The OneFive Marine Fukuoka

It's quite close to the international convention center, about an 8-minute walk. It's also around a 10-minute walk to Nakasu Subway Station. The area is relatively quiet. Check-in is on the 10th floor, where you can also pick up toiletries. For check-out, you can just drop your key card in the box inside the elevator.

Facilities: A relatively new hotel, small but has everything you need. Hygiene: Very well maintained and clean. Environment: The surroundings are a bit out of the way, but you can reach the main road with just a short walk. Service: The hotel reception is on the top floor, and the service is very warm and welcoming. They even offer free bath salts, which is a great touch. Highly recommended!

The guy at the front desk, who seemed to be Indian or Nepalese, let us check in over an hour early, which was great. Laundry and dryers are on the 10th floor, and it seems like the front desk, toiletries, pajamas, and coffee are all up there too. It's a bit inconvenient that there's no free luggage storage; they have lockers on the 1st floor that cost 500 JPY. For checkout, you just drop your room card into a box in the elevator. To get here, you transfer one or two stops from Nakasu-Kawabata to Gofukumachi Station, then it's about a 10-minute walk. There's a convenience store nearby.

Located in a residential area, it feels very local. The hotel provides a wide range of toiletries. There are dining options just a stone's throw away, with authentic local izakayas offering better prices than the business district. A 24-hour convenience store is a 5-minute walk and is very affordable. I would definitely stay here again.
