Experience of the stay
Since it was a hotel affiliated with a Singaporean company, I felt like I was surrounded by international guests aside from myself.
【Access】
Exceptional. It takes about 30 minutes by train from Hakata Airport. It's a bit of a walk from the station, but the lively surroundings make the walk feel less burdensome.
The nearby dining options are quite rich, and I was impressed by how many stylish places there are, reminiscent of Daikanyama in Tokyo.
【Room】
- The room is compact, but the bed is fluffy, the pillow is soft, and the curtains block out light exceptionally well. It’s optimized for sleeping; I could hardly tell it was morning when my alarm rang.
- The wash area has a small washbasin, which may be a bit inconvenient for women. There's no bathtub, just a shower.
- The room has a desk, which is great, and there are outlets at the desk and by the bed, so I was satisfied.
【Lounge】
There’s a shared lounge on the lobby floor, perfect for relaxing in the evening or morning. There's a balcony as well, so during this season, it feels wonderful to relax outside.
I also saw people working indoors, making it a great spot for workations.
【Amenities】
The room only has towels and a hairdryer, so you need to get items like toothbrushes from the front desk. Skincare products are not provided, so be sure to bring your own!
【Solo Use】
This time, hafh’s solo travel plan was the deciding factor for my reservation. I received a tumbler and cap as a perk. While there are many families at the hotel, I felt that the solo travelers made for a relatively quiet stay.
Experiences during the trip
The area around the hotel is filled with stylish shops and eateries, so I had no trouble finding places to eat. Every restaurant I visited this time was a hit!
◆ Nagahama Number One Tenjin Umaka Yokocho (5-minute walk)
Located in a food court, it’s easy to enter even for one person. Nagahama Number One is said to be a popular ramen spot in Hakata. This food court seemed to be relatively new, so it wasn't too crowded, making it a hidden gem!
◆ Qoomo 3D Latte Art Cafe & Bar (5-minute walk)
A great spot for fans! It opened in May 2025 and had good reviews, so I decided to check it out. The café menu is quite rich, but since I was there, I ordered the fan art latte. I had them make a latte art of my pet parakeet!
◆ NOOICE Tenjin (1-minute walk)
An Australian-style café. I visited for breakfast.
It’s a very popular place, and even on weekdays, customers started arriving right at the 9 AM opening time. An hour later, there was a line!
The food was indeed very delicious, and the menu with drinks came to about 2000 yen, but I still felt it was worth the price. Each dish had a careful flavor, and I was glad to have found a good place.
