Hotels near Sawara Ward, Fukuoka

The hotel is perfect — clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff are great and very helpful, and the amenities provided are excellent. The location is ideal, with convenience stores (konbini) just a short walk away, making everything easy and accessible. Overall, a very pleasant stay and I would definitely recommend this hotel.

I stayed here for two nights right after landing in Fukuoka, and even as a solo traveler, the room felt incredibly cramped. I quickly switched hotels on the third day. The room was tiny and dated, giving off a vibe reminiscent of a guesthouse from the last century. You basically stepped out of the door and were immediately at the bed. My suitcase could only perch precariously on a folding luggage rack. The cleanliness was mediocre. The bathroom seemed quite clean and looked like it had been thoroughly scrubbed, but the room walls were very dirty with black marks. It wasn't until I opened my suitcase and its wheels rubbed against the wall that I realized where those black marks came from. Even though it was a non-smoking floor, the air in the room wasn't great. After just one night, my tonsils became inflamed. Those with sensitivities should definitely avoid this place. Toiletries and bathrobes were self-service in the lobby downstairs. The small packets of toner and lotion were surprisingly good, and the compressed exfoliating mitt was also quite useful. Drinking water wasn't provided, but there was a self-service laundry room. The hotel's location is pretty good, though. Le Labo is directly across the street, and there are many trendy shops and restaurants nearby. Tenjin shopping district is also within walking distance. It was quite cheap when I booked it, so I won't complain too much. It's suitable for backpackers.

Generally comfortable.. But walls are rather thin, room is dated and small. Room's WiFi was ok, but I could not access my mobile data network well in my room.

I had a comfortable stay! It was good that the toilet and the bathroom were separate. However, the drainage in the bathroom was not good and it took several minutes for the water to drain away. Maybe the drain was clogged? For example, hair gets tangled up in it, right? Other than that, the air conditioning in the room was convenient and there were no problems, and the location was good.

This accommodation offers incredible value for money! It's an older Japanese-style hotel. First, let's talk about the room. The price is very affordable compared to hotels in Tenjin and Hakata, and the room size is quite large for Japan. The tatami mat area can sleep two people, and there's also a double bed, so it's more than enough space for three guests. You can spread out your belongings on the tatami. There are extra linens in the cupboard. Next, for transportation, you get off at Ohori Park Station on the K Airport Line. It's an easy five to six-minute walk. We bought a one-day subway pass, and it paid for itself with just two rides a day. Living next to the park means the environment is excellent – quiet and natural. We could stroll through Maizuru Park and Ohori Park anytime, enjoying the ginkgo and maple leaves daily. Every day, the walk to the subway station offered the most natural and beautiful scenery. Finally, let's discuss the food. This place includes breakfast, and the rice balls 🍙 are delicious, wrapped in huge bamboo shoot husks. Coffee is free 🆓 during breakfast and check-in times, with various coffee drinks available, making you feel right at home. Everything was great. It's perfect for budget-conscious travelers. The only minor drawback is that the soundproofing is a bit lacking.

I've been staying at this hotel for over a decade, which is hard to believe! When I first came to Japan over ten years ago, this was the cheapest option, costing around 200 yen. It's still pretty much the same price now. I particularly like their Japanese-style rooms because you can roll around on the futon without falling off. 😂😂😂 The building is quite old, and the decor is a bit dated, but it's always well-maintained and clean. I love the huge, old-fashioned AC unit mounted on the wall; it's almost silent but surprisingly effective at both cooling and heating. The bathroom is tiny, sometimes it's even a bit difficult to squat down on the toilet. However, the amenities provided are quite good, like the full POLA product line. The location is also very convenient. If you like strolling through Ohori Park, it's just a short walk away. Tsurumai Park, a great spot for cherry blossom viewing, is also very close. As for breakfast, it used to be a selection of homemade traditional Japanese dishes. Now, it's been simplified to just a bread and a cup of coffee, so I don't bother with it anymore. Given that the price hasn't changed in years while living costs have steadily increased, I can understand that they're likely cutting costs.

The room was generally clean and tidy, with a normal size for this type of hotel and a practical layout. The bedding was comfortable, leading to good sleep quality, and the soundproofing was decent, so I wasn't disturbed much at night. All the in-room facilities, including the air conditioning, hot water, water pressure, and Wi-Fi, worked perfectly fine for daily use. The bathroom was very clean, and the wet/dry separation design was convenient. The only minor drawback was that some of the facilities seemed a bit dated (or: the room lighting was a bit dim / there weren't enough power outlets, depending on the actual situation), but this didn't significantly impact the overall stay. Overall, it offers good value for money and is suitable for short stays or business trips.

If you're traveling solo and want to stay in Tenjin, this is a great location and price. The room condition is perfect for a solo stay, and there's a convenience store, 3Sarang Mart, and a department store nearby, making it conveniently located. I highly recommend it.

This location is great for self-driving tours, and the environment is very peaceful. Since it's newly opened, the facilities are, of course, in excellent condition. It's close to Fukuoka Tower and the sea, offering fantastic views!

Strange hotel / apartment, it’s very large and spacious but not much to fill the space and doesn’t have a very homely or comfy vibe. Rooms were clean though and there was everything you needed from an apartment. Staff at reception were very welcoming but didn’t seem to have the same urgency to help as other places I’ve visited in Japan. The location was fantastic for our sightseeing and sporting needs. We had a short walk to the Fukuoka Dome to watch baseball and short walks to other sightseeing spots, including the beach. Public transport was also very close by and convenient.
