I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The first great point is the proximity to the Fukushima Station. When I arrived, my check-in process was handled by the Manager, Matsuda-san. He was very friendly and warm.
The room I stayed in was decently-sized, giving me enough room to walk around with a large suitcase and other bags on the floor. A suitcase stand and a small stool are provided. The beige wallpaper provided a nice contrast to the dark carpet.
The controls for the room were absolutely fantastic - I could, for instance, adjust the brightness of the main light and the strength of the bathroom exhaust fan. The bathroom was slightly cramped, but I managed. An alarm clock is also provided for guests.
The default blanket in the room was far too hot; even with the heating turned off, I felt like I was being roasted while I was in bed with the blanket covering me (and this was in winter!). I didn't like the default pillow either, it was too hard. On my last night, I requested a thinner blanket and softer pillow. Thankfully, the hotel was able to provide them, and I slept much better after using the new blanket and pillow. Funnily enough, the mattress was also quite hard, but it didn't give me any problems.
The sound insulation was fantastic, and the cleaning staff were super quiet! I almost couldn't tell that they were outside my room doing their work! I also very likely had considerate Japanese guests on my floor, hence the peace.
Nearby the hotel is S-Pal, where you can buy all sorts of prepared meals (if you're lucky, you can find a few vegan options). There's also a large pharmacy, and there are many convenience stores around.
The main complaint I have is that the check-out time @ 10:00 is too early. I think 12:00 would be a better time.
I did not have breakfast at the hotel, nor did I use any of the facilities, so I have no comment on those.
I definitely recommend Hotel Route-Inn Grand Fukushima Ekimae to others, and I will definitely consider staying at Route-Inn hotels in other parts of Japan!
Side Notes:
(1) If you have large luggage and arrive at the Fukushima Station, you'll have to take the elevator at the west exit, and when you reach the ground floor you'll see another elevator about 20 metres in front of you (slightly to the left). This second elevator will take you to the underground passage, which you can use to get to the east side of the station, where Route-Inn Grand Fukushima is located. Do note that there is a rear entrance to the hotel (next to a public parking lot), and this will save you from walking to the front of the hotel with all your luggage.
(2) Vegan options in Fukushima are unfortunately extremely limited, but you can find some vegan tofu bars and a few other items at 7-Eleven...but be sure to use Google Lens to translate the ingredients!

I was very impressed with my stay. The service was excellent at every point, from the valet parking staff and the front desk to the restaurant staff who provided exceptional service.
The Superior room was spacious, had a stunning view, and I especially loved that there was a massage chair in the room. The common area facilities were complete, including the onsen and foot bath. The highlight was the free ice cream before 8 pm in front of the onsen, and the seating area with a view while enjoying ice cream was fantastic.
The only minor drawback was that the bathroom in the room had a slightly unpleasant smell. I hope the hotel will check into this and improve it. If this can be fixed, it would be a perfect stay, and I would definitely return again in the future.

Overall a nice hotel, very close to the JR train station, just a couple of minutes walk away. The room size was very generous a lot bigger than others we’ve stayed at in Japan. The bathroom was also very spacious with a full size bath and powerful shower. The hotel provides nightwear and toiletries as well as coffee and laundry. Breakfast has a good variety of choices although can we quite busy as peak times and items do run out. I would recommend as a good convenient choice if travelling by train.

For the first time in Nihonmatsu, refer to the word of tipcom
I stayed with my uncle and three people at Kounkakusan.
The parking lot is on the upper and lower sides of Kounkaku-san, so it seems that you can stop either one, check in a little before 3 o'clock, this time I stayed in one room, and this time I stayed in the second floor room, so I went to the large communal bath and footbath
and i was able to go smoothly
The next morning breakfast buffet is on the fourth floor
From the receptionist, everyone at the buffet venue
Very hard and kind
I would also like to visit during the chrysanthemum doll season.
My husband, my uncle, and I are very happy.
thank you very much.

Guest UserWe enjoyed the hot springs and the pool, but it was difficult to find our way to the outdoor pool and the South Wing, especially since it was our first time. It would have been nice if there were more amenities in the room.

The staff were super helpful and friendly, food was also really good. The buffet had quite a wide selection and all of the food i tried was great. The staff also provided new bath towels and yukatas each evening, their service was amazing.
Our one major issue with the place was the cleanliness of the bath area. The rest of the room was super clean and tidy but the onsen area really needed a good scrub. There was mildew covering the walls of the shower area(which honestly wasn’t such a big issue). The real nightmare was the tub area and the tub itself. The floors surrounding the tub were slippery and slimy and covered with algae. The rim and bottom(inside) of the tub were also slimy. It was suppose to be a relaxing soak in the tub but it ended up being very uncomfortable having to avoid the slime all the time :(
Other than that the place is great, it was just really disappointing as the “main highlight” of our room, which was the onsen, ended up being the worst part of the room.

The hotel is new and stylish, the rooms are clean and tidy, and everything at the breakfast buffet was absolutely delicious! They had squid carrots and cream boxes, which are unique to Fukushima, as well as an elaborate green curry, and everything was absolutely delicious.
There was a large public bath in the basement, but the powder room was separate and very comfortable. There was also a relaxation room with manga and massage chairs.
One thing to note is that there are only a few large rooms, so if you're staying with 3-4 people, the larger rooms tend to fill up quickly, and if they do, you'll have to split into two rooms.
There was no noise from the neighboring rooms or the hallway, but there was a bar right in front of the hotel, so we heard drunk people shouting in the middle of the night.
The room was simple and nice, but the toilet and bath were particularly compact.
I'd definitely stay here again!

Guest UserAbout a ten-minute walk from the train station. The hotel offers free umbrella rentals, which is very convenient. There's no musty smell, and both the facilities and rooms are new. The front desk service is excellent, and they answer calls almost 24 hours a day.

Guest UserThis hotel is truly perfect for a relaxing getaway. The atmosphere is peaceful and the food is delicious. However, it's best to arrive after 2 PM, and you should eat lunch beforehand if you're not driving yourself, as you won't find food available during that time. The rooms are very spacious and located right by the stream. The onsen bath is beautiful, and there's an open-air room with an indescribable ambiance. There's also a large, affordable convenience store on-site. Plus, free drinks are offered from check-in time until evening.
