駅前好立地
大浴場があるのでこちらを選んだ。浴場は申し分なし。施設全体的に清潔に保たれていたが、割と新しい系列のホテルと比較して少し古く感じた。 全室ではないと思うが、部屋の壁に傷が目立っていたので快適さには影響ないと思うが気になる人は目障りかも。 オートロックなし。室内換気扇の音が気になる。

Love the Route-Inn Ekimae
This hotel is very nice and convenient. It was close to the location where the Christmas concert took place. This was the second time I stayed at this hotel and really enjoyed it!

Thank you for staying at Route Inn Aomori Station. As it is right in front of Aomori Station, it is a hotel's strength not to cause any inconvenience. The bathroom is a bit smaller for business use. There is a large communal bath on the second floor, so I'm glad if you can use that next time. From　Front Clark Haga

The staff are generally nice, the breakfast provided is good. However, room conditions are not good. Most important is that there are bed bugs. I got a few bites. The rooms themselves have some random damages and wear.

Aomori surprise
What a lovely hotel! We had to get out of an uninhabitable situation, and in our haste to find something, we inadvertently booked a one person room for 2 people. There we no other available rooms in the area, so they let us stay in the room together for a small extra charge. We are very grateful for their understanding and hospitality. We loved the room, the public bath and delicious breakfast. It was very convenient, right across from the train station. The staff at the front desk were very welcoming and kind, despite our limited Japanese. And the Nebuku museum is right across the street. Not to be missed. If we ever get to Aomori again, we would definitely stay here. 4 stars!

Good enough, but nothing to write home about.
Hate to say it this way, but for a Japanese hotel, it was pretty good. It wasn't the best I've stayed in, but also not the worst. I had a double bed room, so the size wasn't an issue. The bed was the customary hard Japanese bed, but there was some thin mattress topper that made it a bit softer. The bathroom was the typical plastic cruise ship style, and was probably the weak link of the room because it just felt old (but clean). The breakfast was completely traditional Japanese, which was fine, but got old after several days with very little variation.

Convenience for cheap
Super convenient location, just meters from Aomori station. Bear in mind that if you are arriving via the shinkansen (bullet train) you will need to take the local orange line train in to the main Aomori station. The desk clerk spoke English, the wifi was strong (so much so that I still had a connection the next block over!) and the complimentary breakfast was delicious. Slippers and sandals are provided as well. Expect a very firm mattress (typical in Japan) and people above 6' (I'm 6'1") will be a tight fit for the room's little desk. Make sure to check out the Nebuta Museum while you're in town!

never again
The location is convenient to the train station but I could not sleep because the beds have no cushioning. It was like sleeping on a wooden platform. The room & bathroom were also extremely small, and the maid didn't change the cups out everyday. She left them dirty in the room. Even the Onsen has issues: The combination to open the door didn't work, there's no soap to wash your hands at the sinks, and the hair dryer barely blows. During breakfast we had to stand in a long line that snaked around the lobby and it wasn't even that good.

Excellent location, great value!
"Ekimae" means in front of the train station and it is! Walk right out the station and there's your hotel. Our room had a view of the station and the famous bridge. One blockfrom A-Market (good food, excellent view), the Nebuta Museum (muse see) and walking distance to most downtown locations. Easy transfer from Aomori Station to Shin-Aomori where you catch the Shinkansen (bullet train) back to Tokyo.

Don't Stay Here! Find a different hotel!
I've been to Japan multiple times and understand small rooms. This was smaller than Japan's standards. Hotel was very old and very small. Room was maybe 10' x 12'. Bed was hard as a rock! Sleeping on the floor would have been more comfortable. Bathroom was tiny and used large bottles of soap and shampoo, which were spoiled. Almost threw up while taking a shower when applying shampoo from the bottle.

A basic Japanese business hotel in Aomori
This hotel was a simple and cheap one night stopover on the way from Sapporo to Tokyo by train. Very close to Aomori JR Station and near the sea for a pleasant evening walk. The hotel is a typical Japanese business hotel with no frills at all. However, and as usual, the place is clean, comfortable and cheap. The breakfast buffet is Japanese only but that is not a problem for me, others may find it a problem.

Handy location
Super convenient to railway station—it's the first thing you see as you walk out the main station door. Despite its location, it is very quiet in the room for sleeping. The breakfast buffet was OK. It is a short walk to a main street with lots of shopping and eating opportunities. You walk by the Tourist Informaton Center on your way from the station to the hotel.
