I find myself here pretty often, mainy because of my Choice Rewards loyalty but I'm glad it's a nicely functional property to stay at! ||Rooms are modern and well-appointed and while the size of a typical Japanese business hotel (aka smaller than regular Comfort Inns you might find in most other locations), it felt more spacious than competing APA Hotel properties. Breakfast is available for all guests but you will have to obtain a breakfast ticket for a set time to help alleviate crowding. In the afternoon and evening there's a free coffee machine for guests to use which was a nice touch as I was able to refill while working remotely in the lobby/breakfast space. My most recent stay found me in the 2nd floor which was the same as coin laundry and vending machines so that was convenient in that regard as well. ||Location-wise, Iwamotocho Station (Toei's Shinjuku Line), Kanda Station (Yamanote/Keihin-Tohoku/Chuo Rapid JR Lines + Tokyo Metro's Ginza Line) and Kemmacho Station (Tokyo Metro's Hibiya Line) as well as Akihabara itself are within walking distance. ||That said, there is a single elevator for all guests so there will be a bit of bottlenecking especially during the mornings so do please plan...

Read moreI’ve stayed here twice for about a week each stay (November 2023 and December 2019). The rooms are small as most people have said. The bathroom is small as well. I am short and felt tall in the shower. I would assume you could pay much more for a larger room at another more western style hotel. But what you get for the price of this hotel can’t be beat. They offer free breakfast (juice, coffee, eggs, veggies, rice, etc). The place is really clean. The location is very walkable to Akihabara station and other stores and restaurants around Kanda. The staff is super nice and helpful. Many speak English as well.
The hotel’s heating or cooling option can only be one or the other for the entire hotel. In my recent stay in November, it was pretty muggy and hot. We tried to turn on the air conditioner, but the staff said they just switched the systems to heating for the winter. We opened the window in our room and it was okay enough to sleep.
