Guest UserSince 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.

Anonymous UserStayed 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.

The hotel is located very close to near to the train station with AEON Mall just across the road. The hotel also provides sufficient parking space for guests. We appreciated the hospitality and professional services provided by the hotel staff. For the American breakfast, it’s yummy with various drinks. The hotel also provides free welcome drinks starting at 1600 hrs for guests. In terms of cost effectiveness, it’s ranked highest.

Guest UserWhen we arrived at the hotel, we couldn't find a parking spot, and then one of the staff members—I think Elly—helped us tremendously to find a parking spot. The staff is very helpful and super friendly.
The hotel is centrally located.
It is very quiet in the hotel itself. The surroundings are also extremely quiet, so we were able to sleep well. The beds were very good.
One minor downside is that they didn't offer drinking water. So you had to get it yourself, and the 7-Eleven was around the corner, so that wasn't really a huge problem.
We enjonyed our stay. Thank you!

ibatulanandThe 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

Anonymous UserWe had a pleasant stay at HOTEL MYSTAYS Kumamoto Riverside. The hotel is conveniently located near the city center, making it easy to explore Kumamoto Castle, shopping streets, and local restaurants. The riverside setting also provided a nice atmosphere, especially in the evening.
The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with the amenities needed for a short stay. The staff were friendly and professional, and the check-in process was smooth and efficient.
The reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the room space was a bit limited for travelers with larger luggage. However, everything was well-maintained and functional, so it did not significantly impact our stay.
Overall, HOTEL MYSTAYS Kumamoto Riverside offers great value, a convenient location, and reliable service. We would happily stay here again when visiting Kumamoto.

Having lived in Japan for over ten years, I have to commend this hotel. It far exceeded my expectations.
1. Right outside the door is the largest local bus terminal, making it incredibly convenient to get to the airport, Aso, Amakusa, and Fukuoka.
2. The price is half or even less than half of surrounding hotels. I originally had no expectations, thinking it would just be a cheap place to crash.
3. While the hallway decor looks a bit dated, it perfectly aligns with the MUJI団地 (housing complex) design philosophy. You even use a traditional key to open the door.
4. Although the room has an old-style Japanese business hotel decor, it's exceptionally clean and very spacious. The room design is well-thought-out, making it comfortable and secure to use.
5. Both check-in and check-out at the front desk were handled with meticulous care and polite, professional service. This is something even much more expensive hotels I've stayed at elsewhere often fail to deliver.
6. I stayed here for five consecutive nights and had a great experience. I would definitely choose this hotel again for future family trips.

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.

it's like a joint management with the hot water forest hotel.
My parents stayed at the Yunomori Hotel side and compared the room there was quite a difference
My room had no bath, the oldness of the Showa period, the old tatami mats, and the fragrance were Showa
The twin room of my parents was renovated and the unit bus was shiny and the tatami mats and futon beds were nice
Still, I'm good because I'm OK in both.
The public bath was large, the room was quiet and we were able to stay slowly
I want to use it again
