Fukui Manten Hotel Ekimae

Maybe I missed something, but I didn't get the impression there was a lot to do in Fukui city. The "action", meaning restaurants, shops, etc. , seemed to be clustered around the station. Fukui Manten Hotel is right next to the station, so the location is excellent. My room was typical Japan clean and pleasant, slightly more spacious than a lot of other rooms I've stayed in here. I thoroughly enjoyed the public bath, which was relaxing and also relatively spacious. When I reserved, I opted for the breakfast, and wasn't disapointed. You get a choice of "western" or "Japanese" style set, and then things like rice, breads, salad bar, yogurt, juice, coffee, are help yourself style. All in all, fresh, tasty, and easy to fill up. The staff was friendly and efficient. I arrived early on a rainy day and could leave my luggage with them while I went out to explore the area before checking in. The next day, I could leave my luggage with them again after checking out and then I was off to visit Eiheiji Temple (by bus from the station). Being right next to the train and bus station, the hotel makes a good base for exploring some of the highlights of Fukui Prefecture. Overall, I had a very nice stay. Thanks!

Short walk from train station Lots of restaurants and shops between hotel and train station.

--------

Nice onsen, nice sauna, near every thing, easy parking

The sauna temperature could be higher and the cold bath could be lower

Next to the train station. Prime location close to the JR train station. Rooms were clean and cozy too. Free ramen serves at the second floor.

You need to pick up the amenities at the lobby.

Excellent breakfast, clean room, good amenities, my husband enjoyed hot spring. I requested and received extra blanket for my child. They provide extra pillow too. I needed extra pillow because I am pregnant. I would repeat this hotel if I come here.

I forgot to include breakfast for my stay. I asked if we can purchase add-on breakfast for the next day but the answer vary between staffs. The answer I was given ‘We cannot confirm yet but please ask again later’, then, ‘no breakfast bcs it’s already full’ but when we asked again during the evening, they said they can provide the breakfast. I hope this could improve later because the staff who said ‘no’ seems cold to me.

Location was perfect, both for train travel and evening meals. Also having a laundry was great.

External signage. We were right there and didn't realize until we googled address and found we were right outside and saw the English sign which doesn't face outward.

The front desk staff were nice, the breakfast was ok, two choices of western or japanese breakfast, mini buffet of salads, soups, bread. Free freshly-cooked ramen from 2130-2230. Nice public bath with indoor and outdoor onsen, with a cold pool and sauna as well. Fresh towels and kimonos provided everyday as we requested not to clean the room. They also provided kid stuff like toothbrush and slippers. Coffee and water provided in lobby for free. Available coin laundry on site. Umbrellas provided during rainy days.

Room was a bit small. Cleaning staff weren't as helpful with our request to clean out the trash.

Near the station. The room was clean.

The staff mainly spoke japanese, so it was difficult to have a conversation. The receptionist didn't have a lot of information about the restaurants around.The room wasn't soundproof.

The location next to the train station and many restaurants was just perfect! The beds are comfortable, staff always friendly. We would definitely stay there again.

There was a squeezing noice from the window at night when it was windy. But there was a construction site outside and the windows did cancel the sound completely. That was great.

It is very close to the station so the location is great. Room exceeded my expectations, the hotel doesn't have a modern look but I liked the classic feel it had.

3 minutes walk from the station, room is spacious and clean too. The staff tries their best of communicating with limited English and always have a big smile.

Nothing much really.

Loved that it's located next to the train station. I assume most tourists go to Fukui for the dino museum, so having the hotel be so close to the station was a major bonus. I also loved the area as there were good places to eat and drink at night.

Felt a bit dated and old, like it's a business hotel past its prime.

Close to station

1 pillow and hard bed

Cool hotel with all amenities available close by. Right by the station is extremely helpful for on the go sightseeing. Extremely helpful staff with the kiosk style check in offering lots of information about the stay. For our circumstance of a single night, this was a perfect fit, though staying longer would still be comfortable.

Seperate hot and cold taps for the shower. That's not a terrible thing. It just stood out against other places.

Okay for the night. Clean. Business hotel with the little perks for working people (laundry machines, onsen...)

In front of train tracks so opening the window at night is not an option. If you can sleep with the window closed, it's a good hotel. If you can't, you're in for a short and noisy night.

The room was spacious even with my luggage and very close to the station. The bed was very comfortable. Would love to stay in again.

There was a choice of Japanese and Western food, and the Western one was not bad.

The staying price is high, but every facilities are poor.

Very very close to JR Fukui Stn

Staff did not cater to international guests. Little to no English soeaking

We love the location and location and location. The facilities are also very new, modern and clean.

Nothing so far

Staff were super friendly & helpful. Really makes for a lovely stay. Good size rooms, very clean & great location. Recommend highly!
