Exactly as I would expect, clean, tidy, staff friendly. Still can't get used to the pillows budget Japanese hotels provide so I pack a little one. Apart from this the room is very comfortable. A cooked breakfast is not offered at this APA but muffins, toast and coffee provided in the foyer in the morning. Convenience stores close by if you wanted a cooked breakfast.

Wonderful location, wonderful staff and wonderful hotel overall. The moment you arrive you feel welcomed, the lobby gives the vibes of a 5 stars hotel. Its crazy that the hotel is located exactly at the train station (makes everything easier) and the building is so big that if you get a room on a high floor, you have wonderful mountain views. I really loved the staff, specially a receptionist that helped us with a dining reservation. Unfortunately I forgot his name, but he made our stay beyond special. THANK YOU.
It was overall such a nice stay, I loved Yamagata and its sorroundings. The staff seems to be professionally trained and they can also speak good english. They have many type of rooms, we had the classic double room and even though it was not modern, we had a LOT of space and everyday cleaning/water. If I ever come to Yamagata again I would definetly stay here and also recommend it to others. I even wish we stayed here longer!

The Yamagata Ski area (Zao Onsen) is fantastic. It wasnt crowded, lessons for kids and adults were AUD$55 for 4 hours, lifts were @4$ per lift. Gear hire was AUD$65 for 2 days PP. In Australia lift passes are $250 per day alone. The hotel Sailor Hutte was literally at the base of the ski lifts. Food was cheap ($10-14 per meal) booze was cheap ($3.50 for a beer). The guys at the Hotel Sailor Hutte were great, make an effort to chat with them via your translator app. Its worth it. One more thing, I would recommend buying Shinkansen tickets directly from JR East rail online. Heaps cheaper than buying a seven day pass unless you are planning to spend 7 days on the train. FYI there are 3 Shinkansen companies East, Central and West. They have there own websites a bit clunky in English but it works. Good luck.

Yamagata is a beautiful mountainous prefecture.
Yamagata is a beautiful mountainous prefecture. There are many places to visit and things to do. We rented a car and I believe this is a must if you want to sight see and time is an issue for you. By car from Yamagata train station, Zao Onsen is about 40-50 minutes away, Ginzan Onsen an hour, Yamadera about 20-30 mins. If you are into photography, there are many great landscape photos you can take here.

Not very famous place for travelingas not much to see in the city.
If you could have a car or rent one, could go more places.
Basically in Yamagata prefecture, public transportation doesn't cover much as it is not a prefecture mainly for sightseeing though there are several nice places to go.
Spacious room. Smart TV that allows you to watch youtube/ netflix on big screen if you don't understand Japanese programs. Good quality communal kitchen. Big fridge, nice island counter for stove and wash basin. There are vending machines for toiletries, snacks, drinks and instant noodles. The smoking room connected to the kitchen has good ventilation such that no cigarette smell escape into the non-smoking area.
Simple self check-in with machine with passport scanning. Helps keep cost down?
Wide variety of options for breakfast, though best if you like a Japanese breakfast. Certainly did not go hungry, plus there is a big supermarket right behind the hotel. Very comfortable beds. Loved being able to leave luggage after checkout before going to Ginzan Onsen for the day. The location is very convenient to the JR station for trains plus also for catching the bus in the morning to Zao Onsen.
One of the luxury accommodations in the town. Hotel is annexed to the city's train station, making it a perfect location for a home base if you will be touring the prefecture.
Bars and izakaya restaurants across the street from the hotel.
Breakfast is expensive but elaborate.
Friendly english speaking and non english speaking staff.
Bed leans on the hard side, which is the standard across japan.
The staff were very nice and relaxed, but very attentive and made an effort to speak in English with their foreign staff. They also were available late at night and have some medication for common aliments if you are feeling sick during your stay. The food in the little restaurant was delicious, and the location of the hotel was really great, being right next to the major ski lifts.

Our room was absolutely amazing, we got the suite with onsen on the veranda. The onsen on the top floor had a fantastic view of the surrounding mountains. The dinners were delicious and the souvenir shop had a nice selection of goods. Interior design of the hotel was very interesting, fun to explore. Overall service was impeccable, very friendly and helpful staff.
I spent one night here and would have loved to stay longer. Hide-san created a little paradise in his house. As a solo traveller or couple, if you are looking for a social/local experience with long nights of talking and sharing with the other guests, this is the perfect place. Home-cooked dinner based on donation was the best food I've had in Japan so far.
I enjoyed the public bath, the convenience store on site. The location and the free parking was a real blessing. Nice city, friendly people, the hotel is a bit old but the room was larger than the room you get in more modern hotel. Awesome for people who enjoy Showa still accommodations.I would definitely stay rhere again
Very close to Yamagata station and excellent value for money. In the reception room floor there was a variety of shampoos and shower gels to borrow and other toiletries such as toothbrushes to take. We enjoyed the Japanese style breakfast and the massage chairs were a pleasant surprise.
Great location right beside the station, there's even a covered walkway straight to the building.
The view is fantastic, I think this is the tallest building in Yamagata and the hotel is located at the top. There's also a Family Mart and a cinema in the building
The dinner exceeded expectations - about 9 courses that provided a good variety of Japanese cuisine, from fresh seafood to local beef varieties. The property itself also provided so many options to relax, including reading areas and on-site onsens.
