THE BLOSSOM HAKATA Premier
A little disappointing for a top end hotel. The room was nice and the shower and bathroom were excellent. We paid extra to have lounge access but the lounge was nothing to speak of. A few packaged snack foods, coffee and alcohol. No food and no service. We thought the lounge would have breakfast ...

Hotel MyStays Fukuoka Tenjin
Friendly and helpful staff. Close to eateries. There were noises of equipment/machinery as well as people chatting as they walked the back lanes. It didn’t bother us too much but might for those sensitive to noise. Overall a good stay.
