Hotels near Sumiyoshi Shrine, Fukuoka

Highly recommend this hotel in Fukuoka! • It's a brand new hotel (built in 2025). • Super convenient location right above the subway, and the attached mall is excellent. • The staff are incredibly friendly, and I was very impressed with the complimentary room service (all fridge drinks and alcohol are free) and free lounge access. • The room was clean, and I especially liked that it had hardwood floors instead of carpet, making it feel very fresh. • The windows open, which is great for ventilation. • You can get high-floor city views, and even a distant view of the sea and mountains. • The 12 PM checkout time gives you a bit more flexibility.

Worst hotel experience in a month of traveling Japan — avoid if you have other options I've been traveling across Japan for a full month — Osaka, Tokyo, Hiroshima and more — and Wellcabin Tenjin is hands down the worst service I've received anywhere. Made a simple booking mistake and reached out to correct it within 10 minutes — not the last day, not last minute, literally within 10 minutes of booking. I wasn't asking for a refund or a cancellation — I simply wanted to change the date and upgrade to a more private room, both of which would have benefited them financially. Still a flat out no. I petitioned multiple times, even with the support of the hotel booking agent advocating on my behalf, and they remained completely unmoved. No empathy, no flexibility, no solutions. Just a stubborn, repeated refusal — for the most basic and reasonable requests imaginable. The app also showed ”Failed to cancel booking” and ”Failed to modify dates” so there was no way to self-serve either. Completely trapped. On top of that: 11am checkout means you are gone — permanently. You cannot come back inside, cannot use any facilities, cannot sit for a break, cannot do anything. You are physically out the door at 11am with no return. Most hotels worldwide let you hang around the lobby or common areas — not here. Just thrown out onto the street. No luggage storage after checkout — in all my years of traveling worldwide, this is the first place I've ever stayed that refuses to hold your bags. Not once have I encountered this anywhere else. You're left dragging everything around all day with zero support. The place simply doesn't feel welcoming — from the moment something goes wrong, you're completely on your own Nickel-and-dime culture — they charge a fee for everything, including slippers. Every other hostel I stayed at across Japan provided them free, daily. Not here. Locker room has no camera — you cannot leave anything safely here Laundry is overpriced — the most expensive I encountered across every city I stayed in Japan For a capsule hotel marketing itself on convenience, it fails on almost every front. Every basic comfort comes with a price tag, and the moment you need any flexibility or human decency, they shut the door on you — literally and figuratively — even when you act immediately, in good faith, and are willing to spend more. The only thing going for it is the central Tenjin location — but that's the neighborhood, not the hotel. I travel around the world constantly and this is genuinely the first time I've encountered a hotel this rigid, unwelcoming, and unhelpful. Only consider this place if you have absolutely no other options. Otherwise, keep looking.

I stayed in two room types. The street-facing smoking room was larger and offered a nice view of the city lights at night. The non-street-facing room had no view and was very noisy, so I had to keep the windows closed to sleep. However, the location was very convenient for getting around.

The location was superb as it's just a few steps away from the underground entrance to the metro. There's also a 24Hr supermarket just minutes walk from the hotel above ground or if it's raining you can take the metro underground walkway which will also get you right to the entrance of supermarket. There are a few drug stores nearby (for medicine / cosmetics) and some open till 9pm or even midnight. It's only a very short walk to get to Canal city shopping area which has an array of shops and dinning options. We stayed for 5 nights and breakfast was included in our room rate and it was very good with a decent amount of choices (we ended up eating there 4/5 mornings). Although the dinning area was not very big so if you're there during peak hours there could be a bit of a wait. The room was a standard 'Dormy' room that you'd expect in almost any other Dormy Inn but for this particular hotel we felt the cleaning needs a bit of work. We have a habit of wiping down the shelves / tables before placing our things and even after three rounds of wiping with wet cloth / tissue it's still grey which shook us a bit.

The 20 sqm twin room easily accommodated two 28-inch suitcases, though the bathroom felt a bit cramped. Breakfast was the same every day and lost its appeal after two mornings. However, they did offer fresh squeezed orange juice and the freshly made veal burgers were quite good. There's a self-service laundry on the 5th floor, complimentary coffee on the rooftop, and a free happy hour in the afternoon. The location is superb, with direct access to the airport line from B2, and the airport bus stop right on the 1st floor, which is also the meeting point for most day tours departing from Fukuoka.

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, answering every question we had with a great attitude. The room was super clean. Even though the space wasn't huge, it had everything we could possibly need—especially the microwave and washing machine, which were total lifesavers. It was so convenient to buy local food back to the room and heat it up. There was also a nice round table in the room that gave us plenty of space to enjoy our meals. Downstairs in the lobby, they offer free welcome drinks and an ice machine. In the scorching summer heat, being able to grab an ice-cold drink whenever we wanted was amazing! Another cool feature was the big LED screen in the lobby—it let us explore local sightseeing spots, and the information was incredibly detailed. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting!

Location of this hotel is excellent! Extremely easy to find - exit from the Chikushi Gate (East) at JR Hakata station and walk about 5 mins to reach the hotel. There is also a bus stop just 100 meters away (1 min walk) that you can take from the airport to reach the hotel, or from the hotel to reach the airport. Room is clean and decent size. Love the bathroom and the standing shower which has a nice rain shower, handheld shower and jacuzzi style massage shower. There’s also a bathtub for those who like to take baths. Room amenities can be obtained at hotel lobby so there is little waste - just take what you need. There is also a coffee machine that is free at the lobby. There is a self-service washing machine and dryer at level 3, level 7 and level 11. There is also a Family Mart just infront of the hotel and also a Lawson just around the corner. Great for getting late night light snacks. Overall, an excellent hotel! Highly recommended!

The hotel is perfectly located, close to the station, and there's a small park nearby. The room itself is quite spacious by Japanese standards, has everything you need, and is very clean. The breakfast is delicious, with a wide selection (they even have steak!). We really enjoyed it and will be back.

The hotel location, cleaning level of each area, etc. is very good. However, there are 2 points of my comments and hopefully the hotel will improve them. 1) The bathroom at the hotel room is a bit stinky and spreading to the room. I guess the bathroom's ventilation is not running very well. 2) In the room, the air conditioner outlet is dusty. I kindly suggest the hotel clean and maintain it more regularly to improve the hygiene of the room.

The room is quite small, and it’s a bit difficult for two people to open their suitcases at the same time — we had to take turns. Other than that, everything was very good. Breakfast was plentiful and varied. I had seen reviews mentioning ikura, but it wasn’t available during my stay, which was a little disappointing. Still, I was overall very impressed.
