castle-view room was spectacular.
My family had a great stay in a castle-view room. It was spectacular! The location cannot get better, with major malls and restaurants less than 700 meters away. The staff was very courteous. What a refreshing change from all these unattended/automated hotels.

Breakfast is excellent for Japanese and the Kumamoto castle’s view from the room and from the cafeteria for breakfast is gorgeous.
This hotel is 5 min walk from city hall, shopping/restaurant area and bus and street train stations.

I loved this hotel. The staff were very friendly to my husband and sister and I. The breakfast was delicious, I loved how I was able to have a wonderful Japanese traditional breakfast. It was also very convenient to walk to Kumamoto Castle. It was very quiet, spacious, clean, and I felt safe! I will be staying again!

Very good location.
Very good location to visit Kumamoto Castle on foot, and fantastic view of Castle is also available from the room. Major commercial district Ginaza Touri is also located in walking distance.

Hotel across the street from the Kumamoto Castle with lots of shopping and dining options nearby. The customer service was really great all around, but one that really stuck out was the parking attendant. He did such a nice job ensuring we had quick and convenient service with parking. We had a beautiful castle view from our room. Really happy with our stay!

This hotel is right next to the Kumamoto castle and provides a great view. There is a bus station right in front and it is a short walk to the street car and entrance to the castle and drinking and eating establishments in town. Hotel has convenient, east to use laundry machines so we caught up with some of our laundry. Rooms wete nice and provided a good view. The breakfast buffet is excellent.

The staffs were very friendly and helpful, especially the front desk staffs, the older gentleman who is amazing! The castle view from the room is extra bonus!
Althougt it feels like a 5 stars hotel in the 80s but it has kept the ground somewhat updated.
I really enjoy it and the price is really reasonable.
Looking forward to visit other KKR properties.

Overlooking the castle, this was in a great location, ands easy walk to the restaurants of the town. The room was classical and spacious well laid out. It was a short but very comfortable stay. Parking was very easy.

Service was the best!! We lost a luggage key and only realised it 3 days later. Kobayashi-san assisted us swiftly and even arranged delivery to our last hotel thankfully it got to us before we departed Japan. Once again many thanks to Kobayashi-san!
The view of Kumamoto Castle was excellent; too bad there is still construction going on to repair the castle after the 2016 earthquake. Even though the hotel is the closest to the castle, you will need to walk all the way to the South Gate to enter.
Parking slots are abundant so no worries. There are 3 washing machines and 3 dryers at the laundry room located near reception desk. Beds are comfy. Complimentary water is provided everyday.

Small room but the environment nearby is good
The hotel got a manager who is from Hong Kong and can speak fluent English, Cantonese and Japanese who is professional and nice. The hotel is near to くまもとじょう
Kumamoto-jō 熊本城. You can just walk for ten seconds and can arrive. The room is smaller than what I expect and see from the pictures. Near the hotel, there are shopping streets and many shops are still open at night time.

Good: Quick check-in and friendly staff. Nice view of castle from room.
Bad: Pillows are so flat that I can’t sleep well. TV seems like 2010 condition, remote control buttons are no sensitve and difficult to navigate.
Location a bit far from shopping street.

Kumamoto castle is just in front of the hotel. It’s a stunning icon but you can see the scares that that the earthquake destroyed. The hotel is 10-15 mins from midtown and quieter. I was a solo traveler but was lucky enough since they gave me a twin bedroom which is spacious for me. The downside was accessing to the laundry where people need to walk in front of the reception. Also, if you expect western breakfast, it’s a bit limited. Overall, I had a good experience with such professional staff who offered the best and traditional services.
