Room is quite spacious, enough space to walk around and lay out our luggage. Ample electric sockets, and good WiFi. Furniture a bit dated but kept clean. We got a room on its top floor with a great view. Wasn't that many dishes for it buffet breakfast, possibly due to the lack of guests, but still it's good enough. Hotel staff are extremely courteous, be it at the reception, or inside the restaurant. There's a Mitsukoshi mall next to the hotel, with a supermarket and drug store. It's about 10 min's leisurely walk from Yamagata Station, and in between you'll pass by some restaurants and convenience stores. Not really that close to the station, but the room rate is generally cheaper that some others around.

The location is superb, just a few minutes walking distance from Yamagata train/bus station. However still requires to use elevator and B1F to cross the street.
The staff is polite and kind, no problem of communicating in English

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.
This is my second time staying here, and it's probably my favorite accommodation in all of Japan. The staff is incredible, the atmosphere at the place is fantastic, thanks to the shared dinner offered almost every night. The value you get for breakfast+dinner+a twin bed in a super nice room is kinda ridiculous if I'm honest.
Even the fact that it's 15 minute walk from the station is outweighed in my opinion by the fact that you get to pass by the extremely nice castle park on the way.
I genuinely didn't want to leave 😂
The staff was friendly and the room was nice and clean. The bathroom was big and had a big bathtub. Nice that they gave out bath salts to use in the bathtub. The staff was friendly and helped in sending our luggage forward. The hotel is also close to the station and there is also a supermarket nearby in the Yamako building. Great that you can connect to Netflix on your own account on the TV.
One of the best hotels I've experienced in Japan. It's at the train station (literally), but the rooms were tranquil, with a nice view of the city and mountains. The reception hall is magnificent. The location couldn't be any better. My room was small but not tiny, and I felt that I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. For sure the best place for any Yamagata travellers!
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.
The staff was very helpful. They assisted in filling out the forms we needed to use the takyubin transport service to send luggage to a future accommodation.
We were given a space , just off the main lobby area where we were able to assemble our bicycles.
The breakfast buffet, both Japanese and Western, was varied and delicious.
It's well equipped with the things that you need. Of course not readily available in the room but at request you may even borrow a bicycle! The staff are also friendly and super helpful, people of Yamagata are angelic.
U can literally ski into the hotel :)
Friendly staff and good value for it's location
And this slope is the better slope was the ropeway and lifts are way faster than the main ropeway to the Juhyo station
Location 5 mins away from Yamagata station
Free breakfast
Usual budiness hotel amenities, there were even large-sized nightgowns available
Smooth check-in and check-out process with baggage drop-off
The breakfast. Actually was one of the best breakfast I ever had in a hotel. Japanese style breakfast, very very good.
Staff speaks English very well.
Really close to the train station
Great location, friendly staff, clean, and comfortable hotel! Parking next door for extra fee. Washing machine on site. 30 minutes from Zao Onsen Skiing Resort.
