Reviews of Sendai Guest House UMEBACHI 1 stars

My little room, a partition of living and shower/toilet space had a window with a little japanese garden.

The noisiest and most expensive hostel I have encountered throughout my Japan trip. The 8.9 marked in Booking. com is far from today's reality. I honestly start losing my trustworthiness in Booking.com's rating criteria. They organised dinner parties in the small living area, right next to my room which was divided by a thin wall. 15 people shared 1 shower for each gender as well as 1 toilet for each gender only. Every step from the upper floor could be heard in my room. No isolation in the entire house. Not recommendable to tourists sensitive to noise.

The staff is extremely friendly, willing to share points of views, the food is great, the atmosphere welcoming, the beds comfy. Probably the best accommodation of our stay in Japan !

The staff were amazing - so welcoming, friendly and happy to help. The dinner was done family style with the other guests and was an absolute highlight! Rooms comfy and good facilities !

Every staff is very friendly and kind. There is a dinner time to communicate with other travellers and staff as well.

Staff were super outgoing and very friendly. Also met a lot of interesting fellow travelers. Would highly recommend.

Really homey and everyone connects

warm and friendly staff and cozy space, lively atmosphere at night! great if you want to make friends during your stay.

lights off at 11pm as the guesthouse is in a residential area; people who like to stay out late may find it inconvenient.

Masaki-San, his family and staff were exceptional hosts. They ran the guesthouse in a way that made it very easy to meet other guests, no matter where they were from. The dinners provided were lovely, and morning stretches followed by breakfast was a great way to start the day.

Quiet hours starting at 23:00 was my only issue. But that is because this guesthouse made me want to talk all night long. Which is definitely not a negative.

Wonderful staff. They were the highlight of my stay. Bed is comfortable and the facilities are well kept. Would highly recommend staying here.

Nothing wrong. I would come again.

Awesome people, amazing place, I had a great time, if I ever come back to Japan I will come back for sure

I stayed here for 5 nights and had a wonderful time. It's a great place to meet people and the owners are very friendly.

The dinner that we paid for at the place was delicious and I recommend it highly!

Hosts were very hospitable, I enjoyed passing time chatting at the living area. They sold home made umeshu that was delicious. With some of the other guests, one that could play guitar, we had a pretty fun karaoke session.

It was probably as good as you couldve hoped for for a guest house stay.

The host is a wonderful man and offered a delicious dinner for JPY 1000! As he is a former cook, it was really delicious! It was also nice to have a common space to share with the other guests and share our experiences, and have some social interaction in general. The woodwork in the rooms - such as the beds - were also made by the host himself and is really top-notch!

I had a little trouble sleeping on the mattresses, which are harder than what I was used to, but the fact each bed is like a capsule with heavy curtains meant it was dark and quiet, which helped a lot!

Staff are very nice and friendly

Showing time close at 2230 was too early.

Very warm atmosphere in Umebachi, we played kendama with their daughter, drank sake togetgher and went on a night walk togther. It felt like I was in a small family for a bit. I met with an amazing guy from Taiwan that I met again in Tokyo a few weeks later cause we had kept contact. The personel was very patient and keen on speaking either english/japanese. Really enjoyed my short stay there

The only thing I could say I appreciated less was that it was not long enough. The house was lovely and the people gave good advice. I did have heavy luggages so coming from the station was a bit tougher as there is a short metro ride and a bit of walking but all and all it was nice stay. A bit further from the center than I expected but that was alright.

If you are looking for accommodation with a familiar and extremely positive and warm vibe, this is the place for you! We felt very welcome from the very first second and would like to thank the owners for this incredible experience!
