Art Hotel Kagoshima

The hotel is wonderful. Our window had such good view for the volcano. Every day cleaning and breakfast made our journey become much better. There is a store near the hotel.

Was upgraded from single bed to a large room with a sea view. It has a little balcony and was a great value. I could tell meals in the restaurant would be fabulous but too expensive for me. There are outdoor hot and warm pools but you have to change in your room and although there is a sort of back way in, it is not completely private as some rooms look down on it so may be expected to wear swimwear. The swimming pool is closed except for July and August.

Good breakfast but so crowded due to tour group.

Hotel may not be the newest, location is superb. The room offers a beautiful view of Sakurajima volcano. Having a convenience store right across the street adds to the convenience. Indoor parking is available, but spaces are limited, so arriving late may result in difficulty finding a spot.

My brother and I had some airport issue that caused us to arrive at the hotel separately, but the hotel staff were very understanding and helped us out. Thanks a lot to the Art Hotel!

For driver, do note that the parking is chargeable at 1000yen per day at the designated parking areas operated by the hotel. The staff supporting the parking area was absolutely helpful, he ran over in his umbrella during rainy day to inform on the slot that was just freed up for parking and directed us to the parking lot. The hot spring is not recommended as there is only outdoor option and the place is open and poorly maintained with only plastic chairs and wooden divider. bathing suit is needed and chargeable at 500yen if borrow from the hotel. No bath robe was provided and no changing room at the place where hot spring is provided.
