For backpackers or travelers traveling light, it probably would suit. For travelers with luggage, be prepared to carry luggages up and down a narrow staircase.

Satisfied with the overall condition of the property. However, the building doesn’t have lift, so expect to carry the heavy luggage to walk up and down via just stairs. Also very close to the train track, can hear the noise when train pasts, having said that the property only about 2-3 mins walk to the train station.

I liked the place we stayed. Only downside was there was no elevator and everything was cramped. But had above and beyond facilities for the tiny space including a dryer/washer, microwave, fridge, etc.

This hotel is very difficult to find via Google Maps. I knew this after reading reviews, and still had some challenges finding it. We stood around with all our suitcases until a local who worked in the area noticed us and asked if we were looking for the U-Hotel. Without him, who knows how long before we found it. Some more clear directions/images to help with finding the hotel would be very helpful. We arrived after sunset, so this was more challenging in the dark. To call this a hotel is also a little misleading. There is no front desk, staff or housekeeping. Check in and check out is through a pretty slow tablet. Our room was on the third floor. It is worth noting that there is no elevator in this building. We had five suitcases, this was a bit of a challenge for us. The unit is quite small and typical for Tokyo, but certainly manageable. While no housekeeping, the unit was clean and we were provided with 9 larger towels and 9 face towels which was more than sufficient for our short stay. There is a laundry machine in the room which is nice, although there is no detergent. The location is superb because it is right next to Takadanobaba station, however because of its proximity, you will hear and even feel the rumble of the trains throughout the night.

It's a nice hotel with about a 5-7 minute walk from Takadanobaba Station. 7/11 about 1 minute away. Not a whole lot of dining options close, but still walkable. Check-in was a tad tricky at first, but everything was simple once it was done. Bear in mind, there are 3 good twin beds, but the room is tiny. Like, no place to put your suitcases. We crammed ours between the beds and did a lot of sideways walking in the room. If you can get a good price (hard to do around Shinjuku), then go for it.

Check-in was confusing, support number didn’t work. Garbage pile beside the front door that smelt disgusting and the air conditioning smelt like urine. Blood smears in bathroom. Other then that the stay was fine, nice shower and clean beds. Enjoyed the abundance of towels as well as the local grocery and convience stores. Close by to train station aswell.

Great hotel, the room was very clean and the location was perfect, right next to the yamanote line! It was small for 3 people, if you brought in mid sized luggage you’d probably have to open it on the bed but we can’t complain, everything else was amazing. Thank you!

This brand new hotel is rather compact but super clean, efficient design, in the ideal location, has awesome amenities and comfortable beds. Having a full kitchen and washing machine in the room is very convenient. I would definately come back.
