Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Liked:
- Close to station. Many restaurants and conbinis. Area feels like a cute little town of its own. There are a lot of bike riders in the area though so just be careful when walking.
Yes, the location isn't super central Tokyo, so it feels like it's an hour from everything (besides Akihabara if that's your target), but the trains aren't too full when they stop here so you can usually get a good seat for the first leg before you transfer.
- Huge room. This is why I chose the room with sofa. Just to have more space. And it was great. I could really spread my things out compared to other hotels.
- Friendly, helpful staff. I had nice conversations with them (in Japanese)
- There is a nice vending machine in the lobby with a bean soup option for a quick, cheap breakfast.
- They had Coppelion in the manga shelf. I should rate 5 stars for that alone.
- Two microwaves!!
Didn't like:
- The main entrance has only stairs. Yes, there is a back entrance for people who don't want to drag their suitcase up the stairs, but from the outside it says "staff only" so you don't actually think to try to use it.
- There were some dusty spots in the room and a leftover item from the last guest. But least there was nothing huge except a few tiny black spots which maybe were mold? But there was no smell and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting.
- Toilet paper was too thin
- Even with a meal ticket the breakfast involved writing my name and waiting 3-5min to be seated
- Pillows not the comfiest
