Umino Hotel Hajime

I liked the design of the hotel and it was very clean, secondly the view of the ocean is nice.

I did not like the elevator so small We could barely fit inside maybe make the elevators bigger.

The room was enormous. The bath was incredible. The location was central to everything. The amenities were great and the staff were very kind.

Two things I didn’t love were the following. Firstly the tap for the shower had very little hot water. The stream was tiny and had almost no pressure. The cold tap was fine but there was not enough hot water pressure to actually shower. You had to use the bucket and wait for it to fill with hot water, which took a few minutes, before you could rinse yourself. The other issue I had was the AC was on a timer. It turns itself off after four hours. And by the time I realized it the front desk was closed. So I had to set an alarm to wake up twice a night to turn it back on otherwise I woke up soaked in sweat, and I wasn’t able to shower well to feel clean after because if the lack of water pressure in the shower. I was really looking forward to sleeping in and resting a lot and it kind of did the opposite. I understand that it’s energy saving for when rooms are empty but it was really frustrating and the settings were passcode protected so I couldn’t turn the timer off without the front desk.

The cleanliness, the staff, and the location were all excellent.

Good value. Excellent location. It is very close to the bus station (to both local attractions and to Fukuoka airport) and shops. Staffs are friendly and price is excellent for seaside view. Clean.
