Hotel Metropolitan Sendai

Hotel Metropolitan Sendai

10/10 Excellent
"It is right beside the Sendai Station, making it a perfect choice for travellers using the Shinkansen and other trains including the one linking the city and the Sendai Airport. Front desk staff are helpful and friendly. Hotel looks impeccably clean and tidy, thanks to the housekeeper staff. We had a very pleasant stay."
