4 star hotels in Kumamoto

Not bad, location is central (close to the main attraction of Kumamoto Castle). The soundproofing is poor though, got woken up at 5am by next door's vibrating phone/people coughing. Cute decorations in the lobby.

Best hotel in Kumamoto our trip, - Comfortable stay, convenient location and Great value.

I had a really nice stay at REF Kumamoto by VESSEL HOTELS. The room was clean, comfy, and had everything I needed. The location was convenient, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The whole place felt relaxed and well kept. I’d definitely stay here again.

Good location. Sashimi at opposite is very satisfying

Right on a lively street, it's great! Perfect for a stroll or doing anything else. There's also a constant flow of people. Games, snacks, izakayas, and a convenience store are all downstairs. The service is also very sweet. Environment: 👌 Service: 👌 Hygiene: 👌 Facilities: 👌

The hot spring was fantastic! Outdoor and open-air, plus free popsicles. Only one pillow in the room though, that's a thumbs down.

Very cute lobby 😍 location near to shopping area with lots of places to eat. Within walking distance to Kumamoto castle. But to go to kumamoto station, need to take a tram ¥200. Room is very small but clean.

Loved the Kumamon themed room! They even included free Kumamon gifts. Friendly staff, although check in took a long time. Nice selection of amenities. Close to Sakuramachi mall, tram and bus stops. Would stay here again.

This hotel is perfectly located, about a 5-minute walk from Sakuramachi Bus Terminal and 10 minutes from Kumamoto Castle. It's right by Ginza-dori, making dining and shopping incredibly convenient. The staff are also very polite, bowing and greeting you every time you enter or leave. The room isn't small; I could fully open my 28-inch suitcase. Overall, for this price, it offers far better value than...

This hotel is great! The cleanliness is up to Japanese standards, and the facilities are neither new nor old. It's about a 1200 yen taxi ride from Kumamoto Station, or a 20-minute tram ride or walk. The area around the hotel is very quiet, but it's only a 5-minute walk to Shinshigai, where there are tons of restaurants to choose from. I highly recommend staying here. If I had to pick a downside, it...

Love this hotel a lot! The front house is really helpful and give us advise for where to go for new year countdown. Basically there is no new year countdown just Japanese will head to shrine during new year eve. Also they gave free red bean soup with dango during new year day. Its really lovely to get yourself blend into Japanese culture. There is also free drink throughout the day. Kumamon theme room...

Great location, only a 10-minute walk to Kumamoto Castle, and plenty of shopping malls nearby. The breakfast was plentiful, but the room was quite small. With three people and three suitcases, there wasn't enough space to open them up.

The hotel is very new with a modern decor. The soundproofing is excellent, and even the drawers, wardrobe doors, and shower door have soft-close mechanisms, making them very quiet. The public bath is a moderate size and has all the necessary facilities. The cleaning staff are diligent, so everything is quite clean. The hotel is located right above Kumamoto Station, making it incredibly convenient for...

This hotel is super convenient! It's located on the 9th floor of the AUM shopping mall, right next to the east exit of Kumamoto Station. You can find plenty of dining options on the 6th and 7th floors of the same mall. Kumamoto Castle is also a manageable walk, about 2.3 kilometers away, taking around half an hour. The hotel even has an observation deck with a great view! The room was clean and well...

Our stay was excellent! The hotel was spotless, and our room was clean and comfortable, making for a very relaxing experience. The location is super convenient for getting around, dining, and shopping. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, making communication a breeze. The facilities are great, and overall, it offers fantastic value for money. If I ever come back to Kumamoto, I'll definitely...

I recently stayed at The Blossom Kumamoto and would definitely stay here again. The location is unbeatable. The hotel is literally next to Kumamoto Station, just exit from the Shinkansen gate, turn right, and you’ll see the entrance. It’s also directly connected to AMU Plaza, with easy access to restaurants, shops, buses, taxis, and trains. The rooms are surprisingly spacious for Japan. We were able...

Facilities: The hotel boasts modern facilities and a new, unique design. The large public bath is well-equipped, making it a great place to relax. Environment: The hotel's location is excellent, right next to Kumamoto Station. It's within walking distance to the JR station, bus station, and tram stop. There are large shopping malls nearby, offering a wide range of dining and shopping options. The hotel...

Staff is friendly, location is very good just in AMU Plaza. Highly recommend!

Nice locationin Kumamoto. You can shopping just downstairs.

To be honest, this hotel is located right above the bus station, which is super convenient. You can easily walk to Kumamoto Castle, and shopping and dining in Kumamoto are also within easy walking distance. It's especially time-saving if your next destination is Kagoshima or Hitoyoshi, as Japan's infrastructure has been a bit disappointing lately – the railway is still damaged from a flood and hasn...

This hotel is really nice and conveniently located right on top of Sakura Machi mall, so there are plenty of food options and shops for shopping. Right across the street is a pedestrian street, which is great for walking around. It’s not too crowded, so the atmosphere is quite relaxed. There’s also a major bus stop right downstairs, which makes it super convenient—especially if you don’t have a car...

Very conveniently located! Parking is the same as mall amd the side of the building bside bus terminal Room waa cleaned and nice size for a couple Well recommended

I was pleasantly surprised by how great this stay was! The hotel exceeded my expectations in many ways. The location is excellent—close to public transportation, restaurants, and shopping areas, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, a wonderful experience, and I would...

Excellent location connected to malls and bus Termina. Great breakfast..Great helpful staff helping out the storage of our luggage as we come earlier!

The transportation is convenient and the service is exceptionally thoughtful.

The front desk staff spoke excellent English, making communication smooth. The hotel's location is fantastic; there's a bus stop right outside, and shopping malls are directly across the street, as well as behind the building. Kumamoto Bus Terminal is also within walking distance. Plus, there's a restaurant called Flour across the street that serves amazing toast! The room was spacious, and the bathroom...

The room wasn't huge, but it was quite comfortable, and you could see Kumamoto Castle right from the window. For breakfast, you could choose between a buffet or traditional Japanese. Since we'd had enough Japanese breakfast at the onsen hotel before this, we opted for the Western-style buffet both days. The variety was great, and they even had the popular Aso Volcano milk! If I had known, I wouldn...

The location is superb. After arriving at Kumamoto Airport, you can take the airport bus to 'Kamitori' and the hotel is right there. It's in the heart of Kumamoto city, directly opposite a classic department store with Kumamoto-themed products, perfect for shopping. The tram stop is just a short walk away, offering easy access to the JR station and various attractions. The commercial pedestrian street...

This is my second time staying at this hotel in Kumamoto, and it offers great value for money. The location is absolutely fantastic; all the shopping spots are right on your doorstep. Our room had a view of Kumamoto Castle, and they can add an extra bed, so it was no problem for our family of five to sleep comfortably! The hotel staff also provide excellent service. Every time I've been here, the front...

The hotel's location is fantastic! There's a bus stop right downstairs. The concierge on the first floor helped us book bus tickets to Aso and Kagoshima, making our travel super smooth. It was much more convenient than going to the bus terminal ourselves. The room was compact but well-arranged, and all the toiletries were provided, even face wash, toner, and lotion from LA MER. You can pretty much...

they give me the wrong room but correct it once i point out. other than this, all good

Nice room which is quite generous in size compared to a standard Japanese business hotel. Only a bit on the dark side, so could use with better or brighter lighting. Location is very near a tram stop but convenience stores aren't close and not many places to eat around there. There was a yakiniku place nearby but it was fully booked so I ate dinner in the hotel but honestly the buffet wasn't very good...

Location is close to kumamoto station, you only need to take the tram for 1 stop. Alternatively, there is also a paid shuttl bus by the hotel that takes u around. We got a room change because our original room had an insect, the staff was quick and nice about it. Room style is quite old school as it is an old building. There’s also a kumamon mascot that greets u at the lobby :)

Good location, friendly staff, free self service coffee at front desk

Nice breakfast and view of the river!

Great location! Right next to the tram station and 100m away from the main shopping street. Room is great, nice and clean and great prices! Definitely staying there again!

Great location, clean, and the front desk staff's English was excellent, all before 9 AM.

Superb location! The room and bathroom are massive—way bigger than your typical business hotel. Breakfast was solid, and I got a lucky room with a view of Kumamoto Castle! Just a heads-up though: if you’re driving, it’s a hassle. You have to park in a separate building a block away.

Love the quality of the towels and premium amenities provided for guests.

Excllent location near by the kumamoto castel , 5- 10 minutes by walking distance . Building next to the central terminal and main traffic road, quite noisy .

A very clean and seemingly brand new hotel right in the heart of Kumamoto, off the Main Street and walkable to Kumamoto Castle. Room and hotel amenities were basic but very nice, breakfast spread was exceptional!

Had a very good stay in this hotel. I got a room that was probably renovated recently(not all rooms are renovated!). Everything looks brand new and modern. The room is spacious with a large toilet split into 3 sections. This hotel is value for money

AMAZING STAFF AND PERFECT LOCATION FOR THE KUMAMOTO CASTLE. The room is in decent size and spotless cleaness, which we do appreciate with. Close to restaurants, convenient stores and supermarket.

Although the hotel is a bit old, however, location, cleanliness and hotel services have made up the lost. It’s a highly recommended hotel to stay after all

good for the price, right next to the castle, nice service of placing my luggage in to my room.

As it is not near the JR station, you need to take a tram to get there. But it is near the castle and the arcade where there are many stalls to shop. Service is excellent. The bed is quite comfortable too.

Location of this hotel is very convenient! With great Castle view! Room is spacious and clean! Staff are helpful and nice, even met one speak Cantonese👍 Definitely will recommend this hotel to friends and of course will stay here on my next trip!👍👍👍

Great location close to the station. Room was smaller than expected with lights that were too bright. Bathroom was super dated with one of those fans that doesn't really work. Amenities were ok, you have to take them from the lobby and they don't offer moisturizer. Lobby is nice and spacious, staff were ok but not super friendly.

Location was great, just a short walk from Kumamoto station and shopping malls. Not a very new hotel so some of the services are still old school style, like no self-serve laundry. Service staff were wonderful! I brought my luggages down late a night to arrange for delivery service. And I just had to provide the details and they took care of everything, I just had to make payment the next day before...

Amazing stay at the hotel. Highly recommend. Room was spacious, clean and nicely renovated. Excellent and super convenient location - near the mall with plenty of food choices, public transport located just outside the hotel that brings you to some of the tourist attractions. If you are driving like us, the carpark is located just directly behind the hotel. The staff were all amazing too. We have...

Lobby was really nice. The room was very clean and comfortable. Only downside is how far it is from the main areas of Kumamoto. However, tram station is right outside. Parking was very easy to find.

Everything was great! The hotel is very near the station, making it super convenient. The room was spotless, the staff were friendly, and the facilities were excellent. Overall, a very satisfying stay — would definitely come back!

Room is huge and can sleep 5! Reasonable price. Super near train station. Breakfast is not exciting though. How come the hotel do not provide shower cap?

Room is spacious, street parking is available nearby, clean room. Nice environment

The room was super clean, well decorated and full equipped. The checkin process was easy. The hotel uses the machine for checking in and out. During my check in, there was a staff to facilitate me with it. The staff was really nice. They provided various amenity kits you can pick them up at the lobby to use in your room.

Favourite hotel chain in Japan. Minimalist, clean with good amenities

convenient location and very clean and large room. washing machine was a huge help, and the lack of a dryer was not an issue at all as previously feared because their bathroom heater / air dryer was more than sufficient. will stay again
