This was our first trip to Japan as a large family of 8. We booked two rooms at the Centurion, four people per room. Our room variations were two queen beds plus two sofa beds. We ended up having 3 people on the queen beds as they were next to each other already. Then the fourth person slept on one of the sofa beds. Worked well! We each had a balcony with patio set. Each room had a mini fridge, kettle (no tea provided though), coffee machine with coffee supplies, microwave, safe, lots of bathroom supplies (razors, hairbands, cotton, ear buds, hair combs), two closets, a washer/dryer combo machine, air purifier, tv + air refresher/cooling machine. The toilet is an epic japanese bidet with all the buttons, heated seat even, which is my fave! The Centurion also has other room setups, like bunk beds and more suite-esque type rooms. When researching our trip, I came to realise quickly that many hotels in Tokyo only allow three people per room. Even their really large suites are for two people only. So it was a blessing to come across the Centurion Classic. It is in the business / entertainment district, so lots of eateries nearby (although not all are kid friendly). The Centurion is sandwiched between two Starbucks (the Biz Plaza is so nice) and an eight minute walk from McDonald's. The Akasaka-Mitsuke station is a seven minute walk which was our usual subway departure point. Bic Camera has toys! And right next door to the subway station. Family mart is more or less on the doorstep and was a daily visit for breakfast and adventure snacks. 7/11 was around the corner too. I also ordered from Dominos there, (for the uncultured children I traveled with :D) and it was fun because their offerings are slightly different, but I was told the pizza is SO GOOD. It was delivered really quickly. The Centurion staff are so very nice, and I messaged them regularly prior to our trip, and they would respond the next day. I really recommend the Centurion Classic, especially if you have more than three people in your party. It is a brilliant central location and ticks all the boxes when it comes to what one might need from...
Read moreEnding my last nights in Japan and this is the worst hotel we stayed in .
For those who will book the hotel please don’t be fool by the fancy photoshopped pictures they post on there , this is a old , dirty and smell hotel like no other in Japan .
The bathroom and hallway has weird smells especially the bathroom has urine smell it gets stronger the longer we stay .
This hotel is for sure not operate by Japanese people due to the cleanliness level and cheap China import tiles and cabinets they use , materials does not last because they use the cheapest material to maximize the profit. and for me this more like US motel level , I don’t know how it gets 3 star hotels, maybe I have the bad luck to be select to the worst room they offered .
Expect hot water run out during your stay , as other claims that hot water goes out half way of showering . We experienced NO hot water at all in the morning and we are rush to catch the flight , front desk lady was nice enough to let me use next door’s bathroom to take shower and explaining because it’s raining so hot water running out ( which is so funny lol )
Pros : Room is spacious compared to the other Tokyo mini hotel rooms for the price you pay . Great location to explore around , lots of restaurants and deli stores near by Great services and attitudes when it comes to fix the issues we have .
Overall we are not happy with our stay , for someone who has low hygiene level don’t mind the smell and old facilities this will...
Read moreI stayed at this hotel for 9 days and had a great experience overall. The front desk staff provides excellent customer service and gives you their full attention. For a fee, they can arrange to send your luggage to another hotel or the airport, which is very convenient. Fresh towels are provided each morning, and the property is kept very clean.
One thing to note: daily housekeeping isn’t included by default like it is in the U.S.—there’s an extra fee if you want your room cleaned every day. Personally, I preferred not having anyone come into the room anyway.
The location is fantastic—just a 5-minute walk to the train station and easy to get around in any direction. Food options are good with reasonable prices, though there are fancy places too if you’re looking to splurge. Some restaurants open early, which is great for early birds like me. If you’re craving American food, there’s a McDonald’s about a 7-minute walk away.
I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t get a Japanese-style room, but I stayed in a corner suite that was still big enough for 8 people—tight, but manageable for a family.
The hotel has washers, but dryers here don’t use heat like in the U.S., so drying clothes takes a long time. Even after 10 hours, things weren’t fully dry. I had to finish drying items in the room.
Despite that, I would definitely stay here again when I...
