ART HOTEL Kagoshima

We were on the 10th floor looking toward Sakarajima Island. Wonderful view watching the ferrys come and go. Great breakfast and lunch buffet. Also, a high end Japanese restaurant. Lots of izakayas in walking distance. Ferry to the island is a 2000 yen cab ride. Comfortable beds spacious room.

To get the views, I paid an extra 2000 yen.

We stayed there 3 times already. We like the view from the window and spaciousness of the rooms. Convenience stores in front of the hotel. It takes 20-40 mins to get to the middle of city by bus (depends on the bus routes). Overall very good!

Pool doesn't open until July, But hot tub is open until 10 pm. Recommend breakfast. It was great.

Everything was perfect!

Overall, it was a good stay. Room was fairly clean, but some furnitures were a bit dusty. The view from the balcony was simply amazing and the laundromat was easy to find, convenient and not pricey. Some members of the staff were kind and helpful whereas others seem to hate their jobs. Would recommend for a short stay on a budget.

Excellent view of Sakurajima, room comes with a nice balcony, quiet environment, nice hot spa downstairs.

All is absolutely 👍

Great view of Sakurajima! Great price and value.

The worst hotel I stayed at in Japan. This hotel is extremely old, using a central air conditioning system, and you are not allowed to adjust the temperature in your room. During my stay, I had only two options: either turn on the air-conditioning system and endure an uncomfortably warm room temperature, or turn it off and open the balcony door to let in natural air, along with some smoke from other customers smoking on their balconies. In the end, the receptionist could do nothing but lend us two fans. This was the first time I stayed in a room with "air-conditioning" stated on their website, yet I could only use two fans for my two-night stay. Please avoid this hotel, as I believe there are much better options in this area.

The room comes with the view of Sakurajima volcano, facing the sea which is good. However, we were not able to open the balcony door due to a hotel notice stating that there are bugs known as "stinky bugs" that are flying around the area. Air conditioner in the room is weak. Beds are still comfortable. Parking is convenient with a fee of 1000yen per night. There is a 7-eleven and family mart located opposite the hotel and about 5 mins drive to a 24hours supermarket. Overall hotel experience is average however Kagoshima is a nice city.

Nice sakurashima view at balcony

Beautiful harbour view! Clean and spacious room.

Amazing view and great price

The hotel is a bit far from the city center and there aren’t a lot of public transportation options, but the staff was helpful in getting a taxi for us each time we went out to the city, and the taxi ride was only 10-15 minutes depending on where we went. We had a beautiful view of Sakurajima from our room and the room had 3 beds and a rollaway, perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids. We had dinner at the Japanese restaurant Minato (not the teppanyaki but the Japanese food side) and it was a wonderful experience! We got a private room and the food was delicious, and the price was very reasonable. We would recommend this hotel to families that need multiple beds and to those who want to be a little farther away in a quiet area, with a great view.

It is close to the coastline and Sakurajima can be seen from the window.

English speaking staff; view of bay and Sakurajima from my room was unbelievable; location a little far from points of interest and train station, but location and view made up for it.

It is very comfortable and relax. I will star a next time. Thanks.

Great view of Sakurajima from the room. Friendly staff overall. Room/toilet and bath were dated overall. Room we stayed in did not smell good. Good buffet breakfast.
