Value The Hotel Sendai Natori

“A bit far but good value for complementary breakfast”

This second story hotel is a bit far from the city centre. It takes 30 min from Minami Sendai Station or Natori Station if you walk. A hotel room is a typical business hotel room. It was new but acceptable. Breakfasts are complimentary, but you can take food until you are full. Several large tour … lisää

This second story hotel is a bit far from the city centre. It takes 30 min from Minami Sendai Station or Natori Station if you walk. A hotel room is a typical business hotel room. It was new but acceptable. Breakfasts are complimentary, but you can take food until you are full. Several large tour groups stayed during my stay. Some construction works also stay. If there were big hot-spring, onsen, it would be awesome.

“Large hotel with many rooms, good for large groups”

This is an interesting hotel constructed out of used shipping containers. The rooms are smallish but quite functional. The bathrooms are little a cramped for large people.

This is an interesting hotel constructed out of used shipping containers. The rooms are smallish but quite functional. The bathrooms are little a cramped for large people. Checkin was efficient and the attendant spoke enough English to do the job. It is located a taxi drive away from the train station so not convenient unless you are driving. This hotel caters to workers involved in rebuilding Sendai following the disaster of 3/11. Breakfast was good but more like a cafeteria reflecting its primary clientele. Being winter, and perhaps related to the steel construction, the floor was cold, although heating was was adjustable. The internet was fast.

“A Good Emergency Option”

I only ended up here as I had made the school boy error of not booking ahead on a Saturday night in Sendai (when the place is booked out). It's about a 10-15 train ride from Sendai station, and then a 20 minute walk/¥1,500 taxi ride from the station, or a ¥4,000 taxi ride from the centre of Sendai.… lisää

I only ended up here as I had made the school boy error of not booking ahead on a Saturday night in Sendai (when the place is booked out). It's about a 10-15 train ride from Sendai station, and then a 20 minute walk/¥1,500 taxi ride from the station, or a ¥4,000 taxi ride from the centre of Sendai. Either way, it's not that convenient for the city, but it is pretty good for the airport. This is one of those freight container hotels, and is thus quirky for about 10 seconds, after which the reality of a bland, non-descript, poorly sound proofed reality emerges. Clean, well-maintained and functional is the best that can be said. Breakfast was extremely average. In terms of price, it was not good value for money given its location; Toyoko Inn or a Dormy Inn close to Sendai station would be around the same price. In summary, only worth considering if there are no other options in Sendai, or if you have an early flight, or if for some reason you find yourself in Natori.
