First off, great beer but not anymore after 6. I don’t know why do they expect us to drink from 3-6pm. After 9, there is alcohol section but rather hard liquor :( . In need of deep renovation of the entire hotel and room. the layout of the beds was weird and 2 of the beds were hard sofa(not comfortable for elderly). We were not told this. Big room, good. Online it said it was renovated in 2024 but I think they meant is renovating only the lobby floor, but the view and location is not bad. There’s also no outlet in the bathroom so I had to dry my hair outside of bathroom. Overall not met ‘Mercure’ quality.

Thank you very much for staying at Mercure Saga Karatsu Resort and for taking the time to share your honest feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated the spaciousness of your room, the view, and our location. At the same time, we sincerely apologize that our lounge drink service hours, bed arrangements, and room facilities did not meet your expectations.

Our stay at Saga Karatsu was an absolute pleasure. Kind, respectful staff who really went out of their way to make our experience fabulous! Loved the extra space and the opportunity to experience western/japanese room. Breakfast was a banquet…Konto was a wonderful man who really went the extra mile. He turned our breakfast banquet into an Extravaganza! Shuttle service was an absolute bonus too (It meant that I got to shop😜) Afternoon and evening drinks and snacks were much welcomed. The Mercure Hospitality really did shine! This opportunity is great because it allows us to enjoy the company of others. It really enhanced our stay!
