Hotels near Sojo University, Kumamoto City

It was the most impressive accommodation to rest and live in this trip for me. The price is reasonable. Staff/ owner is very helpful and kind. She introduced me about her own place even I arrived hostel quite late. Her decoration and facility is superb. The kitchen has a lot of stuffs that traveler will be need. It feels like living at home but in the hostel. Location is good to locate near the tram. Also, common room, roof top, the bathroom are nice to rest. The private room (bedroom) is not too small - too big but it was very cozy to stay and manage your stuffs. I can do a little morning stretching in there. Love it! highly recommended for girls and other travellers 💗

Convenient location and nice front desk service staffs. Great amenities too. Recommended place for couples

Hotel is clean, there are two parking for u that is link to hotel. One is directly same building and cost 1800 . D other one opposite hotel building and cost 1200. Shower pressure is one of the best.

Location of this hotel is good with close distance to nearby shopping malls and Kumamoto Castle. General cleanliness of the room is good except that the air filter of the inner ventilation system needs “deep” cleaning. Services of staff are good and I highly recommend for all of you looking for a value-for-money hotel in Kumamoto city centre.

Love this hotel. Location is fantastic. Just next to the Kumamoto train, tram and bus station. Booked the lifestyle room, with 2 double bed and a sofa bed for 3 adults and comes with access to 4th floor for unlimited liquor, soft drinks, juice, tea, nuts and instant noodles. However, orange juice ran out on 3rd day and dispenser dispense super diluted juice. Anyway small matter. Toilet area is big (comparing to Japan standard), with split toilet, bathroom, wash basin, wardrobe and change area. Interestingly with see-through bathroom door. However, you can lock the entire toilet access. Room is clean and bed is comfortable. Price is also reasonable.

I recently had a one-night stay at Grids premium Hotel Kumamoto, and my husband and I were very pleased with my experience. The staff member was incredibly kind and upgraded us to a twin double bed room. It was my first time sleeping in a four-foot bed, and both my husband and I had a wonderful night's sleep. The room was impeccably clean, and the breakfast buffet was delightful with nice options. The showers had excellent water pressure, making for a refreshing start to the day. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to change the color of the slippers to light grey. The hotel's color scheme is primarily black, and I found it a bit challenging to locate my black slippers on the black carpet. Overall, it was a great value for a comfortable stay, and I would happily return!

Less than 5mins from the Kumamoto station (but note that the station is not close to the city centre). Room is clean, breakfast is free and good taste, the public bath is not large but still very relaxing.

🛍️ The hotel is conveniently located just behind SAKURA MACHI Kumamoto and is a mere 10-minute walk from the main shopping street. It is also surrounded by tram stations, making travel easy and accessible. 🚙 Although the hotel does not have its own parking lot, it offers discounts at nearby parking facilities. I found it more convenient, however, to park at the lot directly in front of the hotel for 1,400 Yen per night, which is almost the same price as the hotel's discounted options. 🛌 The room size is typical for a Japanese hotel with two twin beds, but the bathroom is slightly larger than average. The only downside is that one of the beds is positioned too close to the window, meaning you'll sleep near the curtain, which is a bit dusty.

Room was reasonably large. Free drinks 18:00 to 21:00. Large bath. Friendly staff. Try the hotel restaurant below ”Ryosai” for some sashimi (horse included)

I honestly do not know where to start, I booked the hotel without really knowing much about Kumamoto Prefecture. After arriving in Kumamoto City and then realising Ueki Onsen is another 40 minute bus ride I was thinking oh dear where am I staying. After arriving at the hotel I was greeted by the manager of the hotel who showed me to my room and gave me a tour of the facilities. Once settled in I realised there isn't great public transport around and I primarily wanted to see Beppu and Yufuin during my stay, I enquired with the manager on where I might be able to rent a car, with little to no Japanese language under my belt he took it upon himself to reserve a vehicle for me and offered to drive me himself to collect it. He then also said he would take me back to return it a few days later. After my trips to Beppu and Yufui village (Not to be missed) and not to miss the outstanding and beautiful surroundings in Uekimachi and the Aso region. The manager and I set off to return my hire car, on the way back he took me to Kikuchi shrine to pray and also gifted me coffee and cake. They also accommodated me with use of the on site onsen (amazing) after hours as I'm heavily tattooed. I feel truly grateful to have found this hidden gem of rural Japan and if you are thinking of traveling this great country I emplore you to go off the beaten path. I experienced untold kindness during my stay and have memories of a life time. Thank you so much guys
