Fantastic Stay!

Absolutely fantastic stay at hotel Nakahara Bessou in Kagoshima! The staff here are exceptional. They were very friendly and even helped us book a rental car and ferry to yakushima. The rooms are as described, very clean and spacious. The onsen in the evenings was divine. I would highly recommend for your stay in Kagoshima.

The room was cozy, spotless and at a great location; spatial, compared to relugar business hotel; the staff onsite were attentive and helpful. One of the staff even helped me to make reservations at a local restaurant because I didn't speak Japanese :) and I had a great dinner and conversation with the host and fellow diners with the very limited Japanese I have + Google Translate ha. The onsite onsen was a cherry on top. I replaced morning run with morning hot spring - what a great way to start the day of excursion . I will stay here again next time visiting Kagoshima.

Great location at Tenmonkan district, easy walking distance to tram station, hotel is obviously old but considerably well maintained, room is big and spacious as seen on pics, onsen is definitely its draw!

I booked this hotel because I wanted to enjoy an onsen (which allowed hotels) and a traditional-style bedroom. It met both of those criteria, and was in a prime location to explore downtown Kagoshima City. I really appreciated that the staff kept our luggage before we checked in and after we checked out. Plus, they helped call us a taxi when we were heading to board a ferry at the port.

Hotel is quite old but well maintained and clean with very helpful and friendly staff. Though it has the word onsen in its name, the hotspring was a disappointment with only one hotspring pool and nothing else, not even an external hotspring pool. But the hotel is very well located with the Tenmonkan Shopping Districr just beside it. Driving to the Sakurajima Ferry Terminal only takes five minutes, and many dining places are within a ten-min walking radius.

The traditional Japanese rooms were very comfortable, the breakfast was elaborate and very good. Great location, close to many shops and park. Only negatives were that the hotel did not have laundry facilities, and the room key had to be left at the desk when leaving the hotel - this meant that if there was a line when we returned,we had to wait to get the room key. This was a real pain.
