the b hakata

A few minutes walk to Hakata station and bus terminal with several big malls beside. I signed up day trips from Klook and the gathering point was at Lawson near to Hakata station. Front desk was helpful to provide portable fan when I feedback on the warm condition at night as the air conditioning is centrally controlled. Took a taxi to Fukuoka airport in the morning and the fare was 1470yen.

People: The staff is friendly, helpful and speak english pretty well. The facilities: The room and facilities are good and clean. Able to leave the luggage in case you arrive early. Love the complimentary - icecream in the afternoon every day. The location: The hotel is pretty close to Hakata station with 5-7 minutes walk. Has the convenient stores and mall (Yodobashi) nearby. Food: The breakfast is nice; have varieties of dishes and restuarant open very early (6.30 am) which is very convenient.

1. The location is convenient. You only need to walk around 6-8 minutes after you leave the JR / Shinkansen / Subway Hakata Station. 2. At the reception, there are coffee and some donuts provided and they are free! 3. The room is clean (though it is not very new). 4. The staff are polite and they can communicate in English.

My flight arrived fukuoka early in the morning from Sydney, so I arrived the hotel around 11am and have been told that the checked in time would be at 3pm. I have left my luggage stored by the reception and went for a quick walk and lunch. It was around 130pm when I headed back to the hotel as I was exhausted and sleepy after the long flight trip and overnight flight. I have told the reception that I would sit at the reception and asked them to let me know when they could allow checking in. I have told them that I didn't want to go anywhere as I was tired and needed to sit down and take rest. Around 2pm, the front desk staff let me know that they could let me to check in a bit earlier. I was touched and really appreciated their understanding and care.. I could understand that 3pm is the check in time and it was a rule. But I really appreciate their understanding and care of a solo traveller taking a long overnight flight and the only thing I wanted was a good shower, taking a quick nap before my trip in Japan. This warm gesture made my day and I really appreciate it. Sam Solo traveller from Sydney.
