Kumamoto hotel rooms a the Independent

"Decent room size and perfect location"

"We appreciated the location, and especially the staff. Most appreciated was the refund for our prepaid nights that we could no longer use due to changes in our schedule in Kumamoto. "

"Excellent location!"

"The hotel is very close to the train station, bus lines, and street cars. Staff was helpful and stored our luggage before we were able to check in. Breakfast buffet was included, although not recommended."

"a very pleasant hotel with many eateries within walking distances. a bit dated but very well kept."

"It’s a nice hotel, but there are a couple of things that they could improve! The location is close to the tram so I had no issues whatsoever. Staff was very nice and helpful and it’s nice not to do a check out (you have a code, no keys). On the first floor there’s an area where you can take some useful stuff like a toothbrush, a bar open at specific times and a restaurant. The restaurant is really high quality and I strongly recommend you try its local cuisine menu! On the second floor you have some rooms and additional services: - coin laundry and water refill station (super useful!) - onsen (wonderful!) - smoking area (unfortunately. The smell was often in the corridor, disgusting! Not what I want after the onsen) I’d change that, the fact that in certain hours there’s nobody at reception and the fact that they give you a ugly pj instead of yukata (come on!)"
