Reception at 5 pm was efficient and I didn’t have to wait. Street level provides access to two lifts that take you to the second floor reception area.
Wifi worked well and the air conditioning was good especially in the cold weather. Rooms are not huge but adequate size. I booked a larger room of which there are a few.
House keeping was also good, though guests need to request daily services by placing a card on the room door otherwise daily service is not provided. The two lifts can be slow especially during busy times such as morning checking out.
The location is good being about 15 minutes walk from the main Shinkansen station. Being in a built up area there aren’t any views of parks etc. The hotel is five minutes walk to the covered main shopping mall-street which are common in Japan. There are major shopping malls in the central train station area.
There are also many nearby restaurants that should suit most people’s budget and type of food. Beef tongue is a specialty in Sendai and many restaurants offer it at various prices.
Buses and subway stations are nearby and provide access to various parts of the city. There are several attractions within 30 minutes of the hotel such as temples and museums.
Overall a pleasant stay and happy to visit again.

Anonymous UserThe free shuttle bus from Sendai was a lifesaver. The lobby, the area in front of the large public bath, and the buffet restaurant were all luxurious, stylish, and beautiful spaces. The buffet offered a huge variety of dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. Of course, I had plenty of beef tongue! This time we booked a room on the top floor, and the atmosphere was absolutely fantastic; I'd definitely want to stay on that floor again. Finally, about seven staff members saw off the shuttle bus, and their synchronized standing positions, bows, and hand waves were truly impressive. I was genuinely touched by their wonderful hospitality.

Guest UserI've stayed here about 5 or 6 times now, and every visit, the cleanliness is impeccable and the service is excellent. The staff's polite language and their commitment to ensuring guests never feel uncomfortable truly put me at ease.
This time, for the first time, I opted for a room-only stay as I wanted to enjoy a relaxing hot spring trip without any interference. (Previously, my best friend and I always chose plans with breakfast and dinner.)
This kind of stay is also very reasonable, and given the reliable service, I'll continue to choose Rantei for all my future visits to Akiu Onsen, rather than trying other inns.
Having just turned 60, I'm not sure how many more times I'll be able to visit...
Thank you so much for everything.

Guest UserThe hotel is on the hillside, but the hotel provides bus pick-up service, great!
Large towels are provided in the women's bath for guests to walk to the open-air hot spring. A bonfire is prepared next to the hot spring to increase the atmosphere. After the hot spring, guests can enjoy a massage chair in the women's bath locker room. The only drawback is that the one-night stay with two meals package booked on trip.com does not include the option of dinner. I was envious when I saw other guests enjoying high-end cuisine.

We stayed with 3 friends. It was best that the room was large and even 3 people could spend without feeling cramped.
It was also helpful that there was a free parking lot, and I was grateful that there was no additional charge even if the check-out extension was extended.
The location is a bit far away, but considering the price, it was a hotel that was satisfactory enough and convenient. I still want to use it.

The first self-driving tour, I chose Akiba because it is very close to the center of Sendai in about half an hour, and you can enjoy the hot springs and natural landscapes.
The location of the hotel is very convenient, very close to the entrance, the front desk staff of the morning shift night shift service attitude is good, take the initiative to explain the check-in matters and greet us.
Very satisfied with this experience! The room is clean and comfortable, the facilities are complete, the breakfast is very rich, very Japanese style, there are staple food and desserts, the price is very high ~ I will choose here next time, I highly recommend it to friends who are ready to travel.
It should be the reason for the off-season that the whole hotel does not have many tourists, there are also locals, and the public and private style is also steeped in the parking location.
