Yaoji Hakata Hotel

Facilities: It's an older hotel, so the facilities are quite dated. Cleanliness: Overall good, pretty clean. Environment: Not far from JR, so it's quite convenient. Service: Very good. They allowed me to store my luggage in advance, and the staff were friendly. The best part is the free access to the sauna next door, which is a real bargain and excellent value for money.

The room was very spacious, which is rare for a Japanese hotel – we could easily fit two 28-inch suitcases. The facilities were complete; though a bit older, everything was very clean. The best part was the natural hot spring – it was clean and large, never feeling crowded even during busy times. It's a simple, no-frills bathhouse, but the natural hot spring water was impeccably clean. The hotel is also very close to Hakata Station, just a five-minute walk. I would definitely consider staying here again next time. Excellent value for money.

The location is excellent, only a 5-10 minute walk to Hakata JR Station, and it's easy to find places to eat nearby. Facilities: Pretty good. Hygiene: Very good, very clean. Environment: Great, with a natural hot spring bath. Service: The staff are also very enthusiastic.
