Very pleasant stay. Staff friendly and courteous. Walking distance to the shopping area and Kumamoto Castle. The bus station is diagonally across the hotel.
The hotel is quite near to the Kumamoto station and also the tram stop which get to the attractions pretty easy. The room we stayed was clean but can feel the mattress springs which made us difficult to sleep. Pillow also too soft! Buffet Breakfast spread considered quite good.
A very familiar and recognisable experience (having Toyoko Inn's standard layout and facilities/amenities and complimentary breakfast). Room was compact yet functional (we could fit a 28" and 20" luggage bag). Room was clean although there was an unpleasant stench from our toilet drainage throughout the stay.
Perfect as a place to shower and sleep for my family of 2 adults and 2 kids, probably not for those intending to spend long hours in the room.
Convenient location next to Kumamoto station. Parking available in the hotel (car lift system with a helpful attendant) at a fee of 1000 yen/day (multiple entry allowed) (it was the cheapest parking in that area and with the convenience of being on-site, the best option).
Overall a great base for Kumamoto.
Far one of the best hotel I stayed in kyushu. The rooms were clean. Onsen was a good experience. They offer complimentary welcome drinks which you can choose between beer and soft drink. You can also try their midnight soy ramen for free. Would definitely choose dormy inn on my next trip
