Shikanoshima Island hotel rooms a the Ishin

"This hotel was our base for 7 nights, split across two bookings, primarily due to its unbeatable location right across from Hakata Station. TLDR: We would definitely book this hotel again if we had the chance, but mainly because of the location and the service. LOCATION: Being next to Hakata Station offers incredible convenience with direct access to multiple shopping malls and easy, affordable transit to the airport (a 15-minute, $25 USD taxi for 5 people with 6 bags, or an easy subway ride if you're traveling light). A drugstore and convenience store are also steps away. ROOM: Our Superior Twin room (approx. 250 sq/ft) was a good size and generally clean, though the carpet had some stains. The AC and air filter was excellent, but the Wi-Fi was inconsistent, frequently disconnecting despite fast speeds when working. Blackout curtains excellent and windows allow for slight opening if needed. Besides that, they have in-building coin-op laundry service on 2 floors. Their breakfast was just okay. SERVICE: The staff were genuinely helpful and courteous. Most front-desk staff spoke English well, assisting us with calls to a local clinic and arranging taxis (for a fee). TIP: If you really need a taxi, get the 'GO' taxi app. You can call a taxi yourself w/ that. Very easy to use and they accept US credit card payments."

"We've stayed at Miyako Hotel Hakata several times, and every visit is always wonderful. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the breakfast is amazing and generous, and the facilities are excellent. The location is perfect, too. We love that the hotel offers both a relaxing public bath and an outdoor pool. The staff are always warm and welcoming."

"One of my favorite hotels in Fukuoka. It is right on the subway line (for direct access to/from the airport) and located close to canal city with convenient access to restaurants and shops. Rooms are comfortable and larger than average."

"Upscale property in a great location. "
