Itoshima Vacations from $346

Lovely, peaceful hotel in a great location.

It’s a well known luxury hotel in Japan and everything was nicer and staff treat you with even more politer. (Japanese people are already polite). The hotel is away from the station and the taxi will cost 1,500 yen each way. The electrical plug was only one on the desk made difficult for us to charge multiple devices at the same time ( laptop, phone, headphones, extra batteries x 2 people). Technically there were another plug by the phone but it’s very slow….

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 room was spacious for 5 people. The place was very quiet and peaceful. Easy access to enter the building and room. The distance to the Canal City is not too far. Walking distance to Tenjin and Green line towards Hakata station and Tenjin station. I would recommend this place for the place and the location.
