GRIDS Premium Hotel Kumamoto

Hotel just off the A line tram stop, at end of Shimatori shopping street. Nearby Sakura Machi, a 10 mins walk to Kumamoto Castle. Hotel is new and clean, there is laundry facilities and locker facilities to leave your luggage.

This hotel have several convenience stores nearby. And a shopping mall near the car park. I rented a three bed room. At first, the humidity of the room is relatively high, and have an air-con water dropping issue. Being told that this issue is normally in Japan since it is a raining season, but the staff assist to offer another room. The second offer room air-con is in trouble, which is not cool even turned to 16 degree. At last, we were upgraded to the slightly larger room with three beds (the third bed is still a sofa bed). The room is so clean, two beds are in double bed, the tv could used for Netflix and YouTube. I would say the organise of the staff is in a satisfy level. The shower supplies are in Kose, the water pressure is relatively good among four hotels I’ve been stayed in Japan for this trip. But there are only 8 car parking in this hotels, with the first in first serve policy. So, we couldn’t managed to have a car parking although I’ve been told in the comment box by trip.com. However, they have some collaborated car parking suppliers nearby with a discount coupons. It’s not really convenient for you if you just stay for one night. But for me, it’s more than acceptable.

Good overall! But the room is a bit dark! Customer service staff in hotel are friendly and helpful.

A nice and new hotel, will go again

Value for money, new clean and tidy hotel, good location near the shopping street malls, lot of carparks available nearby.

Nice and comfortable hotel, centrally located and walkable distance to near by attraction. Easy to find eateries, although the room is a bit small typical Japan mostly hotel however it is accommodated short trip, near to mall. Kumamoto is a nice city, worth to visit.
