3-Star Hotels in Kagoshima City

Richmond hotel was located opposite a big department store, with easy access to bus and trams. A combini is just opposite the hotel. They have a wider range of personal amenities to pick at the lobby. They have 3 machines to handle checkout, exchange currency (e.g. 1000¥ to 100¥ coins for laundry machines on 6th floor, or break 10,000¥ to smaller notes). The machines also accept your hotel parking charges. When it was raining, hotel provided full size umbrellas for use, without deposit or giving room numbers, which is very convenient. It has a car park with limited lots, so if you can secure one ,it will be very easy to unload and load your bags. Costs 2400¥ for 2 nights of parking. Main place for food is closer to Tenmonkan area, which is walkable.

This hotel was great because I could walk to it from Kagoshima-Chuo Station through a covered arcade, so I didn't get wet on a rainy day. The room was spacious, and I could comfortably leave my suitcase open without feeling cramped. It was also very helpful that they kindly stored my luggage both before check-in and after check-out. The 11 AM check-out time was a nice bonus. The only downside was that the mini-fridge was tucked completely under the room's table, making it awkward to sit down comfortably as my legs kept bumping into it. The chair was also a foldable type, so while I wanted to do some computer work, it wasn't feasible for long periods. This might not be the best choice for business travelers.

I was impressed by the friendly staff, all of whom had the biggest smiles. Kagoshima Chuo Station is about a 20-minute walk away, straight along the main street in front of the hotel. The breakfast buffet featured a wide variety of local Kagoshima ingredients and traditional dishes, as well as a wide selection of sweets, making it a delightful experience from the start of the day.

Nice room with the view of sakurajima island in some room direction. Room is nice and good for the price. Only drawback is although close to Kagoshima station, it’s a quite location and you need to walk 5 mins to convenient stores. Restaurant is also limited and close early.

Room a little too small, but smack in the middle of Kumamoto. Had the pleasure of witnessing the Ohara festival during our tripl.

Make sure to book Banvina Coffee in advance, otherwise you might end up like me, walking to the back door thinking it was closed. If you want a convenient location, this is definitely the place. It's very close to the central station, less than a 10-minute walk. The café downstairs has great taste; hotel guests get a free coffee every day, which is fantastic! The receptionist, although her English wasn't very good, was very cute ☺️ She even turned on the lights and air conditioning before check-in. The hotel is really generous. The environment looks quite clean overall. I would definitely choose this place again if I have the chance to go to Kagoshima again.

We struck gold with this one. Amazing location, right by the main bus station and very near the Chuo train station. Super clean, comfortable and it has luggage storage that can be used for free for gusts who come too early or have extra time to explore after checking out.

The hotel is located near restaurants and drug stores in Tenmonkan, and there is a convenience store below the hotel, which was great. Breakfast includes toast, coffee, and yogurt, and we were able to get to the Kagoshima Aquarium Io World by car right next to the hotel.

Even though this is an old hotel and it shows in its facilities and overall design, the service and amenities you get as a solo traveller is worth thw price you pay for an overnight stay. The room is clean albeit small but sufficient. Some points to take note if you're planning to book: This is close to the central station so it's juat a block away from major shopping and transport options. The hotel closes its front desk and doors at 11 pm to 7 am. Checkin before 11 pm. Going in and out of the hotel at that time is possible if you use your key card to open the front doors. Walls are thin and it's very possible that you would hear your neighbor. There's free coffee and drinks at the lobby.

Check-out was at 12 o'clock, so I was able to relax. Thank you. It was close to Tenmonkan, so it was very safe and convenient to go drinking and eating. Next time, I'd like to shop at Donki and use the kitchen.
