Oyado Cocochi — Hotel in Tokyo

This is my second stay in this hotel. I scored this hotel 4 stars a couple of years back but upon visiting again I am reducing the score to 1 star.

The hotel is a renovated apartment complex, the rooms are outdated and dusty despite the cleaning efforts, the building is surrounded by businesses and parking slots/garbage accumulation spots.

The bathroom is also outdated and some tiles could use a stronger cleaning method or a complete replacement.

There are roach traps set around the room and there is no air purifier despite the dust and pollution.

The worst was that the tatami in my room had water damage, it stank and was wet underneath. The dampness seemed to be running down from the wallpaper and further down under the tatami, across the center of the room. Within hours, I've responded with severe allergies, coughing fits, wheezing and clogged sinuses.

My symptoms drastically subsided the next day, after checking out and spending some time outdoor in fresh air. This lead me to believe that the hotel is suffering from a serious mold problem and won't spend money to replace their tatamis or renovate their rooms and bathrooms.

Also, their prices rose significantly over the years, and I've paid far less for way more over other hotels, only on this vacation.

Just the location isn't worth the money, nor the...

Nice room for the price. Tap water tasted and smelled bad, it seems they're having pipe / drain problems. A large 100¥ bottle from the convenience store solved that problem. The mattress and the blanket were a bit short, even for me and I'm only 5'3" (160cm). However, the mattress and the pillow were more comfortable than in the other, more expensive business hotel we stayed in Tokyo, and we had the first good night sleep in a week. The curtains had dust on them that must have taken a looooong time to accumulate, luckily neither of us has dust allergies. Everything seems old but overall well maintained. Loved the spacious bathroom, with a traditional squat shower and a deep bathtub, a separate toilet, and a nice floor sitting area with a low table. Together with the accent wall and wall decals, it created a relaxing home atmosphere.

Only one key was provided for two people.

This is a great deal for the money. Super convenient location, friendly and helpful staff, and an elevator. We had a spacious triple room with a tatami floor,a small table with 3 floor cushions, and a mini fridge. The beds were firm but surprisingly comfortable; the AC was quiet and effective; no traffic noise; the traditional Japanese bathroom was spacious with a huge tub; the hand basin area was a good size and had a small mirror; and there were even robes supplied. Just one pillow per bed, but it was comfortable. The place isn't new by any means, so if that or a soft bed are important to you, skip it, but this was perfect for me and two teens with easy access to the Yamanote line for trips to Shibuya and Harajuku. Thank you for a...
