We were only staying overnight between a late arrival and the morning ferry. However, the location was very convenient for us and the hotel very clean. We could easily get to it from the Kagoshima Airport bus and the local ferries. The local shopping is also good, so we could easily find food to eat. Unlike some of the pictures, our room looked out on the concrete wall of the adjacent building, so not very light. However, we were there to sleep, so this made little difference to us. There was a bit of noise from the trams, but not much. Besides, you trade that for the access to transportation.
