I looked for a hostel in the internet and I only found two: Hakata Riverside Hostel and Fukuoka Youth Hostel. I chose the former because it was ¥500 ($5) cheaper than the latter but when I checked in, I paid ¥2,500 ($25) per night. Hmmmm
It's obvious that this was a business hotel converted into a hostel. The room was small and has 2 double deck beds. It has a toilet inside. However, the airconditioner was new and quiet and there was no unpleasant smell. The beddings were white and clean. Or, just imagine a single room in a business hotel with 2 double deck beds and wish that your roommate doesn't smell.
A room on the 3rd floor was converted into a Lounge where you can have free coffee/tea. You can also use the fridge, microwave oven, toaster and a small TV. There's a PC, too, but you have to pay a dollar per hour. But there's no place to cook and it feels awkward to wash the dishes in the bathroom so we just left our used cups and spoons on the table.
Free WIFI but its soooo slow.
The Staff are quite formal but friendly and except for a lady they were all middle aged men.
The location is in the Shotengai (row of shops) near the Nakasu red-light district. Canal City Dept Store is close and a 24hr supermarket is about a couple of minutes away. So, there's no need to cook.
By the way, the capsule hotel rates are just about the same as a capsule hotel where you can enjoy a sauna. So, if you are planning only to sleep and needs to sweat out, chose the capsule hotel across the bridge.
