Private cottage with natural hot springs and a dog / Kattagun Miyagi

Kattagun

"初めて利用しました私と妻、中学生の息子、小学生の娘、メス1歳のポメラニアン1匹と宿泊しました部屋もお風呂もキッチンもベッドもとても良かったです部屋も広くてゆったりできますペットの犬は初めての旅行で心配だったのですが安心して過ごせました外についてるドッグランも綺麗にされていて、初めてのドッグランも楽しめましたただ季節柄、立地柄、虫が多く、到着時に部屋に大きめのアブがいたので持参の殺虫剤にて駆除しました。スズメバチなども近くを飛んでいたのでジェットタイプの殺虫剤なども部屋に備え付けてくださると嬉しいですそれと蚊もかなりいて、だいぶ刺されたので虫除けを忘れずに準備する必要があると思います。ふつーの湯船ですが溜めるお湯が温泉なのは地味にポイントが高いです機会があればまた是非泊まりに伺いたいですね。"

Top Zao Hotel Reviews

Sendai Royal Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was excellent and the shopping next door was great."

Hotel Grand Bach Sendai

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was good. They come in a tray of small dishes (similar to kaiseiki) but served all at one go. There are pianist , flutist or organist playing music during breakfast, tea time and evening. Refreshments are provided at the lobby. It is 6 min walk from the JR station . I love the aroma of the lavender once you enter the building and also in the lift. Staff can speak English too. The onsen has music playing in the background. Had a wonderful stay there."

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Yamagata-ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"Daiwa Roynet is one of our favourite hotel chains in Japan due to their consistence in quality in services, bedroom, bathroom, meals, etc We stayed in this hotel in late May & were very happy with our choice. - Its location is perfect, close to everything. - Very helpful staff - Nice beddings, good / quiet aircond. We slept very well - We loved the clever bathroom layout. It's one of the nice features making this hotel chain our favourite - The set-meal breakfast was top notch We would stay in this hotel again in the future"

Hotel Monterey Sendai

6/10 Okay

"We've stayed at the Monterey hotel chain in various locations & a few times at this specific hotel. In the past, it's 5-star rated but this time, it could hardly 3 stars: - The room was dated & overdue for a renovation - Maintenance: the main door lock didn't work, we had to rely on the secondary latch to secure the door. - Staff helpfulness (or the lack of): on Tue 19/May around 07am, we asked a front desk lady to help us send our luggage via Yamato to the airport & were advised that it must be done at the train station. We did just that & learned that it could have been done from the hotel. - We stayed 4 nights & enjoyed breakfast the first 3 mornings on the 3rd floor. However, on the 4th morning Wed 20/May, the breakfast on the 5th floor was reeking with cigarette smell - the smoke was so strong impacting the quality of an otherwise very nice breakfast experience So far, whenever in Sendai, we'd try to book this hotel, but this experience has changed our position"
