    The rooms were a bit outdated. The bathroom was very small. Whenever you took a shower, the water was everywhere. Also the bathtub wasn’t draining properly and the drains were rusty.

    The location was central. Close to metro and shops. They had a very nice bar downstairs with free beer or lemon sour hour. Staff was very helpful.

    Rooms a bit outdated, but really nothing to complain about.

    Good location, tasty breakfast (both Japanese and continental). Rooms are on a smaller side, but fine for a sleepover.

    Perfectly good hotel for a brief stay in Fukuoka.

    The bathroom was a little bit cramped, and didn't have a working fan in it, so it took a long time to air out after taking a shower.

    The Lively is a stylish hotel with a nice restaurant and bar on the first floor. The food was great (albeit a little expensive) and the staff were nice, and spoke English.

    Bathroom was small and chair in the room only served as bag stand. Free drinks in the lobby was a furniture shuffle and a bunch of people on their phones. Not great, but it’s something for nothing, so hard to complain, I guess.

    Very good location. Fukuoka is an incredible city and this hotel is on the doorstep of everything.

    While the area has lots of shops you might want to go to (convenience stores, chain food stores, donki etc), the area can get a little seedy a few streets down if you go down that way. If you're concerned about walking around those kinds of places, make sure to check ahead.

    Very stylishly decorated hotel which feels newly refurbished. None of the fittings seemed old or outdated. Front staff were friendly and accommodating, they seemed to be able to speak English as well (although I spoke to them in Japanese). Very closely located to one of the main train lines, which is very convenient.

    Nicely appointed hotel, clean and quiet rooms, good location, but felt a little overpriced.

    Furniture in the room was weird - designed to save space but just a little inconvenient to use (shelves that slid in, etc.) Meanwhile, the bed had the opposite problem - the headboard design took up several inches of the bed so my feet hung off the end.

    Clean and quiet room, good water pressure, nice lounge/co-working area on the second floor

    For me personally, while I liked the lounge area, the music could have been a bit softer. I know the hotel's name has the word "Lively" in it, but I like a chill vibe with chill music in a lounge type area.

    The staff were wonderful. I liked the fact that they offered happy hour at 17:30 daily with free beer. Nice touch. My room was very clean and efficiently organized. You get a choice to choose between 4 main meals for breakfast; I had eggs benedict daily so you get a good protein meal in addition to quiche, salad and fruits.

    The room was sometimes noisy I could hear footsteps from other floors and other guests in the hallways in the middle of the night. I also didn't like the music and volume that it was played in the lobby

    The reception staff were extremely helpful and friendly, they went out of their way to give recommendations and directions. The location was great.

    Beds are little shorter than average, so for tall people that might be a slight issue.

    Been here for the second time and will surely return! Modern rooms with stylish furniture, all in very good condition. Rooms are a little small but still big enough for suitcase to fit. Free Beer at the bar every evening, nice to interact with other guests! Very central, 10 minute walk to Jattai area. Staff is very fluent in English, very nice Bar staff, too.

    Absolutely nothing. This hotel is excellent.

    This hotel was just too cool for me and my nerdy friends, LOL. It really was a blast to stay here. The rooms were great. They felt roomy despite being the typically small room you see in Japan. I never felt like I was cramped. Plenty of outlets and usb plugs for charging. Wi-Fi worked really well. Our rooms (9th floor) were super quiet.

    Cleanliness of the room has room to improve. Dusty behind door and on the bed frame. Toilet and bathroom seen better day, very old and the sink is partially broken. Certain staffs served at the bar was not as warm to hotel guest as the rest.

    Location is very good, the airport line subway is right at the corner, about 2 mins walk. The vibe in the hotel is great, they served free beer and drink between 17 30 to 18 30 for hotel guest. Reception staffs are friendly. The bed is comfy.
