We booked a 4-night stay here just before Christmas 2025. Just to be clear: this is not a hotel, but an AirBnB style of accommodation. The AC/heater was almost ready to retire, lots of dust on the weird green curtains, kinda dirty decorative pillows/blankets (the brown ones), dirty laundry machine, and it seems that someone actually lives here as there was a name on the front door. During our last night, we actually had a notice to vacate the premises as they were supposedly doing something illegal in regards to licensing. The only good thing about this place was the location as it was very central. In short, we wouldn't book here again.
See the weird brown pillows/blankets.

My fella and I felt like giants in the room. He’s six feet tall and I’m five nine. There was a loft in the room that we didn’t have access to according to notes saying that they’d know if the ladder was used and we’d be charged a bunch of money if it was found that we touched it. It was a full on key for the room door instead of a card that was fun at first but later became annoying because it’s pretty bulky. The part of town was a bit rundown. I was uncomfortable walking around alone at night. All that being said, it was cheap and close to two train stations which was great. However, in hindsight I think I would have been happier spending another $100+ staying somewhere I wasn’t constantly hitting my head on things and to have a bathroom that was big enough to pull my pants up in instead of having to open the door and step out into the room to do it. We got what we paid for and it was fine for the three nights we were there but I won’t be staying there the next time I’m in Tokyo.

Very simple clean small hotel with basic amenities. Located in a lively and fun area. Manager permitted us to leave our bags earlier in the morning and return to check in. Larger than a capsule hotel but no extra space to sit or hang out. Just a place to sleep. Perfectly functional.

The lobby is not as pictured in the listing so it made it a bit difficult to manage and there were a lot of moth flies in the room.

The lobby picture shown on the website is absolutely not true. You need to check in at one of the units of the hotel. Our first night was scary because a stranger came to our door, doorbells 4x and woke us up. We called the receptionist & responded quickly eventhough it was after 11pm. Our second night was ok. The hotel is a budget-friendly, close to train station, restaurants and store.

Good accommodations, room is a decent size and has a small fridge and washing machine. Check in desk is not at this location but about a 1 minute walk. Only complaint was the people in the room above us were stomping around very late at night/early in the morning and couldn’t sleep while this was going on. The hotel itself and staff are good though.
