Hakata Nakasu Washington Hotel Plaza

“Très simple, mais très bien situé”

Nous avons choisi cet hôtel parce que c'était le plus abordable en Obama pour visiter la région de G7 Summit. Ce n'était pas notre premier choix mais il s'est avéré que c'était le meilleur hôtel où nous pouvions avoir un compte tenu de ce que nous voulions faire à Fukuoka. L'hôtel est un peu loin d… Plus

Nous avons choisi cet hôtel parce que c'était le plus abordable en Obama pour visiter la région de G7 Summit. Ce n'était pas notre premier choix mais il s'est avéré que c'était le meilleur hôtel où nous pouvions avoir un compte tenu de ce que nous voulions faire à Fukuoka. L'hôtel est un peu loin de la gare si vous avez beaucoup de bagages. Donc il faudra peut-être aussi bien de prendre un taxi. C'est difficile de trouver l'hôtel si c'est votre premier séjour là bas car les hôtels se saoûlent située sur le côté de l'établissement en japonais. Le seul indice que ce soit l'hôtel directement est le fait que le taxi s'arrêter à cet hôtel, le nom en langue anglaise à l'entrée. Le personnel ne parlaient pas bien anglais mais suffisamment bien pour comprendre ce qu'il nous fallait. L'hôtel en lui-même est assez intime, les chambres ne sont pas très grandes, mais il est fonctionnel et la salle de bains est correcte. Vraiment pas, dans n'était le fait qu'il n'y avait petit il y avait des taches sur les rideaux et pourtant ma femme Waidmannsluster qu'il y avait des tâches sur la couette en plumes. Comme emplacement, c'est génial ! Il y avait beaucoup de restaurants dans le coin, il y a beaucoup d'endroits où ramen, sushi, etc. Il y a beaucoup de bars hôtesse, donc si vous êtes dans ce genre de choses, super. On peut aller à pied jusqu'au centre commercial Canal Yatai et vendeurs de nourriture. Tout près à pied de la promenade Don Quijote centre commercial de ceux des bibelots.

“Simple hotel”

Simple hotel, room is tiny and you don't have much control over the AC temperature. Beds are comfortable, free Wi-Fi is good. Breakfast is a set menu, 3 different options available, being 2 Japanese and 1 western style, food was not bad. Location is handy, in front of the river and 400m away fro… Plus

“Good for a night”

The hotel is a 10 minute walk (approx.) from Hakata station and is relatively easy to find.

The hotel is a 10 minute walk (approx.) from Hakata station and is relatively easy to find. Once you arrive outside however you will pause in confusion (if you don't know Japanese) as the name isn't written in English so you'll be momentarily unsure if you're stepping in to the right hotel. The neighborhood is okay but there does seem to be a few hostess clubs near by so the vibe isn't exactly 'sophisticated'. There are also a lot of ramen restaurants very near by so if this is what you're in Fukuoka for then the location is great! The front desk staff I checked in with didn't speak English so this might be an issue if you don't speak basic Japanese. You'll be offered a tooth brush and razor at the front desk when you check in so just decline if unneeded. The receptionist I checked in with seemed a little startled by a non-Japanese checking in and being given the card key but then no indication as to where he elevators were wasn't too impressive. The rooms are small! You'll be hard pressed to be able to turn a round with a backpack on and not bump into something. They are however clean and have the basics such as a fridge, flat screen tv, and light controls by the bed. The (semi) double bed is also quite small (I'm 6') so you'll be trying to sleep diagonally across it and if you're not used the Japanese style pillow look for the more 'western' one on the shelf by the door. This is what's known as a 'business' hotel in Japan. That means it's primarily used by business persons so it's function over form with just the basics on offer. It's not recommended for families due to its location and small room sizes. As it's mainly used by business people expect to be woken up around 7:00 a.m. by other guests leaving their rooms (there is little by way of sound insulation). Overall a good functional 'get what you pay for' hotel' but best suited to a single traveler passing through the city for the one night.

“Average”

After spending $60 on one night in the gorgeous Takakura Hotel, I was looking for big things from the $130 per night Hakata Nakasu.

After spending $60 on one night in the gorgeous Takakura Hotel, I was looking for big things from the $130 per night Hakata Nakasu. Upon entering, the reception area was nice and clean and the reception was helpful, even when there was a problem with one of my cards (stupid visa, argh!!). When we got to the room, we were somewhat disappointed. I expect small in Japan, so the size wasn't the issue. The bed seemed small compared to what we'd just experienced and the sheets were hard. The room was pretty cold (it had sort of an on/off heater system, rather than the thermostat that we'd had before) and I almost broke my neck when laid down on the pillow, it seemed to be filled up with rock-hard beans (they changed this upon request). The bathroom was small yet adequate, but the walls were really thin. My girlfriend and I joked that we were in a caravan. The shower was well equipped and hot, so I cant complain too much. It also meant that when the drunken Japanese man next door got home at 4am, I could hear him knocking on the door and shouting for someone to let him in, for the full 25 minutes.... :ㅣ The location is good, its a 2-3 min walk from Nakasukawabata subway station and is within a short walk to Tenjin area. You have to walk into the car-park to get into the building. All in all, I think the hotel was adequate for our stay, but the price was too high for what we got.
