    Comfortable but somewhat dated hotel

    The hotel in general feels quite dated - our room could do with a repaint and some refurbishing. Everything was comfortable and mostly clean, but was definitely showing signs of age.

    Very comfortable beds and pillows, nice staff, and reasonably well located (not far from the station and an easy walk to see the sights of Yamagata). Breakfast was also nice and had a reasonable variety. The room and bed were also definitely on the larger side compared to many Japanese hotel rooms!

    A nice hotel, with quick access to Yamagata station. Everything is very clean and the breakfast was great with a variety of Japanese breakfast items. The room was clean, but somewhat older, but all worked as it should. Only the airconditioning produced warm air instead of cold, but we didn't need it anyway 😅

    The furniture in the room was quite old and looked a bit „worn out“. But it was still very cosy!

    We had a Japanese style room including tatami. It was a great experience staying in that kind of traditional room. Everything was clean and we missed nothing during our stay. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was extraordinary good: It was Japanese style and all the small dishes were extremely tasty. Try the imoni soup!

    The rooms are rather small and dated. There is very little closet space, meaning your clothes need to remain in your suitcase, which is would be awkward for a longer stay. The rooms need an update. The ensuite bathroom is tiny but functional.

    Good healthy breakfast with plenty of options. Coffee machine provided decent freshly ground coffee. Super friendly staff.

    The air in the room is quite dry, making it hard to sleep. The humidifier they provide helps reduce this, but I still wake up with a headache

    Great location, located close to train station and the bus terminal. There are nice restaurants around, which may take just a couple of minutes to reach, offering some of the most interesting dishes in the region. The staff were nice too, and there weren’t too many complications when checking in and out.

    The whole hotel has to be the same aircon temp & it was very hot while we were there so we had to have the window open at all times letting air in. They didn’t have any small fans to lend out either.

    The staff were so helpful & kind, very clean and easy to get to.

    The hotel room is a bit dated and the Bathroom entrance is set higher than the rest of the room so approach with care and lack of charging points.

    The hotel room was very comfortable, clean and spacious for 3 Adults, Staff were very helpful and offered great recommendations for restaurants, I also had issues receiving my language from my pervious hotel and the front desk staff really went out of their way to assist me and organized to forward my language to my next hotel when it arrived after I checked out. Parking on site since we hired a car, the car rental place just around the corner so very convenient.

    Need to be careful while getting in and out of the bathroom due to the big different in height.

    Room is quite spacious, enough space to walk around and lay out our luggage. Ample electric sockets, and good WiFi. Furniture a bit dated but kept clean. We got a room on its top floor with a great view. Wasn't that many dishes for it buffet breakfast, possibly due to the lack of guests, but still it's good enough. Hotel staff are extremely courteous, be it at the reception, or inside the restaurant. There's a Mitsukoshi mall next to the hotel, with a supermarket and drug store. It's about 10 min's leisurely walk from Yamagata Station, and in between you'll pass by some restaurants and convenience stores. Not really that close to the station, but the room rate is generally cheaper that some others around.
