Very good hotel, would love to come back!
First of all the check-in was very smooth as non-jp speakers. At the counter, they had a display with english options and a voice that guided you through the process in addition to the staff. That was very helpful.
We had a twin room and it was quite spacious with an armchair and desk with chair and still lots of floor space.
The view was good, we could oversee the city and Sakurajima.
I am impressed by the anemities in japanese hotels. You get the standard set of pyjamas, water bottles, shampoo, conditioner, razors, hairdryer, toothbrushes and so on. And a lot of it was made with reduced plastic content, which lessens the blow of all the single use stuff at least a little.
The breakfast was a buffet and a good mix of japanese and western. I wasn't familiar with all the dishes or not used to eating them for breakfast, but I still found many enjoyable things!
Only thing I dearly missed was hot tea! The only available tea was a cold green tea.
The area the hotel is located in was busy at night with lots of restaurants and bars, which was fun to stroll through in the evening (even though I am not interested in the nightlife). It was still totally quiet in the hotel. It is also in walking distance to lots of public transport and a big arcaded mall area. The visitors seemed to be mainly japanese business men.
