Hotel Keihan Sendai

The room size is just right, adequate for 2 persons stay with quite a lot of luggage for our long trip. I didn't like the small windows but it does the job. The toilet was a bit weird even for Japanese standard as the wash basin was outside of the toilet and shower area. It did get a little used to but overall the room work perfectly for our 2-night stay. The area is very close to the Clis road, aka Sendai walking street and the Sendai station was about 7 mins walk away. The check-in and check-out was pretty seamless.

The room I stayed in was extremely spacious, which isn't common with my experiences of hotels in Japan. The hotel was clean and seemed to have quite modern technology with a touchscreen electronic device controlling the cooling settings etc. In the lobby, the amenities bar provided various items including toothbrushes, moisturising cream, cotton swabs and bottles of water could be collected from the reception. I had an extremely pleasant experience with the staff. I needed to make a phone call to the next hotel I was staying at to alter my booking and one of the staff members happily called for me and assisted, even with the language barrier. A very inviting and comfortable hotel to stay at!

It was excellent value for money. We stayed a week and it was close to the Sendai station and many restaurants and shopping options. The staff was always friendly and there was free bottled water every day we could take on the road. Also liked that the bathroom was separated from the sink area so we could use them separately to be more efficient in the mornings and nights.

Centrally located, clean and comfortable. The size of the room and bed was pretty generous by Japanese standards. Good shower. Appreciated the no-frills eco clean option for our room. The staff spoke little English but were courteous and eager to help when needed. Parking overnight was available on-site at a reduced rate of 1300 JPY.

The hotel is centrally located in Sendai only a few hundred meters from the central train station, and a few blocked from the major shopping areas. We were able to find very good restaurant choices within easy walking distance. The hotel provides a coffee / hot chocolate machine, but it is only available between 2-7pm. All needed amenities are provided and the room was very comfortable. The staff was very accommodating and held our baggage for a few hours both prior to check-in and following check-out.
