Top Downtown Sendai Hotel Reviews

Sotetsu Fresa Inn Sendai

10/10 Excellent

"Staff polite & helpful.Room clean quiet & conveniently located"

Hotel JAL City Sendai

10/10 Excellent

"The room was better than the other hotels I’ve been to so far. The amenities were already in the room so we didn’t have to grab them on the way to our room (sometimes we forget). The entrance was surprisingly fancy and I’m surprised I haven’t heard much reviews from this hotel because it’s definitely my new favorite when staying in Sendai. Will stay again."

Hotel & Spa TOPOS Sendai Station - Caters to Men

8/10 Good

"A good place if only in Sendai for a couple days or planning to traverse the city more than stay in hotel. Expected thin walls between capsules but not between floors. Was on 1F (bottom bunk) & could hear EVERYONE walking around in bathroom above on 2F. Also the pillows are myeh!! You can ask for more for free but still not great. Worst part. Checkout is at 10am. However they close the whole onsen including ONLY showered facilities at 9:30am. So if you want to do a later shower before checkout….out of luck. Not guest friendly!"
