Hotel Lexton Kagoshima

This hotel is pretty nice! The hotel check in went smoothly, and they had English-speaking staff available at the time. (Thank you, Yoko-san!) We were able to drop off our luggage early then come back later for check-in. The room was a good size and very comfortable. It had a nice desk and space for our luggage, as well as a closet and a little table and chairs. I did use the mini-fridge for some drinks, but didn't try the TV. We didn't have much of a view, but that was fine, we didn't spend much time in the room. The beds were the standard hard Japanese beds. There was a huge step up from the main room to the bathroom, though, which was a little annoying. Also the air con doesn't have a temperature control. It was either off, or HOT. My friend used the coin laundry and that went fine, but her clothes were still a little wet after. Luckily we had the HOT AC to dry them off after! Otherwise our stay was quite nice, the room had enough space for us and the staff were really nice! We also ate the hotel breakfast. It's a buffet with Japanese and American style foods available. It was pretty good! We were also quite near Tenmonkan, the main shopping and nightlife district, which was really convenient! The hotel is about a 20 minute walk from Kagoshima Chuo Station, but it's an easy walk. Being in the downtown area was really nice!
