Like all the other reviews here, Forza’s location can’t be beaten. Its literally less than 1 min walk from the airport bus stop. The popular Hakata Station is also within a minute walk. The location alone earns the hotel a 5 star. 

Checking in and out of hotel was also an ease. The staff at the counter was helpful and friendly. A bag of toiletries was also prepared for my 8 yr old with kiddy slippers, which was much appreciated. 

The room was decent size, we chose the 豪華雙人房  (19 sq m I think?) with a mini couch area – perfect for backpacks, a window, and a portable massage mat. I loved the magnets that we can stick to the door to let the cleaners know whether or not our room needs to be cleaned. What’s more is that there is an option to choose “Take out trash and change towels only”. This is a really thoughtful option, because we really don’t need our room to be made up every day. And it’s perfect that we can just have the trash taken out and towels changed. 

I was a bit nervous about the cleanliness of the hotel rooms after reading some of the reviews on here, especially when I have a kid with me. I don’t want her to get sick from the germs in the room. But to my surprise, the room was quite decent, atleast I didn’t see any visible dustballs or dirty air con ventilators. Maybe because the hotel already took action to clean all the rooms and air con vents after reading some of the reviews here about dirty air con vents? I took a photo of our room air con vents for parents to take a look =) The air purifier in the room was also very comforting. We stayed in Forza for 6 days and none of us got sick =D 

For the first 2 days, I did smell a bit of a urine smell when you kneel close to the carpet/toilet. It was a slight faint smell. By the 3rd day, there wasn’t much noticeable smell anymore, not sure if it was the air purifier that helped or if we got use to it. Hahaha. 

On one of the nights that we returned to the hotel, we noticed that the cleaners had forgotten to put a trash bag back into the trash can. So I called reception and told them. The suited man that came with a trash bag didn’t seem too friendly. He looked like he either didn’t want to be there, didn’t know what he needed to do, or that we are trying to cheat him of a plastic bag. Anyway, I had to explain that I need a trash bag because I didn’t want to make the trash can dirty. I even had to SHOW him the trash can to convince him why I needed a bag. When he finally saw the empty trash can, he gave us a plastic bag, and left an extra one inside the trash can. He didn’t seem too pleased that I was trying to help protect the hotel’s assets, he just looks as if I disturbed his night. 

The shower head took some time to get use to too. Normally shower heads will be placed at a slight angle, but the shower heads in our room shoots straight at a 90 degree angle, which was quite hard to use coz the water will be shooting directly at your chest, and you would need to kneel down a bit to wash your hair, otherwise you would need to hold the shower head with one hand, while washing with the other hand. It’s a bit hard to explain, so I took some photos to show. But you will know what I mean when you stay at the hotel. 

Anyway, overall the stay was still very pleasant. I will definitely choose Forza again the next time I visit Fukuoka. Thank you Forza.

Pros:
1. The location is super convenient, just about a five-minute walk from the Hakata subway station.
2. The bedding is really comfortable, there's a massage device, they provide mineral water daily, and housekeeping is prompt. The cleaning staff were very polite.
3. Other amenities are also comprehensive; there's a coffee machine on the first floor.

Cons:
1. This hotel gets a lot of guests. Maybe they've been spoiled by too many good online reviews. When I checked in, no one paid attention to me and told me to use the machine myself. Only when my passport wouldn't scan did someone come over to take a look, then they rushed me to pay the taxes. The next day, I found an overcharge on my bill. When I went to the front desk for a refund, they told me I had entered the number of guests myself, and that the backend clearly showed how many passports were registered. The booking stated 'up to two people,' but I was actually staying alone.
2. The first room they gave me faced a bunch of machinery when I opened the window. I mentioned I'd be staying for three nights and hoped it wouldn't be too noisy. Then followed a long wait for them to consult, and eventually, they switched me to a slightly better room.
3. There's a male staff member at the front desk with a really bad attitude.
4. Regardless of other hotel services, the basic job is to properly check in guests. Not being able to check me in and then overcharging, plus not even providing the branded key card holder – the brand must be disappointed.
5. The cleaning in the corners wasn't very thorough. There was even a bloodstain on the bathroom door. Housekeeping didn't wipe it, and I was too lazy to mention it; maybe it was intentionally left for guests to see.

I'd stayed at this chain in another city before and it was excellent, which is why I chose it again. All I can say is, I'm speechless.

This hotel boasts an excellent location, right across from Hakata Station, just a few minutes' walk away. The room itself was very spacious, and the bed was wider than what you usually find in other hotels. On the day we checked out, the hotel was closing for a few days, so we couldn't store our luggage. We didn't see any notice about this when we booked, which was really inconvenient since it was our last day in Fukuoka and we had done a lot of shopping. On top of that, the front desk staff weren't very friendly.

This is my second stay here, and it offers great value for money with clean rooms. This time I came with my son, and we booked two separate rooms without any hesitation. The hotel's location is excellent; although it's a bit of a walk to the Midosuji Line, it's a straightforward walk down one street from the hotel, and there are FamilyMart and Lawson convenience stores along the way.

The hotel provides various luggage forwarding services, like Airporter and sending luggage to your next hotel, which are very convenient. The front desk staff are incredibly helpful, answering every question and providing hands-on instructions.

This time, I had a late flight. After checking out in the morning, I stored my luggage. When I returned around 6 PM, the hotel front desk was still able to help me fully charge my devices, and I used the restroom before heading out. Their service truly stands out among chain hotels.

The bed is large and comfortable, though the pillow was a bit high. The air conditioning allows you to adjust both heating and cooling. Most importantly, the smoke detector above the bed doesn't have a red light, which is perfect for light and sound-sensitive sleepers.

We had been stayed here for 5 nights. The check in process is quite fast and easy and check out is automated process through the machine at the reception .  It is basic room come with with basic amenities as expected . Room is small but is fit either 2 people and 2 big luggage. The drilling point is superb location . The shopping street and food street just at down stair and near by. About 500m walk to namba station or shinsaibashi station . Good for value especially in peak season

My stay at **HOTEL FROZA SAPPORO STATION** was absolutely delightful and perfect for a solo traveller. The hotel is in a **great location**, just a few minutes’ walk from **JR Sapporo Station**, which makes it super convenient for getting around the city and exploring nearby attractions. There are also plenty of restaurants, cafés, and shops close by, so everything you need is within easy reach.  

The **room was clean, cozy, and well-designed**, ideal for a solo guest. It had everything I needed — comfortable bed, spotless bathroom, and practical amenities like a kettle and charging ports. The atmosphere felt peaceful and safe, making it great for relaxing after a day of sightseeing.  

The **hotel staff were friendly, professional, and very helpful**, always greeting guests with warm smiles and offering assistance when needed. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy, which I really appreciated.  

Overall, HOTEL FROZA SAPPORO STATION offers an excellent balance of comfort, location, and service. It’s a fantastic choice for solo travellers looking for convenience and a clean, quiet place to stay near JR Sapporo. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city alone!
