Futaoi, Shimonoseki hotel rooms at the Independent

"Very clean, friendly, efficient hotel right in the middle Of a large busy train station in the middle of a big city. Could not get any better!"

"The hotel facilities and room, as well as the staff were excellent, however i am not a fan of the new trend amongst budget hotels using self check-in electronic kiosks . There are always one or two staff assisting guests using these machines, so why arent those staff just behind the front desk greeting guest in the "old fashioned way"?"

"very good clean rooms and excellent service from the night shift staff."

"Hotel with a European touch. Its about 5-10 min walk from the train station. The hotel is right next to the ferry boat ride overlooking the town plaza. The whole place has a town square feel in a online RPG game. Very enjoyable stay."

"The hotel is up keep, very clean and tidy. Staff is very friendly, patience to help with my check in process. Breakfast is good choices. Laundry on the ground floor is details oriented. Highly recommend "

"Great stay! The staff is really what made it very pleasant there! Thanks! "

"Thank you for your great service"

"The place is amazing. The only issue is the breakfast and dinner on offer. They never changed. It was the same thing over and over again. This was hard for someone like me who stayed for three days. It becomes unappetising after a while. Many guests have decided to eat out instead. A little bit of variety could have helped. This can be done well without blowing the budget, if they were adhering to a set amount. Overall, I give it a 4 instead of a 5. But had I stayed only one night, the food would have been a non-issue. In a way, this rating isn’t fair for them. However, I have to be honest."

"The staff is friendly and helpful. They have luggage transfer service, taqbin, to my next hotel (with a charge). When requested, they helped me to ask the other hotel if they can receive my luggage ahead of my check in. Their check in/out is also very foreigner friendly. You use a machine which can display in japanese english, chinese and korean to check in/out (with the staff help)"
