Hotel Okura Fukuoka

Location's great. There's a underground passage what leads you directly from the subway exit to the hotel lobby. No need to go outside at all.

All the staff were friendly, courteous and professional. The bathroom was well stocked with amenities. We did use the swimming pool (cost of 2,200 yen per person) during our stay. The pool and changing areas were immaculate, making a truly enjoyable experience. The breakfast spread was high quality with an array of Japanese and Western food. We particularly enjoyed our chat with Lillia, one of the servers - she was so friendly and chatty.

The hotel location was so close to the subway system, it was very easy to get around. Our room was comfortable, staff were always friendly and helpful, and loved our time having breakfast each moring - so may different options to try.

The hotel was beautiful. The room size was comfortable. Beds, although twins, were comfortable and good size for Americans. The staff was so friendly and was able to get reservations for us as I believe there was a language barrier when making reservations directly through the restaurant. The location of the hotel is directly across from the mall and Anpanman. The city is in walking distance, and airport is about 20-15 minute cab ride.

The hotel is on the Airport Subway Line (two stops from the JR Hakata Train Station), within walking distance of Canal City, and Tenjin, adjacent to the Riverain Mall and across the street from the beginning of the Kawabata Arcade. There are four restaurants and a lounge in the hotel with the main restaurant serving an outstanding daily breakfast buffet presented by staff who are extremely attentive to your needs. The hotel is impecabbly clean and well maintained (has to have the quietest, fastest and smoothest running elevators of any hotel we've ever stayed at) with very quiet and comfortable rooms, but the hotel's biggest asset are its staff who are professional, courteous and kind.
