Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk

As Hilton members, the positives of the hotel were an upgrade to a very large and spacious room with a seaview and access to the lounge for our family. The evening selection at the lounge was good with an offering of alcohol such as sake. The hotel is located about a 20min drive from the airport. There is a large shopping centre which we could walk to, plus many restaurants and convenience stores in close proximity. It is one of the largest Hilton hotels in Asia with over 1,000 rooms and the hotel can get very crowded especially during breakfast (though there was a special corner for Hilton members). There was one instance where we had made a housekeeping request but it was lost in translation. Eventually the miscommunication was clarified on the third attempt.

I booked a Double room as a diamond member. The day before check in I was upgraded to an Executive King room. A pretty good upgrade! I was readily helped in English at the elite line. The main lobby area is amazingly spacious. The room itself was nice. The building is a bit on the older side and this feeling extends to both the room and the executive lounge. I did notice a bug in the bathroom trash can but it was just one small one. The view was great. Rooms on the west side have a view of the Fukuoka Tower area. I was on the east side which can clearly see Paypay Dome. In fact, on days when the dome was open you could even see the sports field. The hotel itself is one of the biggest Hilton properties I’ve stayed at in Japan. The main lobby area and restaurant are amazingly spacious. There are dedicated elevators to the lower-middle floors as well as the higher floors. If going from a high level to a middle level it actually becomes necessary to transfer elevators on the 17th floor. Of course, to be clear there is direct access to the lobby no matter what floor you’re on. The hotel is located near the ocean and is a bit far from central Fukuoka. It’s important to note that there are no nearby train or subway stations. It’s necessary to take the bus when utilizing transit. That said, the eastbound bus stop is right next to one of the hotel’s entrances while the westbound bus stop is right across the street. I enjoyed breakfast once as well as evening cocktail hour in the executive lounge. The staff did a good job accommodating guests and I thought the selection was fair. As I mentioned before, the building is a bit older so the lounge matched the slightly dated feeling. I more so enjoyed breakfast in the main restaurant on the 4th floor. There were plenty of options including Hakata ramen and some delicious cocoa in the members’ area. The dining area is huge and I was glad to see there was an elite line as well as a dedicated area for Hilton members. As far as I could tell, there was no elite requirement for the members seating area so I’m puzzled why people don’t take a minute to sign up for a free membership. One of the best amenities that I look forward to seeing at a hotel in Japan is an onsen. This hotel indeed has one on the 7th floor. Of course, a locker room, hot bath, cold bath, and sauna were all included. As a diamond member I enjoyed complimentary access. I really enjoyed these facilities and partook every day of my stay. I believe normal access was 1,500 yen. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and I believe the benefits far outweigh the few small criticisms I have. The price was also quite reasonable for the experience so the next time I come to Fukuoka I believe this will be my go-to hotel.

The hotel was big and clean. Rooms Were large, excellent views. Breakfast was a little bit disappointing, I’ve stayed in smaller hotels with a better range but breakfast is breakfast! I’ve given three stars due to the pool being closed. I booked this hotel because of the swimming facilities. If I’d knows the pool is shut on Mondays and Tuesdays then I’d probably have booked somewhere cheaper and closer to where I needed to be. Wasn’t stated anywhere until I’d turned up to the hotel

The Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk is a solid 4-star hotel, with great views of Fukuoka from the higher floors. I found the service, especially in the executive lounge, to be excellent and all the staff were very friendly. I enjoyed the breakfast and evening service in the lounge – particularly the Japanese breakfast offerings. I had great views from the room, while I will admit that the room style was a little outdated. The bed was also a little too hard for my taste, but that’s generally my problem at any hotel in Japan. There is a nearby mall, and of course the huge Fukuoka dome stadium, but aside from that this is probably the hotel’s biggest drawback in that it’s kind of far from the main entertainment parts of Fukuoka, and not connected to the subway system. Other than that, I liked the hotel and would recommend it to anyone who is visiting for business or pleasure.

Having a big company event here. Large hotel next to the beach. Like most hotels in Japan, this hotel is oldish Huge lobby and i have a nice room with a seperate living area, and a large bathroom. Weird wasted bathtub area with a giant block of marble Breakfast at the top floor lounge was ok Good conference facilities
