KAIKA Tokyo by The Share Hotels — Hotel in Tokyo

It was "meh" just ok. Here's my impressions. It's very minimalist hip in decor and they have great photos of the room but I find many details visually pleasing but not useful.

note: It turns out that "Modest" room means that the windows are frosted. There's no explanation as to what a "Modest" room is.

Positive: Location is fine. That the area is quiet was a plus for me. Fridge in room Large windows Nice compact but functional bathtub Nice bath products Quiet Could not hear the other guests as the walls are thick Spacious Good laundry area on site Microwave in basement

Negative: No functional storage. This is where minimalism style gets in the way of functionality. Only a few hangers so I had to ask for more. No drawers No phone in room to reach the front desk. No staff at the front from around midnight to 7am While they tout that they want people to meet locals, it is decideldy not a place where locals hang out Window doesn't open, not even a crack to let fresh air in Interior is all gray. For some people this is going to be a feature but I found it gloomy and depressing, especially on darker days No functional bedside reading lamp. You get an attractive orb next to the bed but that's not enough to read. It's either that or the ceiling light that lights the whole room I asked for the front desk to call and make a reservation for a massage at a local shiatsu place. They did not follow up as I had asked. Since there's no way for them to call me in my room, they were not able to let me know. only two towl hooks in the bathroom and they were both really high on the wall. I'm short. There is a step up from the room to the bathroom, which is a hazard

It was worth trying out but I won't return.

Thank you for...

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The room was for 4 people and was a good size. We had the room that was 2 twin beds + 2 sofa beds, but honestly the sofa beds were the same as the twin beds (we couldn’t tell which were which) and were all very comfortable and generously wide. The only thing lacking from the room was a safe. There were also some small cupboards in the room but they were locked shut, except for the one with the mini fridge in it, which we found strange. ||The hotel was very clean and modern and whilst the receptionists didn’t speak much English, they tried to be helpful and stored our luggage for free both on arrival and on our checkout day. ||There was also a guest lounge in the basement that had a hot and cold water dispenser, a toaster oven and a microwave. There weren’t any trays to put into the toaster oven, just racks, and whilst there were cups, plates, spoons and forks there were no knives. The toaster oven cooked a small pizza we bought at the local supermarket, which was very helpful! ||We didn’t eat at the cafe near reception, but it seemed to be very expensive for what it was, but was popular with young trendy locals. ||The hotel was in a nice quiet are and was about about 10mins from the Asakusa station that had a direct train to Narita airport for about 1500 yen each, which was...

Three of us stayed at the moderate room for 4 nights, and we were very satisfied with this hotel. If you like to stay in a quiet and clean boutique hotel I'd say go for it! My family and myself found the walk (8-10mins) to Asakusa station quite enjoyable and considered it a plus, but I guess it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

The room was spacious and cleaned every other day, beds are comfortable. The room was dry but they have air purifier + humidifier so we kept them on throughout the stay, not a problem.

The breakfasts were delicious but I wish there are a couple of more options, or add varieties to the side dishes so guests won't have to eat the same thing over and over.

The lounge area, vending machine and laundry room on B1 are quite nice, we made good use them throughout the stay 🙂.

Staff are courteous and friendly. Speak good English. Overall I'm very happy with our time here and would...
