Not bad, location is central (close to the main attraction of Kumamoto Castle). The soundproofing is poor though, got woken up at 5am by next door's vibrating phone/people coughing. Cute decorations in the lobby.

I had a really nice stay at REF Kumamoto by VESSEL HOTELS. The room was clean, comfy, and had everything I needed. The location was convenient, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The whole place felt relaxed and well kept. I’d definitely stay here again.

Right on a lively street, it's great! Perfect for a stroll or doing anything else. There's also a constant flow of people. Games, snacks, izakayas, and a convenience store are all downstairs. The service is also very sweet. Environment: 👌 Service: 👌 Hygiene: 👌 Facilities: 👌

The hot spring was fantastic! Outdoor and open-air, plus free popsicles. Only one pillow in the room though, that's a thumbs down.

Great location. The hotel is right in the middle of major area. The hotel pays part of the parking fee at nearby lot. Many famous restaurants close to the hotel. The common area setup real nice. Free soft-drink, coffee, coco. The water pressure in the shower is great.

Decent-sized room and nicely furbished; Amazing location for food, transport, shopping, tram. Literally a 7-11 at your doorstep. Public bath was amazing, even has outdoor bath; Lounge available for working (after 3pm) and provides drinks and good wifi; Professional service and attitude from hotel staff. Would stay again 10/10
