The rooms with a view of the Kumamoto Castle are amazing at night as well as day. One of the Top 3 castles in Japan is literally across the street from the hotel. The all you can eat breakfast buffet had the best Japanese selection. Parking was easy without having to go to the basement.
One of the Top 3 castles in Japan, Kumamoto Castle is a must visit.

I loved this hotel. The staff were very friendly to my husband and sister and I. The breakfast was delicious, I loved how I was able to have a wonderful Japanese traditional breakfast. It was also very convenient to walk to Kumamoto Castle. It was very quiet, spacious, clean, and I felt safe! I will be staying again!

Really nice place in front of Kumamoto castle. However it's about 5-8min walk from convenience store and the path is a bit dark at night, if you're alone should consider this. Apart from that, incredible, spacious and nice place

This hotel is right next to the Kumamoto castle and provides a great view. There is a bus station right in front and it is a short walk to the street car and entrance to the castle and drinking and eating establishments in town. Hotel has convenient, east to use laundry machines so we caught up with some of our laundry. Rooms wete nice and provided a good view. The breakfast buffet is excellent.

The staffs were very friendly and helpful, especially the front desk staffs, the older gentleman who is amazing! The castle view from the room is extra bonus! Althougt it feels like a 5 stars hotel in the 80s but it has kept the ground somewhat updated. I really enjoy it and the price is really reasonable. Looking forward to visit other KKR properties.

Small room but the environment nearby is good

The hotel got a manager who is from Hong Kong and can speak fluent English, Cantonese and Japanese who is professional and nice. The hotel is near to くまもとじょう Kumamoto-jō 熊本城. You can just walk for ten seconds and can arrive. The room is smaller than what I expect and see from the pictures. Near the hotel, there are shopping streets and many shops are still open at night time.

Kumamoto castle is just in front of the hotel. It’s a stunning icon but you can see the scares that that the earthquake destroyed. The hotel is 10-15 mins from midtown and quieter. I was a solo traveler but was lucky enough since they gave me a twin bedroom which is spacious for me. The downside was accessing to the laundry where people need to walk in front of the reception. Also, if you expect western breakfast, it’s a bit limited. Overall, I had a good experience with such professional staff who offered the best and traditional services.

One thing we love this room is nearby the Kumamoto Castle. The amenities provided was so great. There are 4 coin op washer and dryer so this is very convenient when you have a big family of 5 to wash your clothes. The breakfast is traditional Japanese breakfast on the 4th floor. We love the ASO milk which was very creamy to our taste. There is a good space of parking on this property which is a plus. The have a housekeeping everyday. If you need to send out your heavy luggage, they have Yamato services as well. Staff do not speak English but its doable and they did their best to help us and communicate well. Kumamoto is a nice place to stay and will definitely go back if I have a chance to visit again.
