Candeo Hotels Kumamoto Shinshigai
Room was pretty clean, I was very happy with the size of room. It’s definitely one of the best stays I’ve had in Japan. It’s little bit hidden but close to a shopping street and a few shopping plazas

REF Kumamoto by VESSEL HOTELS
地點非常方便，不論是商店街或是櫻町巴士站都步行可到。 唯早餐漢堡肉和魚加熱造成油煙非常的重，衣服和頭髮都會沾染到油煙味。
