Kagoshima City Hotels with balcony

The Kagoshima Sun Royal Hotel seems to be an older establishment, and most of its guests are Japanese seniors, which suggests it's quite popular among locals. There's a bus service connecting the hotel to Kagoshima-Chuo Station and Tenmonkan, but it's less frequent in the evenings. If you're heading back to the hotel from Tenmonkan or Kagoshima-Chuo Station at night, you'll need to plan your public transport carefully. The hotel boasts an open-air observation hot spring on the 12th floor. While not large, it's very clean and never feels crowded, even with many people using it. It also has bubble baths, a sauna, and other complete facilities. The breakfast was incredibly impressive; alongside a rich variety, it featured local Kagoshima specialties like Amami chicken rice and a generous selection of fresh fruits, such as watermelon. Overall, the hotel's location is a bit secluded, but this is offset by the convenient shuttle bus. The rooms are a good size and very clean, and the service is excellent. With its distinctive hot spring and abundant breakfast, it's definitely worth staying at.

It's an old hotel, and the wooden furniture in the room is worn out. The front desk staff were very polite, but... the funniest part was the buffet restaurant. In all my travels to Japan, this is the first time I've encountered such an unfriendly attitude. I saw from the original description that it was meant to serve Chinese guests, but a young, thin staff member in the restaurant actually said they don't serve Chinese people (and with a very bad attitude). Even when I asked the front desk to intervene, it was useless. I don't know what Trip.com's legal team is doing; they just said there's no evidence. Anyway, I advise everyone to avoid this hotel. It's a shame the polite front desk staff were wasted. Although they apologized repeatedly when I checked out, the bad impression won't disappear. If you absolutely have to stay at this hotel, choose the Kaiun Japanese restaurant for dining; they are much more polite.

The freestyle atmosphere was impressive, and I felt it was a comfortable and affordable place for both foreigners and Japanese people to stay. The building is spacious, and the noise isn't too noticeable. However, it can be heard when you want to, which is one of the joys of a guesthouse. Check-in is on the third floor, and there is a computer at the reception, so you can check in yourself. The staff's phone numbers are also available in case of any emergencies. Most of the staff are foreigners, but they were very polite and I felt at ease while staying there.

Because there were many luggage, it was difficult to be a staircase, but the bed was large and I was able to spend comfortably.
