Staying at The Luigans Spa and Resort was an absolute delight. The free shuttle from Hakata Hearts Bus Terminal made the journey seamless—I caught the 9:30 AM bus with only a few passengers, so it was comfortable and stress-free. One of the best perks? The complimentary admission ticket to Sea Island Park, just a 3-minute walk away—perfect for a relaxing stroll or a morning breeze. The room was spacious and beautifully designed, offering both comfort and tranquility. The on-site hot spring bath facilities were excellent, with clean, well-maintained spaces that truly enhanced the relaxation experience. While there aren’t many dining options nearby, the in-house Western restaurant served a high-quality set dinner at a fair price. And then came the surprise—the nightly 5-minute fireworks display! It was such a delightful unexpected treat, adding a magical touch to our evening. Overall, the value, service, and unique touches made this stay unforgettable. I’d definitely come back.
Staying at Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk after visiting PayPay Dome was an absolute game-changer. Just a 5-minute walk from the venue through the covered corridor, with a FamilyMart right next door—perfect for winter visits. While others were still waiting in line for transportation, we were already checked in and settled in our room. After unpacking and catching a quick rest, we headed out to dinner when the restaurants were quiet and the vibe was relaxed. Everything—from location and convenience to service quality—was spot-on. If you're planning a trip to Fukuoka and have the chance to stay here, don't even think twice—this is the best choice.
Staying at The Residential Suites Fukuoka was an excellent experience from start to finish. The apartment is spacious and well-designed, with a comfortable living area and a fully equipped kitchen—perfect for cooking meals during our trip. The location is ideal: just a short walk from local restaurants, convenience stores, and the bustling shopping district of Tenjin. Public transportation is super accessible, making it easy to explore Fukuoka City or head to Hakata Station. What stood out most was the front desk staff—they were incredibly friendly, helpful, and went the extra mile to assist us with recommendations and even arranged airport transfer. Clean, modern, and thoughtfully furnished, this place offers great value for money. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Fukuoka.
Staying at UNPLAN Fukuoka was an absolute delight. The location near Ohori Park Station is super convenient—though the station closes at midnight, it's just a short walk away, and the neighborhood feels safe and welcoming. The hostel itself is spotless, with a unique, international vibe that makes it feel like home away from home. I’ve already planned my return visit! What stood out most was the guest mix—more Western travelers than Asian ones—which kept the atmosphere calm and quiet. Perfect for a peaceful night’s sleep or a relaxing break in Fukuoka. Highly recommend this gem!
I’ve stayed here before and loved it, so when there was a Zepp concert, I knew exactly where to book! The room was spacious, the air conditioning worked perfectly, the bathroom was generous in size, and the windows were big enough to let in lots of natural light—everything felt fresh and comfortable. There was just one small hiccup: my fridge wasn’t cooling properly, so my drinks ended up lukewarm. I went to the lounge to grab some ice but realized I couldn’t bring it back to my room—turns out there was a notice I must have missed. I apologized for not seeing it, and the staff were incredibly understanding. They immediately offered to switch me to another room, and the new one had a fully functional fridge that cooled down right away. It made all the difference. If there’s a concert at the Dome again, I’ll definitely book here once more. Great location, excellent service, and such a pleasant stay overall!
We recently hosted a reunion of 11 cousins on Shikama Island, and since it had been years since we all gathered, we decided to extend our stay by one extra day. At first, we weren’t even sure how many people would be coming, but the hotel was incredibly flexible and accommodating—truly appreciated! They even allowed us to check in earlier, which made things much easier for our older relatives, most of whom were celebrating their 70th birthdays or beyond. As someone born in Kitakyushu and now living in Sapporo, returning to Fukuoka felt like coming home. The memories we created here were priceless. From the warm welcome to the quiet, comfortable space, everything felt just right. If I ever plan another family gathering, this will definitely be my top choice. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
Located in Fukuoka, this place offers a clean and convenient stay with easy access to the city center via subway. The bathroom is a bit tight, but perfectly functional for one or two guests. Overall, it's a great value for money option—ideal for travelers looking for comfort without breaking the bank. The room layout is smart and practical, making it feel spacious despite its compact size. I was really happy with my stay and would definitely choose this accommodation again on my next visit to Fukuoka.
The room was excellent—clean, comfortable, and well-designed, making it a great place to unwind. However, there was a bit of confusion upon arrival: the platform didn’t mention the additional city tax, which caused some delays as we had to sort out the utility fee over the phone at the front door. Standing in the sun while waiting felt exhausting, and we were almost overheated! Also, although the listing said the front desk staff spoke Korean, no one actually did when we arrived—this was disappointing. Despite these small issues, the room itself is fantastic: cozy bed, smart layout, and a really welcoming vibe. I’d definitely stay here again if I’m back in Fukuoka. Just a quick suggestion—please make sure all extra charges and language support details are clearly stated upfront so future guests can avoid the same hassle.
It's a bit of a distance from the city center, but the location is actually fantastic — right next to Donki, with tons of cafes and bars nearby. I loved how quiet and peaceful the area was while still being super convenient for everything I needed. The staff were friendly, the room was clean and cozy, and it felt like a great value for the price. A little off the beaten path, but that’s part of its charm. Definitely a solid choice if you’re looking for a relaxed stay with easy access to local vibes.
Traveling solo and this hostel was perfect for me—great value, right in the heart of Fukuoka with top-notch access to all the main attractions. The rooms and bathrooms were spotlessly clean, which made the stay super comfortable. I especially appreciated the thoughtful reminder from the owner when it started raining—such a small gesture but really showed how attentive they are. The location is unbeatable, and the vibe is welcoming and friendly. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone visiting Fukuoka, and I wish the team continued success and prosperity!
The room was absolutely terrible—literally itched all over as soon as I stepped inside. The actual space didn’t match the photos at all. There was no bed frame, just a thin mat on the floor. The upper bunk had only a single pad, and the lower level was completely open with no safety barrier. Even the sheets and pillowcases weren’t made of cotton—very poor quality. Hygiene was unacceptable; I couldn’t even consider sleeping there. We ended up sitting through the night, barely able to close our eyes. This has been the worst accommodation experience in Japan during multiple visits. If you’re choosing where to stay, skip hostels or private rentals entirely—always go for a proper hotel. Definitely not worth booking through any platform. This place should be removed from listings immediately.
Our family stay here for four nights with two kids, and it was absolutely perfect! The location is ideal—just a 2-minute walk to Ohori Park, making it easy to enjoy morning strolls or evening relaxation on the grass. The apartment was well-equipped for cooking, which made meal prep stress-free, especially with young ones in tow. We were also grateful for the washing machine, which came in handy during our longer stay. The unit itself was quiet and peaceful, providing a calm retreat after a day of exploring Fukuoka. Everything we needed was right there—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. Highly recommend this gem for families looking for a relaxing, convenient base in the city.
