Shimonoseki hotels

Pros: Very comfortable and clean. Spacious bed by Japanese business hotel standards. Spacious room in general.

Cons: Not a great location. More importantly, cigarette smell came up from other room into my shower when I was showering. Not very nice. Terrible internet too.

Pros: The room is very comfortable. They are very detail in taking care of what a traveler needs in a hotel room.

Cons: Breakfast and parking is costly.

Pros: Staff and the public bath which was exceptional

Cons: Wifi unworkable and smell of drains in bathroom

Pros: The onsen is the highlight, with indoor and outdoor bath. The staffs can speak english very well, and it's not surprising since its from established brand. Price is very affordable for the brand. Walking distance from station, and even to Karato market.

Cons: The neighborhood does not have much to offer, but that's ok just for rest.

Pros: healthy and plentiful breakfast with even the local famous fish (fugu) lightly fried. Lots of Japanese standard breakfast items and western items such as bread, etc, Public bath with natural hot springs water is great with a nice sauna on the top 10th floor roof. See the sun rise or the night stars from the hot onsen bath on open side and no ceiling. See also the large ships pass by on the Kamon canal nearby. Train station is about 7 min walk. Hotel provides transportation to the station and local attractions. The new 30 story high tower is just nextdoors. Room was clean with a shower we rarely used as the onsen bath is convenient and easy to use (closes at 9 AM stays open all night). Convenience and electronics stores nearby.

Pros: Keeping necessary refurbishment to date. Surprisingly light music broadcast still retained while new high-speed USB charging port installed on the bedside panel.

Cons: Not applicable.

Pros: The bed is good condition. I can get the train and bus easy by walking inly a few minute.

Cons: Breakfast should be more items.

Pros: Excellent location next to station Staff very friendly Rooms have a cozy feel Windows could be opened completely No dry air

Cons: The breakfast is not really breakfast if it’s 4 baskets of pre-baked rolls with nothing offered to put on them and a Nestle soup dispenser (no joke, that was literally it.) The bathroom was nice, but i think it wasn’t completely cleaned.

Pros: Near the station. Had parking.

Cons: I wish had a little more selection for soft drink in the machine.

Pros: Old but well-maintained hotel. Near to JR station and bus terminal. There is a bus before the JR station heading Karato Market which is very convenient.

Pros: Very new n clean hotel. Modern furnishings. Staff speaks English n friendly. Willing to help n answer questions promptly. Would recommend friends n will come back to stay again.

Cons: Car parking needed to pay for 850 yen

Pros: Super helpful stuff (also English speaking if you need one). Amenities in the room were sufficient but you could have also find some special ones in the lobby. Breakfast was very tasty. There is a parking lot in the back of the hotel (spacious and cheap). The hotel is 10min walk from the Yume Tower and some nice izakayas.

Cons: Elevator was super old and scary (also smelling of cigarettes). Hotel could use some wall repainting and carpet change (it would definitely make it more attractive).

Pros: Breakfast was great, and we had a decent sized room for japanese standards - there was even space to have a desk and a sofa in the room!! The front counter also keeps your room key for you in the day, so you dont have to worry about accidentally losing it when you are out! The Shimonoseki station is super close, as well as food places!

Cons: The hotel has a policy of not letting guests stay in the hotel room between about 11am to 3pm, for the reason that they need to clean the hotel rooms. You will need to let them know beforehand if you want to stay in and hence not want your room cleaned. Also, only one door card per room was given, accidentally locked myself out pretty much immediately upon checking out. In spite of my limited japanese, managed to get it sorted out fast.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Arrived at 9pm...Restaurant was shut. Bar was shut. No room service.

Pros: Staffs are friendly and room is clean enough. The location is just 5 mins away from the Shimonoseki station.

Cons: It's very old hotel and room is very small. You shouldnt expect any view from your room. Breakfast is served until 9:30. So if you are not morning person, you might be miss it.

Pros: staff friendly. but if you could speak Japanese else it would be language barrier. the breakfast was delicious yet you could get bored with the same menu everyday

Cons: it would've been better if there are varieties of breakfast. the only two menu available and only coffee and green tea . it would be better if could start the day with milk

Pros: It is close to the key sightseeing places

Pros: I stayed here multiple times in last 5 years. Good old honest place. It doesn’t have the fancy modern look but very good sturdy feeling . Nice heavy door, comfy bed, good shower and super delicious breakfast!

Cons: I wish the shower curtain has one of those curved curtain rail so that it doesn’t cling to the body.

Pros: Good location.

Pros: Old fashioned, but spacious!! Easy to access Kaikyokan. Good for free parking. Value for money!

Pros: Not exactly a five star hotel, but very good value for money, and it has all the basics. Recommended for a cheap night’s stay.

Cons: Nothing in particular, but the water pipes were a bit noisy at times

Pros: Free parking, and the space for the amount we spent. Decent facilities with hot spring bath on second level in the same building, which is very convenient.

Pros: Staff were very helpful and friendly

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Thé staff very kind. The room is very large compared to Japanese standards. Everything I needed for my stay was there.

Pros: Staff were friendly and spoke a little english which helped. Room was spacious and great value for money! Great water pressure in the showers and plenty of room in the wardrobes.

Pros: I like the view.

Cons: Value for money in the room is so poor.

Pros: great location! excellent view! very friendly and helpful staff

Pros: We have been staying at Kokura Station Hotel for 2,5 weeks and we are extremely satisfied. Healthy and tasty japanese breakfasts. Clean guest room with a climate control system and a bottle of fresh water every day. The everyday guest room cleaning. The location is perfect as to take a train you need just go downstairs. The personnel is very kind and attentive (my groom once asked for soy sauce for his rice and waitress remembered that and brough soy sauce each breakfast). For attention of the hotel: toothpaste and a toothbrush are in one packaging. I think it is appropriate for the hotel to divide them as we do not change the toothbrush each day.

Pros: Excellent location, clean room, and friendly staffs

Pros: Great location right at the train station area. Shopping and eateries all within a stone's throw.

Cons: The ventillation system didn't seem to work at all. The room was so stuffy that we could hatdly sleep. That was particularly undisirable for us as we went to Kitakyushu for the marathon.

Cons: Access to the Gym is chargeable and very expensive

Pros: Fantastic breakfast and view of Kokura city in the night. Extremely convenient location, just few minutes walk from the JR station

Cons: If I must name a few: maybe more TV channels. And I really regretted not having a buffet diner at the hotel.

Pros: Location, cleanliness and spacious

Pros: Public bath

Pros: Express check out. Reasonable variety for breakfast.

Cons: breakfast not the best

Pros: Good location and room size. There has staffs who very kindness!

Cons: Wifi was weak sometimes.

Pros: The hotel was very near to the station.

Cons: Although everything in the room was spotlessly clean, I did not have a feeling that it was clean. Either because the odour of detergent was so strong, or because there was dirt in the hair dryer when I used it.

Pros: Near Kitakyushu station

Cons: No clerk when would like to buy non-reserved breakfast at restaurant.

Pros: - Location near Kokura station - Easy checkout (just drop the room key)

Cons: - Breakfast could start earlier (but this is because I have to go very early to my work site, 7:00 start time is good for most people)

Pros: Close to everything

Cons: All good

Pros: They had one person who actually spoke New Zealand accentuated English, that was nice. I really liked the atmosphere and the staff was as usual very helpful more than average. Everything is quite Japanese, apart from that, very nice. I actually fell in love in that place and hopefully that will change my life so you might not take my recension that seriously as I am biased

Cons: That I had to leave.

Pros: Was allocated a unit near the lift but it was really quiet. Daily breakfast was simple and delicious. Aircon was able to keep the room hot/cold well. Around a 3 min walk from the Kokura Shinkansen exit.

Cons: Contents of BS & cable tv was as expected but Pay-TV content is rather lacking.

Pros: Awesome value for money. Great daily breakfast.

Pros: Very convenient location Kitakyushu JR train station just 5 minutes away. A lot restaurant and Aruarucity( comics and manga) building just opposite.

Pros: Staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. A short walk from the station and the rooms had everything you could need.

Cons: The hotel can be difficult to find if you don't know the area. Definitely worth researching the right station exit before travelling, otherwise perfect!

Pros: Me and my boyfriend stayed here for a few nights while going to Oita for the rugby. The rooms are clean, basic and the staff are really friendly. We had everything we needed here.

Pros: The room is pretty spacious, the size of the bathroom and living room exceeds my expectation. Also, a special room is designed where the beautiful garden outside could be viewed, very relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. The hotel feels like a decent option for traveling with family.

Cons: Although we don’t have any problems with the facilities and the cleaning is just acceptable, it would be better if further renovation could be conducted in the future.

Pros: Room was clean. Heater is worked. Facility was prepared nicely.

Cons: The room is very small for us. We found difficulty to put our luggagge. But we found out that it is common in Japan.

Pros: Fantastic gardens and really nice hotel. Like an oasis in the the middle of a city, sitting in those gardens was a wonderful experience. Very reasonably priced although the floor we stayed on was probably due for a makeover. This did not however spoil our stay, room was more than adequate.

Cons: The room was in need of a makeover,

Pros: The ready-to-assist staffers at the check-in counter. We arrived earlier than the check-in hour and asked the staffers if they could keep our luggage until we actually do the check-in. When we came back to the hotel for the check-in and for the luggage. The staffers already processed the check-in and gave the key for our room. In addition to that, our luggage were delivered already to the room!!!

Cons: Like most other hotels in Japan, the room was smaller than we expected. That, however, is not a big problem for us. We know people in Japan share limited space. J

Pros: Great location, clean rooms and very nice atmosphere.

Pros: Very nice and clean, with all comfortable things that everybody wish in an hotel.

Cons: Closer to the station should be better

Cons: I did not like this hotel. High finish in European style. The walls are thin. I could hear the people in the next room. I had paid for a garden view. Ok, only 200 yen but from my room on the 6th floor, I could barely see the garden. And the room was arranged so that the bed faced into the room rather than facing the window. Breakfast was fine but I’ve had better in this trip.

Pros: It was good, nicely decorated room, the furnitures,, and front staffs were very kind.. there is very nice pond garden that you can walk around. 3 stops with bus from Kokura JR, but actually it's right at the 'monorail' station that you can take from JR Kokura too. room is small but feel comfortable becuz it's so clean. I chose Japanese breakfast and it was neat... balanced traditional dishes and it turned out they refill the rice and miso-siru if requested. and also the bathroom condition was beautiful and relaxing..! Surprisingly it was low-price on booking.com compared to their quality and room condition and the location... what I liked the most was the smiling welcome of a front staff. I ended up going there again and stayed once more.

Cons: nothing.. but the desk lamp in the room was broken and didn't light up.
