Top Shimotori Hotel Reviews

Candeo Hotels Kumamoto Shinshigai

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location and a modern, new gorgeous hotel! Room was spacious"

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kumamoto

10/10 Excellent

"El personal fue muy amable en todo momento. Nos facilitaron una báscula para pesar maletas .Tuvimos que usar un parking con convenio ya que el coche era más alto que el techo(cuidado), el encargado del parking estaba preocupado por si nos perdiamos. La habitación era conveniente, más grande que lo normal del país. Los baños estaban algo viejos, oxido alrededor de sanitarios. En la planta 3 había lavandería, al llegar olía bastante a tabaco."

Nest Hotel Kumamoto

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at Kumamoto Nest Hotel was excellent. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for my stay. I especially appreciated having breakfast available each morning. Fresh towels, a robe, and slippers were provided daily, which was a nice touch. The staff were helpful and friendly throughout my visit. Another big advantage was that everything I needed was within walking distance. This was my first visit to Japan, and the hotel exceeded my expectations. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to other travelers."
