Hotellit aamiaisella kohteessa Fukushima

"Palvelu on suuri ja tulee tuettu auto pysäköinti 600yen yössä. Voit myös poistua ja mennä useita kertoja, jos saatavilla kun palaat. Muussa tapauksessa vain odottaa auton pysäköinti sisäänkäynnin kunnes este nostaa. Huone on vakio. Lähellä ruokavalio voi olla rajoitettu, jos olet valinnainen muuten se on hyvä oleskelu!"

"料理もお部屋も大変素晴らしい宿でした。 夕食・朝食ともに品数が多く、盛り付けや味も丁寧で、季節感を感じられるお料理に感動しました。 用意して頂いたお部屋もフルリノベーションされていたためとても綺麗で、温泉旅館というより高級ホテルのような清潔感があり、もしトラブルがなければとてもリラックスできたと思います。 お部屋の露天風呂は、温度調整ができるようになってからは湯質・雰囲気ともに最高で、時間を忘れて過ごせました。 また、大浴場も3種類あり、それぞれ趣の違う露天風呂が楽しめました。滝や手入れの行き届いた庭園を眺めながらの入浴は本当に贅沢で、季節ごとに訪れたくなる魅力がありました。 ただ一点、とても残念だったのは、宿泊初日にお部屋の水回りトラブルが続いたことです。水が出たり出なかったりを繰り返しており室内の露天風呂の温度が調整できず熱すぎて入れなかったり、洗面台やシャワーの水が子供が怯えるほど激しく出たり全く出なかったりと、安定しない状態でした。 さらに夜にはトイレが逆流して床と壁が濡れてしまい、せっかくの滞在中にかなり不安を感じました。 フロントの方は夜遅い時間にも関わらず工具を使って配管の調整を試みてくださり、その姿勢自体はありがたかったです。ただ、結果的に完全に解決はせず、部屋の移動などの提案もなく「様子を見てください」という形で終わってしまい、深夜に不安を抱えたまま過ごすことになりました。 翌日になってもこちらから確認するまで説明がなく、誠実なフォローが感じられなかったことも心に引っかかりました。この価格帯のお部屋でこのようなトラブルと対応は、正直これまで経験したことがなくとても驚きました。 また、もう一点とても不安に感じたのは、大浴場で母が男性客に覗かれるという出来事があったことです。 フロントに伝えたところ「外国人観光客が増えており、間違えて入ってきた可能性がある」との説明でしたが、母が見た限りでは日本人男性であり、その対応にも不信感を覚えました。 安全面での対策（見回りや案内強化など）を取っていただけたら、より安心して過ごせる旅館になると思います。 全体としては、施設や料理のクオリティは非常に高く、本来であれば最高評価をつけたいほど素晴らしい旅館でした。 だからこそ、トラブル時の対応や安全面での誠実なフォローが今後改善されることを願っています。"

"Excellent hotel. Great size room. Great bed. A nice bathroom and lsuoer friendly staff. Have stayed in pricier hotels that weren’t as close as nice as this hotel. Highly recommend"

"Personally, I didn’t enjoy this hotel very much, as it felt a bit old and somewhat eerie — especially when I checked in at midnight and had to do laundry alone, haha. That said, I wouldn’t say it’s a bad choice overall. The location is excellent — just a 2–3 minute walk from Fukushima Station — and the room rates are very reasonable. Getting a single room for around SGD 50 is a rare find in major cities like Tokyo or Osaka. For travelers looking for a short stay or a convenient stopover before heading to Yamagata, this hotel is definitely a solid option."

"I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The first great point is the proximity to the Fukushima Station. When I arrived, my check-in process was handled by the Manager, Matsuda-san. He was very friendly and warm. The room I stayed in was decently-sized, giving me enough room to walk around with a large suitcase and other bags on the floor. A suitcase stand and a small stool are provided. The beige wallpaper provided a nice contrast to the dark carpet. The controls for the room were absolutely fantastic - I could, for instance, adjust the brightness of the main light and the strength of the bathroom exhaust fan. The bathroom was slightly cramped, but I managed. An alarm clock is also provided for guests. The default blanket in the room was far too hot; even with the heating turned off, I felt like I was being roasted while I was in bed with the blanket covering me (and this was in winter!). I didn't like the default pillow either, it was too hard. On my last night, I requested a thinner blanket and softer pillow. Thankfully, the hotel was able to provide them, and I slept much better after using the new blanket and pillow. Funnily enough, the mattress was also quite hard, but it didn't give me any problems. The sound insulation was fantastic, and the cleaning staff were super quiet! I almost couldn't tell that they were outside my room doing their work! I also very likely had considerate Japanese guests on my floor, hence the peace. Nearby the hotel is S-Pal, where you can buy all sorts of prepared meals (if you're lucky, you can find a few vegan options). There's also a large pharmacy, and there are many convenience stores around. The main complaint I have is that the check-out time @ 10:00 is too early. I think 12:00 would be a better time. I did not have breakfast at the hotel, nor did I use any of the facilities, so I have no comment on those. I definitely recommend Hotel Route-Inn Grand Fukushima Ekimae to others, and I will definitely consider staying at Route-Inn hotels in other parts of Japan! Side Notes: (1) If you have large luggage and arrive at the Fukushima Station, you'll have to take the elevator at the west exit, and when you reach the ground floor you'll see another elevator about 20 metres in front of you (slightly to the left). This second elevator will take you to the underground passage, which you can use to get to the east side of the station, where Route-Inn Grand Fukushima is located. Do note that there is a rear entrance to the hotel (next to a public parking lot), and this will save you from walking to the front of the hotel with all your luggage. (2) Vegan options in Fukushima are unfortunately extremely limited, but you can find some vegan tofu bars and a few other items at 7-Eleven...but be sure to use Google Lens to translate the ingredients!"

"A little bit of a walk away from Iizaka Onsen station if you don’t have a car (around 20 mins), but worth it! The onsen is amazing and definitely get the sake tasting set at the sake bar."

"Great hotel if you are driving at Ebisu. Clean, cheap, and only 30 minutes from the track"

"全てがホテル内で完結できてしまうのが素晴らしかった。 大浴場もあり、とてもリラックス出来ましたし、本当に無駄の無いホテルでした。 フロントスタッフの方々の対応も素晴らしかったです。困っていた時に、細やかに素早く対応してくださいました。 ありがとうございました。"

"Toyoko Inn never fail us. The stay is always comfortable, though the room may not be big, but it is very functional and clean. The breakfast was nice. The staff were friendly. The location was ideal, with lots of shops around the area."

"This was a very lovely resort! The view from our room was breathtaking! We called for pick-up from the train station and waited about 10 minutes. The next morning our ride back to the train station was waiting when we arrived in the lobby. The beds were prepared at 6pm. Dinner was reservation only, which we did not have. We walked 20 minutes into the little town to a hidden gem Ramen shop that opened at 7pm and the food was amazing."
