Hotel New Simple

Fukuoka


This boxy, inexpensive yet modern lodging has neat and clean single and twin rooms with private bathrooms. 'Family' rooms sleep up to five at ¥3900 per person. Guests in single and twin rooms get a simple Japanese breakfast. It's down the street from the President Hotel.

The 'dorm'-style rooms, which sleep six (comfortably) to 12 (tightly), are not for strangers; they're for families or groups who already know each other.
