I used it for the first time because it has a large public bath and is close to the station.
To be honest, the building itself is a bit old, but the room is simple and not small, and the toilet and shower in the room seem to have been renovated.
I stayed here for multiple nights.
The room is cleaned once every two days, but every day, a bag containing a bath towel, face towel, green tea and coffee (these were capsule type), a 500ml plastic bottle of water, and a bag of snacks called mentaiko flavored Hakata rusks is hung on the door handle.
(Used towels for replacement were collected the next morning if left outside the door)
The large public bath has 6 washing machines (one was not in use due to a malfunction...), and the changing room has about 12 shelves instead of lockers.
The bath area is just the right size, but keep in mind that you may have to wait in line for the washing area depending on the time of day.
Once, the washing area was full and it looked like we would have to wait a long time, so we killed time by taking a lower body bath in the open-air bath.
The hot spring was the same at another hotel, but the natural hot springs around Hakata Station are a little... Maybe it contains seawater??? It has a faint smell of the sea and it irritates the eyes ← This may be my personal opinion... but...
I think it's a little hot, but it relieves fatigue.
I'm looking for a hotel with a large bath and where I can smoke at a reasonable price.
This time I got a non-smoking room, but the front desk was kind and prepared a room on the smoking side \(^o^)/
Other than that, the front desk was very friendly, so it's easy to ask questions when you use the hotel.
Both Japanese and Western style free breakfasts are prepared, and the hall staff were kind and replenished the food quickly, and the customer service was very friendly.
The accommodation fee, free breakfast service, large bath (hot spring), friendly front desk staff, and close to the station make it understandable why it fills up quickly on weekends.
Actually, I wanted to use this hotel again in July, but unfortunately, the stay overlapped with the Yamakasa festival, and it was fully booked this time, so I was unable to stay for consecutive nights...
For consecutive nights in July, I was able to stay at a hotel of the same chain, although it is a little far from the station, so I will be staying there.
It is the same chain hotel, so although it is my first time using it, I feel at ease.
I will probably stay at the hotel in front of the station when I stay in Fukuoka from now on (*^^*)
