APA HOTEL Fukuoka Watanabedori Ekimae EXCELLENT

Convenient and accommodating staff.

A simple hotel just a place to sleep. Bed is not comfortable, sagging mattress. Old towels. There's nothing to see in the area.

Not a very nice hotel, a little old but clean mo problem. But they really don’t like foreigners and it is easy to see from how they treat you. Never again

Extremely comfortable & clean room, very spacious for a single room at a business hotel, by Japanese standards -- felt great being there. Only disadvantage is that it's not on the main subway line from the airport, so there's a little bit of extra walking involved to get there -- could be inconvenient for someone hauling a lot of luggage.

The overall experience was fair for the price, in terms of hotel condition and facilities. Two incidents left a negative impression with me though: 1) when my wife arrived at the hotel a day after I checked in, we were told the hotel could not issue her a separate key card (the room was booked for 2 people). Because we had separate appointments we had no choice but to leave the sole key card at reception to allow the other person access to the room. No explanation was given by the staff but I’ve not experienced this with a modern hotel using electronic room locks where the room is booked for 2 people; 2) we asked reception to help us make restaurant reservations at some local restaurants but they refused. We explained we needed help as we are not fluent in Japanese, so we could not do so ourselves, but they asked us to try booking online (which was not an option at the restaurants we wanted to dine at) or calling for ourselves. When we insisted they reluctantly tried making one call but it so happened the restaurant was not yet open. Normally we would ask front desk to follow up later making a booking, but we decided not to bother given their reluctance. We were left with no choice but to dine elsewhere because of their unhelpful attitude. For these reasons we will not be patroning this hotel in future. YMMV but buyer beware.
