"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...

Top Shimotori Hotel Reviews

THE BLOSSOM KUMAMOTO

8/10 Good

"The property is modern & clean, however parking & access can be quite confusing. We unloaded in the hotel basement carpark & checked in, but was told to move & park in the P1 Station Carpark. That was ok, however it was then terrible to find the access back to the hotel through 4 levels of shops and not very clear signage. For a quite costly stay, this maze of access doesn’t really fit the luxury hotel vibe!"

SOTETSU GRAND FRESA KUMAMOTO

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, friendly, central, and had a few amenities, they supplied clean towels everyday and could clean your room if you request it, , good and nice they have the Kumamoto Castle, super nice, they had samurai’s goo you to take pictures either the, the have a long waking area with lots of shops that you can buy souvenirs !! They have a lot of tille restaurants and cafes to try different things!! I needed more time in this city ! I loved it!!"

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."
