3-Star Hotels in Kumamoto City

I was a bit skeptical about all the comments mentioning it was like a Miyazaki castle and magical etc because the pictures didn't really showed that. But it is because photos don't truly show it .. but the atmosphere exists! Miki's place is full of details, it's art, but not only, it's sharp, it's cute, fun, sometimes critical, it makes you wonder, wander, think, want to touch and explore. There's music, there's vintage technological, there's hidden corners. The single rooms are the most searched for. But the dorms reeeeaallly need a chance. I stayed in a small dorm with only two beds. With an incredibly comfy sofa and an aquarium with a doll lucky fish surrounded by prosperity ”diamonds ”. At the entrance also there was a samurai suit, guarding my sleep. The windows have paper coverings with Sakura patterns. The water pressure in the shower is so good that I thought I was in a waterfall! The other dorm is bigger with two super comfy swinging chairs. One whole day I just stayed in. And was soo good! So I recommend to come with time to enjoy and give the necessary attention and care it deserves.

This hotel is perfectly located directly opposite Kumamoto Station, just a short walk across the road. The check-in instructions were very detailed, including information in Chinese on how to use the password lock, the onsen (hot spring), and details about drinks and breakfast. I really appreciated the wide selection of pillows and the variety of skincare products offered, including body lotion! It was a lifesaver as I hadn't packed any hand cream or body lotion. The breakfast, featuring both Japanese and Western options, wasn't vast but was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. The room size was typical for a Japanese hotel, and the soundproofing was excellent; I usually struggle to sleep well, but I had a fantastic night's rest here! The onsen was also a great bonus—perfect for soaking after a day of sightseeing. They even offer evening drinks and a 'goodnight tea'! The hotel management clearly put a lot of thought into traveler needs. I would definitely choose this hotel again on my next trip to Kumamoto! A perfect 10/10 travel experience.

Hotel location is just 3-5mins casual walk towards the Tram no. A direction.. The staff at lobby was exceptionally friendly & smiley. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. Amenities like toothbrush & paste, face wash, etc are readily available at lobby too. The morning breakfast was heartwarming & enough to complete a nice Jap meal. Tram A goes to Kumamoto Castle, Kamitori - the shopping area and Sakura-machi, the Bus Terminal. Convenient. No in-house onsen though.

The hotel is located very close to near to the train station with AEON Mall just across the road. The hotel also provides sufficient parking space for guests.  We appreciated the hospitality and professional services provided by the hotel staff.  For the American breakfast, it’s yummy with various drinks.  The hotel also provides free welcome drinks starting at 1600 hrs for guests.  In terms of cost effectiveness, it’s ranked highest.

It's a 5-minute walk from the airport bus stop, in an alley next to an arcade, behind a department store, and within 20 minutes of walking to the south gate of Kumamoto Castle. It's the perfect location for sightseeing in Kumamoto.

The tea cup in the room was not clean, i wish the hotel payed more attention to that. The hotel itself is very close to the station and the breakfasts are good, I've been there twice and each time the food was a little different. The staff at reception desk is very helpful

Had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Even though we have to take the tram from Kumamoto station and alight a few stops away, it is within walking distance to many shopping malls and restaurants and also near Sunroad Shinshigai and the Kumamoto Castle etc. Hotel allowed us to deposit our luggages upon arrival before check-in time. There is a coffee machine at hotel lobby which we could help ourselves to. Coin laundry and dryer room, ice machine and microwave was also conveniently located and available for use in hotel. There is cold water dispenser on every floor if I didn’t remember wrongly, which is useful as hotel doesn’t provide bottled water. The triple room we stayed in was pretty huge for Japan hotel standard. We had 3 big luggages and we could open them widely. TV is huge and we could cast videos from YouTube to watch. Room was overlooking the river. Overall a pleasant experience. Hope to be back soon!

This hotel was the best value for money on our South Kyushu trip, absolutely fantastic! 1. Traveling in the off-season meant a great price, but the quality was still guaranteed. While the room facilities might be a bit older, it didn't impact the overall experience. 2. The hotel's breakfast truly stood out. It wasn't just abundant, but also delicious. What really impressed me was how the hotel thoughtfully incorporated Kumamoto's local specialties – a very nice touch. 3. The service was also comprehensive and attentive. Even with the off-season lower prices or nearing the end of breakfast service, no details were overlooked or neglected. From these points, it's clear this hotel is genuinely thoughtful and caring. Both the location and the comfort of the stay are highly recommendable. If I visit Kumamoto again and the price is right, this will definitely be my first choice for accommodation.

Stayed at Nest Hotel Kumamoto during our trip and had a really comfortable stay. The location is very convenient, very near to the city centre with only around 10 minutes walking distance to the shopping street and nearby station. There’s also a vending machine at the lobby which is super convenient for late night drinks and snacks. Right opposite the hotel there is a big mall, so it’s easy to find food, shopping, and daily necessities. Luckily during our stay, there was also a taiwan food fair happening nearby which made the atmosphere even more lively and interesting. The room was clean, comfortable, and suitable for travelers looking for a convenient place to stay in Kumamoto. Staff check-in process was smooth as well. Overall, great location and comfortable stay. 9/10 ⭐️

Overall, a fantastic stay! I really appreciated the complimentary drinks and the spacious bathtub in the room. The service was excellent, and I'll definitely be returning for another visit. My only minor critique is that the location isn't the most convenient, but despite that, I found the overall experience to be very satisfactory.
