Toyoko Inn Kokura Station Minami

“One Station before Hakata is Kokura...”

To me to find a hotel room in Hakata over the weekend at a right price seems to be very difficult so far and this time it was next to impossible. So what to do... Solution was to go to Kokura which is only one station away by Shinkan-sen! (If you have Japan RailPass it would cost you nothing and tr… Mais

To me to find a hotel room in Hakata over the weekend at a right price seems to be very difficult so far and this time it was next to impossible. So what to do... Solution was to go to Kokura which is only one station away by Shinkan-sen! (If you have Japan RailPass it would cost you nothing and traveling time is only about 20 min.!) I have stayed in Tokyu-Inn in various locations in the past and normally they offer good service and the price for a night. And this Tokyu-Inn Kokura Kokura-eki Minami-guchi was not the exception. Location is close to the Station (ca 5 min. walk); the staff is friendly and efficient. Room is standard (as in all the Tokyu-Inns) but everything is there (see photo). The room charge includes simple breakfast (don't expect too much!) At the end of the day I saved a lot and I could go to Hakata for the meeting and the dinner.

“Nice hotel with great location and free breakfast”

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights while we were in Kitakyushu for business. Our Japanese clients had arranged this hotel for us, and we were quite pleased with it. It was only a few minutes' walk from Kokura Station, and there is also a convenience store a block away, along with many restaurants. The Kokura Station area is packed with all kinds of shopping as well.....we enjoyed walking through some of the covered shopping arcades nearby. There are several 100-yen shops there, which are fun to browse for souvenirs. There were also plenty of tourist sights to enjoy when we weren't working...Tanga Market, Kokura Castle, and the Rverwalk were each about a 10 minute walk from the hotel. The room itself was quite small (typical in Japan) but plenty adequate. Free internet is included. There was also a free breakfast served each morning in the lobby, which usually consisted of rice, miso soup, fresh rolls, coffee, juice, and a few other rotating dishes like sausages and salad. Our clients had mentioned that there was a McDonald's right down the street if we preferred an American-style breakfast, but we found the hotel breakfast to be quick and easy, and plenty filling. There seemed to be only one staff member who spoke any English, so we did have some difficulty communicating with the front desk at times. Apparently, you must leave your key at the front desk when you are away, which we were a bit confused about. But, despite the language barrier, everyone was very helpful and we would definitely consider this hotel for a future stay.

A nossa viagem desta vez, ficamos na cadeia de hotéis inn Toyoko para quase a nossa viagem. É conveniente para fazer uma reserva e pagamento. Embora o espaço é limitado, mas você tem tudo. Além disso, buffet de pequeno-almoço é oferecido gratuitamente. No dia que verificamos, deixei o meu Ipad com todos os acessórios no saco na mesa de jantar que tomamos café da manhã. Sabíamos em cerca 16:30 no inn de Toyoko , ekimae de Hakata . Eu pedi o tesoureiro da frente para chamar o gestor do inn de Toyoko, minamiguchi de Kokuraekimae. Eles colaboraram uns com os outros e eu consegui voltar quando eu voltei para o hotel depois eu saí para jantar em 20:00! Sem custos adicionais! Eu fiquei impressionado da forma que colaboraram e o seu serviço. Será, com certeza continuar utilizar esta cadeia hoteleira para a nossa próxima viagem. Muito Obrigado Toyoko inn Kokuraekimae minamiguchi e Hakata ekimae.

“Convenient to JR station and clean”

Stayed here for 3 nights with my son. It is an easy walk from the JR (Kokura) station which provides good shinkasen connections, plus you can easily head south to Beppu on the Sonic train.

Stayed here for 3 nights with my son. It is an easy walk from the JR (Kokura) station which provides good shinkasen connections, plus you can easily head south to Beppu on the Sonic train. Convenience store within a block for sundry items and only about 2 blocks to the main business street. Breakfast is provided and is good. I typically stay in Toyoko Inns on trips to Japan, and this is a good one--I usually pick this chain for its consistent quality, the fact it has a decent English friendly website for reservations and that most of them are within walking distance of the train stations. The rooms of course are small, which is the typical size for all business hotel rooms in Japan (but if you are reading reviews here, you probably know that by now!)
