this place could not be closer to the station. Which is great cuz it was raining cats and dogs. The check in/out was easy peasy, and my room was , as I asked for, since I don't walk well, close to the bathroom, and on the bottom floor. The kitchen had the complete package of toaster oven/microwave/stove with big refridgerator/freezer, which I love cuz I need to cook my own food. ( can you say fussy traveller? ) Everything was clean and they had extras like bicycles and a washing machine. There was no way I was going to be comfortable on just the one thin futon, so the staff gave me a 2nd one to add, and I slept like a baby. lovely air conditioner. shower was nice and hot with great water pressure. Filtered tap water. 2 laptops for customers to use, and the ferry schedules, and other needed info . were posted clearly.

the room layout of the private room is clunky, I had to crawl over the bed to get into it. If a carpenter shaved some of the bed down , I think it would fit across the room in a more standard way, and that would also make the room feel bigger. but the room did have another stool and table crammed in there, and that is nice , to have a place to put my things. Also the curtain is way too thin for the fact that the neighbors have a bright light shining in - it needs a window darkening curtain. But , like I said, I slept really well , so those are only small needed improvements.

Everything was great- 1) Location (4 mins away from Kagoshima JR station) 2) Staff - very friendly and accommodating 3) Facilities - Shared kitchen with free tea, utensils etc. Free use of the washing machine (Small fee if you want to use the tumble dryer, but if you aren't short of time, there is a clothes air drying area) 4) Female Dormitory room - Warm and comfy. Individual lockers were provided. The curtains on the bunk bed were thick so could sleep in privacy. (The beds were futon beds, so westerners may find it a bit thin)

All good no issues

Excellent value private rooms, extremely close to KagashimaChuo station ~4 minutes walk. Easy to get buses from the station to wherever and a 15 minute walk into Downtown. Simple rooms but well appointed, our room was a triple room arranged with a bunk bed and loft. Kitchen is small but functional and common space is simple but nice. Staff very friendly. Free washing machine and coin dryer, drying area also. Shower facilities and toilets good.

Bed wasn’t the comfiest but for 2000 jpy per person it wasn’t bad.

The location is very good, really close to Kagoshima chuo station. The bed was comfortable, with an outlet to charge my phone and a curtain for privacy. The people are friendly and accommodating. I could leave my luggage there after the check-out to enjoy the city a bit more.

There was no light in the bed and little room for luggage in the shared room. The kitchen was a bit too small, even for one person, let alone for many. The eating space was a bit small, too. It's not a problem if you're planning to eat out.

Very cute little sharehouse in the center of Kagoshima! The staff was very friendly and cleaned everything regularly! I was in a female only room and I felt comfortable. Washing machine was for free! Drier was 300 Yen, but that is pretty normal everywhere in Japan. I met a lot of interesting and fun people. The hostel had a shared kitchen and living room so in the evening we could sit together and meet new people! It felt very cozy!

I did not know that they don‘t provide any towels, so my first night there I was without towel and toothbrush… the next day I bought myself some. The light was always on in the room, it was not a bright light but a small one. It was nice on one hand because at night you could see when you had to leave the bed but at the same time the first night it disturbed me a little bit.

It's location as close to main train station..good to have it as base and go around, and no worry to get lost as main station is easy landmark even if you don't speak Japanese.

On booking.com, stated hotel but on ground it's guesthouse. For male dorm, it's 10 person and it's dead air in the afternoon when i checked in. During the night, snoring etc was expected but luckily as the night goes on, the temperature become cooler. Warning, there's no fan or ventilation in the room. I managed to upgrade to twin double decker, with extra amount paid, then I have a peaceful mind of sleep as the locker size provided can't not fit in my luggages...and i am not certain about my cash etc as the locker just come with normal key pad.

Great affordable price, free tea in the lounge area, straightforward and relaxed staff (check-in and check-out was very stress-free). Only 3 minutes walk from Kagoshima-Chuo JR stations. Air conditioner made the room cool. Free laundry and cheap drying! Thank you.

Uncomfortable, creaky beds in the male dorm. Only one cheap quality pillow. The beds were so close, I could hear others’ snoring loudly, etc (it’s not the fault of the hostel). Shower and facilities were okay

The location was an easy walk from Kagoshima chuo station. Our room had a bunk bed and a loft which was a cool design and well use of a space. Google map location listed the Little Asia guesthouse location on the main street. It is an old entrance no longer used as per staff. You have to go around the block to a side street to find the new main entrance.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Everything was clean. It's very close to the highway bus station/mall which makes it practical (but if you're only here to take the ferry to yakushima you will have a bit of a walk, about 40min to the port)

Had everything you need, no more and no less (e.g. lockers, power plugs near the bed, etc.). Very close to Kagoshima Station, street-car stop and bus terminals, as well as a shopping centre and a lot of restauraunts.

Could use another shower or two, especially for the busy showering periods (e.g. evenings).
