Kumamoto Minami Ward Hotels

Although they have a private carpark by side of the hotel, there was a parking fee charge of 2,000yen. But you're guaranteed a parking spot if you come back later at night. There are more parking lots in the multi storey carpark by side of the hotel. The hotel is very clean and I think it's relatively new. The front desk reception was very friendly n helpful. They also have a guest lounge on the ground floor next to the reception. Free flow of coffee and soft drinks plus some alcohol choices like sparkling wine. The lounge is open to hotel guests from 3pm to 11pm. They also provide coffee to go. The first 2 pictures is the view from our room. Across the highway from the hotel there's a Daisy & an Aeon supermarket. Very convenient to grab some food n light groceries. It's a good location to be in. I'll definitely be coming back to this hotel.

The price is very favorable for a hotel in the Kumamoto area with free parking. The room is on the small side and can barely accommodate 2 seats. Of course, I read the reviews before booking, so I definitely accept it. It only takes about 15 minutes from the hotel to Kumamoto Castle. If you are only staying for a short time, it is worth considering.

The hotel is clean and modern. It's conveniently located right next to the shopping street. You can also see Kumamoto Castle up close.

The hotel is in a good location. It's very close to Domachisuji Station (trams and city buses), very close to Shopping Street (very close to Kamishatori Shopping Street), and close to Kumamoto Castle. The room is quite new. I will stay here again next time.

Stayed for 2 nights in the standard double room. Clean room. Enough space to open 2 suitcases. Location is alright, walkable to some of the shopping streets and restaurants. Only downside is the off-site parking which is 5-7min walk away.

The room was quite spacious for a Japanese budget hotel; I could easily open two suitcases on the floor. The self-service amenity station on the second floor at the front desk was super convenient, with a huge variety of items, including drip coffee and even proper disposable slippers! Having a 7-Eleven downstairs was a bonus for grabbing things. Oh, and the shower pressure was great too. I'm really happy with this place!

The location, staff and breakfast were very good. I was worried about the smell of the bathroom and the lack of cleanliness of the room.

The hotel employees all of them were showed a good attitude and communication was no problem for foreigners. The location is great — it’s close to Kumamoto Castle, and there’s a shopping mall just about a 10-minute walk away. I made a reservation for a triple room for two nights. The sofa bed was uncomfortable, and the air conditioner could not adjust the airflow direction, which caused us to catch a cold. One more thing, the room key had to be returned and kept at the counter whenever we went out for the day.
