ART HOTEL Aomori

The room put off a feeling "this is a pretty nice little room," the moment I walked in. The furniture was nice, the TV was "nice but not huge," the carpet was nice, the bathroom was nice. The big down-side: It was uncomfortably warm in that room (in July, in Aomori), although the fact that I brought my own fan pretty much offset that. **Positives: *The black-out curtains weren't messing around. Even when it was sunny out, you wouldn't know it, if you had them drawn; they also kept the room cooler, when drawn. *The bed was super-comfortable for both sleeping on and sitting on while working on my laptop. *The TV made it easy to plug in my Switch and play some TotK. *The bathroom was 'generally pretty nice' but the shower was a stand-out; powerful, warm, and convenient. A ~very nice~ shower. *Check-in was 'pretty quick and mostly painless;' check-out was 'handed a guy my card, said thank you and was on my way.' *There was one of each of a Family Mart, 7-11 and Lawson within maybe a 4-7 min radius of the hotel. **Neutral: *I didn't check to see if there was a coin laundry in the hotel. *There were two vending machines, but I didn't use them. I don't think they had either hot coffee (which I like after meals) or zero-calorie side (which I like ~with~ meals), so they weren't useful to me. *Negatives: *The AC was weak; I supplemented it with my electric hand-fan to stay comfortable. *Room was sparkling, except for spots that clearly go ignored (eg. trim; behind stuff).

Clean room, helpful staff, good bars around the location

Very friendly staff and cozy rooms. The decorations were very neat and it felt decently central!

Nice, clean hotel with friendly staff, good food and nice clean room.

The hotel is well maintained and complimentary apple juices given and located just right beside check-in counter. All staffs are friendly. Just a drawback that it is located about 15 minute walk away from Aomori Station.

Nice location. 15 min walk to Aomori station. Staff called taxi to station which is less than 5 min drive

Clean room, nice and helpful staff. Approx 10mins walk to A-Factory (pic), Aomori Train Stn and Seaside. Love the quiet environment. As ART Hotel is approx 6mins to the bus stn, a gentle reminder for those taking the JR Coach to Aomori Airport. Be at least 10mins early at the bus stn. JR bus might be late even though google map showed the coach left (our experience). If the coach arrived fully occupied, they’ll send a 2nd Coach. My suggestion is to go 2hr earlier before flight so you can relax and enjoy nice food at the Departure Hall before boarding. Attached Arrival Bus Stop from Aomori Airport (near) and opp Departure Bus Stop to airport (far). Cheers!

The room is quite large for Japan. We especially liked there was an extra sink so someone could use it while someone was in the shower. The location was in good walking diatance to train, visitor center, and apple factory. Plenty of good food optuons as well. Curry Ramen was my favorite at a couple places.

The staff were very friendly, the hotel was very nice and a good location. Rooms were clean, with some wear and tear, but it didn’t make it seem dirty. The only negative is they just recently made all the rooms smoke free, so our room smelt of smoke, even with running the air purifier and having the window cracked open. But overall I’d stay there again.

The bed was comfortable. Parking was a bit tight but I was able to make it happen.

Ok

Extra kudos to this property. We left some stuff in the hotel room, and the staff mailed it onto a Yamato office in Tokyo. Thank you to the staff for going above and beyond!

Great hotel

Hotel is situated a distance from the train station. I would not recommend this hotel unless you are staying for more than 1 night. Rooms are well size and very clean. Bed is comfortable too

Hotel has some nice Nebuta float style items in the lobby location has parking right next to it and other contracted ones nearby if you have a rental car. The room itself is your typical Japanese room, small, big enough for your bed and that's it. It was a bit dry but they had the heat on since it was pretty much under 8 degrees the entire few days we were in there. Staff was nice, obviously because this is not Tokyo, staff speak very little English so you should use your translator app/device if needed. While I was there, they did have a fluent English speaker there that made everything a lot easier as well. Location is close to the waterfront where you can then follow to the Tourist building then to the museum and A factory and Beach.

a lot

Paid for breakfast (once because of rainstorm). Variety was good; especially enjoyed the gel heated scallop dish. Room was clean but bed was too firm. Staff was friendly.

Room was great and super cute with the lanterns. Wish the hotel buffet had a dinner option. The other restaurant in the hotel needed dinner reservations and it wasn't really suitable for our family with three young kids.

It was a Good price & condition hotel.

Clean, compact rooms, friendly service
