Hotel Route Inn Hakata Ekimae

Helpful and kind staff, very clean room, next to Hakata station

The fridge was sufficiently cold, while the air conditioner could use some cleaning. Although it was quiet, the bed felt quite hard, making for an uncomfortable stay.

Walking 3 minutes from JR Hakata station from second floor of the pedestrian deck is the best way to go there from the station.

Super Convenient. Friendly professional staffs.

Accessible and easy to locate. Bridge (lift-accessible) outside of hotel links to Hakata Station's malls. Breakfast was good too!

Great easy hotel with the ideal location next to train station

This main advantage of this hotel is its location, 3 minutes walk, across the street from Hakata station. It does have a good, hot onsen in the basement. Other than that the facilities are very worn and tired. Breakfast was basic. Everything was clean. Good for a quick stay, just to sleep.

Very convenient location and the staff greeted us in the driveway. The room was ready before check in time. Room is a bit small, but typical for Japan. We like the fact that breakfast is a pre-pay option and they have a hotel onsen.

Nice budget hotel, staff very nice, includes decent breakfast buffet. Onsen spa is wonderful, but hand rail would help older guests.

Absolutely amazing! I wish I could stay more in this lovely hotel- it’s very close to the Hakata Station, and very close to a FamilyMart! The staff is very friendly and a few can speak English well! I love the adorable Sheep mascot and plushie! I would come to Hakata again, just for this hotel!

👍

Staff were very helpful for me finding a bus to the port.

Nice place to stay, the AC worked great

I liked the large public bath and breakfast! I will use this hotel again.

Loved the closeness to the train station and food and shopping.

I chose the Hotel Route-Inn because of its proximity to the main railway station and bus station since most shops, bars and restaurants tend to be situated around stations in Japanese cities. Although my room was ready at 12.00 noon I was told to come back at 3.00pm for check in. This is where Japanese efficiency meets inflexibility. It makes no sense to make people wait unnecessarily when their room is already ready. I wanted to go to a large supermarket while waiting to check in, but three times the girl at reception tried to send me to the convenience store at the railway station that did not sell what I wanted. Eventually I had to go to the information at the station to be directed to the bus station to take a No. 30 to Aeon Mall half an hour away. Here they had all that I wanted and more. The hotel room was quite small, but the space was manageable and it was clean although I do not understand the Japanese obsession with dark brown carpets and duvet covers. The mattress was comfortable, but the two small pillows were rock hard. They felt like they were filled with horsehair and bamboo. They gave me neck ache and so I had a sleepless night. Also, the air-conditioner was ineffective and so I was hot too. Not good! There were no Western dishes (fruit, cereal, etc) at breakfast. Only Japanese fare.

Hotel is connected by a flyover - within 3 mins walk to Hakata Station subway and JR and Shankeisan. Shopping malls are round with lots of restaurants. Onsite onsen hotbath is good. Good buffet breakfast which is included in room rate.

Superb Location😊 just opposite Hakata Station easy to reach by bus from Fukuoka international airport or by train from domestic

Great location for the hotel. However, there is a parking restriction for cars over 1.8m. We parked at the open space parking lot next door but the charge for parking was much higher. Rooms are small and renovation is a bit old. Still overall cleanliness and condition is good.

水回りが少し古かった。 他は快適でした。
