Hotel Hokke Club Fukuoka

Hotel Hokke Club Fukuoka

8/10 Good
"The triple room was comfortable and spacious, with a bed for each of our party of three. The hotel was well maintained and comfortable. While we didn't use it, the on-site onsen seemed very popular (note, no tattoos). The laundry facilities were easily accessed and worked well. The location was a moderate walk from the train station and near bus stops."
