Hotel Route Inn Yamagata Ekimae

This was a great stay. Super close to the station, super friendly and efficient staff and everything you need for a stay. In house onsen was an unexpected delight

Rooms weren't super large, but it's Japan! Also, for the price, couldn't fault it

Nice hotel close to Yamagata Station. Rooms were nice and staff all very friend. Shout out to the parking attendant.. cool guy! :D Good location for travelling to Zao Onsen if you have a hire car. Rooftop onsen was very nice too!!!

Breakfast area can get really busy with a long queue. Wait wasn't too long and the food was great to make up for it. Minor problem really.

Car parking for rental carOnsenCoffeeGreat breakfast

Onsen could be bigger Breakfast needs more variety

The location is fantastic, directly opposite the train station, making it incredibly convenient for travelers. The breakfast selection is varied and delicious, catering to a range of tastes. The public onsen adds a relaxing touch, enhancing the overall experience. The staff are exceptionally friendly and always willing to help, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere throughout the stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort and convenience.

Ice machine has ice buckets

Breakfast selection. No scrambled eggs.

Very close to the station and the supermarket. Big room by Japanese standards. Nice breakfast options.

They didn’t change the sheets at all despite my strong five nights, which was unusual. Not overly comfortable pillows.

Location is superb about 200 meters from Yamagata train station. The staff is so friendly and very helpful as they helped to contact our rental car and informed that we were going to be late. They also help to keep our luggage. Not to forget free coins for can drinks. Recommended.

Public bath and free breakfast Everyday breakfast menu is changing so it was a very good morning to have such a good breakfast and good free coffee too at the lobby

It was ok for solo traveler

Helpful front desk & good location.

Room is a bit small

Good location, near Yamagata train station.Free coffee provided at certain times throughout the day. Good breakfast spread. Free public bath.

Convenient location as an overnight stay, to allow us to visit Risshakuji Temple at Yamadera early next morning. We wanted to be close to the station for easy access to the trains, which this provided. Typical of most hotels in Japan, it was compact, with some novel solutions to provide more space, such as the pull out kettle shelf.

Good breakfast and great location while having anything necessary for short stayHotel is quite big, probably because there is not a lot of hotels, but it is great for this value so can be quite crowdy during breakfastIn the end it is great value for your money

Hotel is a bit old and it shows as there is a lot of tear which might be fixed eventually and not really big dealCleaning stuff doesn't seem to clean around door well so it was a bit surprising to see dirt which is unusual

The location was excellent near to the station and a grocery store. The facilities in the room were nice.

The room was a bit outdated and had an old room smell. The breakfast could have a bit more selection. The bed was a bit too hard for my taste.

Location was good.

No car park. Long queue for breakfast. Elevator never came. Staff members, including the Manager, never listen to and insist to respond to guests' requests.

Close to the JR Yamagata station. A Max Valu supermarket is also just right around the corner.Room is what you expect from standard Japanese business hotel. The TVs show you how busy the public bath is and if the washer and dryers are occupied. WiFi was also pretty good.Free breakfast was great. I read another review that said there wasn’t a lot of variety, but there was very good variety in my opinion for a free breakfast. Good mix of Japanese and Western items. It gets pretty busy, though.

Public spa was fine, but quite small. I didn’t use it but took a look at it when doing laundry.

Near train station, breakfast is OK, good onsen, clean room

The security of lift no key card touch for guess only

Great location, cool little view, there is parking at the back of the building which was really cheap.

The mattress was very firm, and the pillow was too. Unfortunately they do not have soft (western) pillows. This may have changed though

Wide variety of options for breakfast, though best if you like a Japanese breakfast. Certainly did not go hungry, plus there is a big supermarket right behind the hotel. Very comfortable beds. Loved being able to leave luggage after checkout before going to Ginzan Onsen for the day. The location is very convenient to the JR station for trains plus also for catching the bus in the morning to Zao Onsen.

Proximity to JR Yamagata station. All ammeneties were provided. Hotel rooms were cleaned everyday.

location is very near the train station and good breakfast

need to provide bigger pillow
