Great view of the Kumamoto Castle across

The hotel lies right across the Kumamoto castle giving a nice view of the castle. Unfortunately due to the reconstruction work, the castle is not as visible as it used to be.

The staffs were helpful but the room seemed a bit old that it requires renovation. The bed size was perfectly fine for one and the other amenities in the room all worked all good.

No housekeeping but free breakfast instead

Ugly building from the outside. Inside a clean well-equipped room. Housekeeping didn't work Mondays but we were offered free breakfast instead. Upon our return from the breakfast (a well furnished buffet with Japanese and western fare) we found a bag with clean sheets, towels, tooth brushes etc.

Better to skip this one

The rooms are spacious for Japanese standards but not very clean. There was mold in the bathroom en the lighting in the room is inadequate. There was a light at the bed and at the entrance so in the evenings I could hardly see in this room. This neighbourhood is filled with hotels so I suggest you look further..

Rather old Hotel but for the price (incl. breakfast) not too bad

We stayed at the Ark Hotel Kumamotojo Mae for one nights and it was a really good price-value. The hotel is rather old and you can see that on the rooms – they are not really dirty but old and e.g. one of the chairs should have been replaced quite a while ago. However, we did not expect anything newer in the first place and for the price and one night it was alright. Especially as the price includes breakfast for two (a buffet with a medium range of choice for Japanese and Western breakfast – also suitable for vegetarians). In addition the view is really nice – just "opposite" of the Kumamoto Castle. The upstairs restaurant is also nice for a dinner and with side dishes you can also get there a decent vegetarian dinner.

Service 8/10
Location 8/10
Cleanliness 7/10
Room/Facilities 6/10
Price-Value 10/10 (¥ 6.300 incl. breakfast)
