Lovely hotel with castle views

Wonderful hotel with views of Kumamoto Castle. However, the window in our room didn’t provide as good a view of the castle as we had expected. Hotel is lovely and the staff is wonderful.

Well located and comfortable hotel in Kumamoto

We stayed for 2 nights in Kumamoto. The hotel is located conveniently within a short distance to the castle and near to shops and eateries. Parking is available on site and you have to leave your car keys with the hotel and exchange with a parking slip whenever you need to retrieve the car. It seems more of a businesss hotel and there was also a wedding reception on one of the days we were there. We had a great experience in Kumamoto and honestly there was nothing we could fault with the hotel.

Very classy hotel and convenient to walk around downtown Kumamoto. Staffs are very polite, yet friendly and comfortable to stay there. Breakfast was creative to offer local specialty to try. Love the music (smooth jazz) that you can have in the guest room and dining area. Highly recommend to experience class hotel with long history where the emperors stayed in the past.

This hotel is “The classy” hotel. Built a while ago, so it has old charm everywhere. Love the option that you can play music BGM that you can enjoy in your room. Everything is old but neatly well kept and very comfortable. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was amazing with serving local food with great variety.

Good location. Central to most attractions being close to the castle. We only spent a night in kumamoto but felt that this hotel was good value. Parking in front of the hotel was a bit tight depending on the spots available. They do have another parking area though. Hotel was clean and as described in the listing. Overall, a good stay.

Great location and comfortable

I booked this hotel because a friend of mine recommended it based on its proximity to Kumamoto Castle. Boy was I surprised by how awesome this place was. Nice decor, large rooms (not Japanese roooms, regular sized rooms) with plenty of space and a comfortable bathroom. The property didn’t feel dated at all and the staff were all terrific. When we drove up one employee received us with a bow and quickly helped us with our luggage, quite the reception to be honest. The front desk staff all spoke English which was a pleasant surprise compared to the other hotels we stayed at on this 2 week trip. Highly recommend and I’m sad I didn’t spring for the breakfast, I think that’s a missed opportunity on my part.
View from the front of the hotel!
