Top Zao Hotel Reviews

Sendai Royal Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel looked amazing and is very clean"

Hotel Monterey Sendai

6/10 Okay

"We've stayed at the Monterey hotel chain in various locations & a few times at this specific hotel. In the past, it's 5-star rated but this time, it could hardly 3 stars: - The room was dated & overdue for a renovation - Maintenance: the main door lock didn't work, we had to rely on the secondary latch to secure the door. - Staff helpfulness (or the lack of): on Tue 19/May around 07am, we asked a front desk lady to help us send our luggage via Yamato to the airport & were advised that it must be done at the train station. We did just that & learned that it could have been done from the hotel. - We stayed 4 nights & enjoyed breakfast the first 3 mornings on the 3rd floor. However, on the 4th morning Wed 20/May, the breakfast on the 5th floor was reeking with cigarette smell - the smoke was so strong impacting the quality of an otherwise very nice breakfast experience So far, whenever in Sendai, we'd try to book this hotel, but this experience has changed our position"

Hotel Grand Bach Sendai

10/10 Excellent

"Book here if you want a modern, clean "western" style hotel that punches above it's weight. Insane value. Clean rooms, and lots of amenities with a nice public bath on the top floor. Very polite and helpful staff with an organist who plays in the lobby during midday. High quality breakfast. Afternoon snacks and a small evening meal (9:30pm) are included. The construction is very new and well maintained. Would recommend, even the more basic accomodations I selected were better than I expected."

Hotel Keihan Sendai

10/10 Excellent

"Check in staff were helpful and efficient. The room was clean and comfortable all toiletries were provided. Hotel was very centrally located and about 10-15 minute walk straight up from station to back entrance. Breakfast was excellent and staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again. "
