"Beautifully maintained property. My room had an excellent view. The shops on the 1st floor were enjoyable to visit. I would be happy to stay here again."
"A very simple hotel that focuses on doing a few things well. Its close proximity to Kagoshima station is perfect for anyone sightseeing the area. My room gave a beautiful view of Kagoshima station and the vibrant Ferris wheel."
"As the name suggests, the hotel is literally seconds from the station. As such, you are close to many restaurants and shops. As it was extremely hot during our stay, it was a big plus being able to navigate to the different restaurants and shops without having to leave the comfort of air conditioning during the hottest parts of the day.
We would highly recommend this hotel for its cleanliness, the friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff and its great location.
We will definitely be staying...
"Hotel was clean and staff were friendly. However, decor in the room was rather dated/tired. However, it was reasonable value for money, given I stayed during the height of Golden Week."
"The room could have been cleaner, particularly the bathroom. We had no view but stayed for two nights so it wasn’t a massive problem. Not great amount of space but any longer stay than 2 days would have been a bit tight. Bed and the pillows were very comfortable. Check in and check out fairly quick. "
