3-Star Hotels in Kagoshima City

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.

Think Toyoko Inn is the gold standard for all budget hotels in Japan, or even all over the world. The room is small but enough to accommodate 2 persons comfortably. Have everything that a traveller needs, Provided breakfast with coffee in the morning and left luggage facilities. Best !

Slightly dated hotel but very value for money; Hotel staff were very helpful and professional; Room has proper desk to work with (and LAN port); Room wifi was okay; Has a decent public bath; Location is a 10minute walk down the road from the busy tenmonkan street where all the food and activities happen (or 1 tram stop away); It’s also 3 tram stops away from main train station kagoshimachuo. Located at the intersection of 2 tram lines, which can be convenient when getting back to the hotel (just need to get the tram direction correct)

It’s only a 6-minute walk from Kagoshimachuo Station! I stayed in the Tatami Room which can be relatively small for people with big luggages. Like other hostels, the toilets, shower rooms, and common space are shared among the floor. However, I do find the shower area a little small. Many of us wouldn’t enter the shower area if somebody was using the sink because the sink was right in front of one shower cubicle HAHAHA. And yes, there’s only one sink in the common shower area. I would recommend this place if you are doing a short stay in Kagoshima because there’s lots of shops and restaurants around the area! By the way, it’s located along the same lane as the famous “tonkatsu kawakyu とんかつ川久”. Please try it because it’s the best tonkatsu I’ve ever eaten!

The hotel is located in the Planetarium area, with an airport bus stop directly diagonally opposite. It's also just over a 10-minute walk to South Pier. Our twin room was a decent size, with enough space to open two 28-inch suitcases. The room offered a good view, but unfortunately, the windows don't open. In the bathroom, the water pressure was strong and the drain worked well, but the water temperature was a bit hard to adjust, fluctuating between hot and cold. There's a lip into the bathroom that felt a bit wobbly, so care is needed when stepping on it. The bathtub's material and design weren't ideal, which older guests should particularly note. The surrounding area offers plenty of shopping and dining options. Sukiya is right next door, and there's a well-established unagi (eel rice) restaurant nearby that serves delicious food. The hotel's cleanliness was alright, but I did find some hair. It seems the standards aren't quite comparable to what they were years ago when local staff were responsible for room upkeep, a difference perhaps influenced by the increasing presence of foreign workers in many cities. The front desk is on the second floor, and most services are semi-self-service, with self-service luggage lockers available.

Good size room and set up for a night stay to a week. Good location. Check in was very hard as we received no email and had to wait for another guest to let us in the front entrance and then check in was at a tablet with video calls to a call centre. There were 4 different guests trying to check in at the same time all with issues. Car parking is pay at public however we found a carpark building within 2min car ride that charged on 1500y for up to 50h. Once check in a good place to stay.

the view outside window from my room!! very good location and its super clean! love it alot

The location was fantastic! It was right near Kagoshima Chuo Station, and I could even walk to Tenmonkan! There were lots of bars and pubs nearby, which was fun! 🥰 The staff were generally good, but the woman who checked me in seemed a bit upset, almost as if she was angry about something I'd done. It was a little disappointing. 😿 The retro-style interior was interesting!

The hotel is about a 3-4 minute walk from Takamibashi Station on the Kagoshima City Tram in Kagoshima City. It's also close to Kagoshima Chuo Station, making it convenient for dining and shopping. While the building itself is old, there's a water server and coffee machine behind the front desk that guests can use free of charge. Amenities, with the exception of toothbrushes, were chosen from a table next to the front desk and taken to go. There were a few inconvenient points, rather than issues that bothered me. Luggage cannot be stored here before check-in. You must store your luggage at the affiliated Hotel Taisei Annex, located a 3-4 minute walk away. The front desk is also closed in the morning, so you must take your luggage to Hotel Taisei Annex. This may be unavoidable in order to cut labor costs, but as a guest, I found it inconvenient when encountering rain or strong winds. The room itself has a workspace for working on a laptop. However, the Wi-Fi environment was poor, with frequent disconnections and timeouts making it unusable. These are areas that could be improved. Concerns The shower water pressure was fine, but the stop positions for the shower and faucet were a bit awkward, so when I came home from outside and went to the bathroom, the water was still running. The faucet switch would be fine if it was tight, but it was loose no matter which way I turned it, making it difficult to adjust. I think repairs are necessary to prevent the water from running continuously. The walls were thin, and I could hear the escort next door, so I couldn't sleep. The front desk staff were very helpful and explained any questions I had clearly. Prices vary greatly depending on when you book, but I might use it again if it's cheaper.

In addition to being cheap, this hotel is very hygienic, and you can see the Sakurajima volcano, and it is very close to the Kagoshima high-speed boat pier. This pier has an airport bus to Kagoshima Airport.
