Hotels in Morioka

Positiv:: The staff was very jovial, friendly and helpful. Everyone went out of their way to make sure that we have everything we need. They made sure that all the food we were served was cooked without salt, as we can’t have any. The house was very spacious and had incredible views of the lake and the mountains. It was very authentic but modern at the same time. The private hot spring bath was incredible.

Negativ:: We loved everything.

Positiv:: the location, the staff, the facilities, the food - everything! It’s one of our favorite onsen places in all of Japan.

Negativ:: Nothing.

Positiv:: Best in-room ofuro ever! Loved it!

Positiv:: Everything is of the highest quality here. The rooms are spotlessly clean, the food is fantastic and reasonably priced. The location is lovely; very quiet but close to Morioka. I would recommend using a hire car however to get places nearby. We were made to feel very welcome when we arrived, nd were given tea and Japanese sweets while our room was being prepared. The indoor and outdoor baths are fantastic; so relaxing and warm. The service for the food is brilliant, and the food itself is so tasty. Everything in the rooms is of a very high quality: from small things like the umbrella or even the pens. It's easy to see where the cost is spent. Our hosts were very very nice, I can't recommend this place highly enough if you are looking for an authentic feel with high quality, privacy, romance and relaxation. We stayed here for 3 nights and I really didn't want to leave. Next time I visit Tohoku I will definitely stay again. Thanks so much for a wonderful 3 days.

Negativ:: Nothing. It was perfect for me.

Positiv:: Amazing place that is magically relaxing. Our room had interior and exterior onsens which both overlooked a gorgeous river. The staff was very helpful and made wonderful suggestions. Such a lovely splurge.

Negativ:: It would be near impossible to find a fault.

Positiv:: The rooms were actually individual cabins. There were two hot springs in the room!

Positiv:: Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations. Staff were lovely and able to accomodate our request for transportation to & from the villa (to Morioka station). The meals were of restaurant quality. Wish we had stayed longer than one night! Incredibly peaceful and relaxing location. Thank you!

Negativ:: Charging for tea and cheap drinks from the fridge

Positiv:: Very spacious. Very kind and friendly staff. All you could drink beer in the lobby. Beautiful Onsens. Complimentary breakfast was delicious. Views were very beautiful.

Negativ:: Secluded location. Outdated decor. Difficult to understand shuttle and onsen schedules for non-Japanese speakers.

Positiv:: the japanese style breakfast

Positiv:: Dinner was lovely, as was the view of the lake from the lobby.

Negativ:: Way too expensive. Pretentious. Obviously targets wedding parties. Difficulty communicating as a foreign tourist, come with someone who can translate. For some reason wait times for the elevators are ridiculous. Couldn't figure out where the shuttle from the station was supposed to be. Had difficulty finding towels, and nowhere to hang them.

Positiv:: Great view, great onsen, great service

Negativ:: Could be more clean in the room.

Positiv:: Beautiful lake and mountain views. Food was great. Very nice large indoor and outdoor onsen. Shuttle bus to Morioka station.

Negativ:: No local buses to explore as I did not have a car. Did not have an exercise room.

Positiv:: It’s a very authentic Japanese inn . Very quaint and the staff exceptionally friendly. Our room was large by Japan standards.

Negativ:: Would have liked a our own private bathing facilities. Sleeping on the floor is fun at first but we missed a proper bed by the third night .

Positiv:: The hotel staff was so perfectly friendly and supported so much to make the stay a memorable experience! The dinner and breakfast was very delicious and full of local fresh ingredients. I loved the stay so much!

Positiv:: Great experience

Negativ:: Size of the room could be better

Positiv:: I like it that the hotel is quite in the middle where it is near the shopping street was and very central to the places we were going. The staff was welcoming and very hospitable! The room was spacious enough for two of us and comfy.

Negativ:: The queue for the morning breakfast was rather long. I think there can be a better way to queue the guests in without waiting too long.

Positiv:: Grosses geräumiges Zimmer, für Japan ungewöhnlich. Sehr gutes Frühstück. Personal sehr freundlich.

Positiv:: Cleanliness

Negativ:: Room very small

Positiv:: Great hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel was clean and in a good location. Walking distance to shops and station. We had a great view from our window.

Positiv:: 4 star hotel and service at a hostel price!

Positiv:: Schöne Zimmer

Negativ:: Englischkenntnisse der Rezeption

Positiv:: Everything was good especially the helpful staffs. Room was bigger for the money than many other hotels.

Positiv:: Typisch Japanisch sind die Zimmer bisschen klein. Aber es geht noch kleiner. Also eigentlich Kein wirklicher minus Punkt.

Positiv:: Great location and excellent breakfast with lots of vegetable options.

Negativ:: Nothing really. All was great.

Positiv:: Gute Lage, Früstück sehr gut

Negativ:: War alles tip top

Positiv:: The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast had nice options. The room was comfortable and clean.

Bathroom , bath tub , size match with us. -Room facilities , good have everything that we need. -Easy check in. -Front staff , good manner and promt service. -Location , near by lawson and restaurant , and not far from Iwate park. -Have a parking lot , plus fee.

Negativ:: -Smoking smell , not good for family with children. Japanese people smoking a lot and if hotel do not separate area , smell will interrupt other people and children.

Positiv:: Outstanding buffet breakfast with more items offered than one could count.

Negativ:: Would preferred to be closer to the train station. Had to take a taxi, Y780, with luggage. Selected the Daiwa Hotel chain because of previous good experience with them.

Positiv:: Wonderful facility location staff

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Location and price! Maybe because the new year...

Negativ:: No issues!

Positiv:: The location is excellent. Centre of Morioka. And I must give some bonus score for the breakfast, with huge variation and amazing quality.

Negativ:: You need a bit of luck to find the parking.

Positiv:: Location is quite good just a few minutes away from the station. Large and clean room. Breakfast buffet is excellent and tasty.

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Very convenient and staff are good

Positiv:: The hotel has a good location, basically at the downtown. The price for such a standard was good and the room was clean and really big and the bed was very comfortable! The stuff of the hotel was kind and helpful.

Negativ:: The problem was with the parking lot as it is located out of the hotel and not easy to find. Moreover, the parking lot was not included in the hotel price.

Positiv:: Very helpful and considerate. Especially to Ms Ng 吳課長。thanks your help !

Positiv:: Not too far from train station, got good welcome cookies from staff. The room is spacious.

Negativ:: A bit old hotel.

Positiv:: Zentrale Lage.

Negativ:: Leider konnten wir kein Nichtraucherzimmer mehr buchen, auch Raumspray half nur begrenzt. Pech.

Positiv:: The main reason I decided to stay at the Metropolitan New Wing hotel was its proximity to the Morioka's Railway Station, since apart from visiting the city itself, I had planned to take day trips to some nearby tourist spots. Not to be confused with its "elder brother", the Metropolitan, that's directly accessible from the station, the New Wing is a mere 5-7 minute walk from the time you get off your train. My room, a standard one, was relatively large, clean, quiet and kept in good conditions even though, a renovation would be welcome to remove that sense of "outdated" you feel from the very first moment. Unfortunately, due to downtown Morioka layout, being close to the railway station means you'll have to walk some 15-20 minutes before you get to a real foodie paradise, where you are presented a number of restaurants, bars and japanese pubs scattered through a large semi-pedestrian area built around a main street and several alleys on both of its sides. Remember westerners are much less common here than in other more touristy cities so, don't worry if there's no english menu on sight, just enter and enjoy the japanese hospitality: you won't disappointed. Aren't you fancy walking? A few hundred meters away from the hotel entrance, you'll find a bunch of eateries popular with locals. Checking in and out from the Metropolitan New Wing was quite a quick process and, more in general, the outsanding kindness of its Front Desk Staff makes you feel like you were staying in a upmarket hotel.

Positiv:: The location only

Negativ:: The rate n the hotel’s old

Positiv:: Room was spacious with firm pillows. Quite a selection of restaurants and eateries nearby the hotel.

Negativ:: Room lightnings were rather dim. Coffee served during breakfast could be better quality. Hotel is not within walking distance from the railway station.

Positiv:: The single room is big, clean and tidy. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom is big. It is comfortable to stay. There is shopping mall, shops, convenience stores, clinics, salons around the hotel and the hotel is not too far away from the station.

Negativ:: It was a bit noisy and I could hear the voice from the room right next to my room and the sound of the traffic light. (Traffic light: Day and night time, midnight was fine)

Positiv:: good location

Positiv:: It might be far from the station but the bus stops are close, which makes it easy to get around. Starbuck in the lobby is cool for the cold weather. Just grab and go. Also most of the tourists spot are in the walking distance if you can walk about 1 or 2 Km. And a department store is right next to the hotel.

Negativ:: We've got 1 day breakfast tickets out of 3 days stay. And it was confusing to talk with staffs. They keeps saying no refunds. And we said we didn't want refunds we want the tickets. We're got it in the end but it was a weird interaction.

Positiv:: Close to the main streets of food and shopping just 2 blocks away

Negativ:: During wintertime- the room was warm and temperature cannot be adjusted. We had to open the windows and even then it was still warm

Positiv:: Nice and located in the walking distance from JR Station. Location and Breakfast.

Positiv:: Right in the middle of Morioka. Very clean and cheap.

Positiv:: Clean Couch chair Staff

Negativ:: Pillows

Positiv:: Unser Zimmer war sehr geräumig.

Negativ:: Wohnen im Hotel Royal ist eine Zeitreise ca. 50 Jahre in die Vergangenheit. Seitdem hat sich nicht viel getan: Angestoßene Möbel und deutliche Gebrauchsspuren in der Badezimmerkapsel. Das Bett war sehr hart. Insgesamt für diese Ausstattung zu teuer.

Positiv:: Clean, right next to the train station, and good value.

Positiv:: Excellent location adjoining station with view of Shinkansen ( without the noise). Good size twin room. Comfy bed. Convenience store in lobby. Close to bus and restaurants.

Positiv:: Lage unmittelbar neben dem Bahnhof. Business hotel mit durchschnittlicher Ausstattung. Preis - Leistung okay.

Negativ:: Ausstattung ist nicht mehr ganz neu.

Positiv:: The location was very convenient since the hotel was directly connected to Morioka station via the department store. The room was very clean and comfortable, which was nice after a long day of sightseeing.

Positiv:: Location is very convenient. Just beside the morioka station. The room assigned to us is spacious.

Negativ:: Hotel is bit old already.

Positiv:: The centralized location made Hotel Metropolitan Morioka a great hotel to explore the various tourist locations of Iwate Perfecture. The facilities are generally good and adequate and the staff are attentive and helpful.

Negativ:: The hotel do not have self laundry facilities for long period travelers (more than one week). It will be good to introduce a few machines should more tourist arrive. There is no gym facilities but visitor could always make use of the nice path within the morioka city for their daily dose of exercise

Positiv:: Customer service (for example: I was able to leave my luggage before check-in and it was brought to the room), very reasonable price / quality ratio, friendly staff. The interior is relatively new (Flatscreen TV, good working WIFI). Everything was super clean and the Hotel is in a quiet area but very central.

Negativ:: The Hotel is without 4g and in the darkness a little bit hard to find, because at the Building it says "HOTEL DU NORD" and not Kita Hotel (at least in non-Japanese writing) #confusing

Negativ:: the staff is professional friednly and happy to attend, the room is excellent all modern you feel in a super nice hotel

Positiv:: Staff were super helpful with parking as it was a little hard to figure out. And they were just generally nice! I really liked the location - just by the castle grounds and close to the river, so great for a walk. Plus there were several great cafes close by!!

Positiv:: Very comfortable and clean room. Nice and helpful front desk staff. Near one of the famous spots of Morioka too - the rock splitting cherry blossom tree.

Positiv:: Great service

Negativ:: Parking is expensive

Positiv:: Sehr freundliches hilfsbereites Personal

Negativ:: Nix

Positiv:: Fantastic service from the hotel owner. Was delayed in reaching the hotel in time for check in by an hour and he didn't mind. Good recommendation for dinner as well and the izakaya owner is a gem. Offered to send me back during the rain. (Name of the restaurant is Koiyoshi)

Positiv:: Room is spacious, and hotspring on site.

Negativ:: There is no shower nor bathtub in room. You have to use the shower in the public bathroom inside of onsen. However, that is not open untill 11am andclosed at 8 pm. Litteraly, you only 5 hours window to take a shower. And there are nothing to eat ininside hotel, not even instant noodle. There does have 2 tiny restaurant 5 minutes walkaway, open after 6:30 pm. Night is cold there at Fall. There is only one blanket (usually down comforter provided in Japan hotels) in the room. I was cold and can't sleep Well,. Also, the owner charge me 150 yen more than booking.com price which is first time ever happened. His explanation is tax for use hotbath. Do not recommend.

Positiv:: It is a fair way from the main train station but there is a local bus that you can catch from the train station that drops you about 2 min from the hotel. Ask at the tourist information desk in the train station for details on the bus routes.

Negativ:: A bit far away but the onsen town is beautiful

Positiv:: The place was clean, the hot springs was beautiful and nice service

Positiv:: Great location

Positiv:: Good breakfast and nice staff

Positiv:: Good location. Good staff. Nice public bath.

Negativ:: There was a long queue for breakfast which could be improved. Eco-friendly mode for making-up rooms was not worth it. No free water bottles in the room.

Positiv:: The reception staff were very helpful, chased after us when we were going out to offer umbrellas when it was snowing heavily. The location is 5mins slow walk to the train station.

Negativ:: nil

Positiv:: Good location , Next to train station

Negativ:: A bit expensive

Positiv:: The hotel has great views and offers free shuttle from Morioka station. Since this information is not available on the site and the staff are not speaking any English, there are three shuttle services per date from the West Exit of the Morioka station (Bus stand 28) - I don't remember the exact time but around 11, 14:30, and 16:00. The actual schedule is written on the bus stand. The outdoor onsen is beautiful and you can walk around the area of the lake and the water gardens on the other side of the lake.

Negativ:: Staff speaks rudimentary English but they will try to assist you.

Positiv:: Staff were friendly and helpful. Reasonably close to station and restaurants.

Negativ:: Asked for a non-smoking room but room had a stale smoke odour. Could smell cigarette smoke from other rooms on the same floor and hallway to elevator also smelled of cigarettes. Carpets were stained, food stains on the furniture.

Positiv:: breakfast was ok. japanese choices

Negativ:: it took them quite a while to work out the hotel rate.

Positiv:: The hotel was a short taxi ride from Morioka Station, and only about a 10-minute leisurely walk from there to the Morioka Castle park. There were many cafes, bars, and restaurants nearby. The hotel facilities were old and could use some updating, but the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a typical hotel buffet, with both Japanese and Western options.

Negativ:: We were unable to book a non-smoking room, so did find the lingering smell somewhat unpleasant. The staff made sure to put a humidifier/air purifier unit in the room for our use, which was nice. The bathroom did have some mildew and generally could have used some refurbishing. Still, there was lots of good, hot water.

Positiv:: The location was good, the staff were lovely BUT the hotel rooms are pretty shabby.

Negativ:: The beds and rooms and hotel in general is shabby. Breakfast not good at all (quantity of options was large but quality was very poor).. much nicer breakfasts available locally.
