Sendai Royal Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This property is about a 30 min taxi from Sendai Station, with a free shuttle bus service to and from the hotel to Sendai Station (which takes around 45min-1 hour). Although the location might not be the most convenient, the slight distance away from the city centre does make this truly feel like a getaway! Super peaceful and quiet area to really relax and have some down time. The property is elegant, classic and beautifully maintained. We stayed in a garden terrac"

"Everything was excellent, very clean, all staff polite and helpful, the room was cleaned daily with fresh towels and nightwear. The breakfast was extensive, the only minor point was that the 'european' food was served cold (bacon, sausages and scrambled eggs)"

Hotel Metropolitan Sendai East

10/10 Excellent
"My wife is a Sendai native so we come twice a year on average and have stayed in many hotels. This was hands down our favorite stay to date. The location is fantastic, incredibly convenient with all the shopping including retail, restaurants, pharmacy, grocery and atms including two 7/11 ATM floor two at the bottom of the elevator just around the corner for US visitors. You do not have to leave shelter to get to all trains and most subways. The hotel room itself was amazing, great views, comfortable beds and a great bathroom with a jetted tub on the premium room we booked that was a nice improvement for us over the public baths some hotels offer. The lounge was great for relaxing and getting a free coffee. The staff were all polite and offered excellent service, room service requests for amenities were almost Mr. Deeds fast lol, if you know you know. This will be our one and only from now on when visiting family in Sendai. Thank you for an incredible stay."
