この度はスマイルホテル博多駅前さんには大変お世話になりました ありがとうこざいました 福岡には久々の帰省で泊まるHOTELを探しておりましたそこで目に止まったのがスマイルホテルさんでした。 あのスマイル君のロゴが可愛くてこれから福岡を満喫する気持ちとロゴのニコニコがシンクロしてここだぁ！！と決めました。 勿論ですが評価もめっちゃ良いし 博多駅からも近くでそして何より近隣に名店のラーメンが沢山あり最高でした尚且つコンビニも近いしエニタイムのジムも近いし中洲からも余裕で歩いてホテルに向かえるしレンタルのバイクも自転車も有るし言う事なきです スタッフの対応もすごく丁寧です 特に清掃スタッフさんの気配りが素晴らしかったです 初日にホテルに到着してベットのサーチライトがチカチカして気になっていましたがまぁ後で言えば良いと思ってそのままにして出かけてホテルに戻ったら清掃の時にライトを取り替えくれた感じで助かりました 清掃スタッフありがとうこざいました 今回は15泊でお世話になりました✨ また福岡に行った時はスマイルホテルさんに決めてます 本当に最初から最後までニコニコスマイルで過ごす事が出来ました ありがとうこざいました 是非ともオススメのHOTEL！！皆さんも福岡に来たら泊まって損はないスマイルでした

博多駅からノンビリ歩いても10分はかからない好立地。室内は清潔感があって、歯ブラシなんかも準備されていて必要に応じてピックアップして部屋に入るシステムです。朝ごはんはビュッフェスタイルで品数もあって美味しくいただきました。カレーは外せないな、と思いました。高級ホテル。。。とは比べようもありませんが、立地と宿泊費、満足できるホテルでした。

整體感覺良好，如果下次再黎福岡會考慮再入住

酒店離博多車站不算太遠，酒店樓下就有自動販賣機 每層門口都有提供日用品自取，唯獨房間沒有提供瓶裝飲用水，只可飲用水喉水，不過日本人都習慣的，沒大問題 房間雖小，不過日本大多酒店都係咁，我一個人住空間好ok，我一個30吋，一個20吋開哂喼係無問題，但多一個大行李的話可能要推入床下 如果需要用雪櫃記得要開掣，個掣係雪櫃上面，床好舒適，冷氣足，水力都夠，床頭燈可以調光暗幾好 最大嘅缺點係個風筒，我抖大氣都勁過佢，夠熱但唔夠力，長頭髮吹到懷疑人生，仲有記得帶轉插，房間無USB/type C頭，只有兩腳扁插 不知道好彩還是房間隔音真的好，睡了兩晚沒聽到任何聲音，只有早上清潔打掃時有聽到關門的聲音 附近有多間便利店，亦有餐廳可惜今次無時間試，第二日出門下雨，酒店門口就有免費雨傘借用，用後記得歸還
