Convenient location, near to both metro and JR line. The room is small, but clean. Can get a little cold due to no heater. I'm out most of the time for sightseeing, only need the room for shower and sleep, so... overall, no complaint with the price I'm paying. The receptions are nice and polite.

The hotel is situated in a great location near to Asakusabashi and Akihabara stations and easy to travel around Tokyo by subway. The hotel staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. I would stay there again and also recommend to others.

This is an older hotel with very small rooms. The beds are extremely hard and many rooms are hot and are smoking rooms. If you want a cheap place to stay, this is ok, but don't expect a great stay.

Loved the area and staff. It's obviously an older hotel, which didn't bother us. My only complaint is it wasn't very clean. Found pubic hair in multiple locations throughout the room.

Good location

This hotel isn't bad for budget accommodation. The rooms are clean but extremely tiny. The interior is dated and daggy looking and there was some clutter in the hallways. The bathroom is a nightmare as it's so cramped, you can barely stand up in there let alone get dressed. Awful pillows. The ones we had were like big bags of rice in a pillow case. Good location, lots of food, vending machines and convenience stores around and the train station is a 2 min walk away. I'd recommend it if you just want somewhere Cheap to sleep at night. If you're looking for something fancy best to look elsewhere

Small but safe and quiet.

If you like to sit in your hotel and enjoy the ambiance, this is not the hotel for you. But if you are on a budget and plan to be out seeing Tokyo most of the time, then it is ok. The room is very, very small, the beds are hard and close to the ground, and the walls were kind of dirty. But, the a/c worked well, it has a private bath (again, small) where everything worked, and they left fresh kimono and slippers for you. Best of all, it is very close to metro station Asakusabashi. We took the train from the airport and easily dragged our bags to the hotel. Staff was friendly and spoke enough English to get by, and they offered us umbrellas to take out when it was raining.

Cozy hotel near to JR Lines and Akihabara

1. Close to the Sobu (Chuo-Sobu) Line Asakusabashi Station. 2. One train station from Akihabara, and a 10min train ride (with transfer) to Ameyokocho. 3. Near enough to Sensoji, a few stops away on the Asakusa Subway Line. 4. Nothing has changed much from my previous stays with them. Still a pleasant stay with them, without much hassle. Has a number of eateries and convenience stores nearby.
