Hotele z: breakfast w Aomori Prefecture, Japan

„Check-in was very smooth. In fact, they allowed us to check in earlier - about 1 to 2 hours earlier, I think. The room was already ready, so they allocated it to us when we arrived. The room itself was rather small but functional and clean, so we don’t really have any complaints other than it being a bit small. I guess this is Japanese standards. The pricing is fairly more expensive than the inns across the road, perhaps because of the location and also because it is very new. The property itself has a very nice onsen. The female onsen had a lot of apples floating in it, which was a very nice touch to showcase Aomori apples. The front desk staff are very nice and very friendly. They also have staff who can speak Chinese. Not that I am Chinese, but I can speak some Chinese better than Japanese, which I can’t speak at all. Nevertheless, the staff could converse in English, or at least some basic English. There’s free yoga and some classes, but we didn’t utilise them as it’s not really useful for tourists who would rather spend time outside the hotel. This seems more suited for locals who want a short getaway, but still a very lovely touch. Breakfast is paid separately and does not come with the room, so there is no comment on that. The property provides Nespresso capsules in the room, and there is also a better Nespresso machine near the check-in counter. I also love that they provide water for free without having to pay extra. The lounge is available for everybody and overlooks the bridge. They provide some free snacks and drinks depending on the timing - different items in the morning and in the evening. That being said, there is no alcohol being served. Also, the coffee there is very bad. I don’t understand why they don’t put the Nespresso machine in the lounge since they have one at the lobby. Overall, everything was quite perfect for this hotel. In fact, the location was the most perfect part. Once you exit the train station, you enter an elevator that goes up to the hotel. Since it was winter, I was afraid I would need to drag my bags for a long time, but it’s right outside the exit after you tap your card and turn left. If I remember correctly, the elevator is right there and there is no need to go outside at all. However, there are only two elevators servicing the entire building, so there might be some waiting time. I would advise leaving earlier if you have a train to catch. The only reason this is not a full-star review is because I requested about a one-hour late checkout due to our train time, and they told us we needed to pay - if I remember correctly, ¥2,000 per hour. I felt they were very rigid about the 11 am checkout time. To be honest, even if they had given it to us, we probably wouldn’t have used it anyway, as we later decided to change our train time to leave Aomori, since there isn’t much to do here. Still, the rejection and inflexibility made us feel very uneasy and unwelcome. I think they could have handled this better by being less rigid and more human. So that’s minus points from us. After all, this is part of hospitality, and it doesn’t hurt.”

„Jesteśmy bardzo zadowoleni z pobytu! 5 minut spacerem od stacji, w pobliżu znajdują się restauracje. Hol znajduje się na poziomie L3, jest duży i oferuje WIELE udogodnień! W tym kapcie w sypialni! Uwielbiamy też rozmiar pokoju! Jest więcej niż wystarczająco miejsca, żeby otworzyć nasze 3 duże bagaże. Toaleta i łazienka są oddzielne. Zatrzymaliśmy się w MYSTAYS w Tokio i nie spodziewaliśmy się niczego. Ale byliśmy naprawdę zaskoczeni tą lokalizacją! Naprawdę bardzo podobał nam się pobyt, na pewno tu wrócimy!!”

„The room was really big for a japan hotel. it was the biggest room we had throughout our 13 days trip. There is a bathtub which i enjoyed daily, with the free bath salts which are provided at the lobby. The staff are friendly and do their best to understand and help us out. We experienced earthquake during our stay, but the building held up. there is a lawson right beside the hotel which is very convenient. The train station is also within 10 minutes walk with mostly covered walkways towards the hotel.”

„I thought that 1km from the station would be a comfortable distance, but if you walk in the wind and snow in winter, it will be completely different. It really looks far away, and the service is very good.The hotel offers free apple juice in the lobby, which is also a local specialty.”

„I really like this hotel ！The staff there are enthusiastic and nice! I lost my card and they told me it’s ok, I really appreciate that. The onsen is also amazing , I could admire the snow and enjoy. And after that, I could have ice cream. The chocolate one tasted good! The only downside is that the pillow is a little high to me. I hope I can have chance to stay there for several nights!”

„Experiencing a nice Japanese style hotel stay is truly a unique experience. The great facilities offered within such a setting usually enhance the overall experience. Traditional aesthetics often create a calming atmosphere, promoting relaxation and tranquility. Furthermore, these accommodations frequently provide exceptional service, ensuring a comfortable visit. Ultimately, the fusion of comfort and culture makes for a memorable trip.”

„I enjoyed my stay. The hotel is comfortable, and the onsen bath is huge. The breakfast was very good as well. My only dislike is the distance to the station which is not very walkable on a snowy day. Perhaps on a summer day it might be easier to reach.”

„Overall, I have a good experience staying at the hotel. One feedback. I was asking the hotel staff about the check in procedures. He asked if I can speak Japanese as he cannot understand English. It can be handled better as hotel is to be expected all tourists from different countries. The staff should have been trained to speak basic English so that they can handle basic questions asked from hotel guests. ”

„Doskonała lokalizacja obok stacji JR. Pokój jest przestronny, superior łazienka z podwójnymi zlewami. Śniadanie jest po prostu niesamowite! Pralnia monety jest bardzo wygodna”
