Hotel The Centre Utsunomiya

Really nice hotel, perfect for a single person. Lots of amenities provided, loved all the types of tea and coffee. Great restaurant on location. Family mart right downstairs.

Comfortable bed, quiet room, good wifi, nice japanese breakfast : the basics are well covered, and in a good spot.

The location was very good: about 25 minutes' walk from the train station straight down the main road (or 10 min on the bus) and very close to the main Orion shopping street and large mall, as well as cocktail bars and many restaurants, including those specializing in gyoza that the city is famous for. The big and surprisingly serene Futaarayama shinto shrine is between the hotel and the train station. The Japanese-style breakfast was a standout: beautiful, varied, delicious and filling. The bathtub was deep and very relaxing, and the bed was firm and comfortable with fresh, new linens.
