If you’re looking for a clean, safe and well maintained accommodation. This is it. The area around it doesn’t have much to offer during the evening. It’s in an expensive shopping area and a stores in close up early. It is close to the train station. I didn’t really enjoy it because it seems mostly functional as opposed to warm and welcoming, but it certainly was convenient.

A super convenient location near the station, shops, and restaurants. The room was clean, stylish, and spacious. When I travel to Karatsu again, Karae will be my number one hotel choice for sure.

Convenient and clean

Convenient location - a few blocks from the JR station, a few blocks from the bus station and a lot of restaurants around the area. It seems very new, it's very clean. Good wifi.

県外に住んでいますが唐津出身なので場所だけは知ってました。今回、立地が便利で同窓会に出席のため初めて宿泊をさせていただきました。 シングルルームに泊まりたかったのですが、空室がなくドミトリールームしかありませんでした。「仕方ない。どうせ遅くなるから寝るだけで充分」と、宿泊を決めました。 が、結果とてもよかったです！ こちらの事情にも柔軟に対応いただけ、スタッフさんの対応がとても丁寧でした。 空気清浄機や、空調もよく、静かな環境でオシャレ。 特に、寝具はとても気持ちよくて、快眠で朝もスッキリ起きれました。 またこちらにお世話になろうと思いました。
