Oriental Hotel Fukuoka Hakata Station

Proximity to Hakata train station

We arrived to Hakata after a very long flight from Hawaii with layover to Haneda and finally landed in Fukuoka almost 2 hours behind schedule. By the time we arrived in Hakata, it was almost 10pm. But we made it safely and I am so thankful for the proximity of this hotel from the station. Literally right out the door of the Chikushi Exit. It was very clean, beautiful and welcoming. I can't thank you enough for the complimentary warm bowl of Welcome Soba mini bowl. We were hungry but too tired to go and find a place to eat. We just wanted a quick grab and crash. I will never forget this thoughtful hospitality. There were only 2 bowls left. We were so fortunate. Thank you so much Oriental Hotel Hakata Station!

The breakfast at the hotel was excellent! While the spread may not have been extensive, the quality of the food provided was exceptional. I also liked the fresh orange juice from the machine. The juice was sweet and refreshing! We also enjoyed both the lunch and dinner buffets and were highly satisfied with the delicious offerings. Wine was provided during dinner. The staff were incredibly obliging and helpful, with special thanks to Miss Tamang from Nepal and her team for their outstanding service. We were also pleasantly upgraded to a much larger room after reporting a cigarette smell in our initial bathroom to Miss Tamang and her team. The hotel itself is beautiful and exudes a five-star feel. A delightful bonus was the complimentary ramen and wine served every evening at 9 p.m., adding to the charm of the stay. Conveniently located just across from Hakata Station and its bustling shopping mall, the hotel made exploring the area a breeze.

The staff was so helpful. I fell and they stayed with me until the ambulance came. We hadn’t checked in yet but they took complete care of our bags while we were away. I also loved the location. There is a great shopping and eating mall right next door at the Hakata train station, making travel, shopping and meals so easy. Oh, what I also liked very much was the free sake for guests in the evenings and wonderfully free soba noodles every night at 9:00pm.

The hotel is located right in front of hakata station, which makes it super convenient for travelling and exploring other places via their subway or JR. apart from that, there are many shopping malls nearby as well. Just a word of warning. You might get lost as their shopping malls are clustered together! It also comes with free flow sake at the reception area, and soba noodles at a certain period of time.
