Dormy inn Sendaiekimae — Hotel in Sendai

This was probably the least comfortable hotel stay I have ever had. The AC unit only has on/off functionality. I wondered why my lungs and throat hurt so much after the first night. After examining the AC, I noticed that it was full of mold which was being spread throughout the room during operation. I chose not to use it after this, which made it uncomfortably hot (it was about +35 C/95 F during the day). The shower also had mold growing in it. After 3 nights, I requested a room change in the hopes that the hotel would find a room without a moldy AC. I showed the pictures, and they accommodated my request. The second room also had a mold AC, so I didn't use it (though the cleaning staff would turn it on during the day while I was out). At least the shower in the second room didn't have mold. The wifi in both rooms was almost non-functional. It cut out quite frequently making surfing and messaging a constant frustration. Oddly enough, I had trash that was placed in my room (see photo). I don't know how it got there, but, I suspect the cleaning staff accidentally left it behind. My advice - stay away from this place. It's not worth your health. While the lobby and halls look clean, that's about...

Stayed here for 5 nights whilst at a conference in Sendai. Firstly, through our third-party booking service myself and a collague requested a twin but were given a double, however we feel the third party internet site is to blame for this (or something was lost in translation) rather than the hotel. English spoken by the staff is minimal, but enough to get checked in and check out, pay the bill etc. The room is small but smart, nice shower and reasonably sized (by Japan standards). Breakfast was excellent if very varied (local speciality, grilled cow tongue, and fish as well as standard fare), and it's a short walk to the station and the town centre. The onsen is very quiet and pleasant - my first time in one! ||I'd recommend this hotel to visitors, but bear in mind it's probably not too distinct compared to many other business/functional...

There are three Dormy Inn in Sendai and they are not much different from one another. This one is a little closer from the JR station. Once you step out from the west exit gate on the 2/F of the station, turn right and walk towards Parco, turn left and take escalator down to street level, go straight and cross a main road, you should then see Dormy Inn next to a car park and in front of Toyoko Inn. Room is smartly designed with separated shower, toilet and sink area. Roof top hot spring, free use of washing machines and a wide selection of breakfast choices (yet mainly Japanese) are a plus. On the way from the station, there are many restaurant and shopping offerings. Family Mart is next to the hotel whereas 7 Eleven is opposite. Avoid Saturday and eve of Public Holiday to enjoy...
