Hakata and Fukuoka are well worth visiting. However this hotel was quite problematic due to the room size being tiny - even by Japanese standards. Also the included breakfast was just bread rolls with drinks, with no gluten free options. Admittedly we spent very little time in the room. I also felt that it was not very close to the Shinkansen exit (despite its name), so the room size, limited breakfast and location should all be taken into consideration. Despite the aforementioned limitations, it is still recommended to come to this hotel if it helps to achieve your travel objectives. Like all Japanese hotels the staff are friendly and it was clean.

The walls are thin and I can hear machinery running all night long, voices are easily heards. A lot of foreigners staying here who are super noisy unlike Japanese who are quiet except when they are drunk. Staff these days are slow service and don't communicate clearly.

Great location. In the heart of Hakata.

The hotel size was decent. Breakfast was included which was nice although too many choices of sweet bread instead of savoury. Thought the hot bath would be a bit bigger according to picture but its a size for max 3 ppl for it to not be too crowded. The water didn't seem super clean the first 2 days but the other 2 was fine. Behind the TV in the room was very dusty. Same for the top of the curtains... Else it was quite clean
