Grand Base Moji Nagomi

Nice self-check in hotel; door code is sent on day of check in. Hotel was nice, comfortable bed with free parking for 3 cars upfront. I had to chase for the door code as I didn’t want to arrive when it’s dark and struggle with the entry. It was sent to me with the help of Trip customer support. There is lift so no problem with my heavy luggage. Unlike other Grand Base hotels, this one has no laundry, no washing machine, no cooking stove, no utensils, just one kettle, 4 cups, one microwave and one fridge. Carpet had visible stains so not clean.

This is not a hotel, homestay to be more exact , but it the entire block , maybe 9 room in small building that is dedicated for tourist stay purpose, so I guess semi hotel semi homestay. First of all, there is no one in the building that is going to welcome , greet or say hello to you, You be given pin to enter, self check in process and go to your room. From outside it look small, but as soon I got in my room, this is the largest room I stayed in my entire trip to to Kyushu. There is enough space for my kids to run around, so you imagine that, is even larger than most studio apartment and come with large screen tv, fridge, simple cooking, oven, and etc, almost like a resident home. At first I am still skeptical about non hotel stay in Japan, but after this I am very confident, I looking forward again my stay with Grand Base. Don't worry about the location , just within 10 minute walk away from the station, so If we can do it with luggage and 2 kids, I think most people can do it with confidence.
