Staying at this hotel was a mix of good and not-so-great experiences. The rooms, while a bit tired with a slight smell, were spacious and offered good value for money despite their dated look. The service, especially at the carpark and main entrance, was really nice and the staff went out of their way to be helpful. The location next to the ferry terminal was convenient for trips to Yakushima Island, but a bit out of the way from the main shopping and entertainment areas. The dining options were a bit below average, although the homemade bread was a highlight. Overall, the facilities provided were decent, with room for improvement in certain areas.

The hotel offers a fantastic view of the volcano from its rooms, but there was a slight cigarette smoke smell even in the non-smoking rooms. The service was extremely helpful, and the staff was always friendly and welcoming. The location, while not in the main CBD, is easily accessible via public transport and close to the airport. Dining options were varied, with some highlights in neighboring restaurants. A great spot for relaxation and sightseeing.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were fairly spacious but a bit dated, with a view across to the active volcano, which was breathtaking. However, the room decor seemed tired, and there was a slight smell lingering. The service had its ups and downs, with some staff members advising on transportation options and even providing an upgrade for being a loyalty member, but others were hesitant English speakers and not very helpful. The location was convenient for me, as it was close to the ferry terminal for trips to Yakushima Island but a bit far from the central business district. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a good variety of dishes but some staff members lacking in friendliness. Overall, the hotel has its strengths and weaknesses.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative aspects. The room I stayed in was spacious and offered a great view of the bay and Sakurajima, but there was a noticeable smell of cigarette smoke in what was supposed to be a non-smoking room. The staff were attentive and polite, but their English skills were lacking, which made communication a bit challenging. The location was convenient, being right next to the ferry terminal for trips to Yakushima Island, but it was a bit far from the city center. The dining experience was enjoyable with a variety of Japanese and non-Japanese breakfast items. The facilities were satisfactory overall, although there were some minor issues. Pricing seemed reasonable for what was offered, but there were a few areas that could use improvement.

I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The room was clean, spacious, and offered an amazing view of Sakurajima volcano. The service was top-notch, and the staff even provided me with an upgrade for being a Best Western Diamond member. However, the location required a 30-minute bus ride to central Kagoshima, which was a bit inconvenient. The dining experience was excellent, especially the Japanese and non-Japanese breakfast options. The facilities were great, and overall, it was a wonderful experience.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms above the beer garden, which are spacious but slightly dated. The service, while a bit rough at the reception desk, was kind and helpful, especially in guiding us to free WiFi spots. The location, though a bit far from main attractions, allows for enjoying a sunrise from the balcony and easy accessibility via public transport. The dining experience, while below average, still offers decent options. Overall, it's a good value for money choice with some minor drawbacks.
