It was great friendly staff with a breakfast buffet in the mornings. It is 1500 yen for the breakfast buffet which has local cuisine. The only downside i would say is if you need to do laundry it can get really expensive

First visit to Kumamoto
It was good. The room was spacious and the service we got from the staff pre and at check-in are flawless.
It can be a bit of a challenge to get to the hotel from JR Kumamoto station with luggage as the tram is always full of people the station.
But I really like the fact that it's close to the shotengai area and there are a lot of shops, restaurants and game centres around.

Public parking, convenient stores and shopping street is less than 3 mins away from the main door of the hotel. A good variety of toiletries are available at the hotel reception area. We can take whatever that we needed without any waste.
The room and toilet are clean and spacious. The beds are comfortable. It is a plus point to have the connecting rooms available for our family.
While they do not have a wide variety of food choices for breakfast buffet, the food is tasty with some Kumamoto local dishes available for us to try. Check out their official site to have a feel of the breakfast.

Staff are professional and helpful.
After 3 days of the hotel room checked out, my husband found out that he had left a wedding ring in the room, I rang up and contacted the hotel, the staff called Airi ANDO, replied promptly that the wedding ring was found and still keeping it for us, she also arranged a shipment service for delivering the wedding ring to my home in U.K.
It was amazing and thanks for all staffs in this hotel who are such professional and helpful.
We will definitely be returning to this hotel again for our next stays in Kumamoto.
