Richmond Hotel Sendai — Hotel in Sendai

Given that It was my first time in Sendai, it took me quite a while to get the directions right. ||||If you are coming from the Shinkansen side of Sendai station, you can head towards the West Exit (A13 or A14) of the station. When you are on the Omiyage shops floor (2F) and there's a pedestrian bridge in front of you, walk towards your right side but just before the shops to find the lift in the corner - there's no escalators down the pedestrian bridge if you are carrying huge luggages. Once you are down on the 1st floor, there should be lockers & some parking lots. Then, start walking towards your right side, where you will pass by PARCO and the AER building before reaching a junction with a flyover. ||Continue to cross ahead, then you will see 3 low rise buildings and you can walk towards the extreme right side of the road beside the flyover. Just continue walking all the way straight until you see FAMILY MART to your right. Then you can cross the road and turn towards your left side to see a parking lot and the back of the Richmond hotel. The reception is on the 2nd level.||Actually, there is another route to get to the hotel, but it requires you to walk up the slope - again, not very good if you are carrying huge luggages.||||The lady at the front desk didn't seem to speak English so when we told her that we were able to speak Japanese, she was really relieved. To go up to the room floors, you will need to tap the room card at the lift - a value added security point. I was quite surprised that the twin room was rather spacious - enough to fit a 40 inch TV, two beds, two arm chairs and a table inside! That aside, since it was summer in Japan, I found mosquitoes and tiny moths in the room...also there was a used tissue paper which was not removed behind the lamp by the bed...||||I might consider some other hotels in future if I were to visit...

The hotel was just one stop with JR from the main station, or about 10-15 minutes by foot. It was also close to the famous covered market street called “Ichibancho Shopping Arcade” and AER building where you can go for a panoramic view of Sendai on the 31th floor for free. ||||Hotel staffs were very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was very clean and modern. Guests of hotel could have non-alcoholic beverages (including soft cream!!) every afternoon until 10pm at the restaurant next to the hotel lobby where breakfast was also served. We booked for standard double room and it was correct. It was clean, rather small (but common for Japanese hotels) but functional and quiet. ||||I would recommend this hotel for its location, cleanliness and...

The room is very quiet and clean. It is located on the 7th floor of the main building, facing the street and overlooking the distance. I really like it! ! Although the area is small, the facilities are all available, and all have very warm and detailed tips. I am very touched! In addition, the two things that make me happiest are: First, when I checked in, the front desk worked hard and patiently to communicate with me. Here, I sincerely wish the two young staff members success in their work and a happy life! Second, the gifts sent by my friends were already intact in my room when I checked in. This is really very considerate! ! Thank you very much for your service! ! I wish your store business is...
