Nishitetsu Grand Hotel
8/10 Good
"The staff outside of the hotel and the parking staff are not helpful , not helping to move the luggage to the car for two old ladies until we ask for help. The hotel location is good , the room size is ok but the toilet has strong smell. It has own parking charge 12000 per night. The reception staff was nice and helpful ."
"The hotel is near the one of busiest downtown area in Fukuoka with many of night clubs and bars within walking distance. The hotel itself has modern urban vibe to it especially as you walk in the staff was very helpful and there is a really good restaurant near the reception desk that has a good selection western and Japanese food for breakfast, there's even a barat the lobby itself so you come down for some drinks The only knock I would give them is there was any supplies such as toothbrushes or savers like other hotels but that is minor inconvenience. Over all if you are ever in Fukuoka Japan, The Lively is a great place to stay as you explore the city."
"This hotel is very conveniently located next to the OCAT and the Station. Everything is automated from the check in at a Kiosk, forwarding your luggage, and even storing your luggage is all done through your phone or a kiosk. If you make it error, it is time consuming bc you are not dealing with help from customer service. You have to figure it out yourself. I loved that the 7-11 was inside the hotel. The rooms were very clean. It's a big hotel so a lot of people go through the system so I get why its automated. I would book this hotel again although on the pricy side for it convenience to transportation."
"I stayed here simply to get the experience of staying in a capsule hotel. After having done it, it’s not to my preference but if I was in a pinch, or was traveling on a tighter budget, I’d 100% stay here again. Super convenient location, nice area to relax in and plenty of space for washing up. It’s a little odd to me not having onsite staff you can talk to, but it was still super convenient.
My only issues were the noise at night (I’m sure we’re all shocked) and the cleanliness of the showers specifically, they could use a renovation. Otherwise it was quite nice."
