7.0/10

I enjoyed my stay at Hotel & Resorts Saga Karatsu, though there were some aspects that could use improvement. The large room provided a nice view, but the carpeting was quite spotted and dated. The location was great, being near the seaside and walkable to the beach, but the dining options were hit or miss, with lunch being a bit pricey and mediocre. However, I appreciated the friendly staff who went out of their way to help me when I needed a last-minute ride to the train station.

Rooms

My suite was spacious at 68 sq/m with large windows that let in light. However, the furnishings and carpets felt tired and could use a refresh.

My stay at Hotel & Resorts Saga Karatsu had its ups and downs. While the large suite I booked was bright and spacious, the overall decor felt dated, reminiscent of the 1960s. I appreciated the plentiful bathroom amenities and the friendly staff, even if their English was limited. Overall, it's a decent value for money, especially for the space, but some updates could make it more comfortable. 😊🌊

My stay at the Karatsu Royal Hotel was quite enjoyable. The location was excellent, just across from the seaside and within walking distance to a convenience store. However, the hotel's age showed with dated rooms and some maintenance issues, like the old carpet. Overall, it's decent for the price, but expect a few quirks.

Rooms

I had a semi-Western room with a sea view, which was spacious but the carpeting was in dire need of replacement. Still, that view made it a lot more bearable.

Service

The dining options were not bad, with the buffet offering above average food, but it lacked that extra wow factor. I ended up exploring local restaurants for dinner, which turned out well.

Facilities

Facilities seemed sufficient, but I didn't use the onsen or restaurant during my stay. I did notice there was no WiFi in the rooms which was less than ideal.

I had a pleasant stay at Hotel & Resorts Saga Karatsu. The hotel has a fantastic location near the beach and Karatsu Castle, but the decor felt a bit outdated. The staff, particularly Mr. Suzuki, went above and beyond to ensure my daughter's safety with her nut allergy, which I truly appreciated. Despite some minor issues, overall, it was a good value for the spacious suite we had.

Rooms

The suite was massive at 68 square meters, with large windows that let in natural light. While the furnishings felt dated, the space was more than adequate for my needs.
