To summen it up, our 4 day stay at the Sheraton Kagoshima was nothing but outstanding.

People in Japan are friendly, but the staff at the Sheraton went beyond being friendly. Every single person in this building, from the person helping you out of your taxi, the reciptionists, the waitresses at the cafe, the concierge service, the restaurant staff to the cleaning staff seems to be the most friendly and helpful person you ever met. And they seem to read your mind when you need something and do it before you even dared to ask.

The rooms were outstanding. Lots of space, a huge window, tons of power outlets and USB ports, big TV, comfy and huge beds, a modern bath with as much hot water as you want, a great toilet and a view of the volcano to die for.

The breakfast was the best we had in over 10 hotels in Japan. Mixing japanese and western cuisine, with as many freshly made omlets as you could eat, bread, salad, rice dishes, soups to warm dishes and whatnot, we basically rolled out of the restaurant after breakfast and didn’t eat anything until dinner.

We ate dinner in two different restaurants the hotel has to offer, and the food here was amazing as well. The grill restaurant offers great meat and fish dishes and has a fantastic view over the city from the top floor of the building. The Japanese restaurant located on the 4th floor offered a fantastic hot bowl with fresh ingredients and the best meat we had in a long time.

Thanks for making our stay in Kagoshima an outstanding experience!

Amazing hotel with incredible views and a great onsen

What could be improved: A bit over priced. It was already expensive but I splashed out as it sounded (and was) so amazing, but when a 80 dollar service charge was snuck onto my bill, I didn’t appreciate it

What could be improved: The tram station is along one of the busiest line and tends to be very crowded by the time it reached the station. That said this is how the city works not so much of the property.
