Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location stood out as it is right next to Kumamoto Castle with easy access to the shopping area, but the room was a bit old-fashioned. Service was exceptional with helpful staff assisting us in booking a day trip to Aso Volcano. Dining, offering traditional Japanese breakfast, was enjoyable with a beautiful view. Overall, a good stay with a few areas for improvement.
