The hotel is fine and in a great location. The room was too small for my husband and I to be comfortable in together. We moved to the Sheraton allowing each of our adult children to have their own room at the Solaria.

Usually the hotels in Japan is very small, and I expected that. However, one thing that astound me is that when I didn't select if I want a non-smoking room, which is usually a no brainer in the States, I got assigned to a smoking room automatically. I was trying to get a replacement for non-smoking room, but the clerks were not helpful. They didn't even try but just say, I am sorry.

I ve stayed here before. I picked it because of its location in case of rain. The bus station pick up for KOJ (¥1500) is downstairs, great Indoor Yatai stalls downstairs (go to the sushi bar #6 and get tamagoyaki - absolutely excellent dashi), easy walk to the trolley, JR Station, and major malls.

The front desk staff is excellent. Very knowledgeable, efficient, and helpful. Oh...and for those that care, diverse.

I typically like to write more about the extra things staff does to help. They went out of their way to accommodate my cousin whose phone stopped working.and they helped her. She couldn't get her pockettalk working...they helped her. Just to be able to ask someone for help is great. Other places just push people off by saying sorry. This place rocks.

Our visit was short and sweet. We'll be back!

A must place to stay if visiting Kagoshima needing easy access to train station, trams to get around the city and the airport bus. Just across the road from Kagoshima-Chou station, with underground access and above road covered walkway if raining.
Best way to get to/from airport is with the airport bus for a 40 min ride. The hotel is in the same building as the bus, with exceptionally easy access. No problems with noise or security as rooms start on level 8. Reception is on level 7 with card access to floors with rooms.

Rooms are clean and comfortable. Definitely a must to book a room with Sakurajima view, as sunrise views are must see with a smouldering volcano. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again on next visit to Kagoshima.

It is located across from the Kagoshima-chuo station. Instead of crossing the busy streets, make your way to level B1 and take the underground tunnel walkway to hotel, exit D. If you are looking to get to Kagoshima Airport from the hotel, the Airport bus stop is on level 1 and door is to your right as you exit the elevator. Hotel is basic with a simple breakfast but the convenient location makes it a very good stay. If looking to do laundry at the hotel, make sure there is soap in the washer as the signs claim there is. Our washers did not dispense soap.

Get the room with the volcanic view, it is worth it! That and the location were unbeatable! Once arrived at the station, you can go through AMU plaza to walk underground via B1 to then take the elevator up to the reception on the 7th. Our initial impression of the hotel was negative - we arrived at 2:38 p.m. just to be told by the staff that check-in is at 3 p.m. we understand the check-in time is strictly enforced throughout Japan, a hotel, however, can distinguish itself by offering check-in when it is within 30 mins of check-in time if you see that the customers were arriving with heavy backpacks and that the room is available.

The room was on the smaller side (as expected), but it somehow offered a small seating area and a round table if you have to work on your laptop. It would have been nice if there were shelves to place items along the bed wall. Outlet plugs were located on the same area, so be sure to bring one with longer cords. I did appreciate having a water refill machine on each floor as I refrain from using plastic bottles. The amenities in the bathroom were limited compared to Osaka & Hiroshima (no face moisturizer or lotion). Housekeeping is offered on the 3rd day only, but new towels and tea bags were provided daily. The location was fantastic being located right across from the Kagoshima station, in addition, it is connected directly to two underground food courts and there was a Lawson in the same building. Oh and you get 10% for dining at the food courts

Great location, but I would not stay here again

Great location, nice facility. Three things which diminished my enjoyment: when I thought I lost my hotel plastic card key, they were going to charge me 1000 yen to replace it (cost is around 100 yen); when I asked for a noon checkout they informed me that would cost an extra 2200 yen. And when I returned to my room each evening it was uncomfortably warn, they turned off the aircon while I was out, took an hour or so to restore to my desired temp.

I would not stay at this hotel again.
