Candeo Hotels Fukuoka Tenjin is a mid-sized hotel on Watanabe-dori in Chuo Ward, three minutes on foot from Tenjin Station. It has 154 rooms across several room types, a restaurant, a sauna and a spa, and guest reviews mention a rooftop hot bath that is a welcome end to a day of walking. The hotel puts you in the shopping and dining heart of Fukuoka, with the Tenjin Underground Mall, the Mitsukoshi department store and a long row of cafes, izakaya and yatai-style food within a few minutes. It suits travellers who want a comfortable, well-located stay with a bath, at a price below the big luxury hotels.
Location and getting around
Tenjin Station is about three minutes away on foot, Watanabe-dori Station is within five minutes and Nishitetsu-Fukuoka Station about six. The Tenjin Underground Mall is also around three minutes away, which means you can reach much of the district under cover in rain or summer heat.
Fukuoka Mitsukoshi is about five minutes on foot and Canal City Hakata about nine. The port of Hakata is a little over two and a half kilometres away. Fukuoka Airport is about 18 minutes by car, and the subway makes the trip even simpler, so check the route when you book.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms have a refrigerator, an electric kettle and daily housekeeping, and the bathrooms have bidet toilets. The hotel has a restaurant, a sauna and a spa, laundry and dry cleaning, free WiFi, air conditioning, a water dispenser, a computer station and a front desk staffed around the clock.
A buffet breakfast is available for an extra charge. Several small restaurants and cafes are about a minute away on foot, so there is no shortage of options for ramen, grilled chicken or a late coffee. Parking is not offered, so plan to arrive by subway, train or taxi.
Who it suits and what to know: couples, solo travellers and shoppers will find it a good fit, as will anyone who prefers Tenjin to the area around Hakata Station. Check-in starts at 3 PM and runs late into the night, with early check-in available for a fee, and check-out is at 11 AM, with late check-out also available for a fee when rooms allow. Pets are not allowed other than service animals.
Because the hotel is compact, the lobby and corridors are quiet, and rooms are on the smaller side, so consider a larger room type if you are travelling with luggage or sharing. In the evening, the streets around Tenjin and the nearby Daimyo area fill with food stalls, bars and late-night ramen shops, so ask for a higher floor if you prefer a quieter night, and compare room-only and breakfast rates when you book.
