Located just next to Fukui station, with quite some restaurants around the area. There is free WiFi, breakfast is good. Room is not big but clean.

“Good location and value”

Right across from the station, this hotel is very convenient as a base for exploring Fukui. It is one of the cheapest rooms in the area, but still comfortable and clean.

Right across from the station, this hotel is very convenient as a base for exploring Fukui. It is one of the cheapest rooms in the area, but still comfortable and clean. We stayed here two nights in a twin room, which was of a decent size. Breakfast was nice and filling, just what we needed for the big days we had planned in the area. Fukui itself doesn't have a huge amount of shopping areas to explore, but around the station there are a couple of small shopping malls with places to eat and get souvenirs. I would definitely stay here again on any future visit to Fukui.

Stayed 2 nights. Hotel is about 2-3 minutes walk from Fukui train station. Plenty of shops inside the train station and a very new building incorporating some shops (there is a well stocked 100 yen shop) and government agencies including a public library across from the hotel. The exterior of the hotel looks somewhat dull and shabby but the inside is clean and tidy. Room is compact but surprisingly equipped with a queen or almost queen size bed.which is very rare for business hotels. The free breakfast is basic but fine. Front desk staffs are polite and helpful although only one of them speaks fair English. There was difficulty when trying to ask them to send some of our suitcases to Takayama by Yamato courier service. The hotel has got the courier forms but they were not able to explain the procedure and fees. Fortunately we found the Yamato office when going to Seibu Department Store and solve the courier problem (as a matter of fact the Yamato office staffs cant speak English at all but one of our travel members who speaks some Japanese understood how to fill in the form and pay the courier charges). The restaurant recommended by the front desk staff is so good that we went there twice in a row. will definitely consider coming back to this hotel when visiting Fukui in future

“Excellent deal and location for the money”

We stayed for two days over a 3 day weekend in September for about 7000 yen per night (total for 2 people). The room was larger than expected and VERY conveniently located right next to the station. There is fairly ample parking (600 yen per night), but its first come first serve. On busy weekends … more

We stayed for two days over a 3 day weekend in September for about 7000 yen per night (total for 2 people). The room was larger than expected and VERY conveniently located right next to the station. There is fairly ample parking (600 yen per night), but its first come first serve. On busy weekends with lots of non-train visitors, it's best to park early and save the higher fees in the nearby parking lots. There were only 4 ground TV channels, but this was compensated by 8-9 BS Satellite channels. (For first time visitors to Japan, "BS" is an abbreviation for a satellite system, NOT the typical English phrase.) There was also a very nice complimentary breakfast in the morning that had 4 different kinds of bread, sausages, eggs on one day and "german potatoes" on another, yogurt, natto, an assortment of juices, boiled eggs, and PLENTY of rice! Try the rice. It's locally grown "Koshihikari", probably the most famous kind in Japan and Fukui Koshihikari is reputed to be the best. The only drawback was the mattress, which sagged quite a bit in the middle. However, despite both of us having tricky lower backs, it didn't cause us any problems throughout the weekend. We would definitely stay again and hope to do so next year!
