Kumamoto City Hotels with Wifi

Because my bookings were split, my second reservation was for a superior room instead of a deluxe room. However, since it was on a higher floor, the bathroom odor was gone. The room was slightly smaller than the deluxe, but still acceptable. So, I'd recommend trying to get a high-floor room if possible. The parking lot near the hotel is excellent, costing 1200 yen from 3 PM until 11 AM the next day. You can ask the hotel for a discount coupon. When checking out, insert the parking ticket first to calculate the fee, then insert the discount coupon, and finally pay with cash. The ramen shop across from the hotel is quite good too.

I was very satisfied with this hotel. The location is excellent, with countless delicious food options nearby, and the environment is very pleasant. It's perfect for family trips or business travel. I will definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Japan.

This hotel is super luxurious and incredibly close to the train station, literally a one-minute walk. We stayed in a luxury suite, which came with complimentary cocktails. There's a bartender on the first floor to mix drinks for you, and on the fourth floor, you can mix your own. The fourth floor also has plenty of instant noodles, nuts, and more. The bathroom and shower are separate (wet/dry design), and there's even a small room where insomniacs can watch movies. It has two large beds, plus a sofa bed that can also be made up with bedding.

Since I had a 7-day JR Pass, proximity to a JR station was my top priority for this trip. The hotel is very close to the JR station, and it seems to attract a lot of business travelers. My initial impression was that some of the younger staff at check-in lacked a bit of enthusiasm. But I let that slide. After getting to my room, I couldn't find the Wi-Fi password anywhere. I went downstairs specifically to ask, and the response was 'in room'. I still tried to figure it out myself first, searching every corner, but still nothing. So I went back down. The older staff member was very friendly and helpful. As soon as she mentioned 'TV', I immediately understood, as many hotels back home display it on the television. She even drew a diagram to explain! Usually, when you enter a room and the power comes on, the TV turns on automatically, and you'd see it. But this time, I had to turn the TV on myself, which I hadn't thought of. It just goes to show that service attitudes can vary among different staff. In Japan, I've always admired the professionalism across all industries, but this was the first time I've encountered such a service attitude from a staff member. Overall, this hotel's proximity to the JR station and its excellent value for money make it worth staying at.

Stayed at Dormy Inn again. The Kumamoto Dormy Inn is right opposite the Sakuramachi Bus Terminal, making it super convenient for shopping (there's a tax-free Montbell!) or getting around by bus or tram. Besides the complimentary late-night ramen and ice cream, the breakfast offers a great variety of local dishes. The Takana Meshi, Taihei-en, and Ikinari Dango (highly recommended!) were all first-time tries for me. If you're staying multiple nights and need room cleaning, remember to inform the front desk.

During our two-night stay, the room was well-maintained and comfortable. In-room amenities are highly practical, featuring a refrigerator, microwave, and washing machine. Please note that daily housekeeping is minimal, consisting only of fresh towel replacements unless your stay is longer. On-site parking is limited and priced at 1,500 yen per day; however, the staff will gladly direct you to an adjacent public parking lot, which is an excellent alternative capped at 600 yen per entry.

The hotel room was good but I felt there were not all the amenities which you would expect at a business hotel, esp the morning routine kit - tooth brush, shaving kit, comb, etc. You can optionally choose to have breakfast at the hotel for which you need to pay (unless it’s included in your booking), but the breakfast isn’t that great tbh. So, it felt a little overpriced for the view and amenities it offered. The best part was the location, as it’s right in the center and has easy access to the shopping streets nearby and also to the Bus Terminal. Overall, a decent business hotel to stay in.

The tea cup in the room was not clean, i wish the hotel payed more attention to that. The hotel itself is very close to the station and the breakfasts are good, I've been there twice and each time the food was a little different. The staff at reception desk is very helpful

Pros: 1. The hotel is directly opposite Kumamoto Castle, making it very convenient for sightseeing. It's also close to Kumamoto's Kamimachi area. 2. The views are excellent. From the 10th-floor restaurant, you can see Kumamoto Castle, and there's a free self-service beverage machine for unlimited drinks. 3. The room size is generous; a 26-inch suitcase can open completely. The facilities are new and very clean, and the service is good. Cons: The streets are very dark at night, and it's quite a distance to the nearest convenience store.

Overall, a fantastic stay! I really appreciated the complimentary drinks and the spacious bathtub in the room. The service was excellent, and I'll definitely be returning for another visit. My only minor critique is that the location isn't the most convenient, but despite that, I found the overall experience to be very satisfactory.
