Yamagata Grand Hotel
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.02 out of 5 (1,595 reviews). Some guests say the triple room was a great help for a family trip home, since few hotels offer one, while others found their room easy to settle into thanks to the small table and chairs, even though it was compact. One party of three rated the breakfast buffet as excellent, and satisfaction among families is high overall. On the other hand, several reviews mention that the bathtub drains poorly, which is worth keeping in mind.

Family-friendly features
Children ages 0 to 3 can stay by co-sleeping. Depending on the plan, co-sleeping may not be permitted at all, or may be allowed for up to 2 children, and the conditions around whether meals and bedding are needed for infants also vary by plan, so please confirm when booking. For elementary school children, some plans set the child rate at 100% of the adult rate, with no discount. There is no indoor or outdoor pool and no childcare service. There is also no onsen, communal bath, private-hire bath or sauna.
Dining
Breakfast is served from 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. at La Seine, the first-floor restaurant, as a Japanese and Western buffet. The rice is 100% Tsuyahime grown in Yamagata Prefecture, and the spread includes many local Yamagata dishes such as imoni (taro and meat stew). The Western selection has a wide range of breads alongside familiar favorites, so guests can pick whichever style they prefer. Takeout cups are available at the breakfast venue, so you can take a coffee back to your room and enjoy it at your own pace. In summer (July 1 to August 30, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays only, and open on August 14 during Obon), the same restaurant also holds a lunch buffet, priced at 2,500 yen including tax for adults and a children's rate of 1,250 yen including tax for children who have not yet started elementary school.
