Traveling to Japan? Find Aomori Prefecture hotels

This hotel was very close to the tourist information place in Aomori which was convenient. The staff doesn't have much English but they were helpful and friendly. We didn't eat in the hotel restaurant so I can't say anything about that; the review forces me to address food so I am talking about food at little restaurants not the hotel. There is a hole in the wall type restaurant across the street that everyone should check out. We had a great experience with our little Japanese and their little English. It is also practically next door to a shrine to the best water in Japan. We will stay here again when we got to the Aomori area to see Mt. Osore.

Standard chain hotel in Japan. Good value, clean but very small. Do note that the hotel does provide parking but there are very few lots (approx. 6-7 only). Hence if there aren't any more guest lots, you would have to pay for parking located about 150m away. Do note there are 2 APA hotels in Aomori. This one is further away from the train station. We made a mistake and first went to the one nearer the train station. I do not recommend staying at that APA hotel if you have a lot of luggage. There is a huge staircase at the entrance of the APA hotel nearer to the train station. That hotel has even less parking too! Just 2 lots for guests.

The room I booked was clean and pretty spacious. Bed is comfortable but in-room amenities provided was just all the very basic stuff (dislike the toothbrush which is soooo hard). While the bathroom some how have some leak while you bath or use the basin. Also, it seems like the towels or yukatas are not properly cleaned cause I noticed 1or 2 strands of hair attaching to it still. Laundry is coin operated with 300yen per washing and 100yen per drying. The washing machine capacity is a bit small with only 4.5kg allowed, no detergents provided. Location is not the best but still can consider as good cause it's just within walking distance (about 10-15 minutes) to the town, Aomori station or to the port. Lobby is at the 4th floor and the lift will stopped at 4th floor automatically no matter you are going upwards or downwards though. Staff are very friendly and polite. In room TV services have to be bought separately. There is a combini at the ground floor and opposite the street (7-11).

Hotel convenient to Aomori Station, Nebuta Museum, A Factoy, Aomori Bridge. Walking distance and super easy to find. Room was nice and bright, clean for the most part. View of bridge was nice. But when you open the shades to the window (even though the window itself was closed), it became pretty cold! Bathroom was okay. Needs a little updating. For the price I can't complain. The stars for facilities is not accurate. I didn't use anything so I don't know. But this review made me rate it

i researched almost 10 hotels for our anniversary stay in aomori and i almost couldn't believe the offer agoda was suggesting was real, a beautiful hotel for a wonderful price. we took the train in and walked the best part of downtown aomori for about 20 minutes stopping at coffee and shopping on the way to the hotel. once we got to the hotel, the service was all smiles and their english was wonderful. they gave me my pick of some bath salts and other spa items. we experienced no trouble and no problems getting in. we were in the 12th floor in a beautiful room. the staff were helpful and always concerned for us to have a wonderful stay. i cannot wait to go back there!

We stayed at Art Hotel Color Aomori for 2 nights from 5th Nov to 7th Nov. The hotel location is not too far and at walkable distance from Aomori JR train station. Staffs were nice and checkin and checkout procedure were fast and smooth. They even gave us a free postcard when we checkedin. The bed was comfortable and the room was cozy. Wifi was fast but disconnected from time to time. The only downside of it was that the aircon/heater temperature was central operated so we couldn't adjust the room temperature ourself. We used the coin-operated washing machine and dryer at the hotel, which only had Japanese instruction but we did managed to get it working! Overall, we were happy with the hotel for the price we paid for.

The Staff was very nice! We arrive at the hotel building around 5 PM and it seems to be closed. However there's a staff waiting for us (for I don't know how long) he knows our name and lead us to the other building that is still opened. He takes very good care of us during our stay and give a lot of advice. On the day we check out, at first we have to return the car at Aomori station but the road condition were not very good after the heavy snow last night, so he help us talked to nippon-rent-a-car if we can return the car at Hachinohe station instead. The Location of the hotel is close to all the sight seeings on Towada Lake. The food was good and the onsen was a bonus. It really worth the money. The only downside we feel is the elevetor was very old and scary and the heating that stops every 3 hours so it was a little cold in the nignt.

I was looking for a hotel near castle for one night. This hotel is pretty new and located a few blocks from Castle and garden. I had bit trouble finding it but if you follow the direction for Hirosaki University Hospital you will find it as it is located very near hospital. We had a car so I don't know how far this is from the public transportation. Restaurants are all around, we walk to castle at night to see it lit up - beautiful! I love the hot spring bath located at the 10th floor. Japanese love to bath - it is beautiful, relaxing. Watching those night lights and soaking in warm water (outside) was my favorite! The breakfast was also great - traditional Japanese foods and european buffet was fresh and tasty.

I was in a rush to Hokkaido. So, Sunroute Aomori Hotel was the hotel for the night and I had to catch on the morning train. A small room (10m sq) but it has all the things you need from fridge to internet. AC is working great. There is a Lawson convenient store just across the street. Location is okay considering that only 5 mins walk but a bit hard to find at the first time. Staff is helpful and polite. Overall, it was a nice stay at there.

Excellent location, it took us only 660 yen to get here by taxi from the train station, on other days approximately 15 minutes on foot. Lawson's convenient store is connected to the first floor of the building, Terrace Garden, the famous Yokocho alleys and a few cafes are just a few minutes away. Bed is of larger than average size, spacious bathroom, high-tech check-in and check-out system. Room with large windows overlooking the main street but not noisy. Air-conditioner was quiet so we managed to have some of our best sleep during this 11-day trip. The only think we thought could be improved is the mattress quality which is a bit on the hard side. Would definitely try hotels from the same chain in other cities when we visit Japan next time!

if u coming to see the Towadako Winter Festival, just like me and my friends, better check this hotel out. at some period during the festival, hotel provide free shuttle to guest from and to Hachinohe Station. its not a short journey so really worth the price when we booked the hotel. the room i booked is kinda like the ryokan one so expect to sleep with futon or tatami style there and experience this Japanese culture style. and since they have onsen, do not forget to enjoy it also. the staff is helpful and patient ones, and its a quite big hotel. they also provide bus to the festival return trip. the price is not that cheap but still cheap comparing other hotels at Towadako area so i think this hotel is really recommended.

If you want to explore Aomori prefecture, this is the hotel I recommend to you. It's just in front of the Aomori station. From this hotel, you can easily explore around Aomori by train and/or bus. The breakfast is nice and delicious too. There are many restaurants nearby the hotel, and it's walking distance to Nubuta Museum, A-factory, and bay bridge. We went to Hirosaki castle and Ashino park in the spring (end of April) to see sakura blossoms. If you take shinkansen hayabusa from Tokyo to Aomori, you'll arrive at shin-aomori station, and you have to transfer to JR Ou (local train), only 6 minutes to arrive at Aomori station.

A 15 minute walk up a main road from the JR station could be long with heavy packs but there is a tourist bus that can make things more convenient. The check in was fine, although things happen primarily in Japanese and they seem slightly understaffed at the front desk. Amenities are self-serve in the lobby and at elevator exits. Room has a very clean "Gradma's cottage" decor which makes it cozy on cold nights. Plenty of space for 6 foot male, 5 foot 2 female and their 3 backpacks. TV is on the small size for watching sumo, but otherwise quite satisfied. Breakfast buffet off the lobby was great fare (especially the white rice!) and needed for exploring the castle area which is just 15 minutes up the street.

Grand Park Hotel far exceeded my expectations for the quality of the facilities and service of the staff. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The deep soaking tub was fantastic at the end of a long day. The hotel is located in the heart of Hachinohe and was a short walk to everything that I wanted to do. I recommend their breakfast buffet as it too was exceptional.

Excellent location. Front desk consisted of one experienced staff and one trainee. Trainee had charged my card on check-in and called my room in the evening again to say I had not paid. I tried explaining to him that he charged me once already, but he did not understand any English. He proceeded to charge my card again. The next morning, he realized he had double charged and significantly delayed the check-out process as he needed to process a charge-back. Because he did not process the refund in the same currency, I now have an over charge on my credit card for the FX difference. No apology was made. Service was not up to par in accordance with typical Japanese standards.
