Prince Smart Inn Hakata

The hotel room was quite spacious for Japanese standards, and it even came with an AI assistant. It's relatively close to Hakata Station, but still a bit of a walk. Check-in is self-service, but there's a bell to call staff anytime you need assistance. The breakfast portions were quite small.

The room was spotless and the bathroom had a great wet/dry separation. The soundproofing was excellent, making for a very quiet night. The onigiri served in the morning was delicious! Overall, a fantastic experience. I'll definitely choose to stay here again if I come back to Fukuoka!!

The location is excellent, about a 5-minute walk from Hakata Station. I thought the room would be very small, but it was actually fine; we could open two large suitcases at the same time. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, and the cleanliness and soundproofing were both excellent. The best part is that it was cheap and included breakfast, with different burgers every day. The only downside was that there was no kettle in the room; we had to go to the front desk on the 2nd floor for hot water. There's also an electronic scale to avoid overweight baggage. After checking out, we asked the front desk to book a taxi for us to the airport, which took about 10 minutes and cost 1800 yen. We got to experience Japan's taxi service again. The whole trip was perfect and smooth!

The location is pretty good, quite close to Hakata Station. The room was relatively clean, though typically small for Japan. There are several convenience stores downstairs, which is very convenient. The free breakfast was a definite plus! You can even take it to go, which is super handy if you're heading out early.

This was my first time in Fukuoka, and I chose a hotel I'd previously stayed at in Okinawa. First, the good points: it's very smart, the check-in process is simple, and there's free breakfast. The restaurant is outsourced, so the food is quite good (I ate their rice burgers two mornings in a row!). The downside is that the room is really small; it felt a bit cramped for two people.

Self check-in and check-out are available, and the hotel also provides lockers for luggage storage.
