"Loved the location 5 minute walk from the Kokura Station on the quiet North side of the station, use the escalators to get down the street level with luggage. Supermarket in Basement of the station also in Saint City building and a convenience store opposite the hotel. Saizeriya Restaurant just a 5 minute walk in the same street as the hotel with cheap hot meals and wine. Tourist Information was so helpful at the station with maps and suggestions"
"I had an executive room. I found it to be rather spacious for Japanese standards. There was a large jacuzzi in the bathroom, which was also very spacious. The bed was comfortable snd the property was clean. The breakfast was modest. There was a free drop off shuttle from the hotel to the airport in the morning. The ride only takes 7 minutes."
"Beautiful view of Kokura with the mountains in the background, and the lively city in the foreground. Great location for catching the Shinkansen the next morning."
"Clean, simple accommodation close to the train station. The room is larger than other business hotels we have stayed in. The bed and pillow may be uncomfortable for travellers from Europe and North America. Japanese breakfast. Pleasant staff."
"The room was very nice and the location was great. The hotel was very close to the mono rail and the train station as well as the castle. We really enjoyed our stay!"
"We enjoyed our stay at the Empire Grand Hotel. The staff were wonderful and helpful, the entire hotel was immaculate. There isn’t a lot in the immediate area. We took a cab to the train, inexpensive, to get around. I highly recommend this hotel!!!"
