Daiwa Roynet Hotel Kagoshima Tenmonkan PREMIER

"Traveling with family, I specifically booked a non-smoking room, even though the room description indicated it was a smoking room. I made sure to add a note requesting a non-smoking room because we have young children. However, upon check-in, I was told only smoking rooms were available due to the May Day holiday, and they couldn't accommodate our request. We had no choice but to check in. As soon as I opened the door, the smell of smoke was overwhelming. I immediately contacted Trip.com for assistance, but they said there were no non-smoking rooms available. They did offer to deodorize the room, but it would require us to vacate for three hours. We stayed for two nights, and we couldn't even close the windows to air it out. This is my first time in Japan being assigned a smoking room with no alternative or compensation. Very disappointed."

Hotel Fukiageso

"The location is fantastic! It's very convenient for visiting Shiroyama Observatory, Terukuni Shrine, the planetarium, Kagoshima Castle, and Sakurajima. The surrounding area is also very quiet, so you won't be disturbed at night. The hotel staff are very friendly and help make your beds every day. So I booked 3 nights for this short trip. I would definitely stay here again if I come to Kagoshima next time. Highly recommended for those who like Japanese-style houses."
