4-Star Hotels in Fukuoka

"Traveling during summer vacation, my flight was delayed due to a typhoon, and I had booked an extra night at the hotel that couldn't be canceled. However, Ctrip staff handled it very well, for which I'm grateful. This hotel is a bit far from both Hakata Station and Hakata Bus Terminal. If you don't have luggage, walking is fine, but with luggage, I recommend taking a taxi. Didi (ride-hailing app) also works directly and costs around 48-50 RMB. The apartment is located in an alley with many izakayas (Japanese pubs) nearby, which is nice in the evening. The only hassle was checking in. We arrived around 2 PM, and the temperature in Fukuoka that day reached 38 degrees Celsius. The check-in process took a long time, and I was sweating profusely from the heat. However, once I entered the room, I forgave them 😂. Because the room was very spacious and the air conditioning was already on, it cooled down instantly. There was no problem opening two suitcases, and it even had a kitchenette with cutlery, including knives and forks, a washing machine, a refrigerator, a separate shower and toilet, and a balcony (for drying clothes). The soundproofing was also good; there was barely any noise at night, so I slept very comfortably. The Pola toiletries were also excellent. Right opposite the hotel is a 24-hour Sunny supermarket, which is incredibly convenient. You can buy groceries and easily cook something simple yourself, and the supermarket prices are cheaper than convenience stores. Also, the lidded trash can in the room is large, which is a great touch👌🏻. I saw some reviews saying the washing machine was difficult to use, but I found it very simple. I used it twice, and my clothes dried on the balcony in half a day. Having a washing machine in the room during summer is fantastic, as other hotels often charge extra for laundry. The hotel room door was a bit tricky to open 🤣; it took a while to figure out the double lock, which I guess is for security, so I understand. My child asked, 'What are such strong doors for?' Safety first, I guess ☺️. From a very unpleasant check-in experience, I became increasingly satisfied with this hotel and ended up extending my stay by two more nights. The price is moderate, averaging a little over 400 RMB per night. Overall, I highly recommend it."
