Jr Kyushu Hotel Blossom Fukuoka

There are 3 JR Blossoms and I think the other two are newer and better hotels - this one is a little old and in need of a refurbishing We were disappointed with this hotel but I don’t think it’s the hotels fault I think it was sold poorly …meaning it wasn’t communicated clearly what standard this was - in saying all of that while it’s a little out you could walk into the centre and there were plenty of bars restaurants nearby Best about its location was it was 1 minute walk to the train station so when it was time to go we were very close Also the train station had heaps of shopping food places cafes etc so the location of the hotel for those purposes was really good The rooms were clean the beds comfortable and bathrooms a reasonable size for Japan which is good when you are an Australian couple The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful - they really were amazing and they were very kind Breakfast was very traditional Japanese and while it was interesting we thought we could have either western or Japanese but that was not the case The staff were very accommodating and helped us a lot which was great - really helpful although they couldn’t speak English they were very clear with communication Overall I feel this is a good mid range hotel just thought we had purchased a higher quality hotel but again that was not the hotels fault

I love the location, which is centralised although there are many choices. The rooms are clean and nice. Everything was well prepared. I have no complaints. Stayed for 3 nights.

Hotel is well located for Shinkansen travelers near the train station. However there was a strong smell of mildew and mold in the bathroom. I informed front desk staff who told me they would handle it. However during our mutli-night stay they never got rid of the smell, nor did they attempt to clean or offer us other rooms. There is no view from our room, we booked "superior" it didn't feel so superior. Breakfast offerings were limited to 4 choices, Japanese, Korean, Western and specialty. If you read this skip the Breakfast and just eat at nearby station restaurant as there is more selection. Great location otherwise it wasn't so wonderful.
