Family travel, 2 adults + 1 kid, I booked a small double bed room, feel smaller than those typical small hotels in Japan, just marginally enough to open my luggage, price fair, need to walk 10 min to Hakata station, not quite convenient if you are traveling with plenty belongings.

Excellent location”

Smile Hotel Hakata Ekimae is only several minutes walk from Hakata Station. You can find buses, subways and trains that can get you anywhere in Fukuoka and Kyushu. It's the best for those looking for a simple accommodation with an exceptional location. The staff members are very friendly. If you arrive early, you can store your luggage there first. The room size is standard, which means that some people might find it a bit too cozy. You probably cannot fully open your luggage without placing it on your bed. But this is not a big issue I reckon. It also has laundry facilities available. You can actually monitor the laundering machine from your room, so you don't need to stay next to it for the whole process.

Newly opened hotel near JR Hakata!”

The hotel was fairly new when I visited last April 2017. It wasn't showing yet on Google street maps! It's a 10-minute walk from JR Hakata Station, but easy to find. Rooms are not too small and has everything a solo traveller needs. I didn't get the breakfast option since there is a convenience store across the street! I just buy their affordable onigiri or instant noodles and eat them at the room. Wifi is also available and fast. Facilities and rooms are new so I am very much happy with it. Staff are accommodating but they don't really speak English.
