THE BLOSSOM KUMAMOTO

THE BLOSSOM KUMAMOTO

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed here in Kumamoto and loved it — rooms were super comfortable and clean, staff were really kind, and the location right above the station made everything easy. Only small thing, parking signage was a little confusing to find at first, but not a big deal. Would definitely stay again! 熊本滞在で泊まりましたが、すごく良かったです。お部屋は快適で清潔感があり、スタッフの方もとても親切でした。駅の真上という立地で移動もラクでした。強いて言うなら駐車場の案内が少し分かりにくかったですが、大した問題ではないです。また泊まりたいです!"

"El personal fue muy amable en todo momento. Nos facilitaron una báscula para pesar maletas .Tuvimos que usar un parking con convenio ya que el coche era más alto que el techo(cuidado), el encargado del parking estaba preocupado por si nos perdiamos. La habitación era conveniente, más grande que lo normal del país. Los baños estaban algo viejos, oxido alrededor de sanitarios. En la planta 3 había lavandería, al llegar olía bastante a tabaco."

8/10 Good
"The hotel room was a really good size, had a lot of room to place our luggage out. I loved how close it was to the train station, very walkable and convenient location! Only gripe was the AC does not work very well, it wasn't hot but defiantly wasn't cold at the max setting. There was a sign up explaining that there wasn't a designated AC per room, but rather for the whole hotel, so custom settings wouldn't work well. If you are okay with a warmer room, like during summer, I think it is perfect! But for me personally it was hard to sleep at night."
