Harazuru Onsen

Very good location and convenient to public transport and walking distance to major shopping hotspots. The facilities are modern and stylish. However as this is an apartment hotel service is limited especially for cleaning. One merit to mention is that each room is equipped with a washing/drying machine and thus save space for extra clothes, but the minus is that the pantry doesn't have any cooking utensils (cooking knife, pots, cutting board, crockery, cutlery, dish washing liquid etc.) except an electric kettle, tea cups and spoons, and if you want to do some very basic cooking like cooking an instant noodle you have to rent a saucepan or pot or chopsticks from the reception. This was an experience different from what we jad visited other chain apart hotels. To be fair then other hotels you jave to share washing and drying facilities in public laundry.

Good area for dinner and walk around

Room was ok size but still a bit tight for us to move around. I appreciated the laundry machine in the room, which made it so much more convenient and was a super plus feature (whereas other hotels are shared laundry). The hotel is clean and the free beverages were nice. I just didn’t like the location because we had to cross the grittier part of Hakata station to get back. That food street had smoke coming from Burger King in addition to a lot of crowds before the calm. Once you get past that, it is less chaotic. The hotel is nice, overall. Area ok and close to the station.
