Sendai Hotels with Gym

Convenient hotel Not far from Kotodai Koen subway station, close to shopping and restaurants. Coffee, ice, toiletries are provided. And the most convenient The hotel is next to 7-11 .

The hotel is modern and the room is larger by Japanese standard. As practised by most hotels, amenities like toothbrushes and tea bags can be taken from the reception counter. The hotel has thoughtfully provided small plastic bags for customers to bag the amenities though I see this as counter to their green efforts. There is a laundry room, but the wash may not be thorough as my clothes did not come out smelling fresh.

Service is great, but compared to the price, I was expecting more from the hotel. The rooms are pretty average, the breakfast isn’t as good as advertised, and it’s mostly fish based dishes. In comparison there are cheaper hotels around Sendai with similar meal and room options. I was quite disappointed, as there are no cutlery in your room incase you want to mix coffee, or eat a takeout. Better you bring your own cutlery. Location is very good and walking distance to Sendai station.

My wife and I have traveled to Japan many times and stayed at the Richmond Hotel for the first time. After staying for six days and five nights, we decided that we would choose this brand first wherever we go in Japan! Let me share with you the following points: 1. It is very close to the station. You can reach the door within five minutes of walking with your suitcase after exiting the station. There is a FamilyMart convenience store next to the first floor. I really like the simple and elegant feeling of the entrance on the first floor of the hotel. 2. We booked a double room, which was of medium size. The room equipment was well maintained. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. When we walked out of the elevator, we felt the air quality was good. The entire corridor to the outside of the room door also felt very comfortable. 3. We lingered over breakfast and midnight snacks. The food was delicious and the service staff made us feel at home. We sincerely thank them. 4. The cleaning service staff will not make people feel intrusive, and they will have a good attitude when meeting people in the corridor, and will not make people feel uneasy (I personally attach great importance to this)

The room is very good, with toilet, bathroom and bedroom separated. There are many restaurants around, and it is within walking distance to Sendai Morning Market and Sendai Station. There are only two options for breakfast, pasta and omelette rice, not a buffet.

Great hotel in a fantastic location within walking distance to JR central train station with limited car parking facilities directly behind the hotel and next to a local train station (which we forgot the name of the station as we rented a vehicle). If you drive to the hotel and decided to use the hotel car park (subject to availability), the hotel will charge you ¥1500.00 per night with unlimited entry and exit within the next 24 hours. Of course there are plenty of other car parks nearby too which offers cheaper rate for parking but you’ll have to hunt around or just pay the ¥1500 for the convenience. The onsen (indoor only no outdoor and the water is milky) is located on the 2nd floor which is the same floor with the hotel only restaurant which offers buffet breakfast. The gender separated onsen closes at midnight and won’t be opened till 9am the next day so you’ll need to time yourself well. There is a laundry and dryer self service facilities with vending machines and complimentary ice making machine on the 2nd floor for your convenience. Breakfast is a typical western and Japanese affairs however you won’t be left hungry. Service is of typical Japanese affairs where you will be greeted each time you walk past the reception. The hotel encourages you to pick up tea bags, onsen body scrubs, tooth brushes, combs etc next to the ground floor lifts before you head up to your room. If you stay more than a day but less than 3 days, the hotel won’t provide room service but they’ll gladly change the towels and clear the bins for you. We are allocated to a smallest room on 11th floor (room:1106) facing the Yodobashi multi story car park, so request for any middle rooms facing the train station would get you a bigger a better view. Comfortable stay and nice bed and good bathroom and for the price we pay, we have no complain.

Location is great, very close to the East exit of the train station. Good size room but housecleaning is a bit sloppy. Found hair on the bed and an unwanted hair band on the floor the day when we checked in. The front desk was very apologetic about it. Overall we are satisfied with the stay.
