It kinda expensive in ski season, but still the best choice at Zao, Yamagata. Smoking room is near the lobby, which is a really bad design, you can smell the stinks every time before taking the elevator. Overall, a great place to stay. ##### HSIN HUNG ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dylan Feb 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hotel that is right next to the best base area at zao onsen resort! The junior suite was incredible, I really liked the Japanese styling with full western amenities. It was extremely spacious and having two in room ac units for the living room and bedroom was great. We never ate dinner at the hotel but my sister and I both really enjoyed the breakfast buffet both days we had it. Additionally despite a language barrier I found the service to be excellent. Hotel staff came out of the hotel to carry our bags in, and they were very helpful getting us shuttled to the bus station when we left. My only complaints are price and the indoor onsens. It was very expensive in early February, as nice as the room was, the rest of the facility didn’t quite match the price tag. Additionally the indoor onsen water smelled slightly of chlorine and doesn’t feel like it is sourced from the local sulfur springs. Personally I’d recommend skipping them and just going into town for the public baths unless it’s really late ##### Dylan Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kai Xuan Feb 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My wife and I truly enjoy our 3-days-2-nights stay at Zao Shiki No Hotel. This is our every first time visiting Zao, in Yamagata Prefecture. Free shuttle services are included to-and-fro between Yamagata Station and the hotel (with prior booking of the service) This is wonderful, and absolutely convenient. Check-in process is quick and smooth and the front-desk staff is able to communicate with us in English. The room assigned to us is on the 6 floor. It is so clean and spacious. We love the room! Breakfasts and dinners are included in our hotel booking. They are great! We enjoy our meals during our stay in the hotel. The staff in the restaurant are friendly and provide good services. Thank you for storing a bottle of Sake which I have ordered it during my dinner on the 1st night. Haha. I couldn't finish drinking the entire 300ml bottle of Sake by myself alone as my wife is not drinking it. The staff is willing to store and keep the bottle of my Sake so that I can enjoy it for my dinner on the 2nd day. Thank you team! We enjoy our stay! We will return some day in the future ! ##### Kai Xuan Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina Nov 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Every detail was considered for the ultimate relaxing stay. The meals were great, the lobby always had refreshments and the massaging chair in the room was perfect. The main draw to staying here was the hot springs. I was relieved that my tattoo was not an issue in the baths. I would love to come back and stay longer next time! ##### Christina Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave Apr 12, 2025 Particularly excellent onsen! ##### Dave Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wai Wa Jan 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities . ##### Wai Wa Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Pik YIng Catherine Feb 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort “The overall experience at the hotel was decent, but the front desk staff had a cold attitude. Every time I needed assistance, they were perfunctory, just trying to send me away without really helping. They didn’t provide detailed explanations. For example, when I rented ski equipment, they didn’t measure my height and just randomly picked skis for me. They also didn’t explain how to handle or return the equipment afterwards. The hotel also sells sightseeing tickets with discounts, but the front desk staff didn’t mention that, so I ended up paying more money. There were further problems with other requests as well. As a major brand hotel, their service quality is definitely below standard. The room rates are not cheap either." ##### Pik YIng Catherine Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KEIICHI Nov 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 部屋がとても広くて寛げました。また、スタッフの方の対応、温泉、食事、すべて素晴らしく、とても楽しく滞在することができました。 ##### KEIICHI Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### チュウジ Nov 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities スタッフの方々が親切でした。 紅葉🍁もとても綺麗でした。 ##### チュウジ Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ???
