The western style twin beds were clean and comfortable apart from the normal Japanese hard pillows. The legless chairs with cushions were set on a tatami platform and it overlooked a residential area & trees. The shower room was clean and well appointed. As usual there was little room for suitcases except in the corridor by the tea making...

Top Higashi Ward Hotel Reviews

Hotel Nikko Kumamoto

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff and check in experience. 5 star for sure."

THE BLOSSOM KUMAMOTO

10/10 Excellent

"We couldn't find it at first because it's part of AMU Plaza; there is a (slightly hidden) entrance next to the Station with a direct elevator which was helpful but hard to find. If you don't find that entrance, then take any elevator to the 7th floor and find the only elevator that goes to the 9th floor. Once you find it once its pretty easy. The hotel is beautiful; you can see why it is a wedding spot. The room was nice and quiet. We didn't try their restaurant, choosing others within Amu Plaza."
