Higashimatsushima Vacations from NT$16,350

Great value. They were able to accommodate my food allergy for breakfast in the morning, and were very kind to us. Hotel has a smoking room, washer and dryer, and a beer vending machine. What more could you ask for? We had a great experience. Well-kept hotel, great amenities.

Rather like taking a Ryokan experience and superimposing a luxury spa. We did not even manage to get our bags into the entry without having a young attendant in kimono insist upon her loading them into a luggage cart and bringing them inside for us. Staff had very little English but made every effort to make our sign-in seamless. We had a traditional tatami room, which was more like a small house in scale. The onsen experience was delightful. Breakfast and dinners we took in the Japanese restaurant, all top quality. We were the only non-Japanese guests (at least, we never saw any others). Our room had traditional floor seating but also a sitting area next to the balcony with regular chairs/table, lovely view and very quiet (at least until the buses started their motors in the morning).

We had a wonderful stay at the Hotel Monterey Sendai. It has an old world charm, and the spa on the top floor is delightful. It is very close to the central train station and in a fantastic part of the city. Highly recommend the hotel- we would definitely stay there again.

Luxurious traditional hotel experience in downtown sendai - could not have been happier. - Transport: subway entrance 10 steps from the front door, one stop away from main station. Main shopping streets just one or two blocks away. - Food: impeccable traditional japanese breakfast. Izakayas and great food options within a short walk. - Accommodations: Beautiful onsen on the top floor - I used it daily. Entire hotel is no-shoes 👍. Rooms mix traditional tatamis with modern bedding.

A wonderful experience in a quiet area with exteremeky easy access to shopping, food and the train station. Highly recommend!
