“Classy retro hotel with premium views of the castle”
The location gives you a great view of the Castle. The lights around the Castle were also out which made for an even better view in the dark. The hotel clearly was proud of its 70's heritage, and I agree, it was a nice retro vibe. It was also classier than we were dressed for, but staff were only friendly nevertheless.

“Great spot if you're there for the castle!”
The entry and lobby give off a grand, slightly retro feel, and there were plenty of helpful staff to service all guests. The rooms were generously sized, and the castle view room was wonderful. We didn't make use of the dining facilities, so unable to comment.

“Beautiful hotel located directly across from the Kumamoto Castle precinct.”
Great room with views looking over Kumamoto Castle. Very comfortable beds. Exceptionally close to many shopping arcades, department store, cafes, restaurants and the tram stop to take you to Kumamoto Station & other sights of the city. Gorgeous fresh flowers in the expansive, timber foyer. Fresh flowers in the elevator. Whole hotel gave a plush, 5-star vibe from the 1990s/ 2000s. We really liked our stay here & would definitely return again.

“Very refreshing stay”
It is situated close to Kumamoto Castle. Unfortunately, the nearby food Stall Village around the corner closes every Tuesday. We walked a few steps away to the shopping arcade which is a pedestrian street to have our lunch. Staff were polite and very well dressed in smart uniforms. We left our luggage with the reception as we arrived too early for checkin. To our pleasant surprise, our luggages were waiting for us in our room when we returned. I managed to park my car at the hotel for a small fee. The room was spotless.

Close to places of attraction. The hotel has an old Japanese English style which is very romantic. And the photos are very accurate. The room I got was exactly what was shown. I love the separate dressing room and the large space within the room itself.
