Convenient location between castle and shopping arcade. Taxi from train station is about 1500 yen. The hotel could use a renovation, but it's a good value.

Very nice room, spacious, with everything one needs.Excellent bed. Nicely designed and decorated lobby and restaurant. For a 5 night stay like mine, it would be nice to have more than just two breakfast options which gets a little boring if you can have only the exactly same two. The breakfast meals as such were otherwise fine and tasty..

Self parking is easy and friendly staff. Booked a castle view room and is spacious. Breakfast is limited to either Japanese or western set which is good enough. Overall will recommend to stay!

This is a 4-star hotel, which caught me completely off-guard given how affordable the room was. I was more or less a fish out of water in that environment. Not particularly used to people always wanting to attend to me! Anyways, the overall hotel is extremely nice, though the rooms are a bit basic in comparison. Location is effectively perfect; Kumamoto Castle is across the street and the shopping arcade is a block behind you. Trams run in front. Multiple in-house dining options as well, though I did not use them. Parking is limited; on the first night I had to use a different lot that has a contract with the hotel, but the valet moved my car to the property the next morning on my behalf.

Beautiful hotel, nicely located with terrific service. We had some problems with our air-conditioning and we were upgraded to another room. The staff were super helpful. The breakfast was also a great experience (Western and Japanese available). There are many nearby restaurants. We were cycling and left our bikes in the indoor parking garage. Terrific hotel.
