Hotel Urbic Kagoshima

“1 week in KAGOSHIMA - leisure trip”

This hotel is right next to and practically attached to the Kagoshima-Chuo Train Station. Excellent location, just take the west exit by Bic Camera, go down the escalator and you're there!

This hotel is right next to and practically attached to the Kagoshima-Chuo Train Station. Excellent location, just take the west exit by Bic Camera, go down the escalator and you're there! For American's who need a large room this is not for you. Price wise and value you can't beat it. We got a room rate which included breakfast, well worth it. If you opt to buy the breakfast it's about $9.00 USD per person. Mostly Japanese breakfast, but they do offer some Western options such as eggs and sausage, coffee (excellent) and bread products. If you don't want to spend the money, less than 1 block away is Family Mart. The hotel has washer and dryers 3 each to be exact. 200.00 yen for wash and 100.00 yen to dry. It will take 200.00 yen to dry if you have thick items. The hotel is clean! Although the rooms are on the smaller side by American standards, I'd say it's about the same as a standard cruiseship room. The bathroom has a deep bath tub, and good amenities. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. House slippers, robes, hair dryer, and water heater to make tea. They provide green tea packets. In room fridge too. Only thing missing is a room safe. No biggie, we just locked our bags. The staff is very kind. If you don't speak Japanese just make sure you have Google translate. Some staff members speak more English than others. Excellent internet too! No body lotion but you can buy one at Family Mart. The Kagoshima-Chuo station has a handful of places to eat. If you walk to the opposite side of the station, east exit you'll find more shopping and restaurants. You will also be at Kagoshima-Chuo eki Mae where the trams run. If you're expecting a 5 star hotel, go stay at one and pay the high price for it and the inconvenience we'd rather spend their money on other things. They also have those wonderful TOTO toilets! This is classified a 3 star, many business men stay here along with a mix of leisure travelers. This hotel is safe, and in a very safe area, we enjoyed it and highly recommend it! Sorry no room photos cause when I wrote the review I messed it up.

“Excellent Location for JR Station”

Excellent location for going to JR station walk by 3 mins, many restaurants can be choose nearby hotel, a BIC-Camera shop here, model hotel and tidy room. Taxi station and bus stop there, convenient for traveler and business people.

“Good value ”

The location of the hotel, just a minute's walk from the west entrance of kagoshima chuo station (the quieter side) is perfect. This is clearly a no frills business hotel. The room is small but comes with all the basics (including a strange set of pjs, see it to believe it), which is sufficient. Do… lisää

The location of the hotel, just a minute's walk from the west entrance of kagoshima chuo station (the quieter side) is perfect. This is clearly a no frills business hotel. The room is small but comes with all the basics (including a strange set of pjs, see it to believe it), which is sufficient. Door key and power activation key chain are extremely old school. Offers great value for its price but front office staff is a mixed bag- some are warm and friendly, others cold, expressionless and robotic.

“Ok hotel near the JR station but needs updating.”

The hotel was conveniently located near the JR station, although the other side of the station would have been more convenient with more shopping and buses. The room was unusually spacious but somewhat old and had only average cleanliness. The bathroom was small and old. The most annoying thing abo… lisää

The hotel was conveniently located near the JR station, although the other side of the station would have been more convenient with more shopping and buses. The room was unusually spacious but somewhat old and had only average cleanliness. The bathroom was small and old. The most annoying thing about the hotel was that there was no in-room air-conditioning control.
