Top Mt. Zao Hotel Reviews

Hotel Metropolitan Yamagata

8/10 Good

"酒店位置很好，就在山形站旁边。房间还可以，但比较小。停车场的位置和入口非常难找，我们绕了很大一圈才找到。另外，我把洗面奶落在酒店后曾与酒店沟通，但酒店不愿意帮忙寄出，也不愿意接受到付寄送，这点体验不好。"

Kaminoyama Azumaya

8/10 Good

"The room was just like any business hotel room. It was clean but definitely dated in some places. Breakfast buffet was great. Free refreshments. Onsen was great. I added breakfast by paying extra when i made this reservation, but at the check in, I was told that it's not included. In the end all was fine."

10/10 Excellent

"Staying here was a great experience. Relaxing in our private onsen while looking out at the mountain and city was stunning. Our other favorite part was the dinner - our server was so amazing with us and compliments to the chef for preparing the delicious food. As foreigners, it was our first time trying some of these foods, and we enjoyed most of it. Thank you!"
