Sumiyoshicho Hotels, Kagoshima

"A great place to stay. Straight across from the train station and surrounded by hundreds of shops and restaurants. Tram and bus stops right outside, so it is very convenient for sightseeing. Great view of Sakurajima from the lobby window. Room was smallish but functional and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful with any requests. Another one I will definitely return to ."

"Most beautiful view for an onsen that we’ve been to in Japan so far. The free town shuttles are to and from the bus / train station + 2 other downtown locations are frequent and convenient. The hotel amenities are great with so many options, a Family Mart and bakery on the premises"

"Breakfast menu was quite good and fresh. Parking lot is a bit far, so a little inconvenient."

"Good location in tenmonkan, close to shops and restaurants. Had everything I needed"

"Clean and convenient but noisy. The sounds from the street outside as well as other guests walking up the stairs and talking at night woke us up a few times. The walls are very thin. The porch was nice. Bed was not the most comfortable but not the worst. "

"Great location right next to Kagoshima-Chuo Station, very convenient and clean hotel with polite staff. However, the full-size bed was quite uncomfortable—the mattress felt uneven and not level, which made it hard to sleep well. Good for location, but bedding needs improvement."

"Best hotel location I’ve experienced in a while near traditional food shops, great shopping and authentic restaurants. "

"Beautiful breakfast!"

"The staff was outstanding, very polite and professional. Hotel was very close to the train station and shopping areas."
