Art Hotel Morioka
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.35 out of 5 (3,809 reviews). Guests report staying comfortably and affordably even with two children, sleeping well with three separate beds, and children enjoying the breakfast buffet. On the other hand, some report hearing footsteps from the floor above and note that the walls are somewhat thin, so it may not suit families whose children are very boisterous.
