The Basics Fukuoka

Excellent location, 10mins walk to fukuoka station, and yet away from noisy area. Matress quality excellent. Choose basics 4 room, big room, big bathtub. Service i give 3star because i am 1hour early arrived at hotel 2pm, the room is ready but the reception request for additional money to check in, is typhoon day and we couldnt go anywhere.inconsiderate service.

We stayed in Chapter 4 this time, the room is so large and comfortable, staff are nice and helpful.

Pros: Stunning lobby, nice decoration! Room very clean. breakfast is ok, got what u’ve paid! Cons: front desk staff (most young female) are very arrogant and hostile to female guest (?) I see a big smile serving a guy on the other counter. No hospitality at all! speak only very limited English, not prepared for foreign guest. No concierge, not helpful even disabled aged guest! Room very stylish and clean but …. No bedside table, ONE chair in a twin bed room, have to share the chair in a 2-guest room?!!!? No usb (may borrow from front desk) only ac adapter, OMG! the config like 20 yrs and no upgrade! One more, need to pay yen300 if u ask front desk calling taxi.

As EXPECTED, Breakfast ok, awesome lobby, very stylish and clean! But more on unexpected Front office staff - limited English. Apple TV suddenly down, just restart our room wifi can fix, but the staff insist using his iPhone 10 trying for more than 30 mins and said use ‘cast’ is ok. OMG! I don’t want to see YT, and I have 3 iPhones (model 15, 13, 12) and 2 iPads, NONE can reconnect. What I can say is…. the best of the Bascis have already shown on the website (room size, amenities brand, lobby), hardware is “got you have paid”. Software is off. Heard the Basics is Ex-Grand Hyatt, meaning the architecture did not change and that’s the only part I appreciate. What did the current hotel management do to improve? Im afraid I can’t see any! PS. Experienced another hotel in this trip, totally different thing.

New building seems renovated. Very clean and convenient near fukuoka hakata station. Staff were nice.

The hotel is clean and comfortable. The location is excellent. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and can speak fluent English. We did not come across any communication issues. Excellent experience overall!
