LAMP LIGHT BOOKS HOTEL fukuoka

It was in a very popular street for youth to go shopping and I really liked that. There’s great vintage/thrift stores that I recommend checking out. There were a lot of food options nearby. The hotel room was very clean and spacious plus also nicely decorated. Breakfast was super tasty! Lastly, the staff was very kind and cute. They spoke english well, not a must but definitely appreciated!

If you’re a book lover or just someone who appreciates a calm, aesthetic vibe, you’ll probably love this place. The lobby and café area feel like a modern library - relaxing music, gorgeous bookshelves, and plenty of cozy seating with power outlets at every spot. Perfect for catching up on emails, working, studying, or planning your next ramen stop. Even better, the café is open 24/7. One night I found myself sitting in the library-style lounge from midnight to 2am, sipping tea and planning my next day on my laptop. Super peaceful and such a rare find. The café serves decent coffee - nothing to write home about, but it does the job. If you like your coffee strong (like, wake-me-up strong), I’d suggest asking for an extra shot or less milk to give it more punch. Their standard ratio leans heavily into the milk side of life. Soy milk was available, which was great. Unfortunately, no oat milk on offer. My double room was spotless and well laid out, with a comfy reading chair that made the whole "book hotel" theme feel like more than just branding. The toilet and shower setup was also impressive. The staff were super friendly and helpful - they also booked me a taxi without any fuss and answered all my questions with a smile. Location-wise, it’s solid. About a 10-minute taxi (roughly 1,100 yen) to or from Hakata Station, and an easy walk to Tenjin. You’re also surrounded by bars, restaurants, and convenience stores, so there’s no shortage of options. If retail therapy’s on the agenda, Canal City Shopping Centre is about a 20-minute walk or a quick 10-minute cab ride.

Cool hotel slap bang in the middle of some great restaurants and shops. The ground floor is mostly taken up with a library themed cafe. There were limited food options - mainly sandwiches and cakes but the food was tasty. The coffee was very good. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was clean but cramped - so much so that we contemplated seeing if we could book a second room. We did spot one room that looked as though it had some sort of bunk bed arrangement - which might have made that room less cramped. There is a laundry room on the ground floor which was a bonus.

The location of this hotel is excellent for exploring Fukuoka. The rooms were cosy but very clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and very helpful when we requested to forward our luggage on to our next hotel. There's a good selection of coffee and beers downstairs too. As well as a whole selection of books you could pick up and take back to your room if you wanted to. This place had a lovely atmosphere and was a great base for our short stay in Fukuoka. I would gladly stay here again and recommend to others.

Love this little hotel, what a gem! Located right in Daimyo, a hip neighbourhood in Fukuoka - loads of clothing shops, cafes and restaurants nearby. Downstairs lobby doubles as a 24/7 cafe and coworking space - so cute! Staff were all insanely lovely and helpful. Laundry machine downstairs was super convenient also! As for the room itself, although it looked small the bed is MASSIVE and so so comfortable! We were able to fit our 2 large suitcases fine. Bathroom was really nice with the bathtub and shower are modern and separated in a wet room. Will definitely be staying here again!
