Independent, Tohoku hotels

"Good location, old school hotel"

"Good location right next to Aomori train station. The staff are very helpful on my request for early check-in with very reasonable extra costs. "

"Really nice and clean rooms. Onsen bath can be overcrowded at times. Think of 10-20 people in a relatively small onsen bath. As it is near the station, there are international travellers who may not understand the culture. There was a latino man with his half japanese child and they were chatting and talking very loudly. The 7-8 year old kid was splashing water around and swimming in the onsen bath. Otherwise, it was a really nice and pleasant stay. "

"Clean room, polite staff"

"Clean room, equipped with self-service laundry room, good breakfast "

"Great location in Center of town. Near excellent restaurants."

"The JR Metropolitan Hotel is excellent – and an excellent value for the money. The hotel is extremely convenient – right at the Sendai JR Main Station – but I’ve never found it noisy from the trains or otherwise. The rooms are clean and the service is excellent. The breakfast is decent – good enough to go with the convenience. However, as you are right at the Main JR station which includes an “SPAL” shopping area with many food choices, those who are a little adventurous will find many good (and less expensive) options. In sum, an excellent hotel where I look forward to staying again."
