Cari Hotel Cheap di Kagoshima

"Everything from the room, the spa, breakfast and the surrounding area was good. The city view and sakurajima view were stunning. There’s a shuttle going to and from downtown. The checkin experience was no good - long queue and not clear to foreigners."

"Took the twin room and it was sooooo spacious and comfortable. Had a great sleep every night. Room was conducively dark. Bathroom size was great too. Awesome location in the tenmokan area. Finally agree with the other reviews that hotel parking (found at the back) is expensive. Plenty of other parking spaces that have a better rate elsewhere. Just “shop” around for one."

"Art Hotel Kagoshima offers a very positive stay overall, largely thanks to its outstanding staff, who consistently went out of their way to assist and make guests feel welcome. I strongly recommend requesting a room with a view of Sakurajima—one of Japan’s most active volcanoes—as waking up to this dramatic landscape is truly priceless. The hotel’s location is also very convenient, with easy access to nearby bus routes. While the rooms are comfortable, the building is clearly dated and would benefit from significant renovations to better match the quality of service."

"Hotel is well positioned, just directly opposite JR station and is well connected to underground shopping and malls and restaurants. It’s very convenient with family marts around the hotel too. A bit old and certainly need some maintenance. Not all hotel staff speak English language but they attempt to help as much as they can. Hotel only provides basic amenities like towels and pyjamas and only does housekeeping on consecutive days. Guess this is the new way in Japan on sustainability."

"Not the best location but close enough to train station, shopping mall and eateries. Bathroom was a little small but the washer/dryer in the room made all the difference. The bed was comfortable, room was clean and spacious by Japan’s standards. No frills but had pretty much everything needed for a comfortable stay. Reception was very helpful in helping with bookings."

"Recently stayed at JR Kyushu Hotel Kagoshima and really enjoyed the stay. The location is unbeatable, it is directly connected to Kagoshima-Chuo Station, with an entrance right after exiting the Shinkansen or local train gates. The room was surprisingly spacious. We could open two large suitcases, one medium, and two cabin bags at the same time and still have space to move around comfortably, which is quite rare for hotels in Japan. The hotel is also next to AMU Plaza Kagoshima, so there are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Overall, a very convenient hotel and a great choice for travelers visiting Kagoshima."

"This place seemed great at first sight, the room and the bathtub are spacious (mine was a double room and I was solo). There's blue light at the lift that creates an ambiance. But the onsen is really poorly organized - it's one pool with nowhere to rest your head and relax - the mist sauna was not available. And I felt very upset that they have welcome drinks on the 13 floor and nobody told me anything... I've learned because I was checking until what time the onsen was open at the paper they give at check in and saw the small info. When I went upstairs was already more than 6 ( it's only until 6) and the guy told me it was not available anymore and I should go downstairs. But I could see there were some other teas that were not downstairs... In fact I had one in my hand and he made me return it. I went downstairs to complain and the woman at reception went up and brought me one tea already prepared, because it needs a special machine... But I wanted to have one for me and not only one already prepared ..(i actually threw it away 🥺 after talking to that rude man I would not take a tea that he prepared and I didn't see) In general this was very unprofessional that information was not given, the man saying I could not take anything, and her taking a long time to return with a prepared tea that I didn't want at that moment. Breakfast was good, could have hot chocolate instead of coffee.."

"Good location,within walking distance to jet foil port to Yakushima. Not far from bus stop from Kagoshima airport.  Very nice service from Hotel staffs, we came early(10am) and left our bags at the hotel, at check in time (3pm) they’ve already brought all our bags to the room.  Standard size of Japanese hotel with all amenities you need. Comfy bed."

"If you're driving, the parking lot that the hotel has a special discount with is a 10 minute walk. There is nowhere to stop in front of the hotel, so it's better to park first."

"It's right in front of the tram line, so transportation is convenient (there are not enough taxis in Kagoshima). The rooms are clean. The hot springs are great."
