Toyoko Inn Akiba Asakusabashi Station East Exit — Hotel in Tokyo

Let's make this clear. This is no luxury hotel. For single traveler room is compact yes, but having everything you need. Sound proofing specially towards corridor could be better, because you can easily hear late arrivals discuss... You'll find space for your luggage under the bed. ||||One nice thing... they provide enough electric socketsin the room. So it's easy to charge your phone, tablet, computer... assuming that you have right kind of charger. They can provide you a usb-charger from reception. About the reception, service is mostly friendly, but don't expect them to speak fluid English. Or sometimeseven understand the most simple question. ||||Bathroom even also small, is adequate for one person.||||Breakfast is adequate for the normal day, but if you stay more than few days, you'll notice that selection is very Japanese and it doesn't change much. But it gives your day a decent start. ||||I was happy to stay here during my trip, even twice. But I wouldn't book this hotel again, mostly because their check in time is very late 16.00 and even they might have rooms ready earlier, they don't let you in earlier. Yes, I asked... And check out time is 10.00... totally ok, if you have a early flight. Otherwise little bit too early. ||||Another thing which I was little bit worried about... when they are cleaning the rooms during the day, they leave doors open to every room in the floor. So anyone who has a room key to any room in that hotel, could walk in the rooms. So don't leave any valuables in the room or use the room safe! I'm not saying that you should be worried about hotel staff... but you know there are always other...

Stayed 4 nights in a single non-smoking room. ||||Check-in||We arrived early and left the luggage at the lobby. Returned at 3pm to check in. Usual Toyoko Inn room. No further comments required IMHO. Just, I love their single room! A bit tiresome to share with someone in such small space.. ||||Breakfast ||Not very good, even for TI.. No juice for example.. I've noticed, great location = Bad breakfast. Logical, I guess...||||Location||Excellent. This may turn out to be my favourite TI in Tokyo (I've stayed in 3 other branches). Many eateries within 5 minute radius. 5 minute walk from the subway and JR stations. Also, free shuttle to Akihabara. Just one way from hotel in the morning until 10:30. But in the evening the free shuttle is both ways! Excellent since usually this isn't the case. The drop-off area is right outside Central Exit of Akihabara. Pick-up is across, Infront of 7Eleven/McDonalds. ||||Also, Asakusabashi is very central and near to all areas in central Tokyo. Besides the Yamanote line which goes in a loop (will take a while to go from east to west, for example), you can take the JR Chuo Line which cuts across from...
