While the location is unbeatable, this hotel has some notable drawbacks. Rooms are exceptionally small even by Tokyo standards, and the centrally controlled air conditioning causes temperature problems for many guests. The breakfast setup is also inconvenient, requiring a walk to an external café.
🚩 Red Flags
“I stayed at this hotel for 6 nights, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. The room size was unbelievably small, even by Tokyo standards, especially considering the high price. It felt extremely cramped and uncomfortable for a multi-day stay.”
“The room was super tiny, no space even for the luggage.”
“Tightest room I've stayed in Japan, impossible for 2 people to handle luggage at the same time.”
“Bed had sticky dirt attached. From the previous guest? I don't want to imagine.”
“Basic cleaning was poor. Bathroom door had remaining dirt.”
“Not clean enough, bed was sloped and very uncomfortable overall, small room, area not pleasant”
“What made the experience worse was that the air conditioning did not work properly for the first 4 days. This significantly affected comfort, and it took far too long to resolve.”
“Aircon did not work, room was super stuffy. Woke up several times overnight due to the heat in the rooms. Ended up checking out after one night and moved to a different hotel.”
“No working aircon in winter (very warm rooms and we had to ask reception to turn off heating). Windows help at night but was an awful experience arriving jetlagged and trying to sleep in a room 25C+”
“One elevator. Slows down exiting and entering.”
“Elevator movement is inconsistent and inefficient, elevator waiting was terrible every day”
“There is only one elevator, so it takes a long time to wait.”
“Add-on about breakfast: they 'include' breakfast by giving you a coupon for two nearby Doutor cafés where you can choose only a hotdog and a soup. Who on earth eats that for breakfast? Completely ridiculous.”
“Breakfast is not inside hotel, it is in another building which is 10 minutes walk”
“The hotel doesn't have a breakfast room so you book this option without knowing. The hotel only announces during check-in that they don't have breakfast and you have to walk 5-10min to a café with a voucher.”
