Tenza Hotel at Hakata Station

Breakfast was good with good variety and quality. Bedding was comfortable and adequate toiletries were provided. Luggage can be stored before check in and we left it with the hotel for 5 days before returning from southern Kyushu. (But may not be possible for more than 5 days. Pls check). Exit through East Gate and turn right at Clio Court Hotel ( this hotel is literally next to the East Gate of Hakata station). Walk straight down 1½ blocks and it's opposite Yodabashi Big Camera.

Great location and service by the housekeeping staff and front desk. The hotel provides free use of the washing machines and dryers which are easy to use. Great amenities, including skin care creams which are available at the lobby. Rooms are bigger than your typical Japan hotel and you can open 2 suitcases. Soundproofing was good, so was not bothered by noise from adjacent rooms. The bathroom is humongous by Japan standards. Floor to ceiling windows bring in lots of natural light.

It's location is within 5 min walk from Hakata station. Our Superior twin room was really spacious and can open 2 large luggage comfortably. The bedding is comfortable and the toilet and bathroom seem to be renovated. So it's really clean. I like the breakfast because of its variety and quality. It starts from 7am till 10am. On the last day, as we needed to catch an early flight(you can take the airport bus to International Terminal from the nearby Hakata bus terminal from 6.50am) , they allowed us to pack a takeaway from the buffet table at 7am. And there is Costa coffee at the lobby at a small fee of 100yen. There are plenty of food options in the area.

Just 5 mins walk from the JR Hakata station Chikushi exit with a convenience store located just beside the hotel. Reception staff were professional and friendly. The rooms were clean and warm. What was unique was the eco-clean scheme where rooms were only cleaned once every 3 days. If towels needed to be changed, you could hang it outside your door before 10am each day. Amenity kits like bedroom slippers, toothbrushes could be collected from the hotel lobby if needed. The laundry rooms were located on the 6th and 10th floor and both washer and dryer machines were free to use. You only needed to purchase detergent from the lobby reception. The staff also helped to call a cab to the airport which was about 1300 yen.

This was my third perfect stay here at Tenza in the past 6 months! Great beds and pillows, clean super quiet rooms on the side away from the main street. Perfect location next to Hakata Station with so many food and shopping choices. 7-11 is next door plus two hotel floors with coin laundry. This will always be my first choice of hotels in Fukuoka. Fabulous breakfast!! Wonderful staff make this a great value!
