WAGOKORO — Hotel in Tokyo

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The hotel comes with traditional tatami mats and futon as beds which were very comfortable to sleep on. The rooms were very clean and the amenities were restocked everyday. The hotel provides hot water, coffee, a microwave and oven in the common room so there is no worry about getting access to those. The rooms are really well tidied everyday and I always came back to a clean and tidy room to rest.

Location wise its is very convenient as its a short walk to Nippori station, which has access to the Yamanote Line as well as the Keisei Skyliner which has trains from/to Narita Airport. There is a 24Hr coin laundry literally a stone throw away from the hotel too so it is very convenient to get laundry done without much hassle or walking. The hotel is located in a very quiet and peaceful neighbourhood so every night i can get a peaceful rest without the hustle and bustle of the main city.

However for me the main highlight was the service. The staff were the nicest hosts ever and were always taking initiative to provide assistance. They gave directions to nearby eateries and other services, provided medicine when my friend was sick and also let me know about things that could have been done quicker, cheaper and more conveniently (such as taking the Keisei Skyliner instead of Narita Express to the airport). They were always seeing if we needed help and were always happy to provide said help if needed, even providing us a place to store our luggage past checkout since our flight back is much later. Overall my stay here has have been the most pleasant experience and I highly recommend this...

While they style themselves as “hostel“ and there are indeed dormitory rooms available, Wagokoro is actually a fully featured hotel. Everything you expect from a hotel is there and much more – 24 hour reception, ensuite bathroom and even common kitchen/dining room. ||||The hotel is nice a mix of traditional Japanese ryokan and modern hotel. We especially liked that you have to remove footwear and use provided slippers when you enter the lobby.||||The staff is very friendly and helpful. Though official check-in time is 3p.m. our room was ready as early as 12:30 p.m. – very welcoming after long flight and jetlag. Even if some of the hotel staff don’t speak English well we encountered absolutely no language barrier. Japanese hospitality is what you really get here.||||Our room for 3 (western style) was a bit small but that’s expected from Japanese hotels. Bathroom was also very small but it even contained a bathtub! Spotlessly clean. Wi-Fi connection was very fast and stable. Some may find beds and pillows hard but again, that’s Japanese way.||||Wagokoro is situated in a quiet neighborhood, there are all usual 24/7 conbini just around the corner and a lot of restaurants near train station. Nippori station is just 5 minutes walk (or 410Y taxi ride if it’s raining or you need to haul heavy luggage). The station is directly connected to Narita airport – Skyliner is faster and sometimes cheaper than NEX train. Yanaka cemetery and Arakawa tram are in short walking distance.||||I must say that Wagokoro provided best value for money from all hotels we used during our two weeks...

The hotel was clean, the stuff îs extremely nice and helpful. the hotel is about a 10-minute walk from the station in a quiet neighbourhood, with fea hood restaurant around.

i found the hotel beautiful on booking, but, on site, it was more of a japanese decorating hotel than a rea traditional l japanese place, and It was lacking some personality (to our taste) . futon was comfortable and was made for us every evening. shower/ toilet room was very small, and the place of the toilet paper was very inconvenient. we had many little commodities. we had free tea and coffee, but not real coffee, which is pity, consider the price. I had a problem with the fact that prices had changed considerably between the website and booking, while i can understand that price may very a little, mainly on WE, i found it too much of a difference when it is doubled, without writing it clearly on the web site (that during certain times you can't bookfrom the website and you have to book through other platforms in double the price you see on the website).

overall, it was a nice experience, which was good mainly thanks...
