APA Hotel TKP Sendai-Ekikita

Property is properly located next to Sendai Station. Very quiet regardless of the train and Shinkansen traffic.

The hotel was nice and next to the station and downtown Sendai. The pillows are a little unpleasant however.

I chose this hotel based on its close proximity to the train station. There are walkways connecting the station to the hotel, but be aware that if you wish to use the 2nd floor access route to/from the train station, there are stairs to navigate which poses a problem for disability access, prams, or heavy luggage. Getting in via the first floor can be a bit roundabout depending on where you're coming from so plan ahead. The room is compact inside so space will be at a premium if you have many/big bags, but I expected this from a previous APA stay did not find it to be a problem. The staff is capable, rooms are clean, the bed is comfortable, the bathroom is fully equipped with all the basics. The TV offers what can best be described as an inflight-entertainment style suite of movies and programs. In addition to accessing the station, the same system of elevated walkways into the hotel also connect to nearby malls and give access to the area's main shopping street, which was very convenient. Getting to buses, trains, the subway, or Shinkansen from this hotel was very easy. Sendai is a great city to visit, and this hotel is a solid option if you wish to spend more time out sightseeing than relaxing indoors.
