Art Hotel Morioka

Stayed 7 nights. The room was very spacious, clean and the beds were comfortable. The hotel was in a great location not far from the station, restaurants, and convenient stores. We walked to the station everyday to catch a bus and it only took 6-7 minutes as long as you don't have to stop for the traffic lights. It snowed a couple of times but was fine. The reception staff were very helpful and kind. I would stay at this hotel if I were to come here again. The best Art hotel in Japan. Morioka is a great place to base yourself while on a snow ski holiday.

Room was larger than expected and was well equipped with power sockets (each bed has their own + a USB port as well). Stay was very comfortable and we managed to keep three hard shell suitcases of more than 24" size open without interfering with the walking space too much, though we did sacrifice some seating space. Also, the hotel is across the street from a mall, a 2-3 min walk from a few convenience stores, and a 2-5 min walk from a number of eateries.

The hotel is well positioned - a few minutes walk from the station. It was quite a wet day, and you do have to navigate area that does not offer a great deal of shelter from the rain. It was not too bad and we did gauge how many restaurants and bars there were in the general area around the hotel. The hotel itself is comfortable, clean and well presented, with fairly generous room size and friendly, helpful staff. We enjoyed a generous breakfast with a good variety of meals. The restaurant is on the top floor which offered a lovely view of the mountains - and would be quite spectacular in winter.

Hotel location was less than 10 min walk. The info counter staff at JR Morioka station was helpful in pointing out which exit/direction to use/take. Hotel staff made her best effort to communicate in simple English and was amiable. Room size, bed/pillow comfort, cleanliness & provision of amenities was more than adequate for our 1 night stay. Loved Morioka as a place to relax and explore with good selection of food. If I ever visit Japan again, would stay longer to explore other areas nearby Morioka as they have their own local brand of craft beer & wineries.

This was a great property within a 5 minute walk from the station. It was near to a street filled with restaurants, karaoke, and shops. The breakfast buffet was delicious and had different options for both western and Japanese food. I’d go again specifically for the breakfast buffet. The room was comfortable and the bed was also comfortable.
