Oriental Hotel Fukuoka Hakata Station

The location of the accommodation is excellent. The breakfast is very plentiful, enough for two meals, making it a great starting point for self-guided tours. It is conveniently located with easy access to transportation, and the environment is clean. The staff is very friendly and considerate. The balcony design is nice, providing a good place to rest after a day out. There are many free services, such as complimentary coffee. The rooms are also quite clean. This is my second stay here. The hotel currently offers English programs such as CNN, and the internet speed is very fast. Overall, I am extremely satisfied. If I visit Fukuoka, Japan again, I will definitely stay here.

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.

Good location, flexibility for journey, delicious breakfast, clean and diligent housekeeper, good balcony for view

I’m not sure why this place has a 3.9 rating on Google Reviews. Getting a reservation through booking.com literally 15minutes before walking into the hotel was super easy. Long story short, we came back from Okinawa and drove our car from the airport and immediately experienced car trouble so we had to get it towed to a shop in Hakata. Because it is Obon the train tickets were all sold out for the next train and we have an infant with us so we didn’t want to leave late. Instead, we decided to stay the night and leave the next morning. This hotel is such a convenient location and next to taxis. Of course it will be busy in the area, it’s next to a major train station with a subway, Shinkansen, buses, taxis, etc. The front desk is on the 2F and our check-in was very smooth. I think the woman checking us in could tell we had a long day so she immediately told us about their special if we joined their free hotel membership. It took 2 minute to join by QR code and email, and we got our room upgraded for free. The welcome area by the front is very nice with a photo spot, stamp area, and complimentary drinks. There is a nice breakfast spot on the 2F and a place to get alcohol on the 5F. There were so many extras this hotel offered that I have no experienced in Japan, so it was very cool. The delivery option of having alcoholic drinks and some food delivered to your room until 10pm (cash only) was pretty cool. The room was very spacious with a king size bed (I think!), a seating area with a table and two cushioned chairs, a TV, mini fridge, coffee area with amenities, a separate sink area for the bathroom and then a bathroom area with a nice bathtub/shower. The bathtub was so big! Wonderful stay and I’d like to stay again!!!

The hotel is very near to the Hakata train station (less than 5 mins walk). You can take the JR trains or local trains from this station. There are also many food options available around the hotel. Will definitely stay there again.
