Hostels in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan

VVery nice hostel in a good location near train station..Have an Onsen, microwave, hot water, a place to sit down and eat or working at your floor..not have a fridge. I came too early, because of my train from Tokyo (around 1.30 pm) and i need to wait until 3 pm for check in. Beds ready, clean ready...but need to waiting the check in time..and it'fair isn't. The only problem was they start check in process 5-7 mins before 3 pm and they was very slowly and not professional...my time for check in it was 3.15 pm if not more...one of the last check in there. And this happened especialy because one disrespectful girl, she was determined to delay the proceedings—even more than others already had. Ugly and disrespectful attitude, make me lose time everytime..she had and fun about this when i explain her i not appreciateher jokes. She, as well as all the others, either doesn't know how to speak English or doesn't want to... just simple words, like ”key.” I expected more from one hotel (or hostel) in Japan. I was disappointed with the choice of this hostel. It is very difficult to find the hotel without help, as its name is written only in Japanese. The bed is very hard; it feels like sitting or sleeping on a wooden plank.

The hotel was very clean and comfortable. I particularly appreciated how the bath and luggage storage areas were separate from the capsule area, which made for a much quieter and more restful stay compared to other similar facilities. There were also plenty of showers, sinks, and hairdryers, so I never felt like it was crowded. Another nice touch was that each guest received their own bath mat. This kept the changing rooms clean and dry, which was a pleasant surprise. My only minor complaint was that my capsule felt a bit cold. Even with thermal underwear under the provided loungewear, I woke up in the middle of the night because of the chill. It would be even more comfortable if blankets were available for rent or if the room temperature could be adjusted.

Sorry that I can’t take photos of the bath house - but it is amazing (especially the outdoor onsen and air bath)!!! The capsule units are in a temporary finish. Enjoyed it very much 😍

The staff's response and care were warm. Since I stayed at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, I was entertained at seasonal events such as Toshikoshi soba, New Year's Day, and Mochi making. (in the reservation of Trip.com, it was a little disappointing that the meal plan was not selected and the menu was different from other guests ...) It was also a very valuable experience to learn about the earthquake at the facility where the remnants of elementary schools remain. The walls of the room were thin so I could hear the sound of the next room quite a bit, but the view was good and the air conditioner and fan heater were prepared and comfortable.
