Sendai Kokusai Hotel

Great hotel with modern touches/amenities. The staff is helpful and pretty friendly. English is somewhat manageable so that's a plus! The hotel is located in a great place with restaurants/malls just a 10 minute walk away. The rooms are very clean and they make sure you're well supplied with fresh towels/water/robes. Terrific value for money!! For the price I paid, I would have to stay in a wardrobe in Tokyo.

The hotel was easy to find and only about a 10 min walk from Sendai station. It’s a very nice, clean, well-stocked, large hotel, with a lot of very friendly and polite staff who are always available to answer any questions you may have. Even if you don't speak any Japanese, they have a handy little vocal translator device, that works perfectly! The lobby has a luggage storage area and they also have safety deposit boxes behind the front desk for anything that won’t fit in the safe in your room. There are 3 restaurants on site - including a breakfast area - although we didn’t have any occasion to use them. There’s also a handy vending machine in the lobby if you can’t make it to one of the 3 convenience stores across the street. The room is very well appointed, and it’s as described and a decent size for two people. We had a room with two twin beds, since we know that a Japanese double bed doesn’t fit us. I found the pillows to be uncomfortable - but it seems that's the standard type of pillow in accommodation in Japan. There are a fair amount of plug points and USB points in the room. And there’s enough space for multiple suitcases and bags. There’s a small closet which has enough space for your clothes – although depending on how long you’re staying, you may need to ask for a few more hangers. One of the things I really liked and appreciated very much in this hotel, is that the windows open for fresh air. It was great to be able to sleep with fresh air coming into the room. The bathroom is quite nice, and it was very nice to get a bathtub with a shower over it, instead of a wet-room like some other locations. Aside from the standard shampoo/conditioner/body wash, you also get a lot of toiletries for free. We were able to buy tickets for Sendai Loople Bus directly from the front desk of the hotel - again very handy.

I booked a single room around 5 months in advance at a very good price of ¥4xxx only. The staffs are friendly and helpful. This hotel is big. The restaurant on ground floor open for breakfast only. The room is newly renovated even though the hotel itself has been built for some years. The single room is spacious with all the amenities I need. Considering the price, it’s really a good deal in Sendai.

Excellent location, close to train station, post office, shops and restaurants. Very good breakfast, with fresh juices and fruit, and plenty of options (inc. cooked and continental-style breakfast). Reception was well staffed (never had to wait) and the staff were very helpful. The lobby area, breakfast room, and my room were all very spacious and clean - much appreciated. Cleaning staff were considerate and accommodating. Bed was comfortable, AC and blackout curains helped with a good night's sleep.

The location was great, next to Sendai Station and the popular district of Ichibancho. The room was comfortable and well-equipped, with a small fridge. Hot drinks and a water bottle were provided every day. There is a Family Mart right in front of the hotel.
