Hotel Oriental Express Fukuoka Nakasu Kawabata

Great service, clean and tidy rooms. It's rather small but every basic need is served.

A decent hop for the 2nd part of the trip and my first time trying a somewhat local Japanese hotel chain. 🍀 I knew the experience would be a step down after RC but I’m glad the property served its purpose well for what it was. The location in Nakasu Kawabata is a little off a beaten track but walking is a great way to burn off those calories! 😆 Definitely glad I paid more for a bigger space for 2pax as otherwise our luggage survive. The space is simple and thankfully clean as expected of a Japanese hotel but the color themes made the ambience feel old despite the fact that the hotel is only 3yo 🐌 The tiny gym has my fav rower which is all that mattered to me. The breakfast was also surprisingly varied and actually high quality and was a win amongst us 🍀 Service was bare bones of course and the language barrier didn’t help. PSA: their definition is “deposit” at check in is actually payment so rem to use the right card if that’s important to you 😭

All I can say is that it is a pretty decent hotel and close to the shops. Have gym and laundry facilities. They have welcome wine and photo for guests. The staff are also very helpful. The problem is that it is very far away from hakata station.

Close to attraction place very nice to stay here

Location is near night life district, not ideal for family travel. A bit of walking to go to restaurants and town center. Room is small.

Location is acceptable, about five minutes walk to train station. Family mart is nearby. The standard double room is small except there is a queen size bed. We asked for two extra pillows and they are helpful to provide it.

The price was relatively lower but the cleanliness was a bit poor as there’s smell from the toilet sometimes. The air conditioner did not function well. The temperature changed from time to time.

Overall is ok, but room is small & limited choice of food for breakfast.

Excellent location , environmental friendly, a lot of different restaurants all around the hotel .
