Hotels with balcony in Tokyo

The accommodation is about a ten-minute walk from the station. It's clean and tidy, and having a washing machine is a huge plus for travelers. The bathroom even has a bathtub for a relaxing soak. The only downside was that on the day we stayed, the guests upstairs kept running around, making a lot of noise! It improved after the host intervened, which I really appreciate 🙏 Kinshicho Station area is very lively, and I'd love to visit again if I get the chance!

Our family trip to Tokyo was made much easier by this hotel—it was an excellent choice for us. They offer adjoining rooms and sofa beds, which gave us plenty of space and flexibility. The location is another big plus: set within a family-friendly park, it’s just a short walk to Tokyo Tower, great restaurants, and nearby subway stations. One thing to keep in mind: the elevators are split—floors 1–18 and 19–32 are served separately, and access to floors 18–32 requires a key card. So if you’re booking multiple room types, just double-check which floors they’re on to avoid any confusion.

We traveled with a group of five. The apartment was quite spacious for the number of people, very clean, with a balcony and a traditional-style room. It had everything necessary for a large group: two showers, toiletries for washing and bathing, a washing machine with detergent, shoe shine equipment, an iron, a small ironing board, and other household items. It's located a 5-minute walk from Asakusa Temple and about a 10-15-minute walk to the nearest subway station. There are several 7-11 stores, cafes, and bars nearby. The only downside is that you have to carry luggage up a rather small staircase to the 3rd floor, but overall, it's tolerable.

A Stay That Feels Like Coming Home – My Honest Review 1. Prime Location, Peaceful Setting Tucked just a short stroll from Shinagawa Station, this guesthouse is brilliantly located for exploring Tokyo. Despite being so close to a major transport hub, the neighborhood is remarkably quiet and residential. Finding the place was a breeze – clear instructions and a distinctive exterior made it instantly recognizable. 2. Thoughtful, Characterful Interior Design This is no cookie-cutter hostel. The owner has poured genuine creativity into every corner – vintage posters, handmade handpicked furniture, and an artsy blend of retro and modern elements. I booked a single bed this time, but unlike the typical 10-square-meter hotel boxes in Tokyo, my space felt genuinely roomy. I could stretch out, lay open my suitcase, and still have floor space to do morning stretches – a rare luxury for solo travelers. 3. Fully Equipped – With Surprising Extras The amenities go way beyond basics. A full kitchen with cookware, a washing machine. But the real delight? The owner’s personal toy collection scattered around – retro figures, board games, and quirky knickknacks to tinker with. And the crown jewel: a vintage record player with a curated vinyl selection, plus a compact DJ setup. I spent one evening spinning tracks with the host personal collections – an unforgettable Tokyo memory. 4. The Host – Warm, Witty, and Genuinely Sociable The owner is the heart of this place. They greet every guest like an old friend, share honest food recommendations for the local alleyways (I tried three of his tips – all phenomenal), and even bring their little dog down to the common area in some evenings. We’d gather around, sip drinks, chat about life, and laugh at their stories. It’s that rare blend of hospitality and authenticity that you can’t book – it just happens. Who Would Love This Place? Solo adventurers who crave connection but value their own space. Digital nomads needing room to work and relax. Music lovers, design nerds, and anyone tired of sterile hotel chains. If you’re traveling alone in Japan and actually want to make friends – over a shared meal, a vinyl crackle, or a dog’s gentle nudge – this is your spot. Highly, highly recommended.

This organic architecture, completed by Togo Murano at the age of 91, still exudes enduring vitality, especially when compared to Kenzo Tange's conceptual designs. Bathed in sunlight, it possesses a surreal, otherworldly quality. Design Studio SPIN collaborated with local artisans to redesign the lobby, executive lounge, and an executive suite. The actual spatial experience is incredibly refined; the executive lounge features four distinct sections, each with clear functions and varied, opulent decor – a masterclass from a top design studio, truly a step above. Compared to the 'pigeonhole' rooms in Minato Ward, the guest rooms here feel more like Western hotels, and all come with balconies. If you can overlook the lack of a separate shower, the weekday value for money is impeccable. However, Seibu Group's service is far from ideal, especially at the front desk. The 3 PM check-in policy clogs up the reception during peak hours, and the self-service kiosks are useless. When checking out, I wanted to keep the room key card as a souvenir, but the staff looked annoyed and confused. Good or bad, with the Shinagawa redevelopment, this heritage-level hotel is slated for closure and demolition this year. After decades of existence, this 'architecture of the future' is reaching its end.

The location is good; it's convenient to get around from the apartment both on foot and by subway. The room itself was a decent size, and with a bit of maneuvering, we could open our suitcase. It was comfortable for a 190 cm tall person. Now, for the downsides: there were no nightstands (they seemed to have been there once, judging by marks on the walls – not a nightmare without them, but still incredibly inconvenient); a broken chair missing a nut (every time you sat down, if you leaned too much, you could fall); a smell of dust and old socks (it seems the air conditioner is very dusty and hasn't been cleaned in a long time, and there's poor natural ventilation in the room); very superficial cleaning (dirty stains on the kitchen stove and cabinet doors, and other people's hair in the bathroom); and worn-out bedding (dusty and pilled). All these details significantly hampered a comfortable stay – we had to buy an aromatherapy candle and a lint roller.

The sign at the entrance is tiny and easy to miss. There's no elevator, and the stairs are narrow. The front desk is on the second floor, and the female dorms are on the fourth, making it really difficult to carry luggage up. The hygiene was terrible. For the few days I stayed, it barely seemed to be cleaned. The floors, mirrors, and sink were all dirty. The large trash can in the room wasn't emptied daily. Both the toilet and shower stalls were extremely cramped. There was nowhere to put clothes, so I had to put them on the floor by the door, which incidentally opened inward, meaning my legs hit the toilet. Sitting on the toilet, my knees were practically touching the door. The bed was incredibly creaky; even a slight turn resulted in a loud squeak. The mattress protector kept slipping off. The sliding door for the bed wasn't functional, so only the curtain could be used. There were no curtains on the window, so people outside could see in. Someone was changing clothes, unaware, and was clearly visible from the residential buildings across the street. Each person gets a locker for valuables. The door couldn't be locked, meaning anyone could walk straight up the stairs from the street to the room. The front desk was sometimes unattended, which made me feel unsafe. It's run by Chinese people, and they also have guesthouses. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from Shibuya Station, and there's another station nearby. There are plenty of food options and supermarkets in the area.

Very conveniently located with the metro station exit right downstairs. Bus stops with bus to Asakusa and Ueno, etc. are also downstairs or within walking distance. It is also a short and pleasant walk to Tokyo Sky Tree. Also very responsive to fix wifi connection issues. Overall we had a good and enjoyable stay. Thanks!

The room is very good and clean
