Karin Doo Hotel — Hotel in Tomisato

Over all a very lovely little hotel. Would’ve given 4.5 if I could’ve but 4 will have to do.

Positives - 99.9% of things listed are accurate and stocked. They provide slippers but you cannot keep them, you must remove your shoes and put the slippers they provide. They provide toiletries in the bathroom and give toothbrushes

There are traditional and western rooms :)

Exceptionally clean! Cleaned every morning at 11

Staff speak English, minimal but enough to get by. Check in stays open if you let it be known your arrival time etc.

Flat screen TV provided, however it is small and aires only Japanese Chanel’s

There are sockets by the bed and over near the kettle area

Bathroom, bidet (heated toilet seat) shower, body soap and shampoo, towels, face towels and floor mat. There are also little tooth brushing cups for rinse water provided in the room along with what i listed above. You Will need to ask for extra items like shaver tooth brush etc. if they aren’t offered to you.

The water bottles in the room are free. We checked.

There are maps in the room in Japanese and English.

The Narita train station is a close (14 minute walk) away and one stop over from Narita airport terminals (just get on at platform 3 or check at the ticket counter. Most staff at the stations speak a little English)

There is a 7/11 right around the corner and a whole street of food shops. A laundromat etc. which is very convenient.

Negatives - aren’t really super negatives more just a heads up if you have preferences.

The lower levels don’t really have a view. We were looking at fences. So just be wary of that when you book a room.

If you’re tall you might have a tight squeeze in the shower, if you’re short no worries at all.

The mattress we had was very firm. Not my normal sleeping preference might be for some but not my preference we made do though. The blankets were fluffy and soft so that made up for it 🥰

Rooms are not sound proof, but not to worry guests are USUALLY pretty quiet and surrounding areas are SUPER quiet bar the occasional heavy footed guests in other rooms :)

Over all 4.5 out of 5 for us! Very lovely stay :) Thank You for...

I decided to sleep in Narita to catch an early train to the airport the day after. The connection is not very frequent but if you organize yourself it’s a good occasion to discover an unexpectedly nice little town. The hotel is not far from the station (1.3 km) but you’d better take a taxi (730 yen, make sure to have the address written or the taxi won’t find it) because the road to get there is busy and without a proper sidewalk, especially unpleasant by night. The hotel is quite basic, you probably can find better options in Narita. Small room and bathroom, staircase without elevator, no breakfast. Paying 100 yen you can make yourself a coffee in the lobby, the kettle in the room doesn’t come with coffee. No shower cap and, very uncomfortably, no bath towel, you have to do with a tiny hand towel unless you have a towel of your own. The owner is kind despite very poor English (the rule in Japan) and he provides a free lift to the train station in the morning if you tell him the night before.||Unsuitable for people with motility problems. If you book online you can pay with...

Positive-Very close to Narita International Airport terminals; Just one station stop away. You get a free ride to Narita Rail station from the hotel buy owner. (JR trains available) Room kept very clean. Wash room is clean, compact but very modern with good facilities.Walking distance to good shopping malls, restaurants. Negative- My first impression was "Insecure". (But actually very secure). Entrance with a push button of a closed auto door. At entry, an empty space with closed inner doors, no one seemed to be in! Then the owner appeared from a room and took our baggage, offered slippers implying us to remove shoes. We thought we are at the wrong place as the place gave and impression we are at a religious space. Less talking, absolute silence, no chairs or traditional Japanese welcome greetings, no other staff, you have to sit on floor.....Room is small compared to other hotels, especially if you carry big luggage.

Overall, I recommend this place is convenient in many ways and "Worth for...
