Top Matsushima Hotel Reviews

Hotel Monterey Sendai

"Clean room, great location next to the station."

Sendai Royal Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Bed is little bit hard. Except this, everything satisfied. Breakfast is really good and tasty."

Sendai Kokusai Hotel

8/10 Good

"It is near the Sendai station. It’s very convenient and travel easily. We have a nice trip."

Richmond Hotel Premier Sendai Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"The extras like cooked noodles in the evening. Ease of check in, check out."

Hotel & Spa TOPOS Sendai Station - Caters to Men

8/10 Good

"A good place if only in Sendai for a couple days or planning to traverse the city more than stay in hotel. Expected thin walls between capsules but not between floors. Was on 1F (bottom bunk) & could hear EVERYONE walking around in bathroom above on 2F. Also the pillows are myeh!! You can ask for more for free but still not great. Worst part. Checkout is at 10am. However they close the whole onsen including ONLY showered facilities at 9:30am. So if you want to do a later shower before checkout….out of luck. Not guest friendly!"

Sendai Washington Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"近仙台車站交通方便。一樓旁就是全家便利商店，每層樓有飲水機可以裝，房間、浴室大小再日本算是可以，櫃檯工作人員態度親切，很棒的經驗，會想回住。'"

Komatsukan Kofutei

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful staff and location is incredible."

Matsushima Ichinobo

10/10 Excellent

"Ichinobo is a fantastic hotel with hot spring onsen facilities. We chose a room with a private open-air, full-sized immersion bath and it was well worth the extra price. The ocean and garden view from our private bath was magnificent and the bath area was designed for complete privacy so we could use the lounge reclining seats with complete freedom. We were concerned about the buffet-style dining because we expected a cafeteria-style setup with mediocre food, but it was completely different. There were many stations where various foods were prepared rapidly on request. The quality of the ingredients was very high, with the best fish, like toro, local delicacies, like beef tongue or rock oysters. The variety was wide as were the types (Japanese, French). The alcoholic beverages were included and noteworthy were the high quality and selection of the offerings which ranged from ginjo sake to French and Spanish reserve wines. The bar was open from 9.30 am to 8.30 pm and at night there was live music to enjoy with after-dinner drinks. Matsushima has many sights to see and everything is relatively close. Still, it was very nice to have the free shuttle buses for transport to and from the train station and to the dock area for the boat rides to see the famous pine tree covered islands. My partner and I had a wonderful time and recommend the Ichinobu highly."

Breezbay Seaside Resort Matsushima

8/10 Good

"Hotel that is tailored to Japanese families weekends, bit weird for western traveler but it is clean and friendly. They have nice BBQ on the balcony that I would recommend to try."
