Minami Ward hotel guide. Ishin hotel in Minami Ward, Fukuoka

"Stayed here twice with a cycling group. The staff were very helpful and friendly, assisting us with the storage of our bike boxes in-between stays. Facilities are basic but represent great value for money. Good location and parking available onsite."

"Very clean and good location. Will stay again next time. "

"I like good design so I just had to stay at Il Palazzo at the end of my two week trip to Kyushu. It’s stunning. The attention to detail throughout was remarkable. My room was spacious and comfortable, with pretty much everything I might need. The staff were attentive and polite. Just one complaint - buffet lunch and dinner, which was included in the rate. It was essentially the same food, and none of it was Japanese. The desserts were pretty good, but otherwise it was a fairly limited, snacky international buffet. It could be so much better. My advice would be to have lunch at the hotel when you check in, but go out for dinner. No surprise it was busy at lunchtime and quiet in the evening. Breakfast was a different story, with a good selection of what you might expect."

"Decent"
