Very noisy room. I'm not sure if it's the pipes or other doors but all day and night there is a banging noise which U could hear even through earplugs.

Not Recommended for Foreign Residents of Japan
Older business hotel with keys that have to be dropped off at the desk every time you leave. Pros: Location. Near Yataimura and Kagoshima Chuo Station. Extra pillows on rack near the elevator. Cons: Check-in. This hotel threatened to cancel my reservation unless I let them photocopy my driver's license or resident's card. I reminded them that according to Japanese law people with addresses in Japan, regardless of nationality, are not subject to such privacy invasions (unfortunately, tourists a forced to comply). I stayed calm the entire time, and they eventually relented. However, if you are a non-Japanese resident of Japan, then I do not recommend this place because they appear to train their staff to break the law by demanding a copy of ID even from Japanese residents. Room. The description claims there are black-out drapes/curtains, but this was not the case in my room. The attached picture shows daylight easily glowing through even though the room lights are on. The air conditioner is not from the 21st century. You can turn it on, but you can't change the desired temperature. It was way too hot (controlled centrally). There's no humidifier in the room, so it was bone dry while sleeping. Woke up with a sore throat every morning.

Riverside Capsule
Easy to find the hotel, right along the river in town. Close to a covered walkway that has a giant peach as the sign (Momotaro) that has some restaurants. Lots of convenience stores around to get cheap food or drinks. The hotel is mostly Mehdi, it is older and dingy (not dirty). Their included "breakfast" is 1 hard boiled egg and 1 piece of toast, if you want more then you pay... not what I would call breakfast. They did have free non alcoholic drinks like coffee (machine that made different kinds) also Japanese pop and cold tea. They had toaster ovens and hot water as well as packets of matcha free as well. Big TV in the eating area with lots of chairs but no relaxing area with comfy chairs. I had a private room capsule, the room is so small that you have the capsule and a small table with stool and a lamp but no real room to move inside or store luggage. Bath area is public, men only, pretty standard. They supply robes and towels but no yukata to sleep in. Standard toothbrush, hair brushes and razors are included as well. They have laundry machines as well that are not advertised and they have free laundry soap but the machines are coin operated. Capsules have a working ventilation system (which is rare) a light, mirror and TV, there was no electrical outlet in the capsule but was 2 in the room by the desk. Western toilets and urinals. I would say this is a decent place but the least nice capsule I have ever stayed in, bed was ok but not great, pillow was bad.

It was OK. The room was dated and small. The bed was short so if you are very tall (1.80m plus) your feet may stick out. We know the size of the room we were getting so was not a surprise. The location is very central, close to Chuo station, across Yataimura. Considering the price and the quality of the room I would recommend to stay at a different hotel.

Good hotel for a short trip
Perfectly good standard hotel: good location close to the main station, good wifi, very hard bed but I think that's normal for the region. Some nice extras like free water/tea/coffee and free noodles in the late evening.

Location good, room size was big.
Overall is good. The room size was big enough for 3 luggage. It was near the Kagoshima-Chuo Station and the bus station. The shower was quite weak. The price was low so it was very valuable to stay here for 1-2 nights.

Good location
The hotel is in a great location to Kagoshima Chuo shinkansen station. Staff are friendly and helpful even though I speak very little Japanese. The hotel has a Mens sauna and free nightly Udon service, although I didn't use these services. It is a business hotel and is starting to feel a little old inside the guestrooms.

Great hotel, very central.
Pretty much went for best price for my entire trip, so it was a good deal. Turns out, not even 10 min walk from bullet train station! Nice and clean. Offer breakfast(900¥), free Udon soup at 22:00 and great restaurants all around. Would stay again.

Nice staff, small hotel, convenient location
Convenient location to station. Hotel staff were nice. Women get to choose 3 free extra amenities (e.g., teas, lotions, shampoo, face blotters etc). Room amenities already include shampoo and conditioner. Room was a little dark and walls very thin (can hear neighbors clearly). Pretty big room for a small Japanese hotel (we stayed in double twin room).

Not bad, not great
All in all a decent hotel, good value but nothing great. The single room was just a double room with one bed removed, so quite spacious. The lobby is nice and modern, the rooms look a bit outdated. The wifi signal in the room was too weak so I had to go down to the lobby. The bath/sauna is nice and free for guests.
