Hotels Near GU (The Mall Sendai Nagamachi Store) in Sendai

I’ve stayed in many budget and business hotels in Japan. This was by far my worst experience. I stayed for several days to attend a conference nearby. The price was reasonable and location was close to subway and central city. There must be better options in this area and price range. Consider this a last resort hotel when bookings aren’t available elsewhere. Service was poor by Japanese standards. Rooms were run down and in dire need of renovations, it smelled a lot of cigarettes, especially if you opened the window. Walls were thin and it was difficult to sleep with noisy neighbours and firm uncomfortable bedding. A breakfast service is available but I don’t recommend this, the food available is limited and lacks the usual continental options or local specialties typical for Japanese hotels. I communicated with staff almost entirely in Japanese and I’m not sure they are able to accommodate foreign tourists who cannot. For these reasons I do not recommend this hotel, especially if you are visiting Japan from abroad.

The hotel is located just a few minutes by walking behind the main station and there are a lot of yummy food stores along the way & at the station so we never stayed hungry. There was a lot of road works during the time we were there so it’s a bit inconvenient but apart from that the room was at decent size & very clean. If you arrive early than standard check-in time, do a little walk around the city center and come back a little before the time so that you may avoid the queue when everyone shows up at said time.

Hotel Keihan Sendai has just opened. I was able to stay at a low price with the combination of Jalan's special opening plan and GOTO. I visited by private car, but there is a parking lot (Hot House Aoba-dori Daiichi Parking) in the basement. 1500 yen per night. Directly connected by elevator. Convenient. The location is next to the 77 Bank head office along Aoba-dori. Check-in is done by yourself on the touch panel and payment is made at the check-in machine. In addition to cash, credit card payment is possible. The room is a single room on the 9th floor. I was able to see Aoba-dori from the window in the corner room. The equipment is also new. The temperature of the lighting and air conditioner can be adjusted in 0.5 degree increments with the tablet at the bedside. The TV is a 43-inch made by Panasonic. You can also see mirroring of smartphones and YouTube. The unit bath is reasonably large. There is a lounge and Starbucks coffee machine on the 2nd floor, which you can get for free. (The next time I stay, I will have breakfast.) When I go to Sendai, the number of hotels I want to use again has increased.

The official site description is only lies. The location may be good, but even if it is a cheap hotel, it is a price if you consider the content of the service and the quality of the hotel. The reason I chose this hotel is the public bath. However, men can use it after midnight and after work hours. Other time zones are female-only alternation systems, so they are not available for people who work normally. It was not available because the time zone and the actual time zone published on the official site were different. Despite the fact that the front desk is not Bali or free, it is narrow and there is no lobby. What was surprised to enter the room was that the room was dusty, the futon was strange, the spider's nest was under the bed, the bath was dirty and unsanitary The temperature of hot water in the bath Even though it was about 30 degrees on the display, it was hot enough to be scrambled, and I filled it with water many times. At night, you can hear footsteps rather than conversations from people passing through the corridor, and the sound of neighbors using toilets and the sound of hangers can be heard until the sound of watching TV. There are some wifi, but it is stressed because it is cut many times during use. The note in the room also contains Japanese and English, but only Japanese and Chinese were ”Please don't open the door and talk to your neighbor”. This is that the Chinese are doing bad things. The fact that there are many Chinese was very worried about mites. In addition, the sound of patchy from the ceiling is heard in the middle of the night. It was so much that I thought it would come out even if it was a ghost. The breakfast is also a substitute that cannot be said to be very delicious. It was the level that it was to fill the stomach for the time being. In addition, there is no person at the front desk if you want to check out. Waited for a long 々 and was not in time for the train. Businessmen should not use this hotel. There is a hindrance to work.

It is about the middle of Kotodai Park and Aoba Dori Ichiban Cho and is just next to Kokubun Cho. It is a very convenient city hotel as a location. I feel a little history, but it is made of a feeling of a city hotel, and the desk in the room is also firm, and it is an indispensable size for work. The breakfast venue is a banquet hall on the 10th floor. There are 2 eggs and * baked service, and the number of items is there. There was also curry in the morning. Also, it is a service that is happy to bring coffee back to the room.

Welcome coffee and morning coffee are free. Both are paper cups so you can take them to your room. Breakfast can be eaten for 500 yen. Pajamas are the style you bring yourself from the first floor. It is not in the room so you need to pick it up after check-in. Also, the room was clean and functional. It was comfortable to sleep in. The desk was small but had a light. The mirror is only in the bathroom, so makeup needs to be made in the bathroom or the mirror you brought.

This budget hotel is located further away from Sendai station and is not walking distance with big luggage. The location is also a shopping street where there is a bus stop with bus heading to Sendai station. A short ride costs 120yen. The room is a bit dated and small though good enough for 1 person. Service staff at the check in counter are friendly and nice although English proficiency level is not high.

The water pressure in the shower is strong and weak, and it becomes stressful because the momentum becomes strong or weak. Also, when it comes to temperature, it suddenly rises to nearly 50 degrees Celsius, and vice versa. If you start taking a shower, this will continue forever. Also, the ventilation port in the room (not in the shower room, there is an air exit by the bed) was bobbing at a tremendous volume, so I was soundproofed with a gum tape and slept. In addition, there are only two dryers for the laundry, and the drying is poor, so many people use it for about 90 minutes, so there is a waiting time. Also, unlike other stores, it is unmanned, so replenishment of amenities needs to call the staff one by one.

KOKO should have acquired many hotels of other brands and changed them to their own management model. There are two hotels near Sendai Station. One is located in the west of Sendai Station, a few minutes' walk away, but the building is older. The style inside is **** yellow, a bit like the decoration of Chinese homes in the 70s and 80s. The interior of this hotel is black, more like the Ginza store, but the building may be older. The location is very good, close to Aoba Street, with a park next to it. It is about 1.6km to Sendai Station by foot. There are barrier-free roads throughout the journey, so it is not a big problem even if you push the suitcase out of Sendai Station. The Japanese are a bit rigid in doing things. I arrived at 2:30, and there was a room, but I still asked the customer to wait until 3 o'clock to check in. Later, I don't know why I got it right again, and asked the customer to check in at 2:45. In short, on-site management is an art. If you are just working there, you just need to follow the process. It is not far from Tohoku University. Cross the road and walk to the end. After entering the campus, go straight and turn right, and you can see the statue of Mr. Li. Mr. Li's style is as high as the mountains and as long as the rivers. I caught up with the Aoba Festival, also known as the Sparrow Dance. I don't know the origin, but the liveliness and watchability are not as good as the Awa Dance Festival in Tokushima. I came here to join in the fun. On that Saturday, the price of accommodation around Sendai Station doubled. Only KOKO next to Dainen Park maintained the original price. Where can you find more than 200 per night? After all, I am in a first-tier city in Northeast China. This price is OK. In addition, after checking out, I wanted to take a taxi to the airport. I wanted to ask the front desk to help me book a car. I don’t know if there was a communication problem. I came out alone on the roadside to help call a taxi, and stretched and yawned. So I politely asked him to go back. Who can't hail on the roadside... In short, the KOKO series is worth staying for cost-effectiveness. But if you are a couple, especially on your honeymoon, well, you know, this is a business series, which may ruin your romantic atmosphere, not recommended... That's all.

This hotel is beyond my expectation. First of all, the location is a bit far from Sendai Station, but there are free minibuses that take me directly to the hotel. Secondly, the hotel design style is very unique. The rooms are luxurious and large in Japan. The hotel lobby is elegant, with free morning tea and a discounted afternoon bar. The cleanliness is very comfortable, the smell is fresh and pleasant, and the bathroom has penetrating speakers, so if you are happy, it is fun to go to the bathroom with the TV. In addition, although the service staff can't speak Chinese, they are still very polite and patient to solve my cleaning needs. When I left the hotel, they sent me out of the lobby and watched the car go away, and kept bowing. The emotional value is in place, and the price seems to be very cheap haha
