Hakata Green Hotel No.1

Walking distance to Hakata main station, although not the nearest. Room was a tad small, but the amenities superseded my expectation. The toilets were clean and the pillows were comfortable. Check-in process was fast and smooth too.

1. The location of the hotel is really close to Hakata Station and there are so many convenient stores, restaurants, and souvenir shops. 2. The room was compact but equipped. The bed was comfy. All electrical equipment worked fine. Sockets near bed and there are plenty. 3. The check-in was very easy with machine. There were staff available in case things get difficult. 4. Could leave luggage before check-in time and the check-out time is at noon so it would be comfortable for those who don't wanna wake up too early (though I checked out early anyway) :D

The self-service check-in and check-out machines are amazing compared to anything I've seen. Climate control in the room worked very well. Shower/bath size and room size are expected at this pricepoint in Japan; still very clean and all amenities provided. Location is 2 mins walk to Hakata Station, which made it perfect for my plans as homebase with a JR Pass. Front desk staff were still extremely helpful (even bringing out a translation device to help answer my questions). One-stop laundry machine that does detergent, washes, and dries in ~2hrs.

Just a few minutes away from JR Hakata station, Hakata bus centers, many shopping malls and local small restaurants. Staff helped us checking in. Luggage left service was available as well. Breakfast was good and you can go to either the hotel you are staying or its annex hotel (just 30 seconds walk). Twin room we stayed was bigger than expected.

One block from station. Kiosk terminal check in and out. Had English on computer. Left bags using kiosk as well. Breakfast had usual Japanese breakfast food. Was reasonable at 1300 yen. Receptionist at breakfast spoke good English/filipino. Smaller room but sufficient
