Worst hotel ive been to. Needed a place near the airport for a night and decided in Vessel. The bed sheets were dark yellow as if it were never washed. Felt itchy just looking at it. Their double bed is a small bed which they claim fits for 2 but does not. The bathroom has standing room for a 10 year old child and nothing larger. Staff does not know english as well

Really clean and spacious hotel

This was a great hotel. The room was clean and spacious compared to other hotel rooms in Japan. They even provided coffee in the room, which was very nice and sometimes unusual for Japanese hotels. It was very clean and comfortable. I believe they had free coffee and tea in the lobby, but I didn't have any. One thing that could have been better was the chair in the room. There was no back to the chair, so it was rather uncomfortable to do work at the desk. Otherwise, everything was great.

Vessel Inn is convenient to the metro, moderately priced, quiet, and clean. It is on the quieter side of Nakasu. The staff was friendly and the breakfast quite good. Typical very small room. Hot water and water pressure and air conditioning superb.

Nice perks

The room was on the smaller side but what it lacks in size, it makes up in service. They provide bottomless drinks from 14:00~23:00 everyday and that's not all. Eat all you want breads (the croissant was delicious) from 14:00~21:00 and eat all you want chazuke (rice with toppings soaked in tea) from 21:00~23:00 meaning you don't have to eat out (albeit eating the same thing) if you don't want too. Nice.

only on a tight budget

room is extremely small. and the worst thing (for me) about the room is the air-conditioning. Even though I turned to the lowest temperature possible (17C) the room was still very hot and it's snowing winter! had to open the window to let cool air in in order to lower room temperature. I cannot imagine what it's like to stay in summer.

Great Weekend Getaway

The hotel was nice. Hotels.com was kind enough to change my room from a single bed to 2 beds at the last minute. Customer service was great even though the staff knew some english but it was great for me because I got to learn to practice my Japanese. The hotel is located near shopping centers and Tenjin train station, so there was always somewhere to go. I would recommend this hotel to anyone that travels. Great rates, awesome customer service and good times with friends.

Cheap for a reason

Looking for a quick overnight stay, then this hotel should suffice. I was in Fukuoka for two night three days and would not stay here again. Typical small Japanese hotel rooms as expected. However very disappointing that they did not have WiFi in the hotel! Must say the location is good. Close to a lot of restaurants and bars and not far from airport.

Tiny in Fukuoka

The hotel staff was very helpful, the hotel was clean and very conveniently located near restaurants and a subway station. The rooms themselves are very, very small. I have stayed at many hotels in Japan, and my room at this hotel was perhaps the smallest I have experienced. The room was very neat, nicely attended and in very good shape, but very, very small. There is also virtually no English in the hotel. None of the room instructions are in English, no television stations are in English and the instructions for the electronically operated toilet had no English. The hotel is located at the edge of the "ladies district". When I got up to jog at 5:00 am, the ladies were still active. This did not bother me, however it may be something you want to consider if you are bringing children.
