The room was a double room and it was small like most in Tokyo. It was very clean and the staff were so helpful and friendly. We left our luggage after checkout and the staff didn't have any problems just keeping them for us. Though we did see lockers and most ppl were using them. The breakfast choice was sufficient. Sushi and rice in the morning was interesting and very Japanese. It was nice! The coffee was very strong which I liked, especially to wake up in the mornings! The area around the hotel was busy, just one thing I would comment, is if only the hotel has a free shuttle service to Shinjuku, as it would make travelling to the airport more straight forward. Overall, the stay was very good and pleasant!

I absolutely love the location of this hotel – right across from the Takadanobaba JR station, it’s the closest I’ve ever stayed to a subway entrance. The area is peaceful, with plenty of shopping and dining options nearby. The building is in excellent condition, and the staff provides outstanding service. They even offer a variety of self-help amenities, which is incredibly considerate. The complimentary drinks from 2 to 11 PM are a fantastic bonus. The only downside is the extremely uncomfortable bed and pillows. Despite staying for 7 nights, neither my husband nor I had a good night’s sleep. We both felt exhausted every day. I hope they can address this issue for a more comfortable stay in the future.

Chose the hotel because of the breakfast, it was good with multiple Japanese food options. The hotel itself is more like a hotel for business. It is close to subway, but not much things or big malls nearby. No early checkin. Need to go to the other side of the building for taxi. The price is reasonable, but for travel I would probably stay in other places next time.

The room we got for 2 was smaller in comparison to Western Rooms, but it served its purpose; we didnt miss the extra space. The kettle & mini fridge were a great addition. A hair dryer is provided. Overall I loved the firm bed and letting the room get chilly. Theres metro stop that conncets on the bottom of the hotel or the JR lines across the street. Convenient 7 Eleven and other small markets about 20-50ft away in case you crave late night snacks. Overall a really great loaction for the hotel. The breakfast is Japanese style, lots of rice or miso soup and a variety of raw fish as well as some griled fish. Sometimes fried/griled chicken, braised pork belly, cold meatballs, fresh squeezed juice, and yogurts.
