Morioka hotels

Pros: The staff was very jovial, friendly and helpful. Everyone went out of their way to make sure that we have everything we need. They made sure that all the food we were served was cooked without salt, as we can’t have any. The house was very spacious and had incredible views of the lake and the mountains. It was very authentic but modern at the same time. The private hot spring bath was incredible.

Cons: We loved everything.

Pros: Best in-room ofuro ever! Loved it!

Pros: Everything is of the highest quality here. The rooms are spotlessly clean, the food is fantastic and reasonably priced. The location is lovely; very quiet but close to Morioka. I would recommend using a hire car however to get places nearby. We were made to feel very welcome when we arrived, nd were given tea and Japanese sweets while our room was being prepared. The indoor and outdoor baths are fantastic; so relaxing and warm. The service for the food is brilliant, and the food itself is so tasty. Everything in the rooms is of a very high quality: from small things like the umbrella or even the pens. It's easy to see where the cost is spent. Our hosts were very very nice, I can't recommend this place highly enough if you are looking for an authentic feel with high quality, privacy, romance and relaxation. We stayed here for 3 nights and I really didn't want to leave. Next time I visit Tohoku I will definitely stay again. Thanks so much for a wonderful 3 days.

Cons: Nothing. It was perfect for me.

Pros: Amazing place that is magically relaxing. Our room had interior and exterior onsens which both overlooked a gorgeous river. The staff was very helpful and made wonderful suggestions. Such a lovely splurge.

Cons: It would be near impossible to find a fault.

Pros: The rooms were actually individual cabins. There were two hot springs in the room!

Pros: Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations. Staff were lovely and able to accomodate our request for transportation to & from the villa (to Morioka station). The meals were of restaurant quality. Wish we had stayed longer than one night! Incredibly peaceful and relaxing location. Thank you!

Cons: -Smoking smell , not good for family with children. Japanese people smoking a lot and if hotel do not separate area , smell will interrupt other people and children.

Pros: Outstanding buffet breakfast with more items offered than one could count.

Cons: Would preferred to be closer to the train station. Had to take a taxi, Y780, with luggage. Selected the Daiwa Hotel chain because of previous good experience with them.

Pros: Location was good.

Cons: The size of the bathroom. Ompared to the other Daiwa Roynet hotels we stayed in, this hotel needed to be updated in items decor.

Pros: Excellent onsen. Very good dinner and breakfast.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Dinner was lovely, as was the view of the lake from the lobby.

Cons: Way too expensive. Pretentious. Obviously targets wedding parties. Difficulty communicating as a foreign tourist, come with someone who can translate. For some reason wait times for the elevators are ridiculous. Couldn't figure out where the shuttle from the station was supposed to be. Had difficulty finding towels, and nowhere to hang them.

Pros: the japanese style breakfast

Pros: Great view, great onsen, great service

Cons: Could be more clean in the room.

Pros: Beautiful lake and mountain views. Food was great. Very nice large indoor and outdoor onsen. Shuttle bus to Morioka station.

Cons: No local buses to explore as I did not have a car. Did not have an exercise room.

Pros: Wonderful experience in Morioka. Facilities were older but really well taken care of. The spa was great and the men's and women's sections were switched over daily, so within two days we were able to experience every spa. Great view of the lake from one of the baths. The staff are unable to speak English, so if you don't know Japanese, you might have trouble with check in and getting around, but they are super friendly and accommodating. We felt so comfortable in our room and had a lovely view. Something to note: if you prefer a non smoking room, you'd have to call ahead and ask for the 8th or 11th floor (the only floors that are non smoking), as Booking did not seem to have an option listed for this hotel when we booked it. We were on a smoking floor, but it really wasn't as bad as one would assume, I could only slightly smell it in the hallways. The breakfast buffet is so delicious, mostly Japanese food and all well made. The hotel is 25 minutes away from Morioka station and there isn't much around. They have a free shuttle that runs at certain times, which you would want to call ahead to let them know you are arriving. Otherwise it's about 4500 yen one way to the station by taxi. I would definitely stay here again, we really enjoyed it.

Pros: The hotel staff was so perfectly friendly and supported so much to make the stay a memorable experience! The dinner and breakfast was very delicious and full of local fresh ingredients. I loved the stay so much!

Pros: Really good value for money. Room clean and comfortable. Location within walking distance from train station. Surrounded by shops and eatery. We were very pleased and happy with our stay here. Will definitely return.

Cons: Centrally controlled air-conditioning so unable to adjust to one's preference. Would be helpful if there are more coin operated laundry machines available.

Pros: Not too far from train station, got good welcome cookies from staff. The room is spacious.

Cons: A bit old hotel.

Pros: The main reason I decided to stay at the Metropolitan New Wing hotel was its proximity to the Morioka's Railway Station, since apart from visiting the city itself, I had planned to take day trips to some nearby tourist spots. Not to be confused with its "elder brother", the Metropolitan, that's directly accessible from the station, the New Wing is a mere 5-7 minute walk from the time you get off your train. My room, a standard one, was relatively large, clean, quiet and kept in good conditions even though, a renovation would be welcome to remove that sense of "outdated" you feel from the very first moment. Unfortunately, due to downtown Morioka layout, being close to the railway station means you'll have to walk some 15-20 minutes before you get to a real foodie paradise, where you are presented a number of restaurants, bars and japanese pubs scattered through a large semi-pedestrian area built around a main street and several alleys on both of its sides. Remember westerners are much less common here than in other more touristy cities so, don't worry if there's no english menu on sight, just enter and enjoy the japanese hospitality: you won't disappointed. Aren't you fancy walking? A few hundred meters away from the hotel entrance, you'll find a bunch of eateries popular with locals. Checking in and out from the Metropolitan New Wing was quite a quick process and, more in general, the outsanding kindness of its Front Desk Staff makes you feel like you were staying in a upmarket hotel.

Pros: The location only

Cons: The rate n the hotel’s old

Pros: The centralized location made Hotel Metropolitan Morioka a great hotel to explore the various tourist locations of Iwate Perfecture. The facilities are generally good and adequate and the staff are attentive and helpful.

Cons: The hotel do not have self laundry facilities for long period travelers (more than one week). It will be good to introduce a few machines should more tourist arrive. There is no gym facilities but visitor could always make use of the nice path within the morioka city for their daily dose of exercise

Pros: Customer service (for example: I was able to leave my luggage before check-in and it was brought to the room), very reasonable price / quality ratio, friendly staff. The interior is relatively new (Flatscreen TV, good working WIFI). Everything was super clean and the Hotel is in a quiet area but very central.

Cons: The Hotel is without 4g and in the darkness a little bit hard to find, because at the Building it says "HOTEL DU NORD" and not Kita Hotel (at least in non-Japanese writing) #confusing

Pros: The hotel has great views and offers free shuttle from Morioka station.

The actual schedule is written on the bus stand. The outdoor onsen is beautiful and you can walk around the area of the lake and the water gardens on the other side of the lake.
