Hotel Route-Inn Hakata Ekimae -Hakataguchi-

This hotel is easily accessible from the covered path from Hakata station - there is even a lift / staircase that leads right to the entrance of the hotel. There is a combini in front of the hotel too so it is convenient if you need any last minute snacks and don't want to go to the malls. The onsen was very comfortable. I appreciated the ice dispensing machine for me to keep my drinks cold. The room was dated but it was clean, cosy and comfortable. Breakfast was a good spread and variety too! I liked that the hotel was quiet and there was little disturbance from the malls and roads.

This property is in a very good position being close to all public transport. Fukuoka was also a very nice city to visit. As with most Japanese cities it has great transport but also very walkable. Great gardens and cultural sites. Anyone visiting Fukuoka should also consider consider taking train trips to some cities a few hours away by train. I stayed in Nagasaki for 6 days on a previous visit to Japan this year I went there for a "day trip". Also went to Kagoshima. If you have time and are willing to sit on train for a while there are places to try on most lines.

- Smooth check-in - Great WIFI connection - Super great location, near to Hakata station and Bus station, underground walking passage to the train station. Or if you have huge and heavy luggage, there is an escalator in front of the hotel that leads you to the walk-over bridge to the train station. No need to carry heavy luggage climbing up or down the staircase! - There is a Japanese-style public bath to enjoy - There is a convenience store just a few steps away

Very conveniently located. Right beside a Toyota-Rent-a-car branch and linked via overhead bridge to Hakata bus terminal. Breakfast spread was good and tasty.

The location was perfect for getting in to Hakata late and catching a highway bus early the next day. The continental breakfast was also had a pretty good variety. The room was clean and it was easy to connect to wifi.
