No Wifi security. No stay here anymore.
Wifi is unsecured without password. Biggest no no. Will not stay in Smile anymore.
C’mon, isn’t this a common protocol, internet hygiene factor?

Close to many restaurants and station. Little loud at night from people at a popular ramen shop across from hotel, but it was mostly fine. Would stay again.

Good value for the money. Be sure to buy a voucher for breakfast a day before to save 300 yen.

I got fresh towels everyday👍. The hotel is very near Hakata Station. A popular local ramen shop is just around the corner of the hotel. A local bus stop is just one block away. Very comfortable place.

A nice little hotel near the station and easy access to the centre of town, staff were polite and friendly and apart from lack of storage space for clothes (a normal thing in Japan hotels) everything was really good.

i like that you can see the status of the washing machine and dryers on the TV in your room (although I didn't find it until the second night).

I appreciated how welcoming the staff was, and how comfortable the room was. The breakfast was very delicious as well. I think it would be nice to extend the breakfast time to 10:00.
