Guest UserThe hotel is centrally located near Tenmonkan shopping area, around 2-3 bus stops away from Kagoshima-Chuo station. (May take a while to walk)
The room is comfortable and clean, and room space is surprisingly decent for 2 ppl with opened luggage.
Wifi signal is not the strongest but acceptable.
There's also public onsen available which is good

Seng Hock ChangRichmond hotel was located opposite a big department store, with easy access to bus and trams. A combini is just opposite the hotel.
They have a wider range of personal amenities to pick at the lobby. They have 3 machines to handle checkout, exchange currency (e.g. 1000¥ to 100¥ coins for laundry machines on 6th floor, or break 10,000¥ to smaller notes). The machines also accept your hotel parking charges. When it was raining, hotel provided full size umbrellas for use, without deposit or giving room numbers, which is very convenient.
It has a car park with limited lots, so if you can secure one ,it will be very easy to unload and load your bags. Costs 2400¥ for 2 nights of parking.
Main place for food is closer to Tenmonkan area, which is walkable.

This hotel was great because I could walk to it from Kagoshima-Chuo Station through a covered arcade, so I didn't get wet on a rainy day. The room was spacious, and I could comfortably leave my suitcase open without feeling cramped. It was also very helpful that they kindly stored my luggage both before check-in and after check-out. The 11 AM check-out time was a nice bonus.
The only downside was that the mini-fridge was tucked completely under the room's table, making it awkward to sit down comfortably as my legs kept bumping into it. The chair was also a foldable type, so while I wanted to do some computer work, it wasn't feasible for long periods. This might not be the best choice for business travelers.

Guest UserMake sure to book Banvina Coffee in advance, otherwise you might end up like me, walking to the back door thinking it was closed.
If you want a convenient location, this is definitely the place. It's very close to the central station, less than a 10-minute walk.
The café downstairs has great taste; hotel guests get a free coffee every day, which is fantastic!
The receptionist, although her English wasn't very good, was very cute ☺️ She even turned on the lights and air conditioning before check-in. The hotel is really generous.
The environment looks quite clean overall.
I would definitely choose this place again if I have the chance to go to Kagoshima again.

a1sukaFantastic hotel! It's right by the Sakurajima Ferry, and you can even see Sakurajima Volcano from your room. It's also really close to Kagoshima Station, with a tram and bus stop right outside. Super convenient for getting anywhere!

Guest UserThe hotel is located in the Planetarium area, with an airport bus stop directly diagonally opposite. It's also just over a 10-minute walk to South Pier. Our twin room was a decent size, with enough space to open two 28-inch suitcases. The room offered a good view, but unfortunately, the windows don't open. In the bathroom, the water pressure was strong and the drain worked well, but the water temperature was a bit hard to adjust, fluctuating between hot and cold. There's a lip into the bathroom that felt a bit wobbly, so care is needed when stepping on it. The bathtub's material and design weren't ideal, which older guests should particularly note. The surrounding area offers plenty of shopping and dining options. Sukiya is right next door, and there's a well-established unagi (eel rice) restaurant nearby that serves delicious food. The hotel's cleanliness was alright, but I did find some hair. It seems the standards aren't quite comparable to what they were years ago when local staff were responsible for room upkeep, a difference perhaps influenced by the increasing presence of foreign workers in many cities. The front desk is on the second floor, and most services are semi-self-service, with self-service luggage lockers available.

The hotel is about a 3-4 minute walk from Takamibashi Station on the Kagoshima City Tram in Kagoshima City.
It's also close to Kagoshima Chuo Station, making it convenient for dining and shopping.
While the building itself is old, there's a water server and coffee machine behind the front desk that guests can use free of charge.
Amenities, with the exception of toothbrushes, were chosen from a table next to the front desk and taken to go.
There were a few inconvenient points, rather than issues that bothered me.
Luggage cannot be stored here before check-in.
You must store your luggage at the affiliated Hotel Taisei Annex, located a 3-4 minute walk away.
The front desk is also closed in the morning, so you must take your luggage to Hotel Taisei Annex.
This may be unavoidable in order to cut labor costs, but as a guest, I found it inconvenient when encountering rain or strong winds.
The room itself has a workspace for working on a laptop.
However, the Wi-Fi environment was poor, with frequent disconnections and timeouts making it unusable.
These are areas that could be improved. Concerns
The shower water pressure was fine, but the stop positions for the shower and faucet were a bit awkward, so when I came home from outside and went to the bathroom, the water was still running.
The faucet switch would be fine if it was tight, but it was loose no matter which way I turned it, making it difficult to adjust.
I think repairs are necessary to prevent the water from running continuously.
The walls were thin, and I could hear the escort next door, so I couldn't sleep.
The front desk staff were very helpful and explained any questions I had clearly.
Prices vary greatly depending on when you book, but I might use it again if it's cheaper.

In addition to being cheap, this hotel is very hygienic, and you can see the Sakurajima volcano, and it is very close to the Kagoshima high-speed boat pier. This pier has an airport bus to Kagoshima Airport.
