Candeo Hotels Kumamoto Shinshigai

10/10 Excellent

"立地もよく施設も綺麗で良かったです。大浴場が夜通し使用出来ることが特に良かったです！"

THE BLOSSOM KUMAMOTO

8/10 Good

"One of the nicest hotels I didn't really love. Facilities are excellent and the aroma that greets you at the elevator entrance on the ground floor is wonderfully welcome. Staff is also great and I loved the location sandwiched between the train station and Amu Plaza, both with plenty of delightful dining and shopping. Where is falls short for me is in the quality of sleep it provided. The bed was comfortable enough, but I was glad I had my travel pillow with me because I wasn't digging theirs. I visited during a July heat wave, so it was miserable outside and that carried over inside as well. With a west-facing room, I had to close the blackout curtain by early afternoon or feel the radiant heat coming off the window. Even then, I dropped the AC to 21c and it was not enough to make the room feel 'cool.' Worse yet, whatever ambient humidity plus the fabric of the sheets made for an unpleasant stickiness that kept me tossing and turning all night. A couple of other heat-related nits that stopped me from loving the hotel: the room's toilet seat was heated with no option to turn it off (it was one of the newer, streamlined controllers). Absolutely unnecessary in a Japanese summer. And the breakfast -- which was good but not great -- is served in a restaurant that has a wall of windows taking in all the morning sun, which leaves most of the tables baking and half of those seats staring directly into a massive fireball. Semi-sheer shades would make all the difference."

Nest Hotel Kumamoto

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at Kumamoto Nest Hotel was excellent. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for my stay. I especially appreciated having breakfast available each morning. Fresh towels, a robe, and slippers were provided daily, which was a nice touch. The staff were helpful and friendly throughout my visit. Another big advantage was that everything I needed was within walking distance. This was my first visit to Japan, and the hotel exceeded my expectations. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to other travelers."
