heater on. It was nice having a washer dryer. We used the dryer to dry our bath towels as the room was too cold for them to dry on their own. Big refrigerator with a freezer was nice. Room size was decent and fairly clean. Easy walk to the train station…about 7 minutes. Family Mart at the end of the block.

Perfect place to stay at, <5mins walk from Hakata station. Clean room, helpful front desk, nice and quiet place. Oh and very close to the airport, a 15min JPY1800 taxi ride will get you there
