Hiraodai 3 Stars Hotels

"**The positives: *The front desk staff was courteous, the cleaning staff was always friendly. *Nice (but cold/windy) area, super-close (~10m) to Kokura Station with plenty of conbini and vending machines. **Negatives: *Cramped bathroom, and I'm a 'global average' height of 179cm. Toilet paper dispenser was right where my phone wanted to be, while I was sitting on the toilet. Nowhere in the shower to put stuff, so I put it on the sink....which was tiny. I wound up putting the bottle of conditioner on the floor. I bumped elbows into walls, door frames, etc. I held the door-handle to steady myself while stepping down from the bathroom to the room's floor-level. *Disgusting amount of dust/etc. behind the toilet-operating panel, so I took a Q-tip and cleaned it for you. ugh. *Shower head holder wasn't firmly attached to the wall, adding to the "cheap" feeling of the bathroom. (ie. "It's cramped AND unmaintained.") *TV was at a weird angle and plugging my Switch into it made the video cut out for a second or so, every 10-30sec. *Just one elevator, although this was never an issue. *I heard a neighbor laughing (at the TV, I'd imagine) late Saturday night, but otherwise barely noticed any other guests. (But yeah...thin walls.) *The heater dried out the air in the room REALLY badly. Room needs a humidifier. *As usual, the option for a 2nd 'actual' pillow would be nice. *My GOODNESS the coin laundry here was overpriced. I didn't use it. I can wait. "

"It was a perfect one-night stay. The location was convenient, the amenities were good, and the room was clean. I’d happily stay again when I’m in town."

"There are 2 other Toyoko near by, This is the oldest, but the cheapest "

"Everything is good. "

"Lots of comics and free food and drinks!"

"Clean room, great public bath, decent location, friendly staff. Stayed here as a stop over on a long drive and it was perfect. "

"Room is spacious and the location is good."

"예상보다 엄청 깨끗함. 건물자체는 약간 오래된 느낌이지만 입구부터 방까지 되게 깔끔함. 칫솔.치약.면도기 등 갖춰진게 많아서 좋았음. 욕조도 일본치고 엄청 깊고 큼. 침대도 그렇게 작지않고 냄새안남. 혼자 여행한다면 시모노세키역이나 가라토시장에서 약간 거리가되지만 버스가 자주다녀서 괜찮음. 걸어간다고해도 대로변으로 쭉가면 되서 걱정없음. 여행객보단 비즈니스맨들이 많음. 밤에 주변에 걸어다니다보면 취해서 서로 배웅하고 택시부르고 그러는 비즈니스맨들 구경가능."

"Staff was friendly and helpful but the place felt a bit tired and in need of some maintenance attention. "
