9h nine hours Properties in Fukuoka

This was a very clean hotel. The shower room and toilet were well-maintained and comfortable. I also noticed that many of the guests were foreign nationals, which was interesting. The facilities seemed very modern and well-equipped, with QR code check-in and even a QR code for the security box. It's also close to Hakata Station, so I would definitely want to stay here again.

This place is super convenient as it's directly connected to the subway station. After midnight, some exits are restricted, but once you're above ground, there's a convenience store, and just a short walk leads to plenty of restaurants and shops. It's only one subway stop from Tenjin Station, so it's a great base no matter where you're headed. If you stay multiple nights, you can use the lockers for free, which is perfect for storing large suitcases. They clean the beds daily. They also provide amenities like loungewear, slippers, and towels. The in-facility Wi-Fi doesn't reach the beds, so you might need your own mobile hotspot. Food is only allowed in the area next to the front desk. If you have a busy schedule and just need a place to sleep at night, this is a good option.

Booked Wellcabin on a whim. It's near the Tenjin-Minami exit of the Nanakuma Line, tucked away down a small alley (see attached photo, enter the alley next to Yang Guo Fu) and then a 2-minute walk along the river after turning right. It was a bit hard to find at first, but the location is super convenient, right next to the El Gala shopping mall and close to the city center, Tenjin. Check-in required a 200 yen tax. I booked a semi-private cabin on the first floor, room 96, which was almost at the very end and the quietest. All the facilities are quite new, nothing like a typical budget hotel. It was very quiet at night, and the free WiFi was fast and smooth. There are three private showers and two washrooms. The second floor has a smoking area and a laptop/work area, while the third floor is a large dormitory-style room with dozens of people in one hall. If I had to nitpick, the mattress was a bit firm, and there was only one pillow which was a bit flat. Many people started getting up between 6:30 and 7:00 AM. Check-out is at 11:00 AM. But for 160 yen per night, I have no complaints whatsoever; the value for money is exceptional. Perfect for solo male travelers on a budget.
