Hotel ROUTE INN di Sendai

I love this hotel so much. Room is super spacious and love the scent of this hotel once you step into this hotel. Walking distance to many places such as Sendai Morning Market , donki donki, Japanese local restaurants and Sendai Station ( a bit far ) If you didn’t book breakfast here is fine too, there are some restaurant nearby early in the morning for English Breakfast or to go. We drove our car here , however you need to pay JPY 1500 per day to park your car. Reception is at 26th floor so once you park your car you need to take lift to lobby and from lobby take another lift to reception check in.

Hotel is conveniently located near to shops and train station, making it easy to travel around and get your food/souvenirs. Furniture are well-maintained. Bathtub is small but deep enough for one to soak after a day of shopping and sightseeing.

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.

Excellent location, just a few minutes walk from Sendai station. Convenient to go anywhere. Shopping mall, restaurants around the hotel. Guest room is spacious, clean and tidy. We will definitely accommodate here when we visit Sendai again in future.

The hotel is very quiet and the service staff is very patient and friendly. If you come to shop, it is very suitable to stay here. There are several large shopping malls nearby selling all kinds of discounted brand-name clothing and shoes. The hotel also has many dining options, including Chinese food, Western food, teppanyaki, etc. There are also many restaurants and desserts in the mall, which is a perfect holiday choice.

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.

The room is of a good size and very clean. The breakfast is simple, a fusion of Japanese and Western styles, not pure Japanese style. It is one stop away from Sendai Station, and you can take the subway or bus. Facilities Large bath: two pools, no steam room. Facilities: Toiletries are available by the front desk.
