KEIKYU EX INN KEIKYU KAWASAKI-STATION — Hotel in Kawasaki

I’ve stayed at several places in Tokyo/Yokohama and the Keikyu EX Inn Kawasaki Station is my new favorite place to stay. Flying in and out of Haneda, this hotel is located along the Keikyu line. Quick and easy access to Haneda. To get to the lobby, exit the Central Exit and right after Mister Donut on the left there is an elevator. Use the elevator to the 3rd floor and the lobby will be on the right after exiting the elevator (there’s a cafe immediately outside the elevator, just past that cafe is the front desk). Access to the elevator for the rooms requires a guest key which made me feel better being a solo female traveler. There’s shower amenities and a coffee/tea station just before the elevators. Elevators run pretty quick and during my stay was never a crowding issue. I caught it alone more times than with other guests. ||The single room is a standard business hotel sized room for Japan. I stored my suitcase, hand carry and one full size duffle along the wall. No storage space under the bed. The bed was more comfortable than most I’ve had in Japan. I noticed beds tend to be firmer in Japan. The mini fridge didn’t get super cold, I’d worry about keeping dairy in there over long periods of time. I could not find a temperature adjustment for the fridge. I was able to change the AC temperature. Sometimes Japan hotels do not allow you to change it from heating during the cold months. I like my room to be cold so I was glad I was able to adjust the temperature. ||Some mornings I could hear the trains running. I was already awake so I don’t know if the noise is enough to wake me up. ||I used Airporter to send my luggage to the airport from this hotel which made my last day in Tokyo very enjoyable. ||There are multiple eating places and shopping places nearby. The JR line is close (use the North Exit when leaving the JR Kawasaki Station). ||The Keikyu EX Inn Kawasaki Ekimae is my new go to hotel when...

The room did everything perfectly.

Location. First of all, it's right above the train station. You do need to go up the escalator to the 3rd floor, but that also means you can go right downstairs for 7-eleven, beard papa, and there's so much around. Let me repeat. It's right above the KK train station!

Amenities. The laundry machine is new and it washes and dry at once! So set it. You can make the laundry machine self clean before putting anything in too! Pay the 500-600 yen and you can watch the progress on your TV screen. You can also set a pin number so no one can access it! Iron, microwave, basic amenities at the 3rd floor.

Room. The only rant I have is the one small pillow. Usually business hotels have 2 pillows (one hard one, one soft one). Mirror had some strange stains, but it states that it's normal. Everything else was fine.

Quiet. How is this place so quiet? I've been terrorized by other business hotels with other tourist visitors just running around and having a party in their rooms. This place is built really well. I barely heard my neighbors. I felt alone in the hotel.

I think the value here is very good. I...
