3 star hotels in Yamagata

Hotel staff helped me to send my luggage to another hotel location thanks! The room is clean and big tv!

Super convenient directly connected to the JR train station. Very clean. Only flaws may be compact space and heating is too strong, but not significant problems at all.

Good Location, easy to go on train. Good service and the room is very big.

It’s right at the station, so you don’t have to step outside. The room is clean, warm, and comfortable.

Excellent location with good service, parking is easy and many restaurants nearby. Walking distance to malls and train station. Good customer service, good room size.

Fantastic location, the hotel is in the Yamagata Station itself. Zao Station is outside the hotel. We went to Ginzan Onsen via JR to Oishida Station., it just took 40 minutes. There is a shopping centre called S-Pal, very convenient. I will re-book the hotel when returning to Yamagata. Recommended 👍👍👍👍👍👍🥰🥰

Richmond Yamagata Ekimae is the best. Price is best, service and cleanliness is superb. Free Soba, ice cream and soft drink on 2nd till 10:00pm. Highly recommended!

Lovely stay in Yamagata, would definitely recommend!

Around 5 min walk from JR station and there is a Aeon next to it. Good for a short stay before heading to ZAO.

Very near to Yamagata Station, convenient to go anywhere.

This room is spacious and comfy service is great

This hotel is located conveniently. There are railway stations and bus terminals near. You can use this hotel as a base and visit other places by public transport. Some travelers live in this hotel and go to Zao Onsen ski resort for skiing or snowboarding. There are a lot of places to eat or go shopping.

Good location. Very close the station,have a public bath but too small. Breaskfast is good.

Hotel is very close to Yamagata station. Room is not that new but overall is ok.

The room was clean and well-insulated, equipped with heating and an air purifier. Bathing in the large public bath was very comfortable, and there were coin-operated washers and dryers available. The in-room TV allowed us to check the public bath's crowdedness and the laundry machines' usage status. A 24-hour supermarket is just a one-minute walk away, and Yamagata Station is a three-minute walk,...

Nice location Just less than five minutes walking distance from Yamagata station, a 24 hours supermarket just behind the hotel Onsen is good Overall nice hotel

Convenient for transportation. Breakfast was OK. Onsen was OK. Free alcohol drinks or juice if you choose eco cleaning.

Nice and clean business hotel very near the Yamagata train station. Location is top notch! Basic hotel with everything you'd need. There is an artificial onsen on the 14th floor, which was good for a soak after a long day. Breakfast buffet was basic but tasty. Warm foods like rice, miso soup, bacon, stir fried veggies, etc were available in addition to some pastries and bread with butter and jams....

Far from bus station. About 25 mins walk. Breakfast is very good with a wide variety of choice. Onsen is good. Service is friendly. Surrounded by Lawson, 7 eleven and family mart. Lots of shops around.

I think this hotel is in a great location and offers excellent service. However, it's a 20-30 minute walk from Yamagata Station, so if walking is too much for you, I recommend taking a taxi. It's a short walk if you stroll around town while sightseeing, so don't worry about that. Also, there's a hot spring on the first floor, but it's open until midnight, so if you want to take a night bath, there...

Perfectly comfortable and in a very good location in the center of yamagata.

I booked a smoking room with twin beds. I was able to spend a comfortable time with my friend and was very satisfied.

There was hair on the shower head. There was a coffee stain on the surface of the kettle. I wonder if they didn't wipe it. It's a shame. There is a large public bath, but it's not very spacious and there were other families in it, so we gave up on using it.

The whole hotel gives an old impression. The air conditioning is centrally controlled and the temperature cannot be set. The bathtub is small and it's not possible to relax in it. I think there is a reason why it is cheap. There is a multi-story parking lot behind the hotel where you can park for 750 yen per night. I think the Washington Hotel in front of Yamagata Station is several times better.

The staff is very helpfull. Cek in and cek out process are easy. The room is compact. The scenery I can see from room window are amazing. I don't booking room with breakfast, so I can give a review about the food.

A walkable distance from train station, nice stay with comfort room and delicious breakfast buffet

Great staff, great location and spacious rooms. A little old and worn , but reasonably maintained, bathrooms are tight likely to need upgrade soon. But overall is okay

This hotel offers great value for money, especially during ski season. It's conveniently located not far from Yamagata Station, making it easy to get around.

Hotel is near to both the convenience stores and near food places that closes till late. Decent heat in the room during winter. Only issues probably is its just a basic living in a hotel kind of standard and amenities.

Great location, clean room that matched the pictures. All amenities were provided. The only downside was the parking; it's available but comes with an extra charge. Breakfast was decent, and the staff were lovely and very helpful.

The bathtub's drainage was a bit slow, which was a minor inconvenience.

The rooms are a bit small; you'll need to book the largest one to get a separate lounge area. There's a parking discount available; just ask the front desk when you check in. It's only a 30-minute drive from the hotel to the ski resort.

The room was very large and spacious for a family of three. The hotel was a bit dated, but very comfortable. The beds were not the best, not very supportive on the back and shoulders. Overall, it was a comfortable two night stay in a very nice and convenient area with a lot of restaurant choices within 500 meters.

Good location. Clean and easy to find. Quite centralised..

The location is a 15-minute walk from JR Yamagata Station, which is a bit far. However, it's a traditional Western-style luxury hotel with impressive decor. The rooms are very spacious with ample hanging space for coats. All necessary toiletries are provided. If you don't mind the location, it's a very good choice.

Good food good onsen but the room small for4persons

Had another enjoyable stay at Yamagata Eki Nishiguchi Washington Hotel. This time I especially appreciated how quiet and peaceful the hotel was, making it easy to get a proper rest even after a long day of travel. The room was clean and well-kept, with everything functioning properly and arranged in a practical way. It’s not large, but it feels comfortable and efficient for solo travelers or short...

Good location. Super convenient for connecting to Sao Onsen.

Location is excellent for transport and restaurants. Good for easy daily commute to Zao Onsen. The single room is tiny which was fine for me but if you have big suitcase or ski kit it will be cramped. The staff were very nice and stored my luggage all day on check out day at no cost. It’s not hard to find just follow the pictures it’s on 24th floor of obviously tallest building next to station. Bed...

The room facilities are a bit old, but everything is very clean. It's about a 5-minute walk from Yamagata Station. From the second floor of the station, head towards the West Exit, then take the elevator directly to the 24th floor, where the front desk is located. The breakfast was also good.

The hotel is right next to Yamagata Station, with a direct connection. You take the express elevator from the second floor of the building up to the 24th floor, where the front desk is located. The room was clean, quiet, and well-equipped. From the station's exit, you can walk to the East Exit where the bus terminal is, offering buses to Zao Onsen and Sendai. The food court and shopping area nearby...

The hotel is nice and clean, and it is conveniently located near the train station. It’s very easy to get around👍🏻👍🏻

Very close to JR , many shop around hotel. Overall is good , recommend to stays this hotel.

The place is okay if you’re doing a short stay in Yamagata.

Very convenient hotel. Public bath is super helpful and breakfasts are good. But be careful if you are more than 1.85m tall, you will hit ceilings.

Nice hotel and Hotel Service is so good ! Nice Breakfast and Onsen

Fantastic location with friendly staff

good location, near yamagata station

Overall ok but a bit old and the aircond was centralized system. That night we stayed in Heat mode. The whole night we felt hot and unable to breathe due to the room seems like no air and the window not allowed to open. Others still can accept with the valuables price.

The hotel is right near Yamagata station, and there are lots of restaurants around.

The location is good and there are a lot of restaurant nearby. The staff are okay and the cleanliness is good. Worthy to the price.

Extremely convenient, very close to the station. It's clean and near a Family Mart, with lots of food options right next to the hotel. Highly recommend! The room size is just right, not too cramped.

Very Good location, good staff, clean, near yamagata station

This hotel is located just in front of Yamagata JR / Shinkansen station, it’s perfect for a family stay especially with childrens Becos of very short distance walk only from Yamagata station. Highly recommended Becos not only location is perfect, room are clean.

The hotel is 10min walk from the station, quite far especially when you have heavy lugguage. The room is pretty small and I can here very clearly the voice of other people talking, as well as they can hear me well if I talk. I tried to play a video, then I went outside and closed the door, yeahhh, I could hear the sound very well.

It's nice but 10 minutes walk from the station and the breakfast was very underwhelming.

Friendly staff and great location. Rooms were noisy because of little to no soundproofing.

Not too far from Yamagata Station. Very friendly and helpful staff. Even received free goodies when checking-in! Breakfast leaves a LOT to be desired though - it was just a hot drink and some bread, nothing more. Check-out was incredibly smooth!

Clean, spacious, the food delicately prepared and delicious. It provides free beverages and snacks, the breakfast is very good spread, dinner is delicous. A very relaxing stay with the many open space, hammock, bean bags. big libraries of comics and magazine.

Enjoyed a relaxing day! There are plenty of lounging areas within the hotel. We booked a room with a private onsen bath. One night with two meals, very satisfying. The staff were polite. ❤️❤️❤️

The service was excellent, and the staff were very proactive and friendly. The food was also great, and the environment was incredibly comfortable and peaceful. It was a truly relaxing hot spring trip!

I stayed western room, but feel a little bit old inside, but all other comment area are designed warm and comfortable.

Overall, in line with expected expectations, if you want to go to the ******* King Hot Spring skiing is a good option.

It's a very nice hotel, especially the four rooms with private hot springs on the first floor, which are definitely worth it. It would be even more comfortable on a snowy winter day.

Although not exactly ski-in-ski-out but location is good enough. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Facilities are well-maintained.

nice room size, meal is good. But Onsen is a bit small and no view at all.

Hotel located at hilltop adjacent to Zao ropeway station. It’s onsen is really good despite quite acidic. Don’t soak too long or it’ll be exceptionally itchy to your skin. Package dinner is ok.

We arrived late (20:15) due to temporary closure of Sendai Airport (tsunami warning), and obviously we were late for the hotel dinner after having to travel all the way up from Narita instead. We were tired and hungry when we arrived, but the hotel disappointed us even more for not reserving our paid dinners for us, nor was there a reimbursement. Did they just throw the food away after all the preparation...

I really recommend this hotel 10 points! The private room is 10 points cheap, the view from the room is beautiful, the hygiene is 10 points good, and the service is also very good 

The hotel rooms are spacious and the environment is comfortable. The large public bath has a nice environment and is divided into indoor and open-air baths. Breakfast and dinner are also delicious, the food quality is high, I will come again next time!

We enjoyed our stay very much. We had a 3 nights stay right before Xmas 2025. I was a bit worried reading some negative reviews here but it wasn’t true at all. The staff are very friendly and could speak English as well. The biggest perks is it provides free shuttle pick up to and from Yamagata station while most of Zao hotels provide pick up from Zao bus station. Food is great, onsen is great, everything...

A wonderful immersion into Japanese hospitality. The staff speak limited English, which we felt enhanced the authenticity of the experience. The dining was exceptional where we were treated to a variety of unique and delicious dishes. You don’t always know what you’re eating, but it’s a perfect spot for people who value local flavor over international standardisation. Then only a few minutes walk to...

This is a lovely hotel. Its very close to the lift about 6mins walk. We got the full dinner and breakfast package. The meals are great, there was 3 set meals. But be prepared for very authentic Japanese. The staff speak little to no English, my partners small amount of Japanese got us through most situations, but we did resort to google translate a few times.

Very pleasant stay in Zao. I was there on the last weekend of January. The hotel is next to the Ski-Snowboard trails and next to a lift that brings you to the top of the trails. The dinner and breakfast where super. It has 2 ofuros. One small in the second floor. Nothing really special about this one. The other one is outside the hotel, very near the aki trails. It is an outdoor Onsen, very beautiful...

Staff Nice manner and delicious food and tidy and clear room and indoor and outdoor onsen where also near the skiing slide. WiFi is faster and smooth

Very grand nice hotel, beautiful meals, great Onsens, handy for the ski lifts. Excellent staff cater efficiently to request. Lovely entrance and foyer.

The room is okay with good view but the lobby smells a bit like cigarettes

The hotel's staff ( the man & old lady ) not speek English. But they were very nice & kind. Both of them gave us the best service!

Pros: Buffet breakfast Spacious room Easy check-in and out using machine Nice view and very near to skiing area Cons: No lift to bring your luggage up if your room is located in 3rd flr. Shared shower room located in basement

this is one of the good place i ever stay, the breakfast buffet was good, a lot of variety to eat. the room is clean anda quiet place to relax. the skii was also near it very affordable even playing for snow only. good for family stay, highly recommended.

You can take a taxi (5-6 minutes, 630-850 yen) to the entrance of Kaminodai before 18:00. You can leisurely watch the snow slopes and have breakfast every morning. It only takes 5 minutes to walk to the No. 4 cable car and 15 minutes to hike up and down the mountain. -20 minutes. The bosses are kind. Only the shared bathroom is too small for only four people.

The only down side about G-Square is the walk up from the bus station. All up hill & very steep. There is a middle street just off to the right of the bus station exit that is heated which is better than the steep street. Also a couple of public onsen's off it as well. The accommodation was fine but no lift made the walk up to Level 3 an act of attrition, especially after the walk up the hill. Breakfast...

Lovely little guesthouse with a friendly owner. Well located.

The perfect place to stay if you are in the area. Location-wise, it is just a stone's throw away from the Zao Ropeway and mulitple ski rental shops. The receptionist who served us is an amazing woman who does so many things - running the cafe, cleaning our rooms and toilets, manning the check-ins and outs... And she does it all with a big smile. Totally no regrets staying here for 3 nights and would...

The location so near with zao rope way and the owner so friendly

Nice burger with rice for lunch in Zao Onsen area.

very nice 主人,the french dinner is perfect and near the 滑雪場

Room is small but clean and they provide amenities. Staff is friendly. Breakfast has many varieties. Location is near train station.

Location is good, just 5 minutes walk from Yamagata station, opposite is a shopping mall, breakfast is OK. Service is good.

Staff is very helpful, Breakfast is delicious, Max Value is just across the street, 250m walk to Yamagata Station

The hotel is conveniently located directly opposite a 24-hour Aeon supermarket. The facilities on the ground floor are comprehensive, and the breakfast is delicious. Highly recommend!

They offer luggage storage when you arrive. The hotel is close to the train station. Breakfast is simple and not very extensive.

Free breakfast, amenities, and tea are provided. The front desk staff is very friendly, and it's close to Yamagata Station. There's a 24-hour supermarket nearby. Overall, it's great value for money.
