Tosu Stadium

Small rooms (VERY small rooms), but they were clean, cool and the bed was comfortable, and the locality was amazing being close to Hakata wharf and the street food street down towards Canal City. A great hotel for young people. The staff were nowhere to be soon but I imagine that's kind of the point (the check-in is done by automated dinosaurs and we didn't see a single staff member in our two nights there). Overall, a very quirky and cool vibe.

The room is of a good size in Japan. There's room to open two big luggages at the same time. Location is great, 7 min to Tenjin-minami station, 5 min to bus stops, 3 min to two supermarkets, less then a minute to 7-11, work many eateries within this distance. The overall cleaniness is good with some stains on a little cabinet top, foundation looking stain on a curtain, a cut nail on the floor near the edge of one of the beds and little dust at corners. The condition of the washing machine, the bathroom, kitchen and toilet is clean. We felt comfortable using them with no issues afterwards. Down pillows on slightly firm mattresses didn't cause any trouble to our sleep. Air conditioning was sufficient. The downside is the design, there's only one hook in the whole room, two towel bars with no extra place to hang anything was inconvenient. It would be good to have hooks near the beds and outside the bathroom to hang things. The sofa was extra low, it's about 30cm off the ground. The toilet door swings open outward at the entrance area where you had to leave all your shoes and pretty much the only place to hang your clothes caused a lot of obstructions. No dish rack after washing. Ventilation was not strong but the windows can be opened. At the rate we got it, the size, the location with a kitchen and elevator of this property. We are quite happy with our 11 day stay.

The accommodation was really nice. Friendly staff. The free smoothie and evening ochazuke was a nice touch.
