4-Star hotele w: Miyagi Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is easily visible after crossing the pedestrian bridge from Sendai Station. There's a large Don Quijote duty-free shop right across the street. They offer complimentary afternoon tea and a happy hour, and the breakfast includes Sendai's famous beef tongue and fish cakes.

Whenever I'm in Nagoya, I stay at Keihan. The price here in Sendai was just right, and the location is super convenient. There are convenience stores and plenty of restaurants nearby, plus it's very close to the station. As for the room, there's enough space to open a suitcase, and pajamas are provided.

Whenever I travel around Japan, if there's a Daiwa Roynet Hotel near the station, I almost always choose it because it's truly excellent in every aspect. It's a convenient 10-minute walk from Sendai Station's West Exit, making it super easy to get to attractions by public transport or on foot. There are tons of shops and restaurants nearby, which is great but can be tough for indecisive people like me. The rooms are spacious, and the attention to detail is very thoughtful. Plus, the breakfast includes sashimi, which is a big bonus! They also allow overnight luggage storage, which is another huge plus. I've done this before at the Daiwa Roynet in Takamatsu, and they're consistently excellent! Oh, but you do need to have another reservation with them afterwards for the luggage storage.

Reception at 5 pm was efficient and I didn’t have to wait. Street level provides access to two lifts that take you to the second floor reception area. Wifi worked well and the air conditioning was good especially in the cold weather. Rooms are not huge but adequate size. I booked a larger room of which there are a few. House keeping was also good, though guests need to request daily services by placing a card on the room door otherwise daily service is not provided. The two lifts can be slow especially during busy times such as morning checking out. The location is good being about 15 minutes walk from the main Shinkansen station. Being in a built up area there aren’t any views of parks etc. The hotel is five minutes walk to the covered main shopping mall-street which are common in Japan. There are major shopping malls in the central train station area. There are also many nearby restaurants that should suit most people’s budget and type of food. Beef tongue is a specialty in Sendai and many restaurants offer it at various prices. Buses and subway stations are nearby and provide access to various parts of the city. There are several attractions within 30 minutes of the hotel such as temples and museums. Overall a pleasant stay and happy to visit again.

I had an excellent stay at Sendai Washington Hotel. The room was comfortable, clean, and well-appointed, making for a very pleasant experience. Check-in was smooth and efficient, allowing us to settle in quickly. One feature I particularly appreciated was the bathroom, which offered both a separate shower area and a bathtub, giving guests the option of a quick shower or a relaxing soak after a long day of sightseeing. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and I would happily return. If there is one area for improvement, it would be the furnishings in the room. I would have preferred a proper work desk instead of the small coffee table provided, as it would have been more practical for guests who need a comfortable space to work, write, or organize their travel plans. The location was another highlight of our stay. The hotel is less than a five-minute walk from Sendai Station, making it extremely convenient for travellers. The area around the station offers a wide range of amenities, including restaurants, cafes, local markets, shopping malls, and the bus terminal. We also boarded the Loople Sendai sightseeing bus from the terminal, which was a great way to explore and get an overview of the city's main attractions.

More than what I expect! Located right in the heart of the shopping district—food and shopping are literally in front of the hotel. Check-in: Super fun! Used the automated machines with the T-REX characters. Very smooth, and real staff are on standby. The Room: Massive for Japan standards! Huge bed, comfy mattress, and plenty of plugs. The LG Styler was a massive bonus. Security: Keycard is a must for everything, don't leave it behind! Parking: Tons of lots nearby, but it’s expensive for overnight parking.

The Japanese breakfast was a set menu and very exquisite. When I checked in in the afternoon, someone was playing the piano. During breakfast and check-out, someone was playing the flute. It was a wonderful experience. There's a large public bath where you can relax. The room was clean and tidy. They even provided a complimentary bag to carry clothes to the public bath.

The hotel's location is excellent. The reception is on the 4th floor of the building, which also houses the Shinkansen and JR stations. Inside the building, you'll find plenty of dining options, a supermarket, and shops. The surrounding area is bustling with even more shopping malls. It's incredibly convenient on a rainy day, as you can spend half the day exploring without even stepping outside. It's also super easy for train travel; just go downstairs, and you're there, saving time on commuting and waiting. The breakfast is also quite diverse.

I booked a non-smoking single room, and smoking was allowed in the downstairs parking lot. The environment was great for a solo stay. For breakfast, you might have to queue depending on the number of diners and the time, but the mapo tofu is truly excellent and a must-have in the morning. It's very close to Sendai Station, with plenty of dining options nearby and many convenience stores.

The Asahi Shimbun building is right next door, haha! I was always so curious about it when watching Detective Conan. Sendai's beef tongue is absolutely amazing; I ate it twice nearby. I used to not like beef tongue, but now I can't get enough of it! I even got a stationery tissue box from B Shop from a gachapon, so lucky!
