I LOVED the Sheraton Kagoshima and wish we'd stayed here for more than one night. I booked an overnight stay in the city on the way back from Yakushima island. I wasn't expecting too much but absolutely fell in love with this hotel.

Whilst the hotel is a little dated it was clean and the staff very helpful. A good base hotel for exploring the local area and taking a trip to Yakushima via the local ferry a couple km's away.

The hot springs, including private ones, are amazing (and sulphurous), and so are the views from the hotel. The food is simple and good, both at dinner and at breakfast. On the other hand, rooms have cheesy smell to them, probably from mold; wifi is very weak.

Wonderful front of house staff, who were so helpful to me when I made a mistake with the bill. They are so kind. Rooms were really clean and ideal location.
