Kamikochi Visitor Center

The hotel is OK for the price range, if you're only staying for a couple days in Tokyo. Pros: - It is located blocks away from Yanaka Ginza street, great traditional spot to go get some souvenirs, textiles and street food. - 2 subway stations nearby at a walkable distance (5-10 min). - The reservation includes daily simple breakfast (pretty much toasts, coffee and tea). - While hotel has shared bathrooms, there are plenty of showers on each floor, so you don't have to worry about waiting. Cons: - The wifi service is poor and unstable, they have lots of connections, but none of them actually works, except the one on the café. - When nobody is at the front desk, it can take a while for someone from the staff to come by. - While staying, I needed to make an international phone call to contact my bank, and after explaining the situation to the guy at the front desk, he was rude and said he wouldn't let me use their phone as it would be too expensive, even though I told him I'd pay for the charges.

Good staff services. Very conveniently located. Downside: Some guests, Chinese, were very loud till late at night.

Close to transportation. Room smelled like cigarettes and there were cigarette burns in the bedsheets
