Hakata Excel Hotel Tokyu

Fabulous location in the heart of the city. Next to Hakata's famed yatai riverside food carts that pop up at night, very close to multiple transit options, and within a few minutes' walk to countless restaurants, bars, etc, plus not that far from Canal City, old shrines, the business area, etc. While it's alongside Fukuoka's (in)famous Nakasu 'entertainment' district, we never experienced any kind of threatening/seedy vibe that's apparent in other red-light districts, even late in the evening. Rooms are surprisingly comfortably sized for a business-focused Japanese hotel. Hotel offers two different breakfast areas, one a Western-style buffet, other a more traditional Japanese-style with wait staff.

Great location, one minute from Nakasu Kawabata station (metro Kuko line), five minutes to the Hakataza Theater, Riverain Mall; walkable to Tenjin and Canal City Hakata. Breakfast buffet at Itono akari restaurant - variety of food, lots of vegetable dishes, separate rooms for each group with a lovely view of the river. Hot water boiler and tea in room. Nice bed, nice bath.

room is spacial,, view is good but in an angle,, clean and enough amenities,, sound blocking is good,, restaurants are comfortable,, breakfast is wonderful with lots of choices and with local food,, of course they are delicious,, easy accessible especially the back door is very convenient

This is my 3rd time here. I love the location, close to nakasu kawabata station, walking distance to Canal City and Tenjin. Tripple room is spacious especially bathroom. I love breakfast here. Staffs are helpful and friendly.

location was perfect, so many restaurants nearby including yatai stalls
