The hotel is in a good location near to the shopping district however the room assigned to us and our child was very cramped with hardly any walking space and we are unable to open up our luggage. And there are wardrobe to hand our jackets, only 4 wall hangers. The shower room is also tiny and no space to hang up the toilets. Not suitable for families.

It's a premier hotel inside the Sakuramachi shopping center. The central bus terminal is in the building as well. It's 10-15 minutes walk to Kumamoto Castle and Tsuruya department store. If it had a self-service laundry, it would be perfect!
