Sumiyoshi Shrine

This hotel was ok. It’s actually a nice hotel and the room itself was nice but it was extremely small and there are almost no amenities that other hotels have. The rooms are so small there is barely walking space. If you are alone or maybe a couple it would be fine but if there are more than two people forget it and we got the three bed room so I can only imagine how small a one bed or two bed room is. Also, there is no coffee provided not in the room nor in the hotel unless you pay for the full buffet or wait until 11am when the cafe opens. There is no closet space and hardly any bathroom counter space. The AC was decent but not cold and the TV only has Japanese programming no English and even when I streamed my own prime video I couldn’t get English. The staff was ok. Not friendly like other hotels interesting Japan but not rude, just not what I expected. The hotel is not near too many restaurants that we wanted but maybe for others it would be ok. There are only 3 washers and 3 dryers so be prepared to wait FOREVER for laundry unless you do it in the middle of the night and it is so hot in that area. I would not stay here again if in Fukuoka. I would pick a hotel near Hakata Station instead and definitely one that has bigger rooms. While a fairly nice and decent hotel and the price was great, it’s not for me. However, I’m sure many people have no problem with it. Just keep in mind no coffee and extremely small rooms.

The blanket is smelly and the beds are very small. The room is not possible to accommodate 8 adults and 4 kids as indicated ( only 2 queen sized beds and 4 small sized single beds). Besides, only one toilet and washroom was available. It took hours for us to take term bathing every night. Check in is very uneasy. The check-in ID was incorrect, and the operator can hardly communicate in English. Tissue ran out on the second day, but no refill was available. Don’t know how to dump the garbage, and no instruction. Our garbage bin was full for the whole time. We stayed fours nights with 6 adults and 4 kids. It was very crowded and uncomfortable. This room is extremely over-priced, given the space, zero facility and no refill or cleaning on everything. Disappointing!
