Via Inn Hakataguchi Ekimae

The location of the hotel is wonderful ! it is nearby everything from restaurant, sightseeing, shopping and JR train or bus stop. The facilities of the hotel is simple yet VERY WELL ORGANIZED !!! the hotel is VERY CLEAN and staff are helpful. We travel in a group of 7 people and booked 7 rooms for 7 nights. Hotel staff is very kind and arrange us all on the SAME FLOOR. it is very convenience for us to mingle around. The sound proof ability between room is FANTASIC ! though we laugh in room, my neighbour in the next door hear nothing.

After a long flight and resulting jet lag, we were so glad to stay in this very comfortable, spacious (Twin Room) and clean hotel at a reasonable price compared to hotels closer to the station. But walking a few minutes more will save you money and get you a more spacious room here. We asked for a high floor and our request was granted.

1. The location was great. Near the main station of HAKATA. (very convenient whether you travel from Fukuoka airport by bus or by subway to Hakata) They allowed us to store the luggage before check in time. You can get some toiletries/amenities eg: tooth brushes, tea, coffee at the hotel lobby. 2. Room was spacious (type A), and super clean. Water pressure very good. Room comes with air purifier/ humidifier. I like their idea of changing your bedsheet every 3 days as their routine. 3. Set Japanese breakfast for 1,300¥ is a good options for me.

We enjoyed the short walk to the station to the trains and buses that take you to all the tourist destinations. A nice quiet hotel close to some good local restaurants. There are coin op washing/drying machines. The room was quite small but adequate, the bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was excellent. We very much enjoyed our 2 night stay and can highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is very well located: easy to find and very close to the JR station. The room was comfortable and spotlessly clean, and very quiet at night. It's a business hotel and western guests may expect a bigger room, but in Japan it's usual for rooms to be smaller. I found it very comfortable and have no complaints. It's also very easy to walk into the old district of Fukuoka, which is lovely, as well as the Canal City shopping district nearby.
