Top Shimotori Hotel Reviews

THE BLOSSOM KUMAMOTO

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here in Kumamoto and loved it — rooms were super comfortable and clean, staff were really kind, and the location right above the station made everything easy. Only small thing, parking signage was a little confusing to find at first, but not a big deal. Would definitely stay again! 熊本滞在で泊まりましたが、すごく良かったです。お部屋は快適で清潔感があり、スタッフの方もとても親切でした。駅の真上という立地で移動もラクでした。強いて言うなら駐車場の案内が少し分かりにくかったですが、大した問題ではないです。また泊まりたいです!"

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."
