Place Hotel Ascot
What Guests Say
Super close to the Shimotori Shopping Arcade so it's easy to walk to and from (5 mins). Can use the city tram from Kumamoto Train Station and stopping at Torichosuji or Shidocho (5 minutes from either). Staff were friendly and English instructions were available. Double bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was reasonably large too and had a bathtub. Lighting in the room had adjustable dimmers so very comfortable for the eyes in the early morning. Breakfast had Kumamoto's special fried rice and lots of different types of foods, very extensive and all delicious. Guests get a complimentary drink during happy hour.

I have chosen this hotel for one-night stay during my Kyushu trip. This is located close to streets with many restaurants and shops. The best thing about that hotel is the breakfast. There one various options and everything was fresh and tasty. Our room was with a big windows and modern bathroom which I really loved. I need to say that cleaning personal is doing all the best and wanna say thank you to them but hotel's managment should consider changing kinda used-looking bedlinen which seemed to be, not very hygienic or new. I really liked that they provided bottles of water with kumamon! I also do like the idea of providing pyjamas.. I just wanna say that you find a good price for staying here I would reccommend it, but if you pay double as we did I would've chosen other place.

The hotel was fantastic in so many ways. The price was affordable for the range of services provided including a comprehensive breakfast and various smaller amenities including pajamas, toiletries, soaking salts, etc. Service was great and my room was clean and comfortable. It was also quiet despite being next to a busy commercial arcade. I highly recommend this hotel and plan to stay again in the future.

located in a center of shopping and food stores. The hotel is very clean, confortable and there are veriety of ameneties like free unlimited breakfast, smoking room and more. The bathroom is very clean, the room is too, it is confortable to sleep and the lighting is good. nothing is broken, there is a fridge and kettle in the room. I cannot find bad things about this hotel, it looks just like in the photos. Considering the price and location, I put 10/10.

A nice quiet room with everything you could want, just two blocks off the main outdoor mall. During booking, I was actually unhappy that the price included breakfast since I'm vegan and I assumed there'd be nothing for me to eat. I couldn't have been more wrong! The buffet offered a wonderful Asian-style salad and good coffee. Solid Internet, easy check-in, and an all-around flawless experience.

First hotel I stayed in the past week that management had everything explained in English and staff also spoke English. Made it very easy to use facility and understand food at buffet etc. I was impressed. Hotel is like new and modern. Really liked that they also accommodated a softer pillow than the usual high hard pillows. Breakfast was also great with many more foods than a usual breakfast buffet

Excellent service, rooms and bathrooms were pretty roomy for japan standards (i was able to comfortably exist and go through luggage w 2 of us). Tons of complimentary amenities, free drink for happy hour each day, and a surprisingly good breakfast buffet! 👌 Also super convenient area, unlimited options around and walking distance to the caste.

The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. I found that the free welcome coffee was a nice touch. The breakfast buffet was nice, including hot and cold food, and I enjoyed sampling some local specialities like Karashi Renkon. The location is very convenient (in a large shopping mall, across the street from a convenience store, and close to a major bus and tram station; only a few minutes on foot to Kumamoto castle).

Location: Centrally in Kumamoto's downtown area of Nishi Ginza Street, about 2.6 km away or approximately half an hour of walking distance from Kumamoto Station - Complimentary breakfast buffet: A good selection of Japanese and Western-style dishes. Cleanliness and service: The room was clean and I was assigned a room on the highest floor upon request.

Great location, very central spot with nearby access to the tram, shopping, restaurants within easy walking distance. Room was very small but enough space for our luggage, to shower and to sleep so no major complaints. Air con worked nicely. Breakfast selection was fairly basic but nonetheless enjoyable. Laundry room was convenient as we needed to wash and dry our clothes.
