This is the second time my family has chosen to stay at this hotel as we have previously enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed the breakfast provided, as they had a good spread. The amenities provided were good and sufficient (e.g free drinks available, bicycles etc.) We especially liked using the bicycles to get around the surrounding area (e.g supermarket, restaurants) which made it very convenient to explore the area. However, during our stay we were disappointed by the service provided by the front desk. They were unfriendly and seemed unapproachable due to their facial expression. Although we understand that there is language barrier. However, they were unhelpful in answering our queries and always said “I don’t know” instead of checking on the internet etc. We had a few unpleasant encounters. For example, we had to go to the hospital and asked the front desk if the hospital opposite our hotel was open and the lady at the front desk just replied “I don’t know”. I think she could have at least googled or use google translate if she didn’t understand us. However, she dismissed us and appeared nonchalant to our query. I also dropped one of my custom hard lenses into the sink and needed someone to open the pipe to retrieve it. When we approached the front desk, a senior staff came up and when he saw it he just said “no” a few times, waved his hands and walked off. I think that’s quite rude and dismissive. My daughter had to go down and ask again and emphasize it was ¥100,000

Good hotel in a busy neighborhood
The hotel was very nice, the rooms were clean and had lots of amenities (refrigerator, water cooker, toiletries, hair dryer, etc.). There is also a laundry room with washers and dryers on one of the floors. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, offering Japanese food as well as Western type of breakfast items. The only complaint we had was the location in a super busy neighborhood - right next to the train tracks, underneath a busy highway bridge and with lots of airplanes flying overhead. If you are looking for a nice hotel for just the night as you explore beautiful Fukuoka and vicinity (parking was free!) then that place is just perfect. If you prefer a hotel you can take walks from and enjoy a beautiful surrounding, you might want to look for something else.

Hotel Overall
A little far fr town but make up for its facilities like bicycles available to cycle to nearby shopping centers n eateries . Command of English is poor by staff (reception) . Unable to understand what we ask n spoke about. Thumbs up to the free bfast provided . Good choices of Jap selections n English scrambled eggs. One weired thing is u have to pay ¥100 for extra pillows or towels although it sh be free as hotel guest . Nvr heard of other hotels I’ve stayed in asking guest to pay for extra towels n pillows (amenities).One good point is it’s 8 mins walk to e nearby Kaizuka Subway station that takes u to Hakata n Tienjin .,Given a choice , I rather stay ard Hakata or Tienjin area.

Too far away!
I booked a room for 4 and it is quite unreasonable to charge me for getting 2 more pillows, with only 2 in my room. Too far from the city area even by self driving.

Room too small
Booking website child age should limit to 12 years old because child is not provided with anything. According to one of the staff, child stay is free. So nothing provided. But we expect minimum pillow is provided. First day checking staff is wonderful, friendly and helpful. Last day lady staff is horrible. Black face all the way. Like we are owing her a living.

not best place for non-Asian
Had big problem with English, staff was not being able even to explain to taxi driver where I need to go (and do not even try to speak English to taxi drivers outside of Tokyo). Also, for the price you pay, conditions were mediocre - we had much better and cheaper hotel in Asakusa, Tokyo

Clean suburban hotel near subway station
Very clean hotel. Room was quiet even though I was on the ground floor not far from the lobby - good soundproofing. Room was very spacious by Japanese standards. The area is very suburban in nature so not very exciting - the only things nearby are a couple of restaurants (adjacent) and a giant pachinko parlour across the street. But the hotel is a short walk from the subway station and the city centre is only a short ride away. The free continental breakfast in the morning was excellent with a lot of choice. Great value. Would stay again.

Actually a good hotel. The only down for us was unable to book the non-smoking room. (Of course this is my problem) Free parking is a plus to us. Breakfast was good. And they serve complimentary coffee throughout the day. Will definitely come again in the future.

nice hotel with easy access to subway
check in was a breeze; even though I arrived early the staff was eager to help and found me a room with no hassle. The room was a nice size for a Japanese hotel . Each morning there was a free breakfast consisting of coffee, juice, an egg sandwich, miso soup, rice with seaweed, very adequate to start the day. In the room there was a refrigerator to save any uneaten food for later. On my floor was the coin laundry. Vending machines for drinks were readily available.

I recommend this hotel.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The room was really nice and the bed was super comfortable. The room was very quiet despite being near a busy street. The service was pretty good and the complimentary breakfast, albeit small, was enough to get me going for my day. The area around the hotel was very interesting with the park and university nearby but I did not get a chance to fully explore due to other travel plans.

Free parking, good breakfast
We booked this place because of it's free parking and only 15 mins drive to the airport, it served its purpose. The buffet breakfast was quite good! There isn't much nearby if you're not driving tho.

Thumbs up.
A great place to start off our trip in Kyushu 4/14 Nov2015! Quite a number of eateries nearby for those who want to experience some local fare and also conveniently close to the expressway for those who drive, where a hugh carpark awaits at the entrance of the hotel. The front desk team was very efficient and helpful as well as those in the restaurant, where a pretty good breakfast is served daily. A selection of coffee/green tea (complimentary) is provided daily from the dispenser/coffee machine from 0900/2100 hours, a good touch for those wanting to rest their tired legs after a day of walking. Will look forward to staying at Vessel Fukuoka Kaisuka again when we next visit Fukuoka.

The room is clean with two queen size beds that we're not expected in Japan. All the staffs in reception lobby are very helpful. Wifi is cover everywhere in the hotel. Only the location is one bus stop out of the day pass zone. Over all this is a hotel that We recommended to stay.

Impressed - Inexpensive, Clean, and Well-equiped, but disadvantage for location.
As like 'Review Title', This hotel is inexpensive, clean, and well-equiped. and people of this hotel are nice and kind enough to give you an answer whatever you may ask. I know nothing about japanese language but I had no problem to visit several places of the city, because of their help. room and bathroom are very very clean. Also this hotel provides free breakfast mixed with breads and traditional japanese food. I think that foreigners can afford it. The only disadavantage of this hotel is location. it is not located in the center of that city, but it;s not far from it. It's just 20 minutes distant from the center of city.
