Kurume Velodrome

Service: Some employees were more helpful than others. Multi-cultural staff makes it interesting in some cases, so make sure the front desk staff understands all your special needs. Massage Service offered for a fee. Food: salad bar, drink bar, pizza oven, smoothies, and soft serve ice cream. It's more of Brunch than breakfast, but the food was always good regardless Room: Clean, .not too crowded, local TV stations with video on demand choices. There was a miscommunication about the room cleaning schedule, but it was fixed(See Service) Location: 10 min walk to Canal City, 5min walk to TianjinMinami subway exit 6, ~25min walk to Hakata JR station. 2min walk to bus stop. Almost quite literally in the middle all everything. Summary: A good starting off point for exploring the city. The room is sufficient for sleeping, but better options are out there if you enjoy lounging in your hotel room. The Staff is helpful and the food is good.

It’s our second time in this hotel. Rooms are big enough for two. We were very comfortable. Front desk and cleaning staff were very tentative and friendly. Really enjoyed our stay! The only thing I was disappointed was the Japanese buffet. The quality of the food’s were not fresh and less selection compared from my first time I visited (12/2023). Too bad, I was looking forward to it, too.☹️

15 mins walk to Hakata Station so good connections for travel and the same distance to Canal City, a shopping centre with riverside street food stalls. The hotel itself was dated in places, walls very thin, pillows very poor, room decoration was tired and bed right against the wall. Often can hear noise from other rooms or the corridor. Free facilities like the drinks, toiletries and bath salts were time-limited.
