Great hotel, conveniently located at the center of Kagoshima. Friendly staff and good breakfast. Communication via mail before the check in was a bit difficult and instructions for parking were unclear (affiliate parking in nearby places), but overall a great place to stay

Convenient, Clean, Nice Staff, Great Sakurajima view (with the view rooms). Connected underground to Kagoshima Chuo Station and to AMU shopping and AEON grocery store. Bus to Airport is also in same building. 5 minutes from Museum of the Meiji Restoration and CIty View bus stop. Restaurant flood B1 looked fun too!

A stay worthwhile!

Amazing hotel! Great location, amazing service, and clean rooms. I would be remiss not to mention the views the hotel provides of the mountainous landscape. Our room had a front and center view of Sakurajima. I will definitely be coming back to Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel should I make a trip back to Kagoshima

Great for volcano watchers

A great location right next to the airport bus station and near to the JR station.Many shops and restaurants are also close by. Our room had a superb view of Sakura-san volcano which puffed a bit as we were flying in but was quiet for our stay Our only problem was with the limited space for opening our suitcases though we thought the overall room size was reasonable. The layout made that dufficult. Would stay there again.
