3-Star Hotels in Saga Prefecture, Japan

I really loved my stay at Ureshino Onsen Taishoya. The hot spring was amazingly smooth, the rooms were clean and beautiful, and the staff were so warm and attentive. A truly relaxing and memorable experience — I would love to come back again. ♨️

I recently stayed at Hotel R9 and had a pleasant experience, giving it an overall rating of 4 out of 5. I highly recommend this hotel, especially for short stays like overnight visits. The unique concept of individual container rooms at Hotel R9 adds a touch of novelty to the experience. While the rooms may not be spacious enough for two males sharing a double room, they are still comfortable for couples. I found the rooms to be clean and well-maintained, earning a perfect 5 out of 5 for cleanliness. Although Hotel R9 lacks fancy facilities like hot spring pools, swimming pools, and saunas, it does provide a convenient laundry room. This is particularly useful for solo and family travelers on a long trip but with a short stay at the hotel. Additionally, the hotel offers the option to soak in a hot water bath, which is especially rejuvenating when feeling tired. In terms of facilities, Hotel R9 falls slightly short with a rating of 3 out of 5. However, considering its focus on providing a comfortable and unique stay, the overall experience compensates for the limited facilities. The hotel's location is excellent, receiving a perfect 5 out of 5 rating when driving. As for the service, while it was generally good, there is room for improvement, leading to a rating of 4 out of 5. In conclusion, Hotel R9 is a great choice for travelers seeking a short, convenient stay. With its clean rooms, excellent location for drivers, and a range of practical amenities, it offers a pleasant experience overall.

An Ideal Hotel for Both Leisure and Business Trips Conveniently situated right in front of Imari Station (about a 1-minute walk from the JR side), this hotel boasts an exceptionally convenient location for both leisure and business guests. Furthermore, it features an on-site hot spring facility that guests can use for free. Additional welcome perks include complimentary drinks available after check-in and breakfast, offering a truly valuable and pleasant experience.

We chose to stay here because hotels in Fukuoka were very expensive, and since we had the JR Pass, this location right beside the Tosu station was super convenient. The room was very clean, and the facilities were great — especially the included breakfast! It was a wonderful chance to try local Japanese dishes, and I really enjoyed it. The breakfast starts as early as 6:30am, which was very thoughtful — I still remember rushing to catch the 6:50am train to Fukuoka after eating, and I even had 5 minutes to spare, haha! Staff were friendly and helpful, though English communication was a bit more limited — probably because it’s not a major station area. Still, everyone had a great attitude and tried their best. Overall, a very satisfying stay!

This hot spring inn boasts a tranquil environment, clean and tidy rooms, and a very relaxing stay. The location is convenient and easy to find, the staff are very polite and provide detailed explanations of the facilities. The hot spring facilities are well-maintained, the water quality is pleasant, and the overall amenities are comprehensive. For a couple's vacation, the atmosphere and value are both satisfactory, making for a very smooth and enjoyable stay.

We had a wonderful stay here. The room was exceptionally clean, modern, and felt very new and cosy. Despite being right beside the train station, the area was surprisingly quiet and peaceful at night. The staff were exceptionally friendly and nice throughout our stay. A huge plus was the large lounge area, which was the perfect spot for us to gather, hang out, and chat late into the night. Highly recommend!

It was raining on the day we checked in, and there wasn't much shelter at the hotel entrance, so we got wet while unloading our luggage. The room facilities showed signs of age, but the cleanliness was acceptable. The hot springs have indoor and outdoor sections, but the showering areas lack privacy. It was fine with fewer people, but with more, everyone would get wet from each other. The dinner buffet was average. There were also tour groups from Southeast Asia and Korea staying that night, so the restaurant was very crowded with people queuing. Luckily, I went to the hot spring right after checking in at noon, otherwise, it would have been packed at night. Overall, I don't think it offers great value for money at this price.

Pros: Very close to Takeo Onsen Station, practically door-to-door. There's a hot spring on the 8th floor, though it's on the smaller side. The breakfast has a good variety, but it can get very crowded. You can borrow bicycles, which saves you from walking. Cons: I mistakenly booked a smoking room, and it smelled heavily of smoke – something to be aware of if you're sensitive to that. The soundproofing is poor; the noise from housekeeping outside my door was very loud, and I couldn't get any sleep, especially since I had a fever.

Escaping the high hotel prices in Fukuoka on a Saturday, I took the subway for an hour and a half to Karatsu and chose this hostel. The experience was great. It's in a small city, just a five-minute walk from JR Karatsu Station. The front desk had instruction manuals, and the staff's English was fine. The check-in iPad supported Chinese. The room had two separate restrooms and one shower room. The bunk was spacious enough, with a small individual locker for valuables. Everyone was very quiet, hardly making any noise. With earplugs in, I slept a full eight hours.
