Kagoshima hotellia

Plussat: Location and view were amazing. Huge property under construction. Breakfast was excellent!

Plussat: must try hotel breakfast, thought a bit expensive, it worth! if you wake up early, you can see beautiful sunrise~

Miinukset: a little unknown smell in the room, not bad smell, just we did not use to.

Plussat: Outdoor onsen is amazing, you can see Sakurajima Volcano while you are in outdoor onsen.

Miinukset: The location not in the city center

Plussat: Incredible service. Shuttle bus to JR, to bus stop, to Temonkan (shopping street) depart 2 times each hour. There is small gift from front desk, a handsome guy help to take luggage to room. The lights are so bright in the evening, plays Maroon 5 songs, men are in suits, service are so gentle. I just feel I am in the movie Midnight in Shiroyama. Haha The onsen is amazing. The space is so large, the outdoor onsen has terrific scenery. Shampoo and conditioner are really good.

Plussat: The restaurants that we tried, Tempura Keiten and Sushitei Sakura, as well as Bakery Shiroyama were all excellent. The staff in all were great and the food was outstanding. The tempura was some of the best we had in Japan and the sushi was actually the best meal we had while in Japan. We liked the sushi place so much we went twice. The bakery has some really delicious breads, particularly the maple flavoured loaves, that we actually ended up getting every day for breakfast so that we could avoid going to the repulsive breakfast buffet. The shuttle bus makes it reasonable to stay here because the hotel is located on top of a hill that would make it difficult to get to without the shuttle bus. The shuttle bus makes several stops around Kagoshima allowing you to get to the main tourist and shopping areas pretty easily. Though it does take about 30 minutes to get from the hotel to the last stop by the ferry terminal.

Miinukset: The hotel is sorely in need of a major refurbishment and cleaning. Our room had a very uncomfortable bed that was lumpy and kept me awake more than asleep. The bathroom was actually dirty with hard water deposits and long term grunginess in the shower. The rug was similarly unpleasantly in need of a cleaning, as well. I was actually surprised by how unclean and run down the room was after reading some of the other reviews. The breakfast buffet was horrible, with Western food consisting of nothing but cold egg dishes (and not purposely cold). Sadly, even the Japanese items on the buffet were not well prepared. It all looked like leftovers from the night before. We ended up trying it twice and gave up in disgust and just started getting items from the bakery for breakfast every day.

Plussat: On top of the hill, inside forest, which provides fresh air and great views. Family Mart inside, but you would need to clear about the map of the hotel, especially the three elevators and place accordingly. Comfortable hot spring, convenient shuttle bus to most of the sites for guests.

Plussat: overlooking the city and the volcano, spectacular view. shuttle to the city or a nice walk to the center. great onsen with all you need. great restaurants, the japanese one was a highlight!

Miinukset: big convention hotel, reception looks like a train station in switzerland, but it’s still a very good choice.

Plussat: The space of family room is very comfortable for 4 adults. Everyone has separate beds and can get really goo rests.

Miinukset: The hotel is under construction so the traffic flow is a little strange but you can get used to it at 2nd day.

Plussat: the breakfast is excellent and the price is reasonable...walk in price is 1000 yen and book in advance...just 800 yen

Miinukset: Convenient and good service

Miinukset: There is just 6 TV channels which is too less. Even all light closed, there is still light spot on the buttons located upper than my head, a little affecting my sleep.

Plussat: The toiletries and amenities. Comfortable bed and you can get extra pillows from the corridor.

Miinukset: Bathroom wasn't very clean and the room was a bit cramped for two people and two suitcases. Otherwise everything else was great!

Plussat: Very good,clean and comportable

Plussat: It's the location that I love the most..very convenient and accessible! It's my second time so I will book again!

Miinukset: Nothing! Just to be honest..

Plussat: Low price compared with hotels near by.

Miinukset: I got a phone call from the hotel at 7pm without any message, on the day I checked in . When I checked in, the staff said that they wanted to check what time I check in. It was annoying to me. No greetings from any of the staff while I was going in and out of the hotel.

Plussat: Easy access, clean, friendly staff.

Miinukset: Nothing to complain

Plussat: 1) did not had hotel breakfast 2) good location 3) nice room but feeling of bathtub and water tap are old On the whole, this hotel is good - 85 up

Miinukset: Bathroom - bathtub and water tap

Plussat: Clean and comfortable room with all the basic amenities. The room is of reasonable size and staff is professional and helpful. Mechanized parking is available. Remember to remove important items from the car before using the car park. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: I use many times when I come tp Kagoshima. It's good for business people also travelers. clean and comfortable. especially the cafe is great. I was pregnant and one of the staff cared about my food. A good price and very good food. The staffs are very kind and talked to me so I can feel my home.

Miinukset: the cafe's boss has no smile. other staffs are very beautiful smiles, please try to smile more.

Plussat: The room is great value for money and the location is great.

Plussat: The location is good and convenience.

Miinukset: I think I could hear noises from other rooms a lot compared to the similar level of hotel.

Plussat: The location. Close to everything

Miinukset: The rooms were too small to accommodate 3 people. Book 2 rooms instead if you are traveling with 3 people.

Plussat: Hotel is perfectly located next to Futuran Food Village.

Miinukset: Lobby area is a little compact

Plussat: Really enjoyable stay for one night. Plenty of room for me to layout my luggage and reorganize it, while still being comfortable. The location was also fantastic considering I had to go to the airport and the bus terminal was no more than a 5-minute walk away.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The hotel was very close to the JR Kagoshima Chuo train station underground entrance and practically next to the Furusato Food village (25 cosy food stalls). Aeon shopping centre was a couple of doors down, handy for snacks and ice cream.

Miinukset: The room was a bit too warm for our liking. The air conditioner only seemed to be a heater (we visited in the winter) which we turned off as it was too hot. Even with it off, it was warm. I was given a small desk fan to use and told to turn on the air purifier. That was enough to sleep, but did make it a bit noisy and bright (what with all the led lights on the machine).

Plussat: Fine, like any other APA hotel. Convenient if you come from or have to go to Kagoshima station

Plussat: Near the Amu Plaza Near public transportation

Miinukset: Not so friendly staff

Plussat: The best about the hotel was it‘s central location.

Miinukset: The room was too small for us and possibly the smallest room we‘ve stayed in Japan. The wifi didn‘t work properly as it was too slow. The window couldn‘t be opened to let fresh air in.

Plussat: Moderni ja toiminnallisesti hyvin suunniteltu huone. Henkilökunta vastaanotossa japanilaiseen tapaan hyvin ystävällistä.

Miinukset: -.

Plussat: Very close to Shinkansen station with its beautiful mall. Local transportation by tram and local trains easy and nearby

Miinukset: Late check in (3.00pm) and early check out (11.00am)

Plussat: Directly in front of the shinkansen station. The room is super modern and appointed beautifully. The bathroom is huge. Everything about the building and room is clean, modern, sophisticated.

Plussat: Perfect location, great staffs and comfortable rooms! Highly recommended.

Plussat: The simplicity is very appraising.

Miinukset: Should install individual internal phones in lobby for more privacy when guests request.

Plussat: Location, staff, cleanliness, breakfast.

Miinukset: Bed against the wall.

Plussat: Great location a few seconds away from the main station in Kagoshima. Friendly staff always ready to help The room was clean and bathroom products were quality

Miinukset: Smell of cigarettes smokes in the lift. The room could have been slightly bigger The bed was quite tight for 2 people

Plussat: Close to shopping areas and JR Comfortable room My recommendation

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: Room was spacious and clean, and staff was helpful in my using the internet. Location in the train station was very convenient.

Plussat: This hotel is an excellent choice if you arrive by train. It is just a couple of minutes from the JR arrivals hall. There is a information kiosk close by which made it really easy to plan activities in Kagoshima. Our room was a reasonable size for a Japanese hotel. The location is great for shopping and eating too. Kagoshima was a surprisingly interesting city with a key role inJapan’s modern history. This hotel is an excellent base for exploration.

Miinukset: It is just a hotel room, no great atmosphere about it (but the location is great). Breakfast was fairly average although perfectly adequate.

Plussat: The breakfast has a wide variety of selections. The location is excellent with entrance right at JR station.

Miinukset: The room is a bit small for two. There is not enough space for big luggages.

Plussat: Very central location right on top of the train station and multiple big shopping malls reachable without going outside. There are ranges of restaurants, shops and activities to be found and the hotel is relatively close to central Kagoshima, hence trips to the city or further North / South are very easy. Parking is available at a discount and if you need to take the train there couldn't be a better location. Though the rooms are not very big, the separate shower and annex bathroom were largely sufficient for a family of 4. We didn't have breakfast in the hotel but chose some of the excellent bakeries in the shopping mall which the hotel is attached to.

Miinukset: Parking indications are not obvious, so if you're new in the area it's good to get that simple map how to reach the parking from the front desk sent to you in advance. Rooms are relatively small (but the bathroom with separate shower room are sufficient in size)

Plussat: 1. Love the location. It is within the train station. 2. The room are super clean and neat 3. Good value for money too. 4. Check in staff are very friendly and check in procedure are so efficient.

Miinukset: There is nothing that I could fault on.

Plussat: Location is convenient

Miinukset: Location not available ON car's GPS, difficult to find the hotel

Plussat: The only thing we enjoyed about this hotel was its location, just 15min away from the ports, and within walking distance from plenty of restaurants.

Miinukset: - The smoking smell everywhere in the hotel, INCLUDING inside our NON SMOKER room. It is disgusting. - The complete mess we saw in the corridors in the middle of the day. - The room was not properly clean. - The staff can barely speak English.

Plussat: Great location, bed is comfortable, nice staff

Plussat: Fabulous location, very neat transport, shopping and food. Very clean and elegant room. Good size and comfortable.

Miinukset: Although it was a non smoking room, you could still smell smoke, an in the elevator too.

Plussat: There is slight smoking smell, but people from front counter solve the situation efficiently for us. Also, they suggested us nice restaurants nearby.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Shopping centre and outlet beside hotel

Plussat: the shuttle bus arrangement if it can also provide in the morning from Station to hotel is much more better, actually it is very good in such arrangements.The location is fine (not too far from the station and shopping centre), and there are shopping mall in short distance too.The view in onsen is very good. The staff is very nice and helpful.

Miinukset: The pillow is too high and hard (the other one is so soft and low.

Plussat: The view was phenomenal. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The beds were also very comfy. Great value too!!! Will definitely stay here again if we make it back to Kagoshima.

Plussat: location is very good with a good view. the onsen is pretty good too

Miinukset: the decor is a bit old.

Miinukset: Excellent location sitting close to the heart of Tenmonkan. The breakfast is definitely worthwhile to have everyday.

Plussat: The facilities is clean the morning breakfast is good

Miinukset: Nothing the staff is so kind

Plussat: Accommodation fee doesn’t contain the breakfast service . You have to pay additional charge 550 yen. Others are good enough, it is a good choice if you stay here

Miinukset: No problems. Happy with everything

Miinukset: Not much English spoken but we all managed. Compact room but comfortable.

Plussat: Everything was excellent. The hotel is very clean, I had a very nice view of the volcano, the room is nice and very well maintained. I enjoyed my stay and would come back again if I'm in Kagoshima again.

Miinukset: Nothing that I didn't like.

Plussat: Clean, cheap.

Miinukset: Far from middle of city(suitable for who rent car) . Limit parking, I'm back to hotel around 21.00, no parking (parking building beside hotel). Staff offer me for another parking(5min drive) but I'd a lot of luggage, then I need to wait 30 min till someone drive off.

Plussat: The staff friendly and call for a taxi in the morning. The room with big massage chair.

Miinukset: The location bit far from JR station. Needs to take a taxi about 8 mins.

Plussat: A short walk from a convenience store (7/11) and if you drive down the main street, there are many restaurants and shopping places to check out. There's also complimentary parking in the parking complex next to the hotel, which is a great benefit to us. Staff were also very friendly and helpful and very quick with email responses.

Miinukset: A car would be best for getting around this area but it's an otherwise good place to stay.

Plussat: A more than above business hotel located in a quiet new area. There is sea view from our room. It is near the express way junction and suitable for guests arrive from or go to KOJ airport with a choice to avoid traffic congestion in the town.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Central location with parking available. Copious breakfast, friendly and obliging front desk staff.

Miinukset: Nothing specific to dislike. Room was a little cramped but typical of Japanese hotels in this price bracket and clearly stated in online description.

Plussat: Staff was very friendly. An arrangement was made so that I could leave a piece of luggage for several days after my stay and come back to fetch it later. Clean and relatively large public bath. Rooms are a bit larger than in a typical business hotel. Breakfast was very good with regional ingredients not found outside of the prefecture. Located next to a tram station leading to the main train station or the harbour. Very good value.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Good location
