The only good thing is that the hotel is near to the center of the city between 10-15min walking. The onsen is quite small and most of the time is crowded, is better to do your own private onsen bath at the room. They only have 2 laundry machine for many guests they have on the hotel. Also we were surprise that an hotel located near to the city couldn’t provide the “Takkyūbin”service or refuse help us send our luggages from their hotel to another.

The location of this hotel was great. The free amenities in the lobby were a nice touch and the breakfast had a good selection of dishes. The bed was comfortable and we got a good night's sleep. We would give it a much higher score if it wasn't for the bathroom! When you walk into the room, the bad smell from the old pipes is so strong, it's impossible to ignore. We closed the toilet lid, plugged the sink and bathtub drains, and closed the toilet door which helped keep the room smelling fresh... but as soon as you had to go into the bathroom and use it, you were overwhelmed with the horrible smell again. Maybe it's because this is an old building (?), but whatever the reason -- a plumbing update is desperately needed.

Good service. Everywhere was clean and neat. The bath was small but you can still relax in it after a day’s walk. The triple room was not very big but it’s reasonable. The only nightmare was the laundry. There were only 2 washer and dryers in the whole building. If the previous guest chooses to wash & dry, it would take 2 hours. The guest in front can also extend the drying for 30 mins if he’s selfish enough to ignore the other guests in the queue. I had to give up and got up early next morning, just to rush to the coin laundry. I hope this gives everyone a heads up if you’d need the coin laundry there.

I was in the female public bath and was freaked out when a local mother brought her son—whom she claimed was six years old—into the bath. I later learned from a Japanese friend that while local laws allow children under seven into public baths of the opposite gender, most facilities specify these age restrictions beforehand on signs. However, I couldn't find any such notices in the hotel at all. When I asked the staff, they told me that the hotel does not have any restrictions. As a hotel that receives foreign tourists, I think they could do better by providing clearer information to their guests. After all, not all foreigners understand the local culture. Furthermore, if I were bringing a young girl with me, I definitely would not take her to the public bath knowing this practice exists. Edit: We definitely have not received any information about boys under elementary school age being permitted to female public bath. Maybe your staff are trained to convey this to family guests only?

We stayed at this hotel six months ago. This time, we decided to book exactly the same room as before, but it felt smaller. Breakfast was included in the booking. It was fairly standard by Japanese standards, but perfectly fine.You can pick up all the necessary toiletries near reception.Thank you to the hotel staff for their help.I think I’ll stay at this hotel again, but I’ll book a larger room.In our room, we could store our suitcases under the bed, which was very convenient.

Booked 2 room for 3 pax for around USD123 per night during the golden week. The room was pretty big with sufficient luggage opening space. Multiple hangers and hangers holders. There is only 1 onsen pool with maybe 9 washing point. Good enough if you want a quick dip. No sauna though There is free drinks available at level 1. Location was quite near tenjin street. About 15min ride to airport via taxi. Took a taxi for 3 pax with 3 luggage for about 2000 yen by meter fare. There is about 6 parking lots at the hotel. Not sure about the charges. Overall good stay at torifito.

This hotel was the start and end of our Fukuoka trip with a road trip out and other Ryokan stays in between. Im glad I found this hotel as room vibe and feel is very important to me. The mattress and pillows were good and comfortable. Breakfast was a great start to my first breakfast in FUK. I loved it so much. The only thing is the room size. My tip is to slide your largest luggage to the gap next to window, prop up on the luggage stand for more space. Overall 100% recommend.
