Hôtels près de Parc Kotodai, Sendai

The first thing I'll write about Richmond Hotel Premier Sendai Ekimae is the good location. It's right next to Aobadori Station, but there is only a stairway down. An elevator is located not too far away, and I'll get to that in the last part of this review. The lobby of the hotel has a nice ambience, and the hotel offers one complimentary drink and a complimentary bowl of soba noodles. Since the majority of hotel guests take advantage of these offers, the lobby and bar can be crowded during both day and night (until 22:00). The staff whom I interacted with, especially the young lady upon check-in, were all very friendly and helpful. Water coolers are available on each floor next to the elevators, so if it's late at night and you're out of water, you don't have to go far. This is a good service by the hotel. I really like the fact that from the ground level, you can take the elevator directly up to your room floor, bypassing the usually busy and crowded lobby. When it comes to sound insulation between rooms, unfortunately this was not too good. I was able to hear my neighbours banging their limbs, suitcases, clothes hangers etc. against the walls. I didn't really hear talking, but that's probably because my neighbours were Japanese and talked to each other in low tones (non-Japanese people should emulate this). As for noise from the streets, my room faced another building (which was what I requested), so I didn't hear much traffic noise. The shower temperature in my first room fluctuated badly. It would be hot for about 30 seconds, then it turned cold for a minute, then hot again for 15 seconds, then cold again for a long time. The hotel staff helped me switch to a different room, and the shower temperature in the second room was fine. The furniture in the rooms are a bit old, but that's not a big issue. The fridges on the other hand are too small and not cold, the hotel should purchase larger and better units. A nitpick of mine is having to use the television to choose the 'Do Not Disturb' sign for the cleaners. I'd much rather a switch next to the door, or the traditional sign to hang on the doorknob. I did not have breakfast at the hotel nor did I use any of the facilities, so I have no comment on those services. Overall, I had a good stay at this hotel and would recommend it to others. I hope that in the future the sound insulation between rooms can be vastly improved, and that the hotel can provide physical 'Do Not Disturb' signs or switches. Side note: If you have large luggage and need an elevator, you have to walk south just a little along Atagokamisugi-dori, and soon you'll see an elevator to the underground station. When you get into this elevator, get to the lowest level, and when walking to Sendai station via the underground passage, there is another elevator in an oddly-angled corner. Period of Stay: March 2026

L'hôtel est bien situé. L'entrée du métro à côté mène directement à la station JR. Il y a des ascenseurs et des escaliers mécaniques pour un accès facile. Il y a Xingbaba et 7-11 en bas, et à côté du marché du matin de Sendai, il y a encore quelques stands ouverts l'après-midi, où vous pouvez acheter des fruits frais. L'hôtel est assez récent, la disposition des chambres est raisonnable et ce n'est pas un problème d'étaler deux box de 24 pouces.

L'hôtel est super propre. Le linge est changé tous les jours et sent bon le frais et la propreté. Les serviettes Imabari sont fournies et leur utilisation est très confortable. L'hôtel dispose d'adaptateurs de charge universels et de deux ports USB pour recharger votre appareil photo et autres appareils. Le café est offert tous les jours de 15h à 23h et vous pouvez même commander des collations à déguster dans votre chambre. La sélection de programmes TV est incroyable. C'est tellement confortable que vous pourriez oublier d'explorer Sendai. Séjour très confortable et rapport qualité-prix imbattable.

La location est très bonne. 5 minutes à la gare de Sendai. Il y a une célèbre langue de viande grilleuse à travers l'hôtel. Il y a aussi un magasin de confort à proximité. Je pense que le blanchiment de pièces est si coûteux, il est 700 yen. La chambre est spacieuse et propre.

The location is excellent, very close to the station. Right behind the hotel, there’s a morning market with a fish market and plenty of delicious local food to try. The room is quite spacious and comfortable. There’s also a beer market with beer on tap nearby, a famous grilled beef tongue restaurant right next door, and an izakaya just across from the hotel, making it very convenient for food and drinks.

A very comfortable stay. The hotel is close to Sendai Station and there are several carparks nearby. It was also very convenient to have a FamilyMart next to the lobby on the ground floor. The laundry area is quite small and would have been nicer if there were more machines available. The dryer was unfortunately not very efficient. Service was great and the hotel was very clean. Rooms were of a good size. Would return.

C'était beau et beau. L'emplacement est bon, donc je suppose qu'on n'y peut rien, c'est un peu cher. Il y avait beaucoup de jeunes du coin, mais ils n'étaient pas bruyants et avaient de bonnes manières.

It is quite convenient to walk from the station to the hotel. Hotel rooms are quite clean and comfortable; hotel staff is helpful and polite. Free breakfast is nice and yummy.

Bon hôtel. Chambre spacieuse avec les commerces disponibles à côté.

We were two people during one night. It’s a little bit far from the station. But there’s a bus stop close by that goes to the station (190 yen in 2026). What I really liked was that the hotel have bikes (with a basket) you can use for free, just ask the receptionen (I only used it once for one hour, but it was good). The room was a bit spacious, clean and tidy. If you have a suitcase I think you can open it in the room. The bed and pillows were good. What I didn’t like was that they didn’t have hand soap or conditioner. They did have shampoo and body soap though. The staff was nice and friendly. The amenity was good as well. They didn’t have face wash and face cream, like many other hotels have. But they had the other usual things, so I don’t complain. When I booked this hotel on trip.com it said the check in is between 15-22, so I checked in before 22. But when I went to the reception 23, there were still people there, and they had a machine where it said check in and out. So maybe you can check in after 22? If you want to do that I would try to send a message or something and ask. Because it felt like it was ok to check in even after 22. Overall I think we had a good and nice stay at this hotel.
