Recommended Hotels for a Perfect Fukuoka Vacation
If you're planning a trip to Fukuoka, you should definitely consider staying at ANA Crowne Plaza Fukuoka. It's located in Hakataekimae, Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City, just a few minutes' walk from Hakata Station, making it extremely convenient for transportation. Whether you're taking the airport bus or the local train, it's very convenient. From my experience, taking a taxi from the hotel to Fukuoka International Airport cost around 1,300 yen, while the airport bus was 500 yen per person.
The hotel's location is undoubtedly one of its highlights, as it's just a few minutes' walk from Hakata Station and nearby large shopping malls like Hakata City and 0101. There are also many drugstores and convenience stores nearby, making dining and shopping very convenient. The hotel is modern, clean, and tidy, similar to typical Japanese city hotels. The front desk service is also very warm, with friendly staff, and some can even provide services in Chinese and English. The rooms are not large, but they are very comfortable and tidy, with soft beds and pillows that can be chosen according to personal preference, which is very considerate💤.
The rooms are roughly similar to typical Japanese city hotels, about 20 square meters, with a compact and reasonable layout. The facilities provided are quite complete, including power outlets, wireless internet, TV, etc., which are very suitable for modern travelers' needs. We stayed in a standard room, which was a bit compact for two people, but definitely sufficient for city travel accommodation. If you're a hotel member, you may have the opportunity to get a room upgrade and executive benefits, enjoying higher quality services.
Breakfast is definitely one of the hotel's highlights, offering a rich selection of Japanese and Western options. I especially recommend the homemade pancakes here, where a little chef will make various cartoon-shaped pancakes on-site, which are both delicious and fun, and kids love them😊. However, the breakfast time can be a bit crowded, so it's recommended to go early.
There are many places worth visiting around Hakata Station. For example, Hakata Sennen no Mon and Statue of Kyushu Railway Place of Origin are within walking distance, where you can learn about the local culture and history. As for food, you definitely can't miss Ichiran Ramen Hakata, which has a branch in the underground street; Daichi Udon and Hakata Ikkousha are also highly recommended delicacies with unique flavors👌.
Of course, relative to most advantages, there are also some minor drawbacks, such as the rooms being a bit small, which may be a bit cramped for two large suitcases. Some hot food items may be in short supply during peak times, and the parking lot is not free, requiring additional payment.
Overall, ANA Crowne Plaza Fukuoka is highly recommended for its location, service, and value for money. If you're planning a trip to Fukuoka, consider this hotel!🌟
