HOTEL MYSTAYS Fukuoka Tenjin Minami

Pretty central location, near Canal City / yatai area, Nakasu, and Tenjin. Lots of restaurants nearby that are open until 3am. There's a nearby bus stop along the main road going to the airport. It's a bit of a walk away from the train station though especially with luggage since the nearest exit doesn't have elevators, but it's not too bad. Breakfast isn't buffet style, they serve a tray. Good portions and tastes great. Room was spacious enough for Japan standards, there's an electric stove, microwave, plates and utensils. The hallways are open air and a little dated but it wasn't a problem. Would stay here again :)

Was greeted by welcoming English-speaking staff and we began our stay for 3 nights. The passage to our ground floor room 101 is not enclosed passage way, we experienced the cold with wind blowing at times at end November, same on the third floor when going to buy water from vending machine. I could imagine snow getting in during the winter. The room was dated, old and the worst experience was using the very low wash basin. One has to bend down very much to use it even for my petite wife. We stayed at hotels of ¥9500 to ¥50000+ per night on this 15-day trip, all provided bottled water or from a dispenser but this one. The breakfast each day was Indian-themed with slight differences, served on a big tray with a counter for selections of salad, croissant and more Indian dishes. Although the breakfast staff was friendly, wish they can be more creative with their offerings to serve international guests.

Standard japan hotel, walking distance to tenji, overall is good, outdated furniture
