[Best hotel for travel and business use]
Located in front of Imari Station (about 1 minute walk from JR side), it is convenient for travel and business use anyway.
In addition, there are many thankful elements such as hot spring facilities, free of charge for guests, and free drinks and breakfast after check-in.
Tiny room with an old and very small Queensize (??) bed. Everything seems to be really old, so does the dust in the corners of the room or of the ventilation in the bathroom.
Service was okay... we could convince them to leave our bicycles outside the hotel entrance (no way to leave them at the ”luggage storage” inside the lobby).
Drinks like coffee, hot chocolate, tea and soft drinks are for free. Microwave free. Also they have a bath house but no sauna for the girls - unfortunately.
Best option in town.
Finding a room of this size and at this price in Japan is incredibly rare. The sink area can be separated from the bed by a sliding door, and both the shower and toilet are in their own separate spaces.
The hotel service is very thoughtful and I-person friendly, largely self-service. They provide disposable chopsticks and spoons for free, and there's coffee in the lobby, along with amenities like a microwave. There's also a communal long table area for guests to eat or relax.
While you have to use the main entrance for check-in, you can then use a side door with a key card to quickly access the train, bus, or taxi stations, essentially teleporting you to the platform.
From here, buses can take you directly to two different hot springs in various directions nearby. There are also buses to the Sea Torii Gate and Inari Shrine. Knowing the timetable makes getting around very convenient.
Within a 10-minute walk, you'll also find drugstores, supermarkets, convenience stores, and Daiso.
The three-story building behind the bus in the picture is the hotel.
My stay at Ureshino Onsen Yoshidaya Uchiroji Hondori (also known as Yadoya Uchiroji Hondori) was a tale of two extremes in the charming hot spring town of Ureshino, Saga Prefecture.
The hotel was modern Japanese-style with smart check-in system. The twin room was spacious, impeccably clean, and exude serene comfort, making it a perfect retreat. The private onsen facilities truly shine— It was a free slot with 40 mins, which could be booked once via QR Code at the room. Ureshino's famous sodium-rich hot springs, renowned as one of Japan's top three for beautifying the skin, deliver silky-smooth water that leaves you feeling rejuvenated.
However, the meal plan was a major letdown. I sent an email to the hotel to confirm my booking and stated I did not eat beef before. The customer service replied I had to pay extra per person in order to change the meat option. For over JPY 38,000 per night including breakfast and dinner, we anticipated premium kaiseki cuisine or traditional served Japanese dinner set. Instead, only a bento box with cold salad and an underwhelming beef and egg pie that felt mismatched for the price. Tragically, my husband experienced vomiting shortly after, likely food-related, which overshadowed our trip. And the breakfast was also disappointing, which was only cold sandwiches with a cup of tea or milk.
Thus, I strongly recommend the hotel clearly states the exact contents of dinner and breakfast plans on booking sites—including detailed menus or photos—and offers flexible options, such as plan changes or alternatives, if guests fall ill from the food. This transparency and adaptability would greatly enhance the experience and prevent frustration.
The hotel is incredibly close to the train station, making the location super convenient. There are also lots of restaurants nearby, plus all sorts of little shops right inside the station, which is really nice.
We had a 4 night stay at Mercure Saga and had a wonderful time! The lobby is very spacious and beautifully presented. In the afternoon, they provided afternoon tea with snacks and complimentary drinks, which was a lovely touch.
We stayed in an ocean-view room with futon beds. It was very spacious and comfortable for our family of three. The breakfast buffet was definitely a highlight, there was such a wide variety of food to choose from!
The staff were incredibly friendly, polite, and welcoming throughout our stay. Special thanks as well to the Kudon services for their great hospitality.
Thank you again for such a pleasant stay. We were very impressed and will definitely come back again!
Just a 2-minute walk from JR station, located right on the shopping street with plenty of great food and shops nearby. The room was clean, and the service was warm and welcoming. They even have shared laundry machines, a dryer, microwave, and a fridge, which was a very thoughtful touch. Breakfast was simple, just milk and bread, but it tasted good. It would be even better if there were more options.
The hotel boasts an excellent location, offering incredibly convenient access for exploring both the city center and surrounding areas. The rooms are a good size, immaculately clean, and the housekeeping service is exceptionally thorough. Both the front desk and room service staff were very warm and attentive. The breakfast was also particularly delicious. This is definitely a highly recommended hotel.
English is very convenient, many English instructions, but the front desk staff's English is general, check-in is also self-service in English, you can ask if you mind. I lived opposite Mercure the day before. The sea view view is not as good as this river view (including Tangjin City view). It is very beautiful. There is a light view at night. There is a small public bath on the first floor. It is so pleasant! Cost-effective choice! The room is warm, there are some, interesting is that the refrigerator is also independent (with English instructions). I stayed for one night without room cleaning. This seems to be cleaned every three days. The garbage can be placed in the corridor. Many Japanese hotels are like this. There is a fast food restaurant next to it, walking distance to JR station, going out is the riverside, a good place to walk. There are (paid) bicycle rentals in the hotel instructions, I did not ask in detail. There are many self-collected items in the lobby, and the English logo has free coffee in the morning, but I left the store earlier and did not use it.
This was a truly beautiful and wonderful hotel. The moment I entered the lobby, I was immediately struck by the breathtaking view. The harmony between the ocean view and the pristine white hotel was truly impressive. Every single item was precious and luxurious. There was an indoor heated pool for the kids, and an outdoor hot spring pool for the adults. Surrounded by distant mountains, the swimming pool and the ocean seemed to be connected... It was fantastic. The food was top-notch, and everything was top-notch. I highly recommend it.

GGuest UserI recently stayed at Hotel R9 and had a pleasant experience, giving it an overall rating of 4 out of 5. I highly recommend this hotel, especially for short stays like overnight visits.
The unique concept of individual container rooms at Hotel R9 adds a touch of novelty to the experience. While the rooms may not be spacious enough for two males sharing a double room, they are still comfortable for couples. I found the rooms to be clean and well-maintained, earning a perfect 5 out of 5 for cleanliness.
Although Hotel R9 lacks fancy facilities like hot spring pools, swimming pools, and saunas, it does provide a convenient laundry room. This is particularly useful for solo and family travelers on a long trip but with a short stay at the hotel. Additionally, the hotel offers the option to soak in a hot water bath, which is especially rejuvenating when feeling tired. In terms of facilities, Hotel R9 falls slightly short with a rating of 3 out of 5. However, considering its focus on providing a comfortable and unique stay, the overall experience compensates for the limited facilities.
The hotel's location is excellent, receiving a perfect 5 out of 5 rating when driving. As for the service, while it was generally good, there is room for improvement, leading to a rating of 4 out of 5.
In conclusion, Hotel R9 is a great choice for travelers seeking a short, convenient stay. With its clean rooms, excellent location for drivers, and a range of practical amenities, it offers a pleasant experience overall.
Room is spacious and the river view from our room is very nice. However, the toilet is small. The breakfast buffet has a very good spread, and overall quality was good. There are also free drinks and snacks at a spacious lounge for customers at various times of the day. Parking is on the hotel ground and free.
The female dorm has a security entrance, so I felt safe staying here. There is a shopping area just behind the hotel, and lots of eateries available. The Kumamoto castle is also within walking distance. The washroom's cleanliness and amenities are tip top. There are no complaints. There is also a washing machine and dryer which is convenient if you need to do some laundry during your travels. There is also a female bath but I didn't have time so I have no comments on that. There was also a rest area for dining which is good for people who wants to eat take-away or convenience store foods. There is a hot water provider and microwave, but there was no drinking water supply. (I guess you'll need to buy bottled water, which in this case, there are several vending machines within the premise)
This hotel hosts many traveling workers. Rooms was small but clean. Location close to the train station. Frespo mall is a 5 minutes walk away. Free parking if you’re driving. Room comes with breakfast so that was good. Breakfast is local cuisine, which explains why local workers stay here. Receptionists were very helpful and spoke some English. All in all, I am a satisfied customer.
The hotel is located just outside of Takeo-onsen station, making it a great resting place for travelers who travel by JR. Free breakfast is good, though the time limit (30 mins) is a bit tight. Hotspring is relaxing, but a bit too small.
