Strandhotels in Kitakyushu

The 1st room allocated to us had a bad stench which smelled like sewage, so we immediately went back down to the reception desk and inform about the stench and requested for a room change which the staff quickly obliged. The 2nd room was okay without any noticeable stench. The manager also promptly went to the 1st room to check on the stench we reported. Compared to the other hotels we stayed in, this particular hotel had an odd smell, somewhat like stale air mixed in with old carpet smell and old heating system smell which was noticeable along the hallway leading to the rooms. The not so fresh air could be due to poor ventilation system or age of the building. The hotel is very huge with lots of rooms so requires one to walk quite a fair bit especially if your rooms are not located near the lift lobby. Coin laundromat was not easy to locate for the 1st time as it was located very far down the corridor from the lift lobby and had only a tiny black signage which was hard to see in the dimly lit corridor. Hotel location was superb as it was within the JR station compound with plenty of shops around.

I went to Kitakyushu for a family trip and stayed at Rihga royal hotel Fukuoka, which is located near Kokura station, the center of Kitakyushu. First of all, the location is very good. It's close to Kokura station and there are shopping centers, downtown, shopping streets, and Kokura castle nearby. Since it's near Kokura station, it's easy to get to other areas nearby, such as Fukuoka and Moji port. The hotel is a large hotel with high floors that are very noticeable in the neighborhood and seems to be the best hotel near Kokura for banquet halls, buffets, etc. It has an overall older feel than the newer hotels these days, but in a good way, it's classic and the rooms are relatively larger than the newer hotels. Overall, the hotel is well maintained, so it is clean and comfortable. The hotel staff is also doing a good job of maintaining the characteristic Japanese friendliness and attentiveness. The in-room amenities are also good. The hotel breakfast is also excellent for the price. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit to Kitakyushu.

I went to Kitakyushu for a meeting and chose this four-star hotel. Although the hotel rooms are relatively small and the facilities are old, the environment inside and outside the hotel is great and the rooms are clean and tidy. My room is on the seventh floor. When I open the window, I can see the Japanese garden downstairs. It's a great experience. The breakfast at the hotel was also great. The hotel is very close to the subway station, vegetable market and commercial street. It only takes five or six minutes to walk, which is very convenient. The price is also relatively moderate. I hope to stay at this hotel next time I come!

２ The floor is at the front desk and you can issue two room keys with the check-in machine. When I checked in, I found out that it was a low floor on the 3rd floor, so I thought it was a game, but probably because it was New Year's Eve, the outside was relatively quiet and I could hardly hear any noise, and there is a hotel. Difference I couldn't hear any sound. Although it is a double bed, it is large, so I could sleep two people with plenty of room. It includes mineral water service. There is a drip coffee service on the front floor. The restaurant that can be seen from the street seems to be the breakfast venue. The only thing I was worried about was that the shower head was too high and too low. It was a stable Daiwa Roynet

This is pribably the best hotel in mojiko, beautiful rooms and good location. Guests for the better rooms have access to the lounge providing drinks and snacks throughout afternoon and evening. However the premier deluxe room that we booked has a split level between the toilet and the bed areas. This is unsuitable and unsafe for people with handicap and elderly couple like us. We had no choice but to ask for downgrading to a normal room. A great disappointment. However, we have to thank their staff for making an effort to relay our hearing aid which we left in the hotel in Hakata. They made sure that we received the ear piece in Kobe. We are very grateful.

I loved everything about the guest house. Our own lockers and storage were perfect, the living room was so homey it felt like a living room. People were nice and spoke Japanese as well as English. I came to japan looking for a full, immersive experience and this was the perfect place. Fun location next to markets, bars, food, close to Kokura castle and the river walk. To me, it’s a better way to experience japan instead of a hostel where everyone only speaks English, and you might forget you’re traveling in another country. I loved it, for me it was home.

I used it for sauna purposes. Although it is a business hotel, it has a large public bath and a sauna. The room was clean and I was satisfied with the amenities, so I was able to use it very comfortably. It was a little disappointing that the infinity chair was only for men and the temperature of the water bath was high. I thought it would be safe to walk on the slippery floor if you installed a glasses holder at the entrance of the sauna.

Very nice place for a good price. Staff don’t speak English but the have this instant translation app that made everything easy and smooth. Room was comfy enough even though the AC was a bit too noisy.

Hotel 1-2-3 I used it before Kokura Corona and used it again when I traveled to Kitakyushu this time. Although it is not the best hotel, there is a large family supermarket on the first floor, and the room is well managed compared with the appearance. You can choose the type you want. Bathroom supplies are Shiseido products and quality is good. Breakfast is from 7 o'clock and quite ok. However, this hotel has no crew from midnight to 7 o'clock, and the front door is locked from 12 o'clock to 7 o'clock, so you must know the password when using it. Therefore, you can't check in after midnight. Please refer to it.

As others have said, the customer service was very good! The pajamas and pillows are a system that you can bring to the room by yourself, and the pillows provided in the room were very hard (laughs). The shopping street is right in front of the station, so you can enjoy it even if you go out! I felt that the customer service made up for the age and lack of amenities. The correspondence was really good!
