The hotel is located right next to Kumamoto's main shotengai, providing a superb location with many great restaurants nearby. Although the rooms are relatively clean and of decent size, they lean towards a small Japanese style, offering everything needed. The service was lovely, especially with breakfast being opened slightly earlier upon request. The dining options are acceptable but slightly limited for western tastes. The facilities are satisfactory, catering to all guests' needs.

The hotel is ideally located right next to Kumamoto's main shotengai, offering a superb setting for shopping and dining experiences. The rooms are of decent size, relatively clean, and equipped with everything we needed, reflecting good value for money. The service was exceptional, with staff being hospitable, extremely helpful, and attentive to details. However, the dining options, although tasty, ended earlier than expected, and the attempt to cater to Western tastes fell short. On the bright side, the location in the vibrant city center with plenty of eateries compensates for any minor inconveniences.
