Yanagawa Vacations from ￥58,430

Very nice property with Western-size rooms, right in the heart of Tenjin and its shopping district. Somewhat odd that the lobby is on the 19th floor, while the guest rooms are below. The only minor mark is the Lounge . . . beet nice decor, but don’t expect much in terms of food or snacks. Sparse would be the correct descriptive. Having said that, I’d gladly stay again.

No privacy between two bedrooms that had bathroom or kitchen. One of the two bathroom was outside the room and it was kind of spooky.

The rooms were clean. Self check in and check out worked just fine. Booked this place with 3 other Americans and had no problems. Foreigner friendly and it’s only a couple minute walk from Hakata station. The rooms were clean and the beds were larger than even the photos made them look. There’s also a 7-11 just down the street where you can get late night munchies and the best atm rates in Japan. Just bring your passport as even with self check in it’s still required. Overall, a great experience.

Unmanned hotel! I don’t remember reading this on the Expedia website or reviews. Thank goodness I looked at other websites and that’s when I found out. Check in is virtual…you need a code to enter building then need a hotel reservation code…the other websites said we would get an email which I didn’t so I reached out to the hotel and that’s when I got my information written in Japanese (which I am unable to read). The hotel room was extremely cold on the first night even with the heater on. It was nice having a washer dryer. We used the dryer to dry our bath towels as the room was too cold for them to dry on their own. Big refrigerator with a freezer was nice. Room size was decent and fairly clean. Easy walk to the train station…about 7 minutes. Family Mart at the end of the block.

The place is neat and just nice for 5pax.There are few convenience stores nearby. Restaurants tend to open after 11am. Instead of walking from Hakata station, there are buses that can take you directly to the bus stop (about 2 stops) which is just few steps away from Roi.
