Fukuoka (FUK) to Osaka (KIX)

9/10 Wonderful! (44 reviews)

Staff were friendly and helpful - spoke Japanese to them and they replied in Japanese (unlike others who want to try practicing their English with foreigners). Within walking distance to Dōtonbori and Amemura, but itself situated on a quieter road. Easy to get to train stations nearby. Bed had a comfy mattress. Free refills of tea and coffee left in our room every day. The room itself was a bit cramped though, with no space under the bed to store luggage.
