Sendai Washington Hotel

Sendai Washington Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"It was a great hotel all around. Only 5 mins from Sendai Station. The buffet breakfast was good (not a huge choice though but it’s good enough) and the staff replenished the food quite often. The bathroom shower / bath is relatively big. It’s very good value for money!"
