The hotel is convenient for traveling by metro, immediately after exiting to the right, there is an entrance to the subway. The staff is polite, just like everywhere else in Japan. Disadvantages: the choice of dishes for breakfast is small, breakfast cannot be excluded from the price. The dining room is very small and it is difficult to find a place for breakfast in the morning. I asked the staff to write down what the dishes are made of. But they refused to write what includes into dishes ( f.e. salad ingredients). They said that they need to coordinate the permission to describe the composition of the dishes with the management. But It wasn't wasn't agreed in all my 5 days stays. I don't eat meat, and there was meat in the vegetable salad. It is not visible from above, it was in the middle of the "vegetable" salad. About safety, it's a separate complaint. On the night of 29-30/11/2024, at about 2:10 a.m., the fire alarm went off. The voice notification was in Japanese only, for about 40(!) minutes. With the help of a Google translator, I realized that needed to run outside. The staff should was find reason of problem. Actually it takes for a maximum of 15 minutes to find reason of 'fire" ( 1. to see on display correct place 2.to see by own eyeson both floors). After the signal in Japanese ended in 40 minutes, people began to come back. When people was going to fall asleep again, after 3-4 minutes the alert was swithed troug ht speakers again with the same text but in English. It was turned off in about 5 or 10 minutes. Afterwards in 5 minutes, they started setting up the notification (Japanese text was coming through the speakers). But that's not all. In the morning, at 6:30, a general "good morning" alert went out thought speakers to the entire hotel. It was impossible to get enough sleep that night. The staff put a paper with apologies under everyone's door in the morning time. There was zero information about how many times and how long were swithed on speakers and other details and explanations of triggers. During this sleepless night, the visitors received only a formal letter. Obviously, there was no fire and they didn't write anything about the duration, numbers and reasons of all alarms. After this night - only a formal letter? It was possible to honestly admit that there was no fire and there are problems with the functioning of the fire safety warning system (EVACS).Conclusion: technically, the fire alarm system is not configured. The staff is not trained. In general, there...
Read moreI booked two rooms for my family of four on a ten-night vacation. I enjoyed my stay very much, this hotel provides great value.
Rooms are undeniably small but they are clean, comfortable, functional and nicely appointed. Beds were very comfortable. Overall decor was nice and reasonably up to date. Room size was not an issue for us since we went sightseeing early in the morning and came back at night to get ready for bed, if you want a hotel to linger at during the day I'd suggest looking elsewhere.
Breakfasts were very enjoyable with a good range of foods on offer, I especially appreciated the espresso machine. Yes, the breakfast room was crowded whenever I went, but I was always able to find a place to sit. However, you are able to bring your breakfast back to your room and eat there if you prefer.
The hotel provides good wifi, there are also many TV channels available but none of them were in English. There are washing machines available, 300 yen to wash (soap automatically included) and 100 yen to dry. Both cycles take an hour. Had I known it was going to be so convenient I would have packed less in my suitcase. There are vending machines in the hotel and a well-stocked 7-Eleven on the main floor with a good arrange of snacks, drinks and convenience foods.
The hotel's location is good, it is immediately adjacent to a JR station and about a block away from two metro stations. More stations are within a few blocks in various directions, so it is a well-connected site. The immediate surroundings are pretty quiet, maybe not the liveliest street but there are a lot of interesting neighbourhoods less than 10 minutes away.
Service was unfailingly polite, helpful and courteous. The staff at this hotel really excel. All things considered it was...
Read moreThis is a great little hotel in a good quiet location in Tokyo. The area around the hotel is a business area so quiet in the evenings and weekends which we liked. But not for you if you like throbbing nightlife on your doorstep. ||The big plus is the transport links.|For a start if you are coming or going from Narita or Hanida airports you can get the train directly to Higashi Nihombashi {On the private Toei Asakusa Line} on the Keisei Narita Sky Access Express, Cheap and direct. This station is connected to 2 other stations Bakuroyokoyama {On the Tokyo Subway} and Bakurocho {On the JR lines} which means you have easy access onto each of the 3 train / subway lines, Take a little time to learn a bit about Tokyo's transport system, it'll make your trip much easier, but you'll learn quick enough. I recoment the "Toyko Cheepo" site.||Rooms are small but all you need is there. You'll be out all day anyway. Staff are very pleaset, breakfast is very good and rooms are spotless. ||We walked up the short distance, left out of the hotel and accross the river, to the Asakusabashi area where we found a selection of little restaueents and bars under another JR overhead railway....
