"This was a very convenient location just steps from the subway station. The sense of arrival is quite tired with a lobby full of suitcases and minimal appeal. Arriving in the lobby gave me pause on the hotel. The location more than made up for lobby and the room provided good basic small but comfortable accommodation. I would stay here again, but would be aware of what to expect. Thank you"

"The hotel is fantastic, it's in great condition considering it's age. The staff are more attentive than at most of the 5 star hotels I've stayed at and the food options on site are exceptional. Especially the small bar. The rooms are a little dated but it's more like being in a movie set during the showa period than run down everything has been kept up well. While it's in essentially the inner core of Tokyo its in a quiet location,you don't have endless bar and restaurant choices in the...

"We booked the two twin size beds because it allowed us to have a slightly larger room for two people. We were able to store all our luggages under the bed. There was a large bench area, mini fridge, kettle. I wish there was a closet area instead there were a few hangers provided. Train station, familymart and coffee shops were just a few steps away. My only complaint is that the room was quite dusty - curtains, top of the headboard and around the windows. "
