Service was the best!! We lost a luggage key and only realised it 3 days later. Kobayashi-san assisted us swiftly and even arranged delivery to our last hotel thankfully it got to us before we departed Japan. Once again many thanks to Kobayashi-san!
The view of Kumamoto Castle was excellent; too bad there is still construction going on to repair the castle after the 2016 earthquake. Even though the hotel is the closest to the castle, you will need to walk all the way to the South Gate to enter.
Parking slots are abundant so no worries. There are 3 washing machines and 3 dryers at the laundry room located near reception desk. Beds are comfy. Complimentary water is provided everyday.

Very good location.
Very good location to visit Kumamoto Castle on foot, and fantastic view of Castle is also available from the room. Major commercial district Ginaza Touri is also located in walking distance.

One thing we love this room is nearby the Kumamoto Castle. The amenities provided was so great. There are 4 coin op washer and dryer so this is very convenient when you have a big family of 5 to wash your clothes. The breakfast is traditional Japanese breakfast on the 4th floor. We love the ASO milk which was very creamy to our taste. There is a good space of parking on this property which is a plus. The have a housekeeping everyday. If you need to send out your heavy luggage, they have Yamato services as well. Staff do not speak English but its doable and they did their best to help us and communicate well. Kumamoto is a nice place to stay and will definitely go back if I have a chance to visit again.

Kumamoto castle is just in front of the hotel. It’s a stunning icon but you can see the scares that that the earthquake destroyed. The hotel is 10-15 mins from midtown and quieter. I was a solo traveler but was lucky enough since they gave me a twin bedroom which is spacious for me. The downside was accessing to the laundry where people need to walk in front of the reception. Also, if you expect western breakfast, it’s a bit limited. Overall, I had a good experience with such professional staff who offered the best and traditional services.

Good: Quick check-in and friendly staff. Nice view of castle from room.
Bad: Pillows are so flat that I can’t sleep well. TV seems like 2010 condition, remote control buttons are no sensitve and difficult to navigate.
Location a bit far from shopping street.

Overlooking the castle, this was in a great location, ands easy walk to the restaurants of the town. The room was classical and spacious well laid out. It was a short but very comfortable stay. Parking was very easy.

We enjoyed our stay here. The location is great for visiting Kumamoto Castle but it is a little far from the main shopping and restaurants.

It's right across from Kumamoto Castle Park. I wish I had booked a room on the castle view side, as there's not much to see from the other side. But the room was nice and remodeled in lovely greens. Very relaxing. I reserved a single room, but was given a twin room. Loved all the space and large bathroom with full suze bathtub.

Excellent view of Kumamoto castle from the room. Breakfast was decent. Overall hotel is showing its age though and its not in the best location overall (we drove so it didn't matter so much).
