Hotel Trad Hakata

Great bathroom in terms of the size and the water pressure of the shower is great too. Air conditioner works well and cool enough even the lowest temperature can only be set as 20 degree Celsius. 7-11 and drugstore are just downstairs. Be aware the drugstore is not 7x24, but from 9am to 12am. There is welcome drink in the afternoon with wide range of choices from soft drink, coffee, tea to corn soup. Location is not near subway station, so taxi would not be a bad option as the city is small. There is a hotel shuttle bus to Hakata station. Walking distance to Hakata Canal city, within 10 mins walk.

The location is fantastic—just a short walk from Sumiyoshi Shrine and Canal City Hakata, with a paid parking right next to hotel. The breakfast buffet, blending Japanese and Western options, is a hightlight. Rooms are spacious for the price, but some may find them dimly lit. The staff is friendly, and freebies like bath salts add a nice touch. Overall, it’s a great value for a central, comfortable stay in Fukuoka.

The hotel provides shuttle bus service in the morning to the metro station. It also has a convenient store downstairs. Overall, I recommend this hotel to people who come to Fukuoka.
