Hotels in Fukushima City

"Situated adjacent to Fukushima station, the hotel offered excellent service, comfort and convenience. The staff warmly welcomed me upon check-in and each morning and evening, and the room was clean and large by Japanese standards. The buffet breakfast shouldn't be missed."

"The lobby has a very elegant Japanese feel, and the staff are all really friendly. The environment is comfortable, and both breakfast and dinner are delicious and plentiful. Overall, it's a hot spring hotel that makes you want to stay for a few more days."

"Turning right from Fukushima Station, the hotel is just a 3-minute walk away, making its location incredibly convenient. It's perfect for a one-night stopover before moving on to your next city. With several convenience stores and a wide variety of dining options nearby, it serves as an ideal transit hub, especially for travelers nearing the end of their journey. The room was quite spacious and very clean, fully equipped with a desk, refrigerator, and TV. The bathroom, complete with a bathtub, was also a good size."

"Overall a nice hotel, very close to the JR train station, just a couple of minutes walk away. The room size was very generous a lot bigger than others we’ve stayed at in Japan. The bathroom was also very spacious with a full size bath and powerful shower. The hotel provides nightwear and toiletries as well as coffee and laundry. Breakfast has a good variety of choices although can we quite busy as peak times and items do run out. I would recommend as a good convenient choice if travelling by train."

"carpark at the hotel is limited but there are few outdoor carparks surroundings. not near the city centre; take 10 mins walk to the station but the room is cosy enough no heater in the bathroom, but there’s a window."

"I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The first great point is the proximity to the Fukushima Station. When I arrived, my check-in process was handled by the Manager, Matsuda-san. He was very friendly and warm. The room I stayed in was decently-sized, giving me enough room to walk around with a large suitcase and other bags on the floor. A suitcase stand and a small stool are provided. The beige wallpaper provided a nice contrast to the dark carpet. The controls for the room were absolutely fantastic - I could, for instance, adjust the brightness of the main light and the strength of the bathroom exhaust fan. The bathroom was slightly cramped, but I managed. An alarm clock is also provided for guests. The default blanket in the room was far too hot; even with the heating turned off, I felt like I was being roasted while I was in bed with the blanket covering me (and this was in winter!). I didn't like the default pillow either, it was too hard. On my last night, I requested a thinner blanket and softer pillow. Thankfully, the hotel was able to provide them, and I slept much better after using the new blanket and pillow. Funnily enough, the mattress was also quite hard, but it didn't give me any problems. The sound insulation was fantastic, and the cleaning staff were super quiet! I almost couldn't tell that they were outside my room doing their work! I also very likely had considerate Japanese guests on my floor, hence the peace. Nearby the hotel is S-Pal, where you can buy all sorts of prepared meals (if you're lucky, you can find a few vegan options). There's also a large pharmacy, and there are many convenience stores around. The main complaint I have is that the check-out time @ 10:00 is too early. I think 12:00 would be a better time. I did not have breakfast at the hotel, nor did I use any of the facilities, so I have no comment on those. I definitely recommend Hotel Route-Inn Grand Fukushima Ekimae to others, and I will definitely consider staying at Route-Inn hotels in other parts of Japan! Side Notes: (1) If you have large luggage and arrive at the Fukushima Station, you'll have to take the elevator at the west exit, and when you reach the ground floor you'll see another elevator about 20 metres in front of you (slightly to the left). This second elevator will take you to the underground passage, which you can use to get to the east side of the station, where Route-Inn Grand Fukushima is located. Do note that there is a rear entrance to the hotel (next to a public parking lot), and this will save you from walking to the front of the hotel with all your luggage. (2) Vegan options in Fukushima are unfortunately extremely limited, but you can find some vegan tofu bars and a few other items at 7-Eleven...but be sure to use Google Lens to translate the ingredients!"

"It was great that everything was completed in the hotel. There was also a large communal bath, which was very relaxing and it was a really wasteless hotel. The response of the front staff 々 was also great. When I was in trouble, he responded quickly and in detail. Thank you."

"We're coming back for the second year in a row! Our rooms were spacious and panoramic, with a beautiful view from the window. The room had everything we needed. I really liked the private bath; it was comfortable and beautiful. The public bath wasn't particularly impressive, perhaps due to the recent renovations. I can't say anything bad, but my expectations were a little higher. The biggest plus is the staff. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness; it's thanks to you that we keep coming back. The food was also great; the standard dinner menu has changed slightly since last year. There's a wide selection of drinks."

"It was very convenient because it was close to the IC and there was a convenience store right there. The large communal bath was good and the breakfast was satisfactory. The staff were very polite!"
