The location was excellent, just a short distance from the hotel was an entrance to the “Gion” metro (orange line); the same line as for Fukuoka Airport, which made getting to the airport so convenient. Also the next stop on this line is the Hakata Main Station. In the Hotel foyer, there was a tourist brochure, the “Fukuoka Old Town”, which had a map of the historic buildings close by, including the beautiful Tochoji Temple. The room was clean, comfortable; the air conditioner worked well and which you could manually adjust. The reception staff were very helpful and courteous.

-Excellent Location, very close to subway Gion station exit 5,6 -Clean and modern hotel

Limited choices of breakfast

Very clean and very convenient for subway, cafes and reasonably-priced restaurants. Self check-in a tad cumbersome but staff were on hand willing to help complete the process. The hotel is close to many of the temples and shrines in Old Hakata. It is walking distance to Hakata mainline train station and you pass many good cafes along the way. It is also walkable to Canal City for shopping and dining options. The single room booked actually has a double bed which is a bonus. Although room size is rather small, it is as expected of many Fukuoka hotels. It is well designed so that you do not feel cramped after as provision is made for luggage storage under the bed. Rooms are cleaned every 3 days but a new set of linens are provided each day. Will recommend this hotel.

It would be ideal to have at least one front desk staff who is fluent in English. However, they so make good use of online translation app.

Hotel lobby is very nice. I like the elegant chandelier. The location is very good. It is near a subway station and a bus stop. Check in and check out process is convenient. Room is clean with useful amenities. Helpful and courteous

Communication is a challenge. English is hardly spoken or understood by reception staff. They are nice but it is frustrating to convey some messages regarding some concerns and requests. Needed to use google translate for the arrangement to leave our large pieces of luggage for one day in there, Apa Hotel Hakata Gion since we are proceeding to Hiroshima for an overnight stay in Apa Hotel Hiroshima (bringing only small pieces of luggage) and come back at same hotel to stay two more nights. Ended up "paying" for another "one night stay" just to leave our three large pieces of luggage !! Hoped there was a better arrangement for us, Apa Hotel clients.

The hotel is pretty new and has a very good location, just next to a subway exit. The hotel is also close to the central station and the airport. They have self check in, and the staff will help if you encounter any problems. The room was very clean and functional, with a small fridge and a kettle, but there's no microwave though. There's a big TV in the room. The breakfast was decent and good value.

The standard room is very small, 9-10 square meters. It is even smaller than an inside cabin on a cruise ship. There's no wardrobe, no luggage rack. There's almost nowhere to put your luggage. There are some hooks on the wall though where you can hang your clothes and backpacks. I would give it 10 if the room was a bit bigger.

The location was great- right outside exit 5 of gion station. Take exit 6 if you need the elevator else it’s stairs for you for exit 5. Amenities are hung outside your door (on 3rd day of the stay they will come in to cleanup). Soundproofing was good and there are blackout curtains. The checkin process using the machine was smooth and checkout by dropping keycard in machine box was cool too!

The bed was sunk in the middle. Space is very tight and I could barely open my luggage

The location was excellent—within walking distance from Hakata station. The reception staff is very polite and friendly. Most of them do not speak English well, but they help you out of the way. The facilities in the hotel are good. They do have a luggage storage facility.

For vegetarian people, their breakfast is not at all recommended. They should include some fruits for vegetarian people. Even there is no bread toaster. The rooms are a bit small and jam-packed but comfortable for one person.

Small but functional and very comfortable room. Very good bed with several pillows of different hight and shape. Nicely decorated room and large TV screen. Wifi and air conditioning worked well, and the bathroom was very well equipped. The staff is extremely polite and helpful. Excellent location close to Gion subway station (use Exit 5). The subway line goes directly to the airport.

Breakfast was good, but not excellent. The coffee was very basic. Earliest check-in time was rather late (3 pm). The check-out time was 10 am, which is unacceptably early; no free extention was granted (cost 1000 yen/hour). Several members of the front desk staff did not speak English at all.

The location is superb. Easily access to Gion subway station and also Gion Machi bus stop. For subway, the Exit 5 is in front of the hotel but if you have luggages, using the Exit 6 which has elevator and not too far from the hotel's entrance.

The double bed in my room was big enough for comfort but I think because the other side of the bed is the window so most guest probably sit or sleep just one side. So when I lay down, it's quite slope that I'm afrain I'm having a backache.

Rooms were clean and slightly larger than I expected. It was designed with the lack of space in mind. For example, you could stow your luggage under the bed. The toilet is clean and nice. The TV is large and you can mirror your laptop if you wanna enjoy your own shows. The location is great. Next to GION station and 7 minutes away on foot to Hakata station. Checking out is also quick and convenient. Drop your card and onward to your next destination.

The pillows were a little too hard for my taste.
