THE BASICS FUKUOKA

The breakfast included some items that were already cooked, repetitive for a stay of several days. Overall, it was a mediocre meal. The hotel is stunning. The lobby is gorgeous, with wonderful artwork in various locations, including just off the elevators on the second floor, the lobby itself, and their club room. Speaking of which, nothing particularly special about the offerings in the club room. No service person on duty. Just help yourself to some wine and soft drinks. Our room there was spacious, well-appointed, and within an easy walk to Hakata train station.

The hotel is located about a 10-minute walk from the station. It’s also conveniently located, just a short taxi ride to the airport (less than 15 minutes). The lobby was nicely decorated and makes for a great first impression. The room was clean and reasonably spacious (we booked a Chapter 3 Corner Twin), and the bathroom was also a good size. Overall, it was a comfortable stay, though fairly standard and nothing particularly memorable. Basement parking is available on site, but spaces are limited. We returned late one night to find it full and had to park at a privately run carpark just in front of the hotel instead (which, on the bright side, was actually cheaper than the hotel’s parking).

everything excellent

Nice location, no frills, rooms are small, service is decent.

We had a great stay. We booked 2 family rooms and it was so nice to have so much space to open the luggages and have space to walk around. The breakfast was amazing too!

Nice hotel with a good location in Fukuoka

The checking time is 3PM. However, Japanese visitors were allowed to check in but not us

It is a short walking distance to the Hakata station

All very excellent!!

Everything was amazing

Super friendly staff. Clean property. Great location. Big room. Pillows were too soft and small. Bath towels were small.

The room was spacious, nice and clean. The beds are very comfortable. The hotel decor like a library looks beautiful. The staff was nice and helpful. The free parking is very convenient. The breakfast has a lot of varieties so everyone can find something of its liking. The location is convenient, very close to the subway and the airport.

Convenient & clean

Only a brief stopover as had an early flight, but everything was good, a little frustrating the restaurant closed 7:30pm.

A bit of a walk to Hakata station. Lobby was amazing. Room was standard.

This is my 2nd time to stay at this property. I love the club lounge access and closeness to the station. Its quiet and clean room. If i come back to fukuoka, I will stay here again.

Good location with secure parking. Close proximity to transportation and shopping.

Great location, beautiful lobby and helpful staff. Room is spacious and comfortable. Things that I don’t like: pillows are to soft and uncomfortable. Shower curtain smells. But overall, a very pleasant stay

Lean rooms and good location. Quiet and safe.

We've stayed in "nice" hotels around the world. The lobby of The Basics is stunning. One of the most beautiful hotel spaces we've seen. Our room was comfortable with a very good bed and some terrific features such as ambient lighting. However, our room lacked a dresser for unpacking our clothes. There were no safety bars in the shower. The provided slippers and sleeping clothes did not fit, even though we are not large people. The staff could not provide properly sized items. We had an upgraded room, which included "club level" privileges. The club room is pleasant, although not up to the standards of so many others. There is no service staff available. Very limited self-service beverage options and no breakfast or special food offerings. The beautiful rotunda lobby has massive bookshelves containing a wonderful, eclectic assortment of books, all available for your reading or perusal. Artwork abounds in this hotel. Check out the fabulous series of porcelain dolls on the second floor. We had breakfast in their dining room, and the menu was a mix of Western and Japanese dishes. It was OK. It's a short walk from the train station with many food choices in the neighborhood. Although the very best restaurants in Fukuoka are at least a ten-minute or more cab ride away.
