Prathana from Thailand (22 March 2025)

There is a convenience store very close to the accommodation.There are many restaurants nearby.
There is an onsen.

What could be improved: The accommodation is located on the opposite side of Sendai Station. Makes you have to push your bag a bit far.

Angel from Australia (15 January 2025)

Great location, close to Sendai station.
Our plan has access to the spa which was exceptional.
The public bath was clean and relaxing, and the resting area has wide choices of drinks (including beer) and snacks for guests after the bath.

What could be improved: Only central heating, but at least can open the window for fresh air.

A made vintage hotel, car park was my main consideration. I was told my suv was too big and have to park relevant public park. Breakfast was good.

What could be improved: Location just in front of Sendai station western side

particularly love their onsen which allow stickers to conceal tattoos. a gesture thats v welcomed in Japan where tattoos are ostracised for no good reasons.

Randolf from Japan (19 December 2024)

9/10

Very much unexpected but most appreciated the natural Onsen spa on 17F - including one free beer for every night's stay and a good selection of free soft drinks, icecream and snacks. The adjacent relaxation room has very comfortable reclining seats with individual TV sets. What could be improved: As usual, the building is not sound "proof"...

What could be improved: As usual, the building is not sound "proof". Throughout the night, noises from upper and lower floors can be heard, such as door banging or other guests dropping or moving things.

Narumol from Thailand (18 November 2024)

8/10

The decoration is a kind of vintage, quite unique.

What could be improved: Lobby is quite small, crowded when checked in. The onsen is crowded, so did not try.

Nitsan from Israel (10 November 2024)

9/10

The upstairs onsen and lounge were very good! I used it every day! The place was well situated and lavish. We felt it was a good find for its price.

What could be improved: We found the room to be a bit too warm when sleeping under a thick blanket, even when the heating was turned off.
