This hotel suits people who arrive and leave by train or airport bus. Guests say it has direct covered access to shops, places to eat and convenience stores inside the station complex. In winter weather, that matters. The property lists a gym, a restaurant, family rooms, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi.
Skip it if you want a modern bathroom. Some guests report damp smells and dated fixtures. Travellers on a tight budget can also save a lot with our Budget pick, which cost less than half as much.
Location and getting around
The address is Nakadori 7-2-1. Guests rate the location 9.1 out of 10 and say the hotel is steps from the train lines and the airport bus terminal.
The Akita Museum of Art is about 0.6 km away, roughly 8 minutes on foot. Kubota Castle is about 0.8 km, around 10 minutes. Akita Castle is about 4.9 km, around 61 minutes walking, so it is far and you should plan public transport or a taxi. These are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
With 2,151 reviews and a score of 8.8, the hotel placed joint 2nd of 9 eligible properties in our sample. That large review base makes the score reliable.
Guests mostly praise the location and transport links. The bathroom splits opinion. It is described as spacious and barrier-free, which helps travellers with limited mobility, but some guests mention damp odours and dated fixtures.
