KOKO HOTEL Premier Kumamoto

Hotel was in an excellent location in Sakuramachi above the shopping mall & bus terminal - also 5min walk from Kumamoto Castle. Parking facilities nearby was excellent & the hotel offered a fixed daily overnight rate of ¥1,200 with these parking facilities. Great service at the hotel, we had a twin room which was very spacious. Very interesting concept of going up to 14F for the reception from the 2F of the shopping mall then changing lifts to go down to the 10F for our room. And when we had to go down, we had to change lifts again on the 14F. The hotel seemed to have a fabulous restaurant on the 14F with fabulous views of the city but we didn’t eat there this time. We loved the convenience & location of the hotel as we used it as our base for some travels around Kyushu.

Fantastic views from our 13th floor room. Can't believe the 3 acre park below with ponds, streams, art installations, children's attractions, etc is on the 7th story floor. Visit it Superb bakery, Maison Kaiser, on 1st floor. It can be hard to find the hotel entrance. Don't give up. It's an interconnected array of top quality stores, restaurants, and bus operations. Don't worry, it!s all very posh and you wouldn't know about the busses unless you wanted to go somewhere. Like locally to Suizenji Park or Kagoshima (beautiful ride - best by bus). Covered arcade and alleyways a few blocks away are amazing! What a surprise!

Excellent location, nice modern decor and very clean. Its located inside the shopping centre. Can see the Kumamoto castle from our room. Hotel Parking was at a carpark opposite (different building) to the hotel with a discounted rate JPY1200, must remember the hotel entry is from level 2. It was nice short stroll to all the food and shopping. Will definitely stay again!

Good location . Good room size for a couple short stay

The hotel is modern style with spacious rooms and spotless clean. We stayed at 12/F and was able to see the Kumamoto Castle over the windows. Drip coffees are available and the wifi is good. The bed was extremely comfortable that I had very good sleep there. The hotel is actually located at the upper part of a big shopping mall and connected with a big multi stories carpark (Sakuramachi) which had direct access link (on the 2nd/F) to the hotel. It made me feel quite convenient and satisfied when I reached the hotel on a rainy and cold day by car. The hotel offered a discounted rate for parking (1800 yen a day instead of 2000 yen) and provided a parking pass for unlimited in and out of the carpark during my stay. It is also very close to Kumamoto Castle (just around 10 mins walk).
