3 star hotels in Karatsu

Great onsen with free ice cream and amazing thermal pool with stunning view.

It is probably the best hotel in Karatsu city with beautiful sea view. This hotel has various facilities, including SPA, onsen and warm swimming tools etc. which is good for family taking the vocation. The buffet is also OK. However, the room rate is not cheap. However, from the viewpoint of taking the family taking, this hotel is still recommended.

Beautiful beach, excellent service, I'd love to go again next time.

This was a truly beautiful and wonderful hotel. The moment I entered the lobby, I was immediately struck by the breathtaking view. The harmony between the ocean view and the pristine white hotel was truly impressive. Every single item was precious and luxurious. There was an indoor heated pool for the kids, and an outdoor hot spring pool for the adults. Surrounded by distant mountains, the swimming...

Breakfast with a sea view was absolutely fantastic, and dinner included hairy crabs. The sea view room had a large balcony with a small bar, which I also really liked.

Great location, excellent service, and delicious breakfast and afternoon tea.

The room is so clean and comfortable

It was a comfortable one night stay. The breakfast spread is good!

The hotel is situated on the riverbank, with rooms offering views of the river and the distant Karatsu Castle. The rooms aren't very large, but they are slightly larger than a typical double room. Each room also includes a small dining table for snacks. The hotel has a public bath, and overall, it's quite nice. Breakfast is served underground, allowing guests to dine outdoors. The food selection...

A very nice hotel. You can even soak in the hot springs at night. It's about a 17-minute walk to Karatsu Castle. I would definitely stay here again next time.

If you speak English well, it will be very convenient, as there are many English instructions. However, the front desk staff's English is generally not good, and check-in is done via self-service in English. If you mind, you can ask them. The day before, I stayed at the Mercure across the street, but the sea view wasn't as good as this one's river view (including Karatsu Castle view), which is very...

Great place for a night stay. The room has its own massage chair and the view of the river makes you feel calm and relax. The public bath open till 10.30 pm so you can enjoy a hot bath after dinner. For those who drives, it is free parking. Only downside the mattress is very soft and the pillow is kinda shallow.

GOOD ☆The rooms are not large, but they are clean and functional. The laundromat is a drum type, so there is no need to refill the dryer. Breakfast (service) is quite high quality.I regretted passing it up on the first day of my stay. Close to the bus center Convenience stores nearby (F-mart and Seijo-Ishii in the bus center) Vending machines in the hotel are not expensive. Good response from the front...

The hotel is located close to Karatsu JR Station and provides a simple free breakfast, which is very cost-effective.

I requested a room with a good view and got a very nice room on the 9th floor. Breakfast was just bread and rice balls, but it was delicious. It was a convenient location, close to the station, bus center, and convenience store.

It was just so so. I booked a non-smoking room but was given a smoking room. And the window looked out to the cemetery. No explanation was given.

I used the hotel as lodging during a fishing trip by car, but it was also a great location for exploring the town of Karatsu, so I enjoyed it.

The hotel is located west of the city hall. It is a little far from the center of town, so it is quiet and nice. We walked to the castle, and it is just the right distance and in a good location.

Great spot if you’re looking to unwind in tranquillity. We took the room with bath in sea view. The view was no doubt fantastic but not a great idea in winter as the shower is also in open air. The bath is facing the beach so bath with cautious (tested and yes, passerby can see ya if you stand up to move from the tub). Since it’s open air, the shower curtain tends to get into your face when the wind...

The hotel is exquisitely designed with a high-class ambiance, very clean and comfortable. The room facing the sea offers a beautiful view, and the bathroom also overlooks the ocean. I visited in late December, when it was very cold and windy, so soaking in the hot spring felt wonderful. The breakfast was exceptional both in taste and presentation, truly gourmet.

I went on a trip with friends, and the beach was right in front of the accommodation, and it was really fun because there was a pool and a large bath. However, we didn't make a dinner reservation in advance, so there were no restaurants nearby, so we had a bit of a hard time finding dinner.

The service was excellent, and any inquiries were addressed promptly. The ocean view was stunning. The first floor was connected to the breakfast, dinner, and smoking rooms. A very comfortable and quiet place to stay.

This was my family's second visit after 6 years ago, and it was just as good. In particular, the free 45-minute use of the outdoor hot spring with a sea view was the best in terms of satisfaction and healing.

The service is good. Sauna in private and public area also stunning. Shall go again if have chance.

We had a superb sea view from our hotel room. The service could be better as there’s nobody at the front desk most of the time

Perfect location, the hotel is sanwiched between the beach and the Niji no Matsubara Pine Grove

Awsome hotel. Low price, good environment, good room and good breakfast. I am very satisfied all of them.

This is a gem. The hotel is right at the end of the rainbow pine forest. With a few steps, you can see Maizuru Castle. The city of Karatsu is not very large. We can easily walk to the castle or dining places. The onsen is not very large. But the place has been kept in its traditional Japanese style. Very cosy and classic. The dinner is served in the room. It is elegant and delicious. I find that this...

One of the most beautiful places we've stayed in Japan with a lovely garden, exquisite food, and a great collection of local ceramics. We were lucky enough to meet the owner and he very kindly shared his knowledge of local potters and places to visit. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Staying at Yōyōkaku felt less like a hotel and more like being welcomed into a beautiful, historic home. Everything about our stay was absolutely perfect! The Japanese garden is stunning and peaceful, and it was such a treat to meet the owner. He is a very kind man who stays right there on the property, which adds such a personal and authentic touch to the experience. A very special thank you to...

This was an beautifully maintained, tranquil ryokan with very attentive staff who take great pride in the inn's 100 year old heritage and great breakfast. We almost missed the entrance to the inn after parking - the staff spotted us and ushered us in. Proprietress in a kimono saw me carrying a bag of trash during check in and promptly took it away for me. Another lady carried our bags. Proprietress...

This is a beautiful ryokan with fabulous rooms and a lovely garden. The staff are, without exception, absolutely wonderful. The food is excellent too. It’s a leisurely short walk to both the beach and the castle and only a 25 minute stroll or 6 minute taxi ride to Karatsu station. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough

very well maintained facilities although it's over 100 years old. Attentive service and overall experience was above expectations

This accommodation is in a prime location, right on the oceanfront. While the overall facilities are somewhat dated, they're relatively clean and there were no major inconveniences. This is a place I'd definitely visit during the summer season.

Although it's unmanned, the service isn't particularly inconvenient. I also appreciate the free use of the kitchen and washing machine. And I can hear the waves while I sleep.

Book when the room price is lower, the price/performance ratio is super high. The store is directly facing the seaside, with beautiful sea views, and is also close to the historical windbreak pine forest of Niji no Matsubara. The interior decoration is simple and tidy. The public activity area can be used for cooking, laundry, and clothes drying rods. The waiters are very friendly. A small hotel that...

Near a convenience store. We arrived on a Saturday night and not a lot of stores were open. Many local izakayas in the area though, and the locals will guide you around as much as possible. As the hotel is right by the ocean, we could enjoy our morning walk after sunrise in the sun, sand and PINE TREES. Best part of the hotel was probably the bath salts, jacuzzi, soft and big bed, and that you could...

Good accommodation with nice sea breezes, rent is cheap, with free parking, would be perfect if they’ve got a elevator.

They love dogs...Great rooms and amazing staff.

We visited Karatsu in early spring. We stayed in the Bamboo Room on the first floor, facing the sandy beach of Nishinohama. It is close to the Takatori Residence and has the atmosphere of a quiet villa area. The gate of a relocated samurai residence is impressive. The most attractive feature of this inn is the spectacular view of Karatsu Bay, with small islands such as Takashima floating in it, but...

Quiet and chill place to stay with if you need a very relaxed break. Closed to the seashore and castle which is about just 5 mins walk. Great food with careful and hearty preparation, both dinner and breakfast, impressive to eat in a 2nd floor room with sea view and super spacious. Small hot bath but super clean and ordered, very few visitors so I enjoy it alone. Highly recommended.

The food and service from the staff were just as wonderful as the reviews said. We went to celebrate my parents' birthday, and my mother was very happy. Thank you very much.

A Great Experience, Warm Memories The space was quiet and beautiful. Every detail was so clean that it felt like every detail had been meticulously maintained. The night sea view from my room was breathtaking. The staff's warm hospitality and the local cuisine were truly fresh and delicious. It was a truly wonderful experience.

The sea spread out before our eyes, and we were able to spend a peaceful time.

The staff at the inn were very polite and I had a very comfortable stay. The food was also very satisfying!

It has a very high-end feel; the old-fashioned European-style rooms are rare in Japan. The hotel is small but very comfortable.

It is my second time to this hotel. Very nice experience! Will comeback again if having chance.

I want to come again~ It might be a bit cold for Koreans.. It felt like there was a shower room, toilet, and sink on the veranda It was really cold in the morning, but thankfully there was a bidet It didn't feel old or worn out. It was well-maintained and clean. The hot spring water wasn't hot, so I was able to enjoy it just fine The service was good, but I'm not good at speaking Japanese or English...

Very considerate and caring services Dinner was exceptionally nice. A very nice outlook. It would have been a good sleep if the pillows were softer and not so high.

The courtyard was nice, but not great considering the price

Traditional style japanese onsen hotel, staff with great hospitality and service could not be bad. We did not dine in at the hotel and thus no comment on catering. There are plenty of restaurant choices in town if not dine at the hotel. Walking distance to city centre and with a supermarket right opposite on the road, convenient location
