Probably the joint best hotel I used this trip. The room was a good size, bigger than most I’ve stayed in Japan. Good condition with bathroom, comfortable bed, TV etc. Coin laundry on the 2nd floor. Great breakfast and really close to Hakata station. Which ticked basically all the boxes I needed.
There were only two minor drawbacks compared to the other hotel I would rate as my joint best.
1. the room I was in had a window facing a wall so not much light.
2. the other joint best hotel had a washer dryer in the room (Taking these in consideration the other hotel sounds better, but it also cost something like 3 times more than Richmond per night. I would take a hit on the window & washer dryer to save that kind of money & I’m sure there are plenty of rooms with better views than I had).
