Top Sendai Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel TKP Sendai-Ekikita

10/10 Excellent

"Smooth and seemless check-in/check-out. Room and everything was just as expected."

Sotetsu Fresa Inn Sendai

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, the property was perfect. I would consider Sotetsu Fresa Inn Sendai a more upscale Japanese business hotel. Room was clean and modern with a good selection of amenities. It's just a short walk from Sendai Station and conveniently located near many restaurants and shops. Unfortunately, breakfast is not complimentary but there are many breakfast options in the surrounding area. I found a cheap onigiri shop just around the corner from the hotel for just 150 yen each and the portions were generous, better than the ones at the convenience stores. There is also Asaichi Market, which I recommend taking a stroll through. "

APA Hotel Sendai Eki Itsutsubashi

10/10 Excellent

"The room was dark and quiet at night and the air conditioning meant I could cool the room down when needed, helpful during the unexpected heatwave. Staff were always helpful when I had any questions or requests. Having a convience store next to the hotel was great and only a 15 minute walk from the major train station."
