National Stadium

As the name suggests, they turn an apartment into a hotel. It's a very high-end apartment at that. So you have all the privacy and independency to yourself. It's very new as well when we stay during 2024 December.

This relatively large apartment style hotel was perfect for our short stay in Tokyo. It is close to several metro stations and a large department store, and there were many restaurants nearby. The in room laundry was nice to have, and the friendly people at the desk were happy to give me extra soap for the machine. After staying in two tiny tiny hotel rooms in Narita and Osaka, staying in this large space was a real treat!

The property was well maintained and the room was very sizeable, especially for Japan standards. We were a group of 4 and the Japanese room accommodated us perfectly. The kitchenette is fully functional so you can actually cook meals there which made it easy for us especially after a long day and it was just easier to eat in. To make it more convenient, there are two supermarkets right across from it and a Lawson, so you would be able to get all the groceries you need. What came in really handy was the washer dryer included in the room so we could travel relatively light and just do laundry daily. Location wise was ideal as well. It's in a nice local area which means it's a lot quieter than the main tourist attractions but it's just a 10 minute walk to Akihabara and literally a 1 min walk to asakusabashi JR station. The front desk is minimalist at best but they were always polite and professional. I would highly recommend this property for anyone that requires more space and wants the convenience of meal prep and laundry.
