Yaoji Hakata Hotel

“centrally located hotel”

We stayed 2 nights. The location is very good where you can get good restaurant within walking distance of 10-15 minutes where we got motsu nabe and a BBQ steak restaurant which is good.

We stayed 2 nights. The location is very good where you can get good restaurant within walking distance of 10-15 minutes where we got motsu nabe and a BBQ steak restaurant which is good. It take 15-20 minutes leisure walk to Canal City from the hotel. The car park is just next block linked at level 3 backdoor direct to the hotel lobby which is very convenient. The parking charge is 1500 yen per night exceeding 12 hours if you pay at the front desk but may cost 2200+ yen if pay at exit point. The hotel staff would calculate for you which is a cheaper option to pay at hotel or exit, if you ask them. Downstairs next block has a family mart where you can get some groceries if you like. The hotspring is just downstairs at ground level which has a few bath pools free for hotel guests. The staffs are helpful and friendly though with limited english communication. If you like hotspring, this is a good place to stay which is convenient. Overall l would consider and recommend this hotel. Disliked · The room is clean but a bit small, especially the bed is too small for 2 persons which is not comfortable to have a good rest. Room size is a bit small if you have 3 luggages. You get your daily toiletries at the front desk.

“Good value hotel”

Excellent location, decent size rooms, overall good value. Spotless rooms have everything one may need. On-site onsen is excellent. Breakfast is okay, more Japanese choices than Western.

Excellent location, decent size rooms, overall good value. Spotless rooms have everything one may need. On-site onsen is excellent. Breakfast is okay, more Japanese choices than Western.

“Budget hotel needs refurbishment”

Budget room for not a budget price. Stained carpets, old furniture and leaky taps. Plus side, fabulous staff, good breakfast mainly Japanese food. Didn't try onsen. Close to station but I won't return. In fabulous hotel now in Hiroshima for half the price

“Basic hotel ”

Hotel is a 5-10mins walk from Hakata station. Location is it’s main selling point. Staff spoke basic English. Onsen was broken on the day we stayed so we got a 500yen refund per person.

Hotel is a 5-10mins walk from Hakata station. Location is it’s main selling point. Staff spoke basic English. Onsen was broken on the day we stayed so we got a 500yen refund per person. The room was small. The main downside is that there is no cold air conditioning, just warm air. The room was very stuffy. We were told to open the window and they gave up a fan to use. At night it got cooler so it was fine with the window open and fan on. Breakfast was basic Japanese style. There were small croissants. I wouldn’t pay for breakfast. There are lots of choices at Hakata station. I would not stay again. There are much better choices nearby.

“Basic hotel- aptly categorised as a business hotel”

This is a pretty basic hotel, which didn't live up to its reviews in the booking site we use. Supposed to be a superior double room, but bed pushed up against wall! What really annoyed me is that they turn the air conditioning off!!!! Apparently because it is winter. They did bring a fan up for u… more

This is a pretty basic hotel, which didn't live up to its reviews in the booking site we use. Supposed to be a superior double room, but bed pushed up against wall! What really annoyed me is that they turn the air conditioning off!!!! Apparently because it is winter. They did bring a fan up for us. Most stuff is written in Japanese and staff have little English. Almost nothing on tv in English.. The occasional movie. Very hard bed and only 2 pillows, one of which is made of wheat ( I think! ) No washers. On the plus side, it is clean, the window opens a little, it has a fridge and an electric kettle ( if only I could figure out how it works) The staff are very friendly. It has access to what I think is a public hot pool. Very nice. It is close to the Hakata train station. Also close to Hakata Canal City ( a ketch shopping centre) Booked here because it had very good reviews and thought it was close to the sumo wrestling. I have categorised it as a budget hotel ( based on the hotels we have stayed at in Osaka and Yokohama) however it is not exactly budget price.
