Hotel Route-Inn Kumamoto Ekimae
It is near the train station and trams stop. Good breakfast spread. Providing toothpaste pack without toothbrush pack will be more ideal. Tv seems to off by itself in the nights.

HOTEL THE GATE KUMAMOTO - Hostel
This is a capsule hostel so the rooms arent very big all the rooms dont actully have roofs and the walls are paper thin so if u have a snorer next door u may not be able to get to sleep they do offer earplugs and free toothbrushes so so that a bonus
