Highness Hotel Kurume

About this stay

The evidence is unambiguous here: Highness Hotel Kurume sits right next to the east exit of Nishitetsu-Kurume Train Station, about as close to a rail platform as a hotel gets in this city. Rooms are simply furnished but cover the basics well, air-conditioned with a private bath, LCD TV, fridge, and electric kettle, plus slippers and toiletries laid out rather than left to guests to request. A light complimentary breakfast of coffee or a soft drink with bread is served on site, enough for an early departure rather than a long sit-down meal. The 24-hour front desk handles luggage storage and laundry service, useful for anyone stringing together several Kyushu cities by rail. Suitengu Shrine is a 3.5-kilometer trip from the hotel and Kora Taisha Shrine a 20-minute drive, both outings rather than walks, while parking sits off-site for a fee for anyone who does arrive by car.
