Old Hotel, 70s and not renovated,
low price has a reason.
The onsen in pictures and pool were dirty green algae water!
Breakfast was standard Japanese
Parking on premises available
Location not central and hard to reach near the port.

The room could’ve done with a better clean. The bathroom has signs of age including mould and it was very small. The glass doors leading to the balcony were covered in smears, annd there was no coffee or creamer in the room just t bags. Other than that the room was fine. Just fine. Average.

The worst hotel I stayed at in Japan.

The worst hotel I stayed at in Japan.

This hotel is extremely old, using a central air conditioning system, and you are not allowed to adjust the temperature in your room. During my stay, I had only two options: either turn on the air-conditioning system and endure an uncomfortably warm room temperature, or turn it off and open the balcony door to let in natural air, along with some smoke from other customers smoking on their balconies.

In the end, the receptionist could do nothing but lend us two fans. This was the first time I stayed in a room with \"air-conditioning\" stated on their website, yet I could only use two fans for my two-night stay.

Please avoid this hotel, as I believe there are much better options in this area.

The room comes with the view of Sakurajima volcano, facing the sea which is good. However, we were not able to open the balcony door due to a hotel notice stating that there are bugs known as \"stinky bugs\" that are flying around the area. Air conditioner in the room is weak. Beds are still comfortable. Parking is convenient with a fee of 1000yen per night. There is a 7-eleven and family mart located opposite the hotel and about 5 mins drive to a 24hours supermarket. Overall hotel experience is average however Kagoshima is a nice city.

The hotel is a bit far from the city center and there aren’t a lot of public transportation options, but the staff was helpful in getting a taxi for us each time we went out to the city, and the taxi ride was only 10-15 minutes depending on where we went. We had a beautiful view of Sakurajima from our room and the room had 3 beds and a rollaway, perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids. We had dinner at the Japanese restaurant Minato (not the teppanyaki but the Japanese food side) and it was a wonderful experience! We got a private room and the food was delicious, and the price was very reasonable. We would recommend this hotel to families that need multiple beds and to those who want to be a little farther away in a quiet area, with a great view.

The hotel was very difficult to get to. It is not located near subway or tram lines. On the map it appeared walkable, but took over an hour in the hot sun to arrive. The hotel is dated and in poor condition. My room had no running water in the sink. The pool access was one of t main reasons for wanting to stay, but they closed the pool at 5:30 due to corona. Since I arrived after then I had no chance to use it.

Worth a stay if you can get over the room temp

This hotel has an amazing, unobstructed view of Sakurajima which is the best part about it. The price was very reasonable and we chose to stay here because they were the only property in Kagoshima city with a pool. Unfortunately the pool and onsen were both closed because of COVID-19. The hotel is a well-appointed peak-Japan bubble hotel, probably opened in the late 1980's or early 1990's. That being said the biggest issue was that one cannot control the room temperature. The hallways in the hotel were very hot. The rooms were right at the cusp of being too warm. The staff offered a fan, which did help. I imagine if the hotel was doing better business they might be more willing to cool the hotel. I understand all businesses depending on travelers right now are suffering. I wish them the best of luck and would stay again.

Wir hatten zwei Doppelzimmer mit Verbindungstür im 12. Stock mit Balkon und traumhaften Blick auf den Sakurajima. Die Zimmer waren sehr groß, die 4 Einzelbetten ebenfalls großzügig und sehr bequem. Es hab zwei Bäder, die funktional und sauber waren.
Das Frühstücksbuffet war auch gut, wenn auch viel mit Fleisch oder Fisch.
Es gab einen Outdoor Onsen, den man ab Abend privat nach vorheriger Reservierung nutzen konnte. Wir haben ihn morgens ohne Reservierung genutzt. Der Onsen war ok, das Wasser war sehr heiß und man musste bereits in Badekleidung umgezogen durch den Frühstücksbereich gehen. Außen waren die Umkleiden und Toiletten nicht in Betrieb, da der normale Pool nicht in Betrieb war. Der ganze Bereich mit Pool und Onsen wirkte etwas verwahrlost. Ich schätze, das ist im Sommer anders. Es war aber toll, dass wir den Onsen nutzen konnten.
