Aomori Center Hotel

Absolutely loved this hotel! It offers incredible value for money, including breakfast and a large public bath. Downstairs, there's also a lounge area and a manga reading room – simply perfect! 😍 It's just a 5-minute walk from the subway station and close to excellent shopping spots.

The room was clean and bright, and the mattress was comfortable for a good night's sleep. The staff were friendly and enthusiastic. The location is excellent, with convenient transportation. The breakfast selection was rich and delicious. Overall, it offers great value for money, and I will definitely stay here again!

A very pleasant surprise of a hotel! Most of the guests were Japanese, with very few tourists. It includes a buffet breakfast and a hot spring bath. The hot spring, in particular, was like an old-fashioned public bathhouse, and many locals from nearby areas came to use it. Highly recommended!

I returned to this hotel after my last visit in January, and the friendly front desk staff were just as helpful to us foreigners! The combination of the hotel and hot spring is fantastic. It's super convenient to walk to Aomori Station or the nearby bus stop to transfer to Shin-Aomori Station. However, it gets very quiet around the hotel at night; you'll need to go to the station or the shopping street for more activity. But the hotel itself has a hot spring and restaurant, and there's a convenience store right outside the alley. If you're truly focused on a relaxing getaway and not planning to shop, this hotel is an excellent choice! I look forward to visiting again next season!

Don't let the hotel's unassuming exterior fool you. While the rooms aren't huge, they're incredibly well-equipped, proving that 'good things come in small packages.' The breakfast spread is extensive, with delicious and fresh food. There's a decent-sized hot spring that I visited daily – it was so relaxing and great for my health. Nights were wonderfully quiet, ensuring fantastic sleep. This hotel offers amazing value for money, and the staff are all incredibly friendly. Highly recommended!

I booked this hotel for April 22nd, and when the earthquake hit off the coast of Aomori on April 20th, I tried to cancel, but they said free cancellation wasn't possible. This hotel was ridiculously overpriced for Aomori's cherry blossom season, and the decor was dated, though the staff were polite. It has a hot spring that locals use, too. The room was tiny. A hotel I wouldn't pay more than 250 yuan for on a normal day was charging over 900 yuan! What really annoyed me was that after risking aftershocks to even get there, I saw the room rate drop by 30% that very day! The Dormy Inn just around the corner was only around 600 yuan a night and a much newer hotel. I honestly wouldn't recommend this place.

This hotel is great! They provide yukata and travel-sized toiletries. The breakfast is delicious, and the lobby offers a free coffee machine and tea bags. The onsen has both indoor and outdoor pools, which are really relaxing. It's about a 10-minute walk from Aomori Station. The value for money is excellent, and I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Aomori.

My family and I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. We found it to be good value for money, enjoying the family bath and hot springs once each. We booked two rooms, a large and a small one, with breakfast and dinner included, and made good use of them every day, experiencing delicious Japanese food. The cleaning staff were very friendly, and for the 5 days, we declined room cleaning, only requesting replenishment of 부족한 items. The problem occurred on our last day during breakfast. About 10 minutes before the 9 AM closing time, my mother, out of consideration for the restaurant staff, decided to pour her remaining coffee into a paper cup to clear the table. At this point, an old man, standing with his hands spread on the kitchen counter, started yelling loudly at us in an incomprehensible language. My whole family was startled and bewildered, not understanding what he was saying. As foreigners who don't speak Japanese, we couldn't understand him. Hearing him continue to yell loudly, we quickly understood from his demeanor that we should pour the coffee back into the cup and leave. There were other guests present, and this experience was the worst, ruining our entire family's perception of Japan. A little while later, I went to ask the old man about it, but he pretended not to understand English and avoided conversation, walking away. We couldn't understand why he was standing in the kitchen like a king with his arms spread, shouting, when a friendly translation app or direct, clear guidance would have made things understood immediately. Also, it was uncomfortable to see the restaurant staff constantly scrutinizing the number of plates people were using. This is probably because each food item is served on individual plates. It's been a long time since the trip ended, but that incident still pops into my mind. My family still talks about it. I hope that such rigid and inappropriate behavior doesn't ruin the enjoyable trips of tourists. We are foreigners (Koreans) and felt disrespected. I briefly explained this to the front desk using a translation app, and the female staff member offered continuous polite apologies. Due to our departure schedule, I couldn't speak with the old man again, and not receiving an apology from him might be the reason I won't visit Japan again.

We enjoyed delicious Japanese food every day. The problem arose on the last day during breakfast. About 10 minutes before the 9 AM closing time, my mother, trying to be considerate of the restaurant staff, poured her remaining coffee into a paper cup, intending for our family of four to clear our dishes and leave. At that moment, an old man, leaning with both hands on the kitchen counter, loudly shouted something unintelligible at us. Our entire family was startled, confused, and didn't understand what he was saying. As foreigners who don't speak Japanese, we couldn't comprehend him. After hearing him repeatedly shout loudly, we guessed we should pour the coffee back into the cup and left. Other guests were present, and this experience was the worst, ruining our family's impression of Japan. Shortly after, we tried to ask the old man about it, but he pretended not to understand English and avoided conversation, retreating into the kitchen. If there's a communication barrier, they should use a friendly translation app or clearly guide guests with actions instead of a kitchen staff member standing like a king with arms outstretched, shouting. Also, it was uncomfortable to have restaurant staff constantly watching how many plates people took, probably because individual dishes were served one by one.

I hope they don't ruin tourists' enjoyable trips with rigid and inappropriate behavior. We felt disrespected as foreigners. I briefly explained this to the front desk using a translator, and a female staff member repeatedly offered polite apologies. Due to our departure schedule, we couldn't speak with the old man again or receive an apology, which is probably why we won't be returning to Japan.
