Hotell med 3-stjärniga i Kagoshima prefektur, Japan

Let's start with the pros. This hotel is basically joined to the JR Kyushu Shinkasen / Kagoshimachuo station which is joined to the AMU Plaza shopping mall and it also has a tram stop right outside the mall (Kagoshima-chuo eki mae tram stop). So in terms of location I think this hotel ticks all the boxes. The lady at the front counter who was checking me was very friendly, however, we both had to use a translator to communicate 😂 . I believe that is it for the pros. Moving on to the cons. This hotel is starting to show its age (and not in a good way). The room was small, the bathroom is vintage, it felt dewy and it gave me an allergy attack. The 3 gripes I had: 1) The fix AC near the ceiling was blowing directly onto the bed which was really uncomfortable. I believe this contributed to my allergy flare-up. 2) The bed and the pillow was not very comfortable. I did not sleep well for the couple of nights. Or it could've just been the AC. 3) The hotel didn't offer any bottled waters. I would rather they take away the cheap plastic toothbrush and comb and offer the bottled waters instead.

The hotel is about 5-10 mins from Kagoshima station. The room is equipped with well facilities and is located in the shopping area.

Very strategic location in the middle of Tenmonkan, and in walking distance to Kagoshima chuo station. The hotel provided great service with diverse and personalized amenities - bath salt, toiletries, etc. Every day at 8 -8.30 pm, the hotel provides simple rice with curry for all guests.

Very well located near everything. We could walk to the water front, buy food till midnight in the neighbourhood. The clothes freshener was very convenient. 12th floor had ice and water dispensers, vending machines and a public bath. The included breakfast coud serve as our lunch. Overall we loved our stay.

Very central location in Kagoshima city, with the shopping belt 5mins walk away. For those who take the airpot express bus from Kagoshima airport, alighting at Tenmonkan station is just 5mins walk away from the hotel. Hotel room is neatly furnished, rooms and clean and comfortable. Daily necessities like shavers, toothbrushes, cleansing foam, etc is available at a self service counter next to the lift.

可能是種子島上最好的酒店了。粉色外觀非常亮眼。房間窗外望去便是一望無垠的太平洋以及大象飲水巨石，酒店晚餐意外的好吃，早餐則是自助，衞生狀況比想象中好。酒店的避世感很好，位於種子島南邊，除了海浪聲非常安靜，晚上去沙灘邊走走看看星空很有感覺。

We had an amazing stay at this hotel and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The value for money is outstanding—everything you get here easily exceeds the price. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very pleasant to stay in, making it a great place to relax after a long day. The service was exceptional. The staff were always willing to help with anything we needed, no matter what it was, and they were consistently super kind, polite, and welcoming. You can really feel that they care about the guests. The location is perfect, with a bus stop right outside the hotel, making it very easy to get anywhere in the city quickly and efficiently. Overall, a fantastic stay—highly recommended!

The room is well equipped, clean and new. It is spacious. No reception in the hotel. But the hotel did not send me self check-in information e.g. entrance access code. Luckily, somebody went out from the hotel when I arrived. Otherwise, I could not get in. There is a iPad on the 1st floor lobby for self check-in. I could then complete the self check-in. I would say the hotel provide a perfect stay if they sent me the self check-in information in advance.

My second stay at Quintessa. This time, it was a last min booking. The room, as with all Jap hotels, is small. Difficult for a clam-shell luggage. But it will be manageable if you packed well. Location is good - near to the airport limousine bus bus-stop, near to eateries, cafe, LOFT, MUJI, DON DONKI etc.

The room and the bed were a bit small for us, but the in room bathtub at the terrace was a plus and a rare find at this price. However, there was constantly some smell in the bathroom (probably due to the shower curtain being always damp) and you could see dust visibly accumulated and stains on the wall next to the bed.
