Top Zao Hotel Reviews

Hotel Metropolitan Sendai East

10/10 Excellent

"This is the second time I've stayed here and it was wonderful. I love being in the station, close to the train lines and great restaurants. The room was spacious for two people and very clean. We were lucky to be on a floor with the laundry machine and didn't have to fight to use it, but there was only 1 machine on the floor so watch out. Great place, will probably always stay here when in Sendai."

Hotel Keihan Sendai

10/10 Excellent

Richmond Hotel Premier Sendai Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"Great property location near everything."

Hotel Monte Hermana Sendai

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel can access to Sendai station with pedestrian deck."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Sendai

10/10 Excellent

"Thank you for pleasurable 3 night stay.What an amazing hotel, fantastic staff very helpful and polite. Very clean,great location for everything, would definitely stay again."

Hotel Metropolitan Yamagata

10/10 Excellent

"Simple. Easy. Convenient. Love the convenience of being right next to Yamagata station. Self check in and check out are convenient and easy to manage. Friendly and helpful staff. Always carry a big smile when answering my questions. Thank you for a pleasant stay."

Sendai Royal Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location of the hotel is perfect, nestled between the historical sites for those wanting to learn a little more about Japan's history and the mall for avid shoppers. The weather in Sendai is beautiful in August...I was pleasantly surprised given this is one of the hottest month in Japan. Trees, thank goodness for this city of trees - bringing one closer to nature. Everywhere we walked, nature sounds were intense, so easy to forget this sound when one has spent too much time in the city. The hotel is beautiful and gave off the air of old European style, very easy to get lost in this hotel. The attendants to the front door personnel to the housekeeper were very kind and pleasant to speak. The rooms were very clean and provided necessary amenities such as toothbrush, wash towel, and facial care packet. I think the only thing that would be hopeful for female guests an extra towel for hair care (i.e drying) is helpful. Otherwise, the staff were very helpful and efficient. Breakfast at the hotel was delicious, offering a variety from Eastern (Japanese) cuisine to Western choices. I think the only suggestion for Sendai is possible offer some meat/beef options aside from the beef tongue stew which is delicious but a little more selection would be delightful. Otherwise, Sendai is a perfect hidden gem of Japan that is worth visiting."
