Hotel Az Kagoshima Osaki

A nice place.

The evening is pretty quiet, with not much entertainment, and there aren't shops or restaurants close by. There's a Lawson right across from the hotel, though, and a restaurant on the first floor if you need dinner. I took a point off the location rating for the lack of nearby options. Otherwise, I was happy with my December 2025 stay. The hotel is along National Route 220, with a paved, marked lot out front that fits about 60 cars. There are around 25 rooms per floor. The rooms are spacious enough, though the 24-inch TVs are small. The refrigerator is tiny, just about enough for a one-liter carton or six 350 ml bottles. There's also a laundry room downstairs.

I stayed two nights, and both beds caused me a lot of discomfort. The mattress stuffing seemed worn out, with the springs pressing into me no matter how I lay. I raised it with the front desk, and after a cancellation they moved me for the second night, but that bed was only a little better. Everything else was good: the price, location, room cleanliness and amenities, and the breakfast staff's attitude. I'd come back if they fixed the bed, which was painful to sleep on.

I stay here whenever I'm on a business trip. The staff service is great, and I especially like that breakfast is free. I plan to keep coming back.
