Yame Vacations from $300

There is a local tax that was unexpected and it required cash.

There is a front desk but it is unmanned. Check-in and check-out is done via a tablet and a magnet board respectively. They offer refreshing small health drinks in the entryway which was very nice! The rooms are clean, fully stocked with amenities and offer a sense of luxury for brief or extended stays. If you are unaccustomed to the size of typical Japanese hotel rooms, it is bit small but offered just enough room for 2 with a full kitchen, bathroom and balcony. The location is in a neighborhood that includes regular local businesses, schools and a brief 10 minute walk from the nearest station. Overall, a pleasant and recommended stay for anyone looking for a quiet, clean environment.

This is our second time at THE GATE HOTEL FUKUOKA by HULIC. I love this hotel as its newly built with modern finishes in the guest room. We stayed in a Corner Double Room and it's so spacious. There is a short hallway with a mirror as you walk in. The toilet/bidet is in a separate room; it has a sensor so the lid opens as you get closer. The wash room includes the wash basin, with the separate bath tub and shower sectioned off with a sealed door. The bed is huge for two people, but the pillows were fairly average as it tends to sink as you sleep. While there is no public bath (sento), the bath tub in the room makes up for it. There is also a Nespresso machine with 4 pods but we didn't use it during our stay. The breakfast here is one of, if not, the best. Freshly squeezed orange juice as you enter. You are then asked if you prefer the French toast, eggs benedict or Japanese style breakfast for your main. There is honey comb at the buffet, a teppan with a chef to cook a selection of vegetables, as well as Western and Japanese options. It is directly connected to the Tenjin subway so it's convenient. Lots of shopping options nearby so you can hop out of your room and stumble into the various malls surrounding this hotel including ONE FUKUOKA. Also lots of food options so you're spoilt for choice. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

The Hotel was new, so clean and beautiful. Near to places and really good if you are going with your family.

Nice place to be, close to everything a traveller would need.
