Nishitetsu Hotel Croom Hakata Natural Hot Spring Hakata Ekimae no Yu

This was my second stay after a few years. The Room itself is not brand new or sparkling, but it is well-maintained and clean. The layout of the Room is thoughtfully designed. Despite being compact, the Room includes a three-sided mirror, a workspace, and even a small table, making it very comfortable. I counted eight power outlets in the Room! The large public bath was spacious and clean, with high-end hair dryers provided in the changing area. There’s even an elevator prioritized for guests moving to the public bath in their loungewear—such thoughtful consideration! Since there’s such a comfortable public bath available, the Rooms come with independent shower booths instead of full bathrooms. I personally prefer this setup and found it very convenient. Of course, all front desk staff were kind and attentive; they immediately assisted anyone who seemed to need help. I stayed here for an event-related trip ("oshi-katsu"), and I was impressed by how hospitable the staff were—the lobby had detailed guidance on accessing live venues and bus stops! I would love to stay here again when visiting Fukuoka!

I stayed for a Multiple Night Stay. The location was very close to Hakata Station, and I arrived without any trouble. Both check-in and check-out were self-service. Although the process seemed simple, I struggled as I'm not good with machines. However, when I called the front desk staff for help, they kindly assisted me without any hesitation—thank you so much! The bath was consistently crowded from around 7 PM to past 10 PM, making it difficult to go. Since I had plans the next morning, I reluctantly went during that time but found it extremely busy; there were no available showers. After rinsing off with water from a bucket, I only soaked in the tub and returned to my Room to finish washing my body and hair in the shower there. It was a bit disappointing, so on the next day, I went straight to the bath at 3 PM and fully enjoyed it—one of the perks of staying for Multiple Nights!
