The hotel is literally in the densest and most convenient part of the city in Tenjin. There are maybe 500 (?) restaurants within a 2 block radius, it's insane. Inside the hotel itself is a very large mall that has several floors of great restaurants, then there is another giant mall right next door, then another giant mall after that... it just keeps going. Endless amounts of shops and restaurants. There is an underground shopping street that is seriously a mile long, again with endless amounts of shops and restaurants, and the underground shopping street connects all of the above ground malls, hotels, and the train station. So if it is raining, you can still get from the hotel to all of the shops/trains without having to get wet. But besides the malls, the outdoor streets also have hundreds of great restaurants and other shops, dozens of convenience stores, etc... Then you have both subway lines directly next to the hotel, one regular train line, and a bus station. The area is just as dense as any of the dense areas of Tokyo, so if you're looking for a place to stay that gives you a lot of things to do, this is it. It gives you that same overwhelming feel that other great Japan city centers gives you, where there are so many restaurants and things to do that you feel overwhelmed with choices. The trains that the hotel is close to will take you anywhere around Fukuoka, but they do not take you out of Fukuoka. For that you need to get the JR trains out of Hakata station, which is very close but you do have to make that transfer. So if you're frequently going out of Fukuoka then I would recommend staying closer to Hakata station instead of Tenjin, but if most of your visit will be staying in Fukuoka-city, then staying here is the most convenient. The room itself was nicely appointed without being too luxurious. Just right for the price. It was a decent size, not crazy small like a lot of other rooms in Japan, but not really huge either.

I could hear upstairs people walking around and closing doors. It wasn't the worst thing in the world and it wasn't as loud as other hotels made from wood (this is a concrete building), but it was annoying if I was trying to get early sleep.

Front desk staff were exceptionally approachable and helpful by assisting us in booking and arranging for the bags to be loaded onto the taxi. Will definitely return to your hotel for our next visit, Location wise, it is centrally located in the city center. Transportation was convenient as the bus terminal is just within walking distance and bus stops just outside the hotel.

Housekeeping was done only on alternate days resulting in trash not cleared. Therefore, soiled baby's diapers and leftover baby's food resulted in unpleasant smell in the room.

Took a free shuttle from Intl terminal to domestic terminal so as to get to subway which is 5 stops from hotel. Location is in the heart of Fukuoka. Easy to navigate to elsewhere for sightseeing. Good to have bottled water refilled daily, I was alright with alternate day housekeeping. McD, Mister Donut & Starbucks just minutes away. Mitsukoshi is just next door and Daimaru (Big Muji there!) is across the road from Mitsukoshi. Love the self help DHC sachets and toilet amenities in hotel lobby, the face wash is good for winter. Coffee machine in the room is also a plus but the coffee is so so only. Having a humidifier in the room is a plus point too.

My teen found a piece of used plaster under the bedsheets. Would be good to have coin operated washing machine in a common area for guests use.

Convenient hotel that is linked to a mall and next to the train station. Parking was available onsite if you drive. Location itself was very near to the airport - about a 10-15min drive in the morning. Rooms were comfortable and bathroom was also a good size.

No coin laundry available onsite - nearest one was a 10min walk away in another hotel. Lift was not dedicated to hotel guests - had to share with either those visiting the mall or going to the hotel restaurants and bar. Hence, sometimes there could be a long wait for the lifts to go up to the rooms.

The staff speak proper English which is helpful. Staff are very courteous and helpful. The room is comfortable. Shopping is very close if you are into shopping.

The bath is very deep but you cannot fill it up to the top because the water will drain off once it reach the drainage area. This water doesn't cover the body properly. There is no handle on the bath and make it hard to get off from the deep bath. The view from the room is not spectacular as commenting by others because there is a lot of construction of new taller building which is obstructing the views.

Very centrally located in Tenjin, with the train and bus station all within 2-3 min walking distance. Connected to the underground mall which was convenient on rainy days. Surrounded by mall and a local shopping street. Don’t need to worry about food, it is available everywhere. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had many luggages but they were kind to help me with them. Even helped me to book a taxi to get us to the airport. The room was fully equipped and even provided all the necessary toiletries. Love the Algae Bath salt that was complimentary.

The hotel lobby was on level 6 and we had to lug some of our luggages up. The staff provided a trolley for us to manage all the luggages.

The bed was SO comfy and the room was well-appointed and larger than typical Japanese business-style hotels I’ve stayed at before. I had a small fridge, a keurig and an electric kettle. There was a room enough for a small table with two chairs. A hot shower and a soaking tub for long hot baths. They also had a great selection of amenities you could pick up from the reception area - shaving razor, hair ties, lotions, etc. The hotel was a great location for getting around Fukuoka city. Also appreciated the very polite staff who spoke some English, which was very thoughtful and helpful.

My only wish was that I had better directions on how to find the hotel after getting off at the Tenjin stop on the airport line. If they had better directions on their hotel website or in an email as part of their standard communications, that would have been helpful and ease the stress of trying to figure out where to go with all my luggage in tow. The chikagai can be really overwhelming when you are completely unfamiliar with the city.

This is our second time to Fukuoka and we decided to try a new hotel so we ended up at Solaria Noshitetsu. The best thing about the hotel has got to be the location - it’s connected to both solaria malls and is right smack in the shopping district and surrounded by so many malls/department stores which makes it super convenient to return to the hotel for a short break or to drop off bags! The reception area on level 6 looks a little dated so we were initially apprehensive about the rooms while checking in. As we got to the hotel before check in time, they kept our bags and later sent them directly to our rooms which was much appreciated. We were definitely pleasantly surprised by the rooms and it was tastefully designed with nice touches of ceramics and the space was also pretty roomy. Definitely one of the larger hotel rooms we’ve had in Japan. We were really happy with the overall experience staying here and would definitely return in future

The hotel's location was fantastic! Being so close to the mall was perfect for shopping, while the underground tunnel connection to the train station made day trips or exploring other areas of the city super convenient. Easy cab access was another plus, ideal for those who prefer not to use public transportation.

The hotel's cleaning policy wasn't clear during booking, the room cleaning wasn't daily. Housekeeping came every other day. However, on days they dont clean the room, they provided fresh towels and bottled water daily.

The location is excellent, with train station and several shopping malls and eateries located within walking distance. The room is clean and the staff are most helpful and friendly.

This is more to flag to those planning their stay with friends and families. I had a superior double room to myself. While the bed and bathroom are comfortably-sized, it was a challenge to place my large suitcase. Understand space is a premium in Japan so this would be something we have to manage.
