Oyster Hotel Review
Hotel Forza Hakata, Hakata Sta. Chikushi Guchi Ⅰ
Scene
Chic and modern business hotel that draws tourists too
Hotel Forza Hakata is located on a busy commercial street in a tall, narrow building built in 2012. The lobby area is modern and spacious, with beige-tile floors and a large dark-brown reception counter backed by a wide abstract floral print -- a motif that repeats elsewhere. Long white banquette couches topped with pillows in shades the color of Neapolitan ice cream provide seating. An attractive brown-and-white patterned carpet marks off the space, and a laser-cut floral room divider adds a little privacy. The hotel caters to business travelers, who make up a large part of the clientele, but it's also popular with couples and families visiting Fukuoka for the sights.

The 170 guest rooms at Hotel Forza Hakata are spacious by Japanese standards. Beds are generously sized, and some rooms have sofas. Decor is simple but pleasing, with dark carpets, off-white walls, and colorful abstract floral prints. Bathrooms are comparatively spacious, too, with separate ceramic sinks (instead of the molded plastic fixtures commonly found in Japanese hotels), and shower/tub combos. Some rooms, like the Hollywood Twin Rooms, have separate toilet and sink areas, and a “wet bathroom" consisting of bathtubs and separate power showers. All rooms come with luxe extras, like iPads, Nescafe Dolce Gusto machines, Bluetooth speakers, and massage pillows. Healing Double Rooms add massage chairs. All rooms have large flat-screen TVs, air purifiers with humidifying functions, electric kettles, mini-fridges, pant presses, magnifying mirrors, chargers for gadgets, and free Wi-Fi.
