3-Star Hotels in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan

I chose this hotel purely for its location in the ”Tenjin shopping district,” and only after checking in did I realize it offered ”all-around convenience.” You can easily handle all your shopping and dining needs within walking distance – just around the corner downstairs is the Aeon supermarket, super convenient for snacks, souvenirs, or emergency items. If you want to try local flavors, you don't have to go far; the highly-rated Shinshin Ramen is nearby. After a tiring day of exploring, a bowl of tonkotsu ramen is wonderfully satisfying. For a hotel in a major shopping hub, the biggest surprise was the room size. It was significantly more spacious than other budget hotels I've stayed in. I could open up my 28-inch suitcase, and there was still plenty of space to walk around and put my carry-on bags without feeling cramped like a ”small box.” Plus, getting to the airport is super convenient; from the subway station near the hotel, it's just a few stops to Fukuoka Airport. No need to rush or meticulously plan your travel time way in advance, which is fantastic for travelers with luggage.

The location is incredibly convenient, right next to the subway station. It's also just a short walk to the canal-side night market, which was a great bonus. We even happened to catch the annual Yamakasa Festival, making the whole area incredibly lively and vibrant! The only minor drawback was that the room felt a bit damp. However, the buffet breakfast was quite good. Overall, a positive stay!

The room was clean and tidy, with excellent hygiene standards that made me feel at ease. The hotel’s location is extremely convenient—close to subway stations, restaurants, and convenience stores—making it ideal for independent travelers. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and both check-in and check-out went smoothly. They were also happy to assist with any questions. The room came equipped with a washing machine and microwave, which is especially useful for longer stays or travelers who need to do laundry. The Wi-Fi was stable, suitable for both work and entertainment. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money, with well-rounded facilities and attentive service. It’s a solid choice for solo travelers or business trips.

The room was a little smaller than another hotel with breakfast I've stayed at, but that wasn't a big deal. The toiletries provided were limited to toothpaste and toothbrushes; it would have been even better if skincare products were also available. Breakfast was Western-style, and guests could make their own pizzas.

Overall, the triple room was quite satisfying. **Facilities:** The triple bed setup was quite suitable for a family of three, and the beds were very comfortable. There's a table to place belongings and a small sofa. It was nice to have a bathtub in the bathroom, though the sink was quite small – I didn't expect much anyway. The shelf above the sink was also small and couldn't hold many items. A small wardrobe was a nice addition. **Cleanliness:** The room was cleaned daily, and the bedding was tidied, which kept it very neat and tidy. **Location:** The geographical location is excellent. It's close to both bus and subway stations, with plenty of restaurants nearby, and it's also conveniently close to several large shopping malls. **Service:** There was a front desk staff member from Taiwan who was easy to communicate with. Aside from two English-speaking foreign staff, communication with the other Japanese staff was quite challenging. Maps were available for self-service at the front desk, and I could generally figure things out by guessing. **Overall:** I was quite satisfied with the room, and I would consider staying here again on my next visit.

Quite disappointed. Having had a very satisfying experience at a Comfort Hotel in Himeji previously, I chose this American chain again. Unfortunately, this Fukuoka location was quite a letdown. The room's cleanliness was subpar; the bedding felt scratchy, and the pillowcases were visibly worn. Worse, there were noticeable stains on the duvet, clearly visible even through the cover. This made me genuinely uncomfortable, especially as I had initially booked subsequent stays here. I promptly canceled those reservations and decided to find alternative accommodation. The complimentary breakfast was truly underwhelming – sparse and completely uninspired. I ended up eating out the next morning. Fortunately, there's a breakfast street conveniently located on the basement level of the station.

Location for transportation link is great. close to nanakuma train line and tenjin bus station. there is a bus stop almost in front of the hotel. but a bit far to walk to airport train line. Lots of eateries in radius 400 meters. Donki also just 2 blocks away. Mandarake is about 800 meters, but still walking distance. The hotel room is quite spacious with comfy bed. Fast hot water in shower. The minus is the pijama/bathrobe they provide is really small ! Even my wife who usually wear S size clothes say this pijama is a bit tight. for males, i cant even button it. This never been a problem in many other hotels we ever stayed at in japan. When we asked the receptionist to change for bigger ones, they said they only have this one size for everyone. LOL Another minus, the housekeeping never clean the mug, glasses, and change coasters during room clean-up. We only requested room clean-up every 2 days during our 5 nights stay. other than that, we were happy at Koko Hotel Tenjin

A good location for shopping and nightlife and convenient for travel with a near Metro station and also quite near Hakata Station. The room was a bit dated and I'm not sure about their cleaning policy. If companies are going to claim to do certain practices (not change bedding) due to environmental concerns, then these should be joined up. Plenty of single use plastics for instance. Also feel Japanese hotels should be more considerate and flexible with check in and check out times. 11 check out, 3pm check in is too bigger a gap - but this appears to be industry standard across the country and not a complaint of this hotel alone. However, this is a minor complaint.

Luckily, I managed to book a triple room about two weeks in advance. After all, when traveling to Japan, room size and bed dimensions are always key factors for me. The hotel rate also offered excellent value for money, especially for the peak summer season. The room type we booked this time featured a separate wet and dry area, which was perfect for our family's needs. It had both a shower (with massage features) and a bathtub, and the cleanliness was exceptional. Every evening, I'd come back and enjoy a relaxing bath – it was wonderfully comfortable. I have to mention, the hotel's location is absolutely fantastic. There's a shuttle bus directly from Terminal 6 of the International Hall (exit 6) that takes you straight to the hotel entrance (about 20 meters walk) in roughly 20 minutes (just one stop) for 310 JPY. This saved us the hassle of dragging luggage up and down subway stairs. On our last day, with luggage, a taxi to the airport cost around 80 RMB. If you're planning a day trip to Northern Kyushu, the meeting point at the Lawson convenience store right next to the hotel is incredibly convenient. Stepping out the back door, you'll find two Family Mart convenience stores, a Yoshinoya, and several other dining options. We saw many local Japanese people dining there, and it's super easy to grab drinks and snacks. It's also right next to Hakata Station's Chikushi Exit, making access to Shinkansen, JR lines, and the subway incredibly convenient. This was my seventh visit to Fukuoka, and I would definitely choose Forza again next time. I've already recommended it to friends and family.

The hotel appears brand new, with excellent facilities, and its exterior also looks quite impressive. The staff were very courteous, and complimentary toiletries and coffee are available for unlimited refills at the front desk. I booked a triple room; the beds were on the smaller side, but the room offered a bit more space than what you'd typically find in Japanese hotels. The hotel's location is definitely a standout feature. Most of your shopping and dining needs can be met within a 5-minute walk. For instance, there's an Arc'teryx store with no queues and an Ichiran Ramen right outside, plus a large shopping mall directly across the street. Overall, it was excellent, and I would definitely book again.
