Hotel JAL City Aomori

Conveniently located, 10 min walk to JR Aomori Station, staff friendly and helpful but limited English, we used Google Translate to communicate, room had good quality amenities such as toothbrush, hairbrush, razor but no lotion. Fridge and kettle provided. Check in is strictly at 2pm.

The room I booked (Deluxe Comfort Corner Twin) which is 23 sqm, is spacious and has large windows overseeing the bay. Room is very clean, and it even has a Dyson hair dryer. staff are very helpful and friendly too. Price wise is definitely value for money. It is close to Lawson, a nice restaurant though is a bit of walk from Aomori station. In winter, it is difficult to lug the luggage. Would be better to call a taxi. But other seasons are fine. Hotel staff can help with calling of taxi. The other room I booked for the first night, a small double which is 17 sqm is comfortable but a bit too cramped in my opinion. Booked the rooms early as the hotel is popular.

The room, although a little cramped for two people with the bed pushed against one wall, was always warm during the late autumn days. Bed was otherwise comfortable although the provision of one thin pillow was unexpected. The bathroom was clean and the shower facilities were satisfactory. Internet with a password was fine. The breakfast was a big plus with a wide range of excellently prepared mostly East Asian dishes. Food items were replaced quickly if they ran out. Staff were always helpful even if our lack of Japanese language was not easy for them.

This Hotel has lots of lovely little surprises, like the afternoon sampling of Aomori cuisine and drinks. The staff are friendly and will go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The property is well located, with a great view of the highlighted building of the information and community, it is one street away from the main street with shops and restaurants. It is an easy walk to and from the train station, even in the heavy snow..

This place was amazing. The rooms are very small however stocked with anything you might need. Very comfortable bed and pillows. The hotel had a special going while we were there, which was free drinks and nibble type food every evening from 4pm till 8pm. Very generous. Breakfast is buffet style with loads to choose from. Great location, close to railway and lots of restaurants and shops. I highly recommend this place.
