*I don't want to add even 1★Used a year agoI stayed here because it was cheap with the Shinkansen package and it was close to the beef tongue shop I wanted to go to.However, it is far from Sendai stationSendai taxis only accept cash.Smells like cigarettes inside the car. It's surprisingly far away.Is it best to go by subway?The front desk is on the 6th floor, and you take another elevator to get to your room.When choosing the Shinkansen package, it was not possible to make it a non-smoking room (now it is possible), so it was a smoking room.It definitely stinks. patience.There are noisy drunk people outside.Subway entrance is in front of the hotelI had to check out by 12:00, so I went to bed thinking I could relax.Sounds of cleaning and doors opening and closing from 8:30amWhen I try to sleep againThe door to my room rattles.The door opened.She was a cleaning lady.picture? Can I open the room you're staying in?I was apologizing, but what? Can you open it?Do you offer a [no cleaning card] even if you are not staying for consecutive nights?Not possible.I immediately got ready and headed out.I regret that I couldn't say anything at the front desk.I complained to the tour company that provided the Shinkansen package, but there was no apology or anything.If you are staying overnight, please be sure to lock your door.

Although it has the name of a main street, the hotel is small. It seems like they only use the upper floors of the rental building, with the reception desk on the 6th floor and a lobby that is smaller than a capsule hotel. Since it was 4,000 yen for a reasonable room, I knew that even if I opened the window, I would only be able to see the wall of the building next door, and since I chose this hotel with the intention of using the nearby public bath, I didn't mind the smallness of the unit bath. However, the washlet in the toilet was broken, which was unacceptable.

This hotel is close to Kokubuncho. I think it would be easier to use the subway to get there from Sendai Station. I'm glad there are so many comics.

Stayed as a relay base for the Jozenji Street Jazz FestivalClose to the main venue, convenient for restrooms, charging, and rest.You can use the outlet even when you are not there, there is no wired LAN, the Wi-Fi is weak, the room is old but clean, the entire building is air conditioned so it may be inconvenient during the change of seasons, the front desk is on the 6th floor and you need to transfer to get to the room

The guest room is extremely small, especially since the unit bath is quite old-fashioned, making it difficult for a man with a good physique.Well, if you just want to sleep, there's no problem, it's quite quiet and comfortable. Drink vending machines on each floor are also set at low prices, so there's no need to go outside to buy them.

the bed is widehoweverThe reception is on the 6th floor and there is one elevator.Wait times may be longThe air conditioning and heating are all controlled so you can't operate them in your room. It was hot and painful. Mosquitoes came in when I opened the window.Everything else is fine

Although it is old, it has been cleaned.The room this time was very small and difficult to use.I brought a hair dryer with me, but there was no outlet in the sink and the only way to use the mirror was with the octopus legs behind the TV.Also, there is no natural light to apply makeup.It's dark under the lights because it's above the mirror. The washroom is also dark, so it's not suitable for people who wear makeup.It may be a matter of taste, but the toothpaste was bad.

The guest room was fine for 3 adults in a Japanese style room. Unfortunately, there is no coffee service in the morning. Other than that it was good
