THE BLOSSOM KUMAMOTO

THE BLOSSOM KUMAMOTO

8/10 Good
"The Blossom Hotel Kumamoto is hard to find as was advised in the reviews! It ‘s front door is very tall and right up against the Station building!, we found it ok. It is a great hotel in every way and the buffet breakfast was the best that we had on our 16 night trip. The food at breakfast was all labelled with allergens ( gluten free, dairy free, etc) . The quality and choices at breakfast are spot on! Staff are friendly and helpful! We were basically the only Westerners there.! The room was big enough for the three of us and the beds were comfy. Would certainly stay there again!"
