Top Shimotori Hotel Reviews

Hotel Nikko Kumamoto

10/10 Excellent

"Staff are polite, parking safe and easy, room is clean and comfort, near shopping centre and many choice of restaurant, near Kumamoto Castle"

Dormy Inn Kumamoto Natural Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent

"I had a very enjoyable stay at Dormy Inn Natural Hot Springs. The location is excellent. One of the highlights of my stay was the complimentary ramen served in the evening, which was a nice and thoughtful touch after a long day of sightseeing. The hotel itself was comfortable, and the hot springs facilities were a great way to relax. Overall, I was very satisfied with my experience and would definitely stay here again."

Toyoko Inn Kumamoto Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"I've stayed in a few Tokoyo Inn properties, and this has also delivered its standard. I like how simple and clean the rooms are - amenities available at lobby to take, and the free breakfast is always a highlight of the stay because nothing beats waking up to a nice warm cooked meal. I'll always recommend Toyoko Inn to others!"

Kumamoto Hotel Castle

6/10 Okay

"The room was clean however you can’t check in early, which is something you should note if you arrive before three. There is no included breakfast. There are a lot of stairs within the actual room itself, which is a trip hazard in the middle of the night. We checked out a day early as the bed was very uncomfortable and very low to the ground. "
