Hotel Dengan bar di Miyagi Prefecture, Japan

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.

This hotel was an excellent choice, and I was honestly surprised that it was so affordable. The location is very convenient, right near Sendai Station, so it was easy to get there with suitcases. Check-in starts at 3 p.m., but if you arrive earlier, you can leave your luggage or relax in the hotel. At 3 p.m., someone was playing the piano, and guests could enjoy drinks and snacks, including very tasty mochi. The room was spacious, and every centimeter was used thoughtfully. There were shelves, hangers, and everything we needed. Pajamas, slippers, and bath amenities were provided, and in addition to the usual items, there was also a facial care set. The public bath was another great feature, especially after a long day of walking. Washing machines and dryers were available on the same floor, which was very convenient. We tried the breakfast on one of the days, and it was definitely worth it. While we were eating, an organ was playing, which made the atmosphere even more special. I can only recommend this hotel and would be very happy to come back. Thank you very much!

Great location, with direct access to Sendai Station from downstairs. If you're driving, make sure to park at Sendai Station East Parking, as hotel guests get a special rate of 1500 yen per night. I, however, parked in a lot across the street where the sign said 1400 yen for 24 hours, but when I checked out the next day, it was 3200 yen – what a rip-off! The hotel bathroom was spacious and comfortable, and the bedding was excellent. The breakfast was decent. This is a hotel I'd definitely consider staying at again when visiting Sendai.

The ryokan location is excellent. My room has a huge picture window facing east. I can see the famous bay with its many islands, including the Fukuura island (福浦𡷊), in the morning with wonderful sun rise view. The Japanese breakfasts were excellent especially the one on our second day… fresh grilled fish, etc.. The Kaiseki dinners for both nights were wonderful with fresh grilled fish and high grade wagyu beef plus oyster cooked to perfection. The Onsens on the other hand are just Okay. However with the view of Fukuura island and its red bridge … nice.

The location is great although at first we went to the wrong side (at the East) as the hotel is actually located at the West. I was able to reach Sendai Jr Station within 10 minutes to catch the 1st train of Shinkansen to Akita. Not to mention the great breakfast, which features Sendai’s locally famous foods complete with explanatory notes. I also like the complete in-room amenities, which even include bath salts for the tub.

Hotel front desk staffs were all super friendly, able to communicate well in English, helpful and professional. We came to the front desk at 1pm (outside check in time) but the staff kindly let us check in early without even being asked. Our room was clean, has good layout, even though it feels a bit tight if you have multiple big luggages but that's typical for all business hotels in Japan. The hotel is close to Sendai station (5 mins walk) where you have endless food choices. There is a 7-11 right at the ground floor of hotel. Yodobashi shopping centre is just across the hotel where you can find large supermarket Lopia, Daiso, Uniqlo, GU, Matsukiyoshi, sport stores and everything else you need. I would happily stay in this hotel again if I got a chance to visit Sendai again.

Taking the bus or train to Sendai Station, the hotel isn't far from there, and it's super convenient for shopping, dining, and getting around. The hotel is right across the road from an observation deck. The hotel breakfast is excellent, and the rooms are very clean. They tidied up and restocked amenities every day, even though I was staying multiple nights and didn't really need daily housekeeping, which was still a nice touch.

Facilities: The in-room amenities are a bit dated, and for Chinese standards, the room is quite small, but thankfully it has everything you need. Cleanliness: It was clean, as is typical for Japanese hotels. Service: The service attitude was exceptionally good; they even called a taxi for us!

This hotel is supposedly the best in Sendai, so when I visited, I booked two nights to experience it. It's a bit far from Sendai Station, which isn't ideal if you're lugging luggage. We ended up taking a taxi from the station. Since we arrived before check-in, we were able to store our bags on the first floor. Later, after we checked in, a staff member brought them directly to our room. My room type offered a nice view, with a distant glimpse of the Great Kannon statue. The room itself was spacious, but it definitely felt old; many facilities are in need of repair and updating.
