Beautiful hotel, nicely located with terrific service. We had some problems with our air-conditioning and we were upgraded to another room. The staff were super helpful. The breakfast was also a great experience (Western and Japanese available). There are many nearby restaurants. We were cycling and left our bikes in the indoor parking garage. Terrific hotel.

I stayed here twice now, and it is a hotel with 20th century charm and pedigree. You get a wonderful view of the Kumamoto Castle, which is under restoration. Rooms are well appointed. Staff is top notch. I usually don't call out names, but if you search around, C.R. has been praised for his really good English, and I think he helps westerners feel comfortable coming to the place. I go visit the castle from another part of Japan where I live. I look forward to staying at this hotel when I do.

It is an older property but well maintained. Have stayed there a few times for business. Excellent location.

Great staff, very comfortable room. Perhaps best bed & pillow combo since we have been in Japan (2 months). Location excellent. Dining options excellent as well.

The location is great. Easy to get to almost everything you need in the town. Service is great. They have staff who speaks Chinese and English. The room is very small though

Really liked the hotel and would stay there again. My only criticism is that there are very very few electrical outlets in the room (2) and none of them near the bed so using my portable devices while they were charging was not an option. I would bring a power outlet next time.

The sign above the door says it all. This hotel prides itself on service to those that stay here, and apparently has done so since 1960. And some of the guests have been pretty prominent, such as the Showa Emperor and the current Crown Prince (who stayed twice!) ---as can be seen from photos in the lobby. I also like hotels with that mid-20th century hotel charm. I can remember back to the decade this hotel was established, and so there is a familiarity. Plus, in Japan, you know, companies and teams that have a long pedigree are respected. Japanese royalty have stayed here, and you too, will be made to feel like someone special. The accommodations are well maintained, and there are several modern amenities in the room. I first came to Kumamoto in 2015, to see the castle. (This turned out to be four months before the awful earthquake.) So I got a room to see the castle under reconstruction. I wanted to visit the site again, as I have before, but conveniently, and with a view. This is the hotel for that, since its founding matched the last time serious work had to be put into castle restoration. So I made an internet reservation. When I checked in, I was helped by several folks in the lobby, including a Japanese with what I feel is fluent English. I arrived in Kumamoto early, and the hotel kept my luggage until check-in time, which allowed me to go across the street and across the castle moat/river. The room is very nice.

Kumamoto Castle Hotel is an upscale hotel across from the Kumamoto Castle. The hotel staff provided great service and hospitality. Our western style hotel room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The breakfast provided is a set menu of either Japanese or Western style breakfast. The breakfast was delicious but portions are a bit small for individuals with a large appetites. There are many great restaurants and shops in close proximity to the hotel. The trolley system provides ecomonical and convenient transportation between the hotel and Kumamoto train station for 170 yen per person, one-way. Trolley stops are a close walk from the hotel. If you are looking for an upscale hotel, check out Kumamoto Castle Hotel.
