Heiwadai Hotel 5

“Good value for price”

Great location - next to the Tojinmachi subway station, 5 minutes walk to the beautiful and relaxing Ohori park. The nearest shopping mall is one subway station away - at Nishijin.

Great location - next to the Tojinmachi subway station, 5 minutes walk to the beautiful and relaxing Ohori park. The nearest shopping mall is one subway station away - at Nishijin. The hotel is not too large, so you are unlikely to bump into other residents, except for an elevator. The rooms are a bit on the small side, and the walls are really thin and don't screen sounds at all (this is by far the most serious vice of this hotel). However, considering the price, it is a good choice for a traveler on budget. The rooms are equipped with free wired internet, an air conditioner, a fridge, a TV unit and an electric kettle. Other things are pretty standard for Japan: a gown, 3 towels, 2 cups, and a green tea bag changed daily, an ample supply of bathroom expendables, a switchboard near the bed with a tiny flashlight for the case of emergency, and a pair of slippers. The hotel is cleaned daily, but there is some unpleasant smell when you enter the room. However, it vanishes in 5 minutes after you turn the A/C on. Don't forget that in this part of Japan all power outlets are US-type (for A-type flat plug) and the voltage is 110V, so if you are from EU be sure to bring some convertors and double-check that your equipment works at such voltages. The staff is adequately polite and friendly, but there is still room for improvement. They also speak English well enough to understand most of your mundane requests, and even some of the more complicated ones.

1. First of all language problem during check-in - Beware English speaking travelers, take a help of Japanese speaking friend for a help! 2. Rooms are typical Japanese size, but no issues regarding this due to my familiarity with this culture. Surprisingly, to know there was absence of Japanese style toilet (electronic one) only conventional one. 3. Wifi - only available at ground floor and 1st floor. In room LAN connection present. 4. Location - Best place close to Tojinmachi subway station and Fukuoka Children's Hospital. 5. Good and efficient house keeping. 6. Overall average budget hotel!
