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.

A great location right next to the airport bus station and near to the JR station.Many shops and restaurants are also close by.
Our room had a superb view of Sakura-san volcano which puffed a bit as we were flying in but was quiet for our stay
Our only problem was with the limited space for opening our suitcases though we thought the overall room size was reasonable. The layout made that dufficult.
Would stay there again.
