forumWhat families say
Families praise the seven themed Family Suites, the Hakata Bay-view communal bath, and the private-hire baths (where even small children can bathe). Breakfast and co-sleeping are free for children under school age, and free loan items (crib, kids' cutlery set, step stool) mean families can pack light - a big reason guests recommend this hotel.
