Great location with less than a minute walk to the station. Room size was fine since it was just me staying. Definitely liked the size of the tub and it’s deep.

Definitely some downsides that I only found out after checking in. The room is so dimly lit. Even the bathroom is a dark blue with a blue bathtub. Such a hassle to put on make up because of insufficient lighting and even in the bathroom the sink has various cutouts so there’s not much space for any product. There is no air con, just a knob for “low or high temp”. (My room stayed on the cooler side like I wanted, but don’t like that I couldn’t feel the air or see the exact temperature). The walls were thinner than expected, you could hear the neighbors and people in the hallway.

No problems with staff, check in and check out were easy. Bed was fine, glad to not have a twin bed.

Positive:
Nice location with many shops and restaurants.
Free drinks and DJ playing music between 5:30-6:30pm.
Nice decor on the first floor and hip and young vibe.
Nice staff and very smooth check in and check out.

Negative:
Bathroom was very small and tight, and looked like they just painted over super old bathroom. It definitely needs serious update.
Sink had some cracks and water draining super slow for both sink and bath tub.
Both room and bathroom were very dark, either it may be intentional. It is hard for woman to put make up on in that dark environment.
No YouTube or streaming platform options on TV.
Tv remote kept going on and off and couldn’t change channel consistently.
Breakfast is not a buffet style so they will give you a preset plate for Japanese or Western style. The foods were “creative” and I couldn’t go for less or more of what I wanted and didn’t want. It felt a little wasteful to me.

I may stay here again, maybe upgrade my room next time, just because of the location and free drink service for the one hour window.

The hotel is nicely located, close to major restaurants and activities but fairly close to the Fukuoka Canal City, where you can find the Red Light District style of businesses. The room and bathroom I stayed in were very small; I felt very cramped. Because of the small size, the room DOES NOT HAVE ANY CLOSETS. In fact, it is so small that you cannot walk around both sides of the bed. No place to open even a carry-on suitcase and very few hangers. The bathroom was clean, but there is no fan if you are going number two. Therefore, I had to do my business downstairs in the lobby bathroom before going to bed.

The hotel is near the one of busiest downtown area in Fukuoka with many of night clubs and bars within walking distance. The hotel itself has modern urban vibe to it especially as you walk in the staff was very helpful and there is a really good restaurant near the reception desk that has a good selection western and Japanese food for breakfast, there's even a barat the lobby itself so you come down for some drinks The only knock I would give them is there was any supplies such as toothbrushes or savers like other hotels but that is minor inconvenience. Over all if you are ever in Fukuoka Japan, The Lively is a great place to stay as you explore the city.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. On the positive side, the bed was comfortable and I did get a good night’s sleep. However, the room was quite small and a bit awkward to move around in, particularly the bathroom door area and especially with luggage coming in and out the room. There were also some cleanliness and condition issues, like peeling paint/wallpaper and a bit of grime around the sink and shower curtain. With the air conditioning you can only manage the flow of air low/medium/high, not the temperature, which isn’t ideal. The common areas and laundrette were not well maintained. The washing machines were grimy, I emptied full bins right next to them and leftover clothing scattered around. The shared spaces didn’t feel clean and tidy, it was all a bit tired and not up to scratch. Overall, it was okay for a short stay, but I think a little maintenance and a refresh would go a long way.

A Wonderful Stay With Lovely Professional Staffs!

What separates a great hotel from the ordinary normal one? This is the one lovely hotel that stands out in the entire Fukuoka even the overrated Hotel Okura (Okura staffs are old, looks tired and extremely unfriendly) doesn’t come close to this hotel whose staffs are more vibrant and visibly conscious of the guests! The main factor is that some of the staffs are so efficient, competent and professional like Front staff- Takuma Ikegami and the F&B Manager- Asuka Ueyama. Makes your overall stay experience more enchanting and memorable!
Please send these two wonderful individuals my appreciation and gratitude.

The hotel is not as clean as expected compare to other same stars hotel in japan. Especially was very disappointed after using the washing machine and dryer. Both machines were not working property and need to hang the clothes in a tiny room to dry them up without ebough hangers and space.
As the room are in darker end, you feel the furniture are kind of dusty. The heat in the room is very dry, and the humidity fire is all ran out for rental. It should be one of the must items in the room.

It is a boutique hotel conveniently located in the heart of the city. Very small room but functional and neat. Parking is available at the hotel for 1600 yen overnight. It is an automated revolving system for small cars, where u drive inside the lift container onto the car carousel, then exit car, pay and get ticket from the attendant and leave him to do the rest. Rather daunting if you are unsure of how it works as the parking attendant cant speak English. Would be useful for the hotel to provide an English signage with instructions on how to park. This carpark is at the back entrance of the hotel with an obscure signage of the hotel name. Had to look hard to know that we have arrived at the right place.

Well-maintained hotel with a trendy cool vibe. Not only located just 1-min away from the subway station exit, numerous restaurants (including a 24/7 Ichiran ramen outlet) are reachable within a 5-min walk. Easily accessible to Canal city and Tenjin by foot!
The only -ve is its strict 3pm check-in time. Staff only begins the check-in at that time; hotel will offer to store your luggage if arrived earlier than 3pm [even at 2.45pm].
