Hotel New Mogamiya

-Close to the train station -Spacious room -Room cleaning everyday

-No bidet

super close to the station, friendly staff, spacious room, great Japanese style breakfast

the room was smelling cigarette (but I was all cleaned), the room was cold (even with the heater on). not that I didn’t like it, but just for you to know, the staff don’t speak English, only Japanese.

1. Value for money. Honestly can't get any better than this. Private room with bath. Additional 880 yen if you want breakfast. 2. Excellent location. Less than 10 minutes walk to Yamagata station. 3. Warm and friendly staff. Hair dryer was provided upon check in. I was able to store my backpack after check-out. They also offer to change the towel daily, and when I declined they kindly informed me that it is free of charge :) Still not needed as I'm just staying for two nights. 4. Wifi works well. Shower was great, and since there's a little bath, you could soak the fatigue away as well. Hot and cold water is easy to control which is very important especially in cold weather. 5. Mini stove to boil water available in the room as well. There's also a full length mirror and sufficient hangers for one guest. 6. The switch for the lights is at the head board of the bed, and easy to use. 7. There's a lift so you don't need to carry your luggage up the stairs

1. No bottled water. Tried using water from the tap in the shower but it's quite milky so I'm not comfortable drinking it ( even after boiling ), but that's just me 2. The tv and a processor taking up unnecessary space on the dressing table 3. The only power outlet is behind the TV 4. The canned drink I put in the fridge wasn't chilled even after one day. 5. The toilet seat doesn't come equipped with bidet

the location is really good. very near to the station
