5.0/10

I had a very disappointing stay at this hotel, which was touted as a beautiful seaside experience but turned out to be quite the opposite. It was more like a cheap, overhyped motel rather than a true ryokan. On the positive side, the sunrise views over Matsushima Bay were unforgettable, but the hotel’s overall aesthetics and cleanliness left much to be desired.

Rooms

5.0

The room was a letdown, with imitation tatami flooring that smelled stale and an overall uninviting ambiance. The beds were just standard mattresses on the floor, not what I expected for the price.

Service

5.0

Service was lacking; no mention of friendly or welcoming staff, and overall amenities felt neglected.

Location

5.0

While the location had the potential for stunning views, it was situated near industrial areas and required navigating through construction sites to access the beach.

Dining

5.0

I didn't enjoy the dining experience due to limited options and questionable cleanliness in eating areas.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities felt outdated and poorly maintained, particularly the outdoor soaking tub, which had a concerning odor.

6.8/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the rooms offer a stunning view of Matsushima Bay, which is truly unforgettable. However, the negative aspects overshadowed my overall impression, especially with cleanliness concerns and the lack of a genuine traditional atmosphere. It's certainly not worth the price I paid.

Rooms

9.0

The room I stayed in was magnificent, with an open-air bath outside and a balcony that overlooked the harbor. The view was breathtaking.

Service

7.0

The service was decent, but nothing stood out as exceptional.

Location

5.0

The hotel's location was quite isolated, requiring a lengthy walk to nearby attractions, which was inconvenient.

Dining

The dining options were good, though I found some dishes to be a bit exotic.
