Close to shopping and restaurants and vibrant night life. Parking is reasonably priced and convenient. Hotel slightly run down and breakfast was only ok. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great stay overall.

Comfort Hotel Kumamoto Shinshigai
Toilet is too tiny to fit one person if you’re a little bit big. Check out time is 10am, while the other comparable hotels I stay in Kumamoto is 11am.
