Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Hotel Sokan

Title: A Disappointing Stay at Sendai's 大江户温泉物語松島温泉壯觀酒店 I recently had the misfortune of staying at the 大江户温泉物語松島温泉壯觀酒店 in Sendai, and I must say that my experience left much to be desired. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this hotel was not up to par with my expectations. First and foremost, the location of the hotel was rather lackluster. Situated in Sendai, I had hoped for a scenic and picturesque view of the surrounding area, but instead, I was greeted with a rather uninspiring landscape. The hotel's proximity to attractions and amenities was also quite inconvenient, as it required a fair amount of travel to reach any notable destinations. The staff at the hotel were far from friendly or accommodating. Their lackadaisical attitude and indifference towards the guests were disappointing, to say the least. Requests for assistance or information were met with apathy, leaving me feeling ignored and unimportant. It is evident that the staff lacked the proper training in customer service and hospitality. The accommodations themselves were subpar and in dire need of renovation. My room was outdated, with worn-out furnishings and a general sense of neglect. The cleanliness standards were questionable, and I encountered several maintenance issues throughout my stay. The lack of attention to detail and upkeep was simply unacceptable. In terms of dining options, the hotel fell short yet again. The on-site restaurant served mediocre food with limited choices. The quality of the meals was average at best, failing to impress even the most casual of diners. The lack of variety and flavor left me disappointed and longing for better culinary experiences. Furthermore, the overall ambiance of the hotel was lacking. The atmosphere was dull and devoid of any character or charm. The common areas felt neglected and poorly maintained, further contributing to the overall sense of dissatisfaction. In conclusion, my experience at the 大江户温泉物語松島温泉壯觀酒店 was far from satisfactory. The lackluster location, indifferent staff, outdated accommodations, underwhelming dining options, and overall lack of care and attention to detail made for an unenjoyable stay. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a pleasant and memorable experience in Sendai.

I made a reservation with the Shinkansen package. I couldn't choose the view when making the reservation, but I got a room right in front of the sea. It was a very cold day, so the room was pre-heated and comfortable. The bath in the evening was quite nice, but unfortunately it became lukewarm at night. It may be difficult for elderly people to go up the stairs to the open-air bath. The hot spring water does not get cold easily, making it a good hot spring during the cold months. The food is quite substantial for the price. I think all hotels in Oedo Onsen Monogatari are working hard on this.

There is a buffet for dinner and a live kitchen service that provides freshly prepared food. The steak staff here was terrible. First of all, even though there were customers waiting, the food was served at a slow speed, without asking how many pieces there were, and just handing it over without a word. I have stayed at various Oedo Onsen hotels, but this was the first time something like this had happened to me. Also, when a child tried to get more than one ticket, they were told that they couldn't give that much and were made to skip their turn. From the beginning, if it had written something like ``XX tickets per person, please,'' I would have complied, but I had not written anything. I was surprised that it was an all-you-can-eat buffet.

I enjoyed the hot springs and meals. I think it can't be helped that the building is old, but I recommend improving the smell in the room, especially the toilet smell near the entrance.

Reserve a 10-tatami Japanese-style room in Takagikan with two meals. We are a family of three with children. The room was spacious enough for a family of three. In addition, we have prepared a room with a good view overlooking Matsushima Bay. At the buffet, you can enjoy Sendai's specialty dishes. Desserts are abundant and the whole family is satisfied. The staff were very friendly and quickly prepared a high chair and food for my toddler. You can pick up and drop off at Matsushima Station, Matsushima Kaigan Station, and the rest house, so there is no problem even if you do not have a car. This is a recommended inn for traveling to Matsushima.
