Detailed Reviews
Very convenient location right by Yamagata train station. The room is clean, standard and has all the amenities. It has a convenient store right outside the lobby.
We stayed in the older building side of the hotel and used the washing machine and dryer facility at the other wing (open 24 hours although almost always occupied).

We booked a Japanese suite room at the old wing. The room is big and seems renovated. The only issue is that there isnt any hook in the bathroom.
Bf is so so. They do not serve buffet, you have a choice of western or japanese set and portion is quite small. There is a small mall (S-Pal) linked to the hotel where there are some food options but they do close very early. Otherwise plenty of food choices are available outsides the hotel as well.

We stayed five nights in a large room. Although the room was large, there were hardly any cupboards or shelves to store your clothes. Not a major problem, but there was room for two or three cupboards. The room was clean, beds comfortable, wlan fast and free. Parking at a fee in a garage tower.
Breakfast was a set meal either Japanese or Western. We tried both and both were of a high quality.
Located at Yamagata JR station, so shops, restaurants, sights and transport all within walking distance.
One of my favourite hotels during this trip.

Great location with easy parking. The check-in was smooth and friendly. Our room faced west (tracks) and had a view of the sunset. Being at the station gives good access to shops and anything else you might need.

Stayed two nights for the trip to Yonezawa and Ginzan Onsen. Ideal stop over that
fits a three days visit to the Yamagata region. The hotel is located in the building of the train station and you don't need to go out to the street to look for it. Rate is little high but rooms are very spacious ,with two queen size beds for a double occupancy. Very clean, quiet and comfortable, with big windows and lovely views of the mountains. A Japanese style hotel with western flavour, there is some kind of old fashion charm about this place. My booking did not include breakfast. It didn't bother me as there are convenient stores downstairs and we just picked
up rice cakes and hot coffee and had breakfast on train to Yonezawa. It saved a lot of time. After a half day trip to Yonezawa we took the train back to Yamagata Station and still have time to enjoy a relaxed dinner at the restaurant in the shopping area of the station. The Kajo Park with the remains of "Kasumigajo", stone walls of the old castle, and the Municipal Museum of Yamagata City are
close to the hotel, with walking distance. To conclude, I enjoyed my stay here for the trip.

Yamagata ain't a mainstream tourist spot, and its main attractions are quite scattered. Most famous ones are at least a train ride away from the city, thus making Yamagata station an excellent gateway to explore them. And, there is no other hotel more convenient than Hotel Metropolitan Yamagata, which situates in the same building as the train station, as well as S-Pal shopping center. As such, there are relatively no weather concern of any rain or snow. There are a good range of eateries inside and outside of the hotel too, as well as on the east exit of the train station across the road.
I was allowed to check in around 2.30pm, and was allocated a twin room overlooking west side of the station. It's spacious, with writing desk and a couch that is as comfortable as my bed, and there was even a 4G-enabled smartphone for free usage, supposingly able to go online, as well as making free domestic call and some free international call (for certain countries only), the smartphone can be taken out but somehow, my handset was a defective one, so I didn't bother anyway, after all, I have my own data roaming connection. The room has free WiFi, but connecting speed was pathetic, I have easily 3 to 4 peripherals of Android and Apple interfaces, all of them encountered mediocre connection, I suspect my room is probably far from their common wireless router. For checking emails it should be good enough, but expect intermittent disruption while watching Youtube.
Like most other JR East hotels, this one does not offer any onsen in-house, but they provide free aromatic bath lotion packs for use in their big bath tub, as well as 2 bottles of complimentary mineral water. All other necessary amenities are well catered for. My room was equipped with a 43" LCD TV, humidifier, electronic safe, fridge, kettle etc, and plenty of power points.
My enclosed breakfast was at Mogami-tei (2F), surprisingly it wasn't a buffet breakfast like most other Metropolitan hotels. Patrons have a choice of either Japanese or Western style breakfast, which I ordered the former. Personally, I actually do not favour buffet breakfast, this was really how I like it! Mogami-tei's setting demonstrated impeccable attention, emphasising usage of premium local ingredients, and presented them in separate saucers.
In general, my stay in this hotel was a very pleasant and comfortable one, and overall the room is very well maintained. Having stayed in some other Metropolitan hotels before, I find this one offering better attention on details.

Room was excellent with good view and walking distance inside the station just like its other chain hotels elsewhere. Facilities are pretty new.
The only thing that at breakfast when I was about to finish and asked for another coffee, the waitress told me that I could get one at checkout for take away. 2000 yen for a fairly average western breakfast and couldn’t be served a second cup of coffee? I wouldn’t appreciate such attitude as Japanese service.

Thank you very much for staying at Hotel Metropolitan Yamagata this time. Thank you again for your continued contribution during the busy schedule. I am pleased to compliment the word of praise. However, we apologize for the correspondence at breakfast. It may be that you misrepresented where you wanted to guide us that you could also eat in the room. Of course, you can also eat it in a restaurant. We will reconfirm the situation on the day and work to prevent recurrence. Thank you for your precious opinion. We are waiting for all of our staff to come again.

you are in Yamagata for a short trip this place is fantastic. Right outside JR station and opposite a tourist information centre and one great shopping mall, and there is a really good restaurant too if you love tonkatsu. Everything is two mins away.
The hotel itself is well maintained. Very clean and neat and quiet. My room had a magnificent view of the city and mountain range.
Breakfast is good too.

Stayed here for one night as transit from Zao Onsen ski place to Ginzan Onsen. Picked Hotel Metropolitan because of its location as it is right on JR station and the bus to Zao Onsen and rental car shops are steps away only.
Turned out not just the location, but the room and service is far from my expectation. Room is huge, modern and clean. Staff is well trained and polite. Price is reasonable. Many good restaurants nearby.
Highly recommend hotel.

The hotel is sort of “joint” to the Yamagata station. Pretty convenient.
