Hotel Cultia Dazaifu

福岡市内のホテルが満室でチェーンのビジネスホテルでも30000円くらいまで高騰していたため、思い切ってこちらに滞在。夜はレストランがフレンチとなり食事が思いの外良かった。部屋は301の一番広い部屋に二連泊で15万円程度であった。プライベート感があり良かった。

TVが部屋にないのが退屈でした。

The location of the hotel is excellent, next to the Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. The hotel is tastefully decorated. The buildings in which the hotel is located are traditional and have been restored respecting the traditional Japanese architecture and decoration, but with all the modern comforts. The staff is very friendly and professional and the service is attentive and personalised. We dined in the hotel restaurant and the food was exquisite. The room was very spacious and comfortable. The surroundings of the hotel are quiet and beautiful. An unforgettable stay!

A lovely stay in a restored house within a thoughtful blend of old and new. Delicious meals in the hotel’s French-Japanese restaurant. Situated right by the side entrance to Daizaifu temple, this restored 120 year old house is full of character and history. We were received in a manner befitting a lord, and after the usual formalities, we were walked over the another building where our rooms were. This was located along a busy street, but once in the room we could not hear the traffic noise. We had a house to ourselves and it was simply beautiful. It was a blend of old and new. The back portion where the bedrooms and the tatami sitting area was obviously old. This was characterized by lower door frames and had classical proportions to it. The sitting room has tea making facilities. The fridge contents are chargeable. It even a chargeable snack box in case you were hungry! A closet here also was where you could hang your jackets and clothes. The bedroom has two large single beds that were stuck to the ground. One could not make them into a double bed. There’s a writing table here and two air cons to heat up the room quickly. The beds were firm and yet comfy. Overall the room was cozy and we slept well despite not having any curtains to block out the morning light. The bedroom was also next to an open air car park. But this was quiet at night, so no issues. The master piece goes to the bath room. It is large with double sinks and a whole stack of amenities. We were very impressed. Air-conditioning here keeps the room toasty while we got ready. It actually faces the passageway and into the small Japanese courtyard. There are windows from the bath room that look out. There is no shortage of light in the bathroom. The shower and bath tub is Japanese style. The cedar wood bath tub was lovely and gave the house a memorable wood smell. Shower amenities are provided. The toilet is beside the front door. This was particularly cold in the mornings. The food at the hotels restaurant was exemplary. We enjoyed our dinner here. The French-Japanese style food was delicious. Breakfast was also here and it was a wholesome Japanese breakfast. Overall a great stay here and would recommend it to everyone!
