Reviews of The Gate Hotel Fukuoka by Hulic 4 stars

Location

The bed sheet can be more comfortable

Perfect location

Breakfast choice is limited

Location was fantastic. The hotel is located in the heart of shopping and entertainment district so you can reach everywhere on foot basically. The subway and bus station are only steps away. The hotel is new, clean and spacious. The breakfast area is located on the 19th floor with a fantastic view. Menu had few set selections ( Japanese and western ) plus buffet of salads and bread and pastries. This same place turns into restaurant/bar at night. Their wagyu steak is highly recommended. We had a wonderful stay for 2 nights and looking forward to coming back again in the near future.

There is no parking or area where I can bring my car to load and unload luggage at this hotel. If you are reaching the hotel by taxi with luggage, you are on your own till you get to the reception which is on the 19th floor. I parked my car at public parking near by and pushed my luggage back and forth. I ended up paying roughly 100UDS ( for the parking ) for the whole duration of my stay. I stayed in the hotel for 2 nights and left my car at the parking for 2 nights.

Comfortable room size and great location. Building elevator directly link with subway

Hair dryer is poor quality

Great hotel. Would like to be back.

It would have been even better if the hotel offer self-help laundry as an option.

We really like the location. Conveniently located just above the Tenjin Station, the lobby has a spectacular view of the sea and the city. Room was clean, staff friendly.

We wish the free lounge could open for longer. It closes at 10pm. It would be fantastic if it was open 24 hours. But this is not what I don't like. Just a recommendation.

Everything is very good from the location to the staff.

Breakfast choice is limited

I requested rooms nearby despite booking 2 rooms of different style. The hotel is very kind to help arrange. I can see from details they do it with heart and treat guests with respect. They offer help effectively. Totally enjoy the lounge at 18th floor too! The snack and drinks are nice.

If an on-site onsen is available, this hotel will be more than perfect!

Location, cleaniness

Staff could appear a bit cold , could be due to language issue

Brand new and modern

Nothing

The location and breakfast were very good.

There is no drop off at the hotel location. It was raining on the day when I depart, I was told by the staff that I will be in the rain when I board the taxi to the airport, not a nice departure experience. Secondly the hotel is generally clean but spotted a big cockroach outside the vending machine and I informed and show them the photos, they were just surprised and didn't follow up with me on any course of action.

The location is good and can directly access to the MTR and the department stores and shopping malls via the basement level. Many restaurants are located nearby. The game centres are located within 10 min walking distance.

My room can see a construction site in the vicinity of the hotel. We heard construction noise since 8am on weekdays. The bed is not comfortable, the pillow is too soft.

I really enjoyed the hotel in it's entirety. Overall, I think it was one of the better hotels I have stayed in while in Japan. The breakfast buffet was a little lacking but everything was delicious. The room I was initially given did have a great view. Both rooms I stayed in were pristine and comfortable. When I asked to change rooms, they accommodated me.

The only issue I had is that I wasn't made aware of the construction going on outside of the initial room that I booked. Right below the room with the view is ongoing construction that starts around 5am and goes into the night. The first night I slept for only a few hours and was miserable in the morning, but they did change my room for me. This construction is probably in it's infant stages as of writing this, so keep that in mind when booking.
