Fukuoka hotels near Canal City Hakata

Pros: This hotel has a wonderful location near shopping, restaurants and local attractions. Public transportation is nearby. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The met every request I had in terms of finding local attractions. The rooms are clean, quiet and modern.

Pros: Great entertainment area with food and shopping at you doorstep.

Pros: Great service from the staff even though they barely speak English. At least they try. The onsen is fabulous!

Pros: Close to canal city it is a good place to stay to visit hakata by foot.

Cons: Lack of choices for breakfast

Pros: Hotel's location is excellent. This is the reason why I stayed at this hotel. The breakfast buffet was also quite tasty with good selection of both Japanese and western cuisine.

Cons: It was my third time staying at this hotel. This time however, the staff were not friendly at all and the room I stayed was old and smelly. Internet connection was horrible. The signal keeps get disconnected every minute or so. I informed this to one of the staff at the lobby, but the issue was never resolved.

Pros: The hotel is very centrally located to shopping, restaurants and bars as well as the subway line and buses. The staff were friendly enough and the breakfast is good.

Cons: I arrived with an early morning flight after flying all night and arrived at the hotel by 10am. I was advised that official check in wasn't until 2pm and I would have to wait until this time. I found this somewhat strange considering most North American hotels will allow you to check in if they have a room ready. Even if they didn't immediately have a room ready, they usually make an effort to get you into a room as soon as one is cleaned and ready. I sat patiently in the lobby for the next two hours and then made another attempt at noon to see if any rooms had been cleaned and were ready to be moved into. The front desk's English was very poor so it was difficult to communicate but they again told me that check in wasn't until 2pm. I tried to reason with them that surely some of the rooms must have been cleaned by this point and but was told again that check in would only take place at 2pm. I was told that if I wanted to check in earlier, I would need to pay 3500 Yen for the "overtime". I couldn't quite understand what overtime would be involved since they had to clean my room regardless -- it was just a case of what order they were going to clean it compared to other rooms. I refused to pay this fee and returned to sit on the sofa in the lobby for another two hours. Finally at 2pm I was permitted to check in. I got up to my room only to discover that it was a smoking room (yes, there is still such a thing!). I called down to the desk and explained that I had been assigned a smoking room but wasn't a smoker (interestingly, the kayak site that I booked the hotel on didn't ask for a smoking preference). I was told that there were no non-smoking rooms available (despite me presumably being the first person to check in today!) and that they would send someone up to get rid of the smoke smell. Unfortunately we know how that goes... they attempted to get the smoke smell out but it didn't make much difference. Even thought I was only there for one night, my clothes and luggage still came away smelling like smoke. Hardly an enjoyable experience for the price paid!

Pros: The room was contemporary and clean. The best thing about this hotel is the location right near a subway station and across the canal from two parks and the symphony hall building, which is a great attraction alone because of its green-covered pyramid that you can climb. In the evening, several yatai food stalls set up down the street. It's a great Japanese summer pastime to stroll the canal and get some yakitori. Great location for that.

Cons: It seems slightly overpriced but not extreme.

Pros: Location

Cons: Only Japanese breakfast, more options needed

Pros: Nice hotel, very close to the tenjin restaurant and shopping areas. Bed and room were small, but had everything you needed.

Cons: Quite small rooms - not much room left to open your luggage we found. Hotel staff speak very little English which can make it hard if you don't speak Japanese. Most of the taxi drivers don't either so grab one of their cards to hand the taxi driver. One little quirk I discovered - their airconditioning unit only does either heating (winter months) or cooling (summer months) - so if its a hot day in winter you can't turn on the aircon to cool the room down - you need to open the window.

Pros: Near to most things, convinient store, restaurants, further its near tenjin station, just 5 mins walk. Good location to move around. Further, staff helpful to give information on places to go.

Pros: Location advantage is the key factor for selecting this hotel.

Cons: Size of the room is a bit small !

Pros: Perfect location, close to the station. Helpful staff.

Pros: Not considering the location;transport,resturants and twenty four hours convienent shops are within walking distance. Warmly receiving and helping staff, 24 hours open hot coffee to the inmates and secured entrance door after mid night gives comfort and safe to stay at the b hotel.

Cons: Nothing specific to mention.

Pros: Price/Quality ratio is excellent. Good design. Clean. Good situation. No tobacco smelling.
