My two-night stay at Hotel Carna A in Kumamoto had its ups and downs. On the bright side, the location was fantastic—close to Kumamoto Castle and shopping streets. I appreciated the cleanliness of the capsule and shared bathrooms. However, I found the air ventilation system very noisy, making it hard to get quality sleep. Overall, it offered a decent experience, but some features need improvement. 🌆😴

My stay at Hotel Carna A was a mixed bag. The great location and friendly staff stood out, but there were a few downsides that could be improved. I appreciated the cleanliness and the onsen, yet I faced some challenges with the facilities and room size.

The capsule room was as expected, though slightly cramped for my height. I did find some discomfort in the mornings from the bed's size. Keeping my backpack in the capsule or in lockers was a bit inconvenient, especially since the men's lockers were on the first floor.

The public bath and onsen were nice touches, but the tattoo policy was restrictive. I also missed having showers available on the men's floors.

I enjoyed the central location of Hotel Carna A, making it easy to explore everything around.
