fav KUMAMOTO

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and spacious room, very polite and helpful staff, excellent price and comes with nice breakfast."

THE BLOSSOM KUMAMOTO

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was excellent and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. If you are driving, you can ask the hotel in advance about parking discount coupons. The hotel is located right next to Amu Plaza Kumamoto, with direct access by elevator, so shopping and dining are very convenient. In addition, the large public bath on the upper floor of the hotel is very comfortable; besides the hot spring baths, there is also a sauna room available for guests to use."

Nest Hotel Kumamoto

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at Kumamoto Nest Hotel was excellent. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for my stay. I especially appreciated having breakfast available each morning. Fresh towels, a robe, and slippers were provided daily, which was a nice touch. The staff were helpful and friendly throughout my visit. Another big advantage was that everything I needed was within walking distance. This was my first visit to Japan, and the hotel exceeded my expectations. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to other travelers."
