Staff with good service, clean room with a great view of the castle. Very convenient location as it is within a mall. Parking is in the multistorey opposite which made loading unloading of suitcases difficult. Breakfast spread was very average, not a lot of choices.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed was a little uncomfortable as the sheet didn't cover the whole mattress and so kept rising and bunching during the night, exposing the mattress protector. The hotel is also very poorly sign posted from the entrance of the shopping mall
The Koko Hotel was our favorite place to stay in Japan. The room was styled nicely and clean. It was the perfect location in Kumamoto - shopping and food were in the complex downstairs. Kumamoto Castle was a very short walk. The hotel buffett was amazing and reasonably priced.
KOKO Hotel is conveniently located in a shopping and convention center, close to the castle and downtown areas. The room was very well equipped and large for Japanese standards. Staff very kind and helpful. I happily recommend the place.

Nice hotel, excellent location. The room was quite small although the bed was nice and big. There was not enough room to hang my clothes and keep my toiletries handy.
This hotel was a tram ride from JR Kumamoto station and located inside the Sakuramachi shopping mall. Fairly new, but very clean and generous with provision of amenities. Room was small though but has a nice view of the castle.
We had a nice stay at Koko hotel. The hotel is conveniently located to transit access and on top of a mall. Walking distance to the castle. Lots of food options and shopping. The room was spacious and quiet. We did not spend much time in the room as we used Kumamoto as a home base for day trips. We would stay here again and recommend to others
