Located in the center of Kagoshima, this hotel offers a tranquil and comfortable escape. You'll find the rooms spotlessly clean and the staff exceptionally kind. The area is also packed with fantastic restaurants. I highly recommend it.

All was great but the most important part and the reason we booked this hotel was the prior/onsen. When we checked in and stayed for 3 days the facility was closed and hopping they would compensate us by sending us to a local onsen on their expenses. They should have a back up plan if these unforeseen events occur. I gave them 3 stars over all.

1人で2泊滞在でしたが、ダブルベットとトイレ・バス別(バスは洗い場と深い浴槽付き)でとても寛げるお部屋でした。 広い大浴場やジムスペースもあり、ランドリーも4台あったので、すべて快適でした。 天文館のあたりはすべて徒歩で行けますし、バス停や市電乗り場も近く、どこへ行くにも困りませんでした。

Le Rooftop était fermé et les bains étaient également fermés. Nous avions sélectionné cet hôtel pour ces 2 services qui n’étaient malheureusement pas disponible. Une insonorisation, nous entendions les tv des chambres voisines ainsi que les passages. Autrement tout était top, localisation, chambres et parties communes.
