Fukuoka Budget Hotel | Cross Life Hakata Tenjin

Recommended Hotel in Fukuoka!

📍Cross Life Hakata Tenjin

Highlights 💯:

1️⃣ Convenient Facilities
Established in 2021, this hotel features a spacious sofa in the room that I absolutely loved 🫶. It’s perfect for enjoying snacks with friends in the evening or doing makeup in the morning.

Unlike most Japanese hotels where bathrooms are small and cramped with a bathtub, this hotel opts for a shower instead, allowing for a dry and wet separation. Additionally, there’s a free public bath available, which is great for relaxing and recovering from fatigue (complimentary robes provided). Since it’s a relatively new hotel, you can enjoy modern facilities.

2️⃣ Excellent Surrounding Infrastructure
A 10-minute walk takes you to Canal City Hakata and Yanagibashi Rengo Market. The Tenjin Underground Shopping Mall is also nearby. Plus, there’s a supermarket right across the hotel where you can buy fresh fruits at prices cheaper than convenience stores.

3️⃣ Amenities
The hotel lobby on the first floor has an amenity station where you can freely pick up what you need.

Downsides 🚫:
1) Location
The hotel is a bit far from the subway station (7-10 minutes walk), but this makes it quieter.
2) Convenience Store Distance
You’ll need to walk a bit to reach the nearest convenience store.

♦️Pro Tip: Bring a Tumbler
The room does not provide complimentary bottled water. You’ll need to use the teapot in the room to fetch water from the purifier on the second floor. However, since the teapot might not feel very clean, it’s better to bring your own tumbler.

Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My friend loved it too, and we’re planning to stay here again next time.
