Smile Hotel Aomori

perfect stay about location. I had the room near the elevator and you can hear the elevator every time used during night and morning? you can hear nearly everthing that happens in the same floor outside the room, thats the only bad thing if you have a light sleep.. all the rest was perfect☺️

The hotel has many nice restaurants around and you can be at the train station between 15 to 20 minutes by walk.

I booked this hotel because it was the only one available during the Sakura peak season. The hotel is very basic but the price was really expensive.

Staff was friendly and the place clean

VERY VERY small

Comfy big bed, free tea, had a lovely bath, good air con, space for luggage under bed (good because i had a lot) and staff let me leave luggage in the lobby and I came back later to pick it up and they let me stay in the lobby for a while even though it was 2pm so I didn't have to wait in the snow for my bus

Just a little bit pricey, I normally would go for something cheaper as a solo traveler

Typical buisness hotel, good for what it was.

Far from station or points of interest. Expensive relative to want you get (I was there on weekend so maybe I just got unlucky for price.)

The price is excellent, and the hostel is only a 15-minute walk from the station, with several restaurants nearby.

Good location CleanNice staff

A bit small room but it was just like the pictures show.

This is the smallest room size I have every seen in Japan.

The first night I was given a smoke room and also a room that should never have been used as a room for guest to stay for there are three flowing pipes were buried through the wall or the floor of this room (the room number is 455) How do I know? I was basically awake the whole night and in the morning, I heard three times of loud beeping at a seperate time, after each beep, the flowing sound stops.The hotel did not do as agreed to give me a smoke free and quiet room to begin with. I arrived late that day and then I put down my luggage and went out for dinner and had a stroll. Then I came back and noticed the noise. I was very tired but could not sleep. I was told by a nice staff there that I can only change room from next day. They did change my room the next day. But what happened is that there are clubs nearby? They played loud drum/base music until early morning.

Nice beds, good place to rest. Offers breakfast. Got fresh towels every day. Maids cleaned rooms well and made beds nice and comfy.

Even though the Room was a smoke free room it smelt like smoke after coming back to the room every time. It's probably not the room but the ventilation system. luckily not that much smoke that the clothes started to smell like it.

Very close to Aomori Station. A lot of restaurants nearby. very recommended for budget travelers

Room a bit small, but very normal for Japan budget hotel standard

Neighbourhood seems a bit dodgy - lots of night clubs but actually OK.

Not getting a double room.

pp reasonable price

far from nearest station. small room

Price when I needed a room.

This hotel was quite loud. Many people were talking in the hallway and you could hear it in the room. It is further from both the shin aomori shinkansen station and aomori station than convenient. As it was raining, I took the bus from Aomori station. I booked one night on booking.com and asked for an extra night at check-in. They said no, so I changed hotels in the rain the next day. But in the morning, there were rooms available on booking again. Frustrating. The foot of the bed is against the wall. If you are taller than 185cm, it might be a problem.

Friendly staff, affordable price, and alright location. Reception manned 24/7 which is always nice. Room was clean and well equipped.

The common areas are due for a renovation and the staff was friendly but didn't go out of their way to make me feel welcome. Room was smaller than I expected.

Great location and good price.

I hit my head multiple times in the doorway because I am too tall :(

The bed was extremely comfortable and I had everything I needed. I like that amenities were provided separately so as to reduce waste.

It was fairly close to the station, a 15 minute walk. Other than that, nothing else.

I booked a non-smoking room but my worst expectation came true that I just got given a smokers room regardless. The elevator is tiny, the room was even smaller, if you have a normal sized suitcase, don't bother with the single sized room. I had my carry on suitcase and I had to put it on the bed to open it. I could touch the desk whilst sitting on the bed. This was by far the most expensive accommodation I had booked and the worst room I got by far in my 5 various hotels I have stayed in. Avoid this hotel unless it's dirt cheap (I wouldn't pay more than $40 per night).I didn't keep a photo of the room, but here's a photo of how outdated this place (featuring the most likely haunted telephone, it looks like it's been there since the early 90s).

Firstly when we open the room there a bad smell from toilet / bathroom , room is very small , no coffee or milk or sugar as most hotels provide for guest when I ask they told me to buy coffee on vending machine . The only plus is room are clean everyday . So I can only give it a rating fair .

It was clean. Staff was friendly. It was a no frills just a place to stay along with an optional breakfast for an additional charge.

Smaller than most hotel rooms.

The Hotel was at a good location and the room and property were very clean. The staff was very friendly as well.
