Kenchomae Green Hotel

Since I'd somehow ended up in a smoking room, the staff were lovely and willing to accommodate me, but unfortunately, the hotel itself is older, and some things never come out of the walls. If you're smoke sensitive, be aware that there may be no rooms that won't cause an issue.

Smoke baked into carpet, tile, walls. Fortunately, not the bedding

It was very close to Luffy station and walking distance of chopper’s. Fukuoka airport limousine stops a few minutes down the street which made settling in less of a hassle.

Transport is more infrequent than what I was expecting which slowed down moving around Kumamoto. Hotel was 50 minutes by bus away from JR station.

It was near the bus stop, and right across lawsonWalking distance to the park tooStaf were friendly and helpful

Laundry is outside the hotel, and only 1 machine. We ended not doing laundry at all since there was a line

As I mentioned previously the property is good located for my visits. The environment is convenient, so it’s easy to reach the center of the city and the Kumamoto zoo is just about 15 minutes of walk away.

This time I found property not that clean as I use to. With dust in the corners of my room and on the flour.

Price per value, very responsive staff, regular cleaning, superior traditional Japanese breakfast

Since this is not the first time I have stayed at this hotel, I don’t have many new impressions. It was convenient for me to get to the places I wanted to visit. Everything in the hotel was as I remembered. The area is familiar, close to shops and walking areas. You can eat in any price range nearby. The very center of the city is easily accessible by tram, which is what I usually did, or by bus, which I am well aware of, but do not use. :)

Everything was fine. Except... the laundry didn't work at the hotel, but... the new 24-hour laundry is very close to the hotel. There are powerful washing machines and dryers there.

This hotel is consistently good. There are floors for smokers and non-smokers. I choose a smoking room not because I smoke, but because I can easily light incense there. This year many new restaurants have opened nearby. There is a large food store within walking distance and a convenience store right across the street. Modern laundry is close to the food store. So, the hotel and area around are very convenient.

It’s probably strange to suggest that a Japanese hotel should also have a European breakfast. :) Maybe the laundry room could be better equipped... not everything is clear with the use of equipment in the lobby. But in general, anything can be asked, and fast and powerful (and inexpensive) laundry is just around the corner. :)
