In the outside, this hotel looks like something from the 1970s, but once we got through the marble reception area at to the staff, who were super friendly and helpful, we went to our room in the ‘Richmond Villas’ wing on the ground floor.  The room was large, the ceilings high, and it was generally very quiet.  We stayed here for 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the room and location.

The location is fantastic, right in the tourist district, just a 4-5 minute walk from the western entrance of Senso-ji Temple. The area downstairs is lively with many shops, small restaurants, and bars, and Don Quijote is nearby.

The room isn't large, but it's compact and charming, with a great view of the Tokyo Skytree right outside the window! The design is modern and minimalist, showing thoughtful touches. For example, the wall-mounted coat hooks can be folded away, and there's a small stool in a corner that can be used for luggage or as a seating area for eating, maximizing the usable space. There's a desk by the window for writing, and charging cables are provided. The front desk staff are very warm and friendly.

The hotel is located above a Uniqlo store, and the front desk is upstairs. You take the elevator from behind Uniqlo to get there. Since the lower floors are all restaurants, waiting for the elevator can be a bit inconvenient at times.

Location: The hotel's location is quite convenient, just a 5-minute walk from the subway station. Kinshicho Station itself is pretty big and has a shopping area, which is great. Downstairs, there are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores.
Cleanliness: The bed sheets were clean, and there was no strange smell in the room.
Service: Normal. We were out shopping most of the time, so I didn't encounter any issues. The front desk had staff who spoke Chinese, which wasn't necessary for us, but it would be very helpful for those with language barriers.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, not far from the subway station. Senso-ji Temple is just a short walk downstairs, and Asakusa Station (for trains to Nikko) is also conveniently close. There are plenty of delicious little eateries right downstairs. The rooms are quite small and the facilities are a bit dated, but they are well-maintained. Check-out is at 11 AM. We were delayed by over half an hour due to jet lag and were fined 50 RMB per room. I found the hotel's policy on this to be a bit petty. The windows in the corridor offer a view overlooking Senso-ji Temple. What's rather odd is that I booked two rooms on Ctrip, one large and one small, but upon arrival, I was told they were identical. We just made do with it. Overall, it's only suitable for a brief transit stay in Tokyo.

Pros:
1. The hotel's decor is quite elegant and tasteful; it certainly doesn't feel old or run-down, which suited my aesthetic perfectly. As soon as you enter the lobby, you're greeted by strong, refreshing air conditioning and an elegant ambiance.
2. I felt very secure here; there weren't any questionable individuals loitering around.
3. Complimentary coffee is available in the mornings.
4. Subway access is excellent, with Exit 6 being the closest. The Akatsukado supermarket is well-stocked and convenient for groceries. Plus, there's a Mos Burger and McDonald's right across the street. While there are plenty of dining options nearby, you'll need to do your own research to find the best ones.

Cons:
1. The washing machines were both expensive and didn't clean clothes effectively.
2. The housekeeping staff made an incredible amount of noise while cleaning rooms. They were so heavy-handed and loud; it sounded like they were trying to demolish the place.
3. The front desk staff's English wasn't very good, which made communication quite challenging. They often relied on translation apps that produced very poor results. I hope they improve their English skills. There was one staff member who spoke Chinese, but he wasn't always on duty.
4. The air conditioning unit produced a low-frequency hum when set to a higher fan speed, so I had to keep it on a lower setting.
5. There was noticeable light leakage from the top of the curtains.

Overall, despite these minor issues, it's still a hotel I would consider staying at.

The location is fantastic: right by the Tokyo Skytree, next to a shopping mall, and directly at the subway station exit. This makes all dining, shopping, and entertainment options incredibly convenient. The cleanliness was excellent, and the breakfast was delicious, offering such a wide variety that you simply couldn't try everything. For the most stunning Skytree experience, I highly recommend visiting in the evening to admire the city lights twinkling under the beautiful afterglow of sunset.

The hotel is extremely near the metro. There is also a large supermarket nearby. Very convenient location, though a bit far away from places like Shinjuku and Shibuya. Room is new and clean. Especially appreciated that there is a weight scale in the reception floor. You can have an idea of your luggage weight before heading to airport. 😂

The front desk is located on the second floor, and key card access is required for all guest floors. Complimentary toiletries are available for self-collection on the second floor, where you'll also find vending machines and a microwave. Each room is equipped with a mini-fridge. Some rooms offer close-up views of Tokyo Tower. A Starbucks is conveniently situated right downstairs, and there are several convenience stores nearby. Daimon Station is within easy walking distance. The area is quite lively with office workers during the day, and the hotel offers excellent access to Haneda Airport.

Pretty convenient location going to the major stations on the East or West of Tokyo takes about 20mins. There is also don quixote directly below and convenience stores nearby. Room was quite spacious  compared to other hotel's single room. Overall would recommend.

1️⃣Like most Japanese hotels, the area is very small, which makes people feel very constrained
2️⃣The hotel is in a good location, close to the station, suitable for travel
3️⃣I didn't bring breakfast this time, so I solved it by myself at the nearby convenience stores
4️⃣The service is friendly and worth recommending

The hotel appears brand new, with excellent facilities, and its exterior also looks quite impressive. The staff were very courteous, and complimentary toiletries and coffee are available for unlimited refills at the front desk. I booked a triple room; the beds were on the smaller side, but the room offered a bit more space than what you'd typically find in Japanese hotels. The hotel's location is definitely a standout feature. Most of your shopping and dining needs can be met within a 5-minute walk. For instance, there's an Arc'teryx store with no queues and an Ichiran Ramen right outside, plus a large shopping mall directly across the street. Overall, it was excellent, and I would definitely book again.

The rooms were rather spacious for Japan. Especially the corner room with two double beds for 3 paxs. The price was worth every cent but early booking is required. About 5 minutes walk and and abundance of eateries available. Just in front of the hotel Yatais will set up for business on most of the evenings. 10 minutes walk to the subway with an underground shopping mall. The best hotel so far.

- Fully equipped! Bathtub / fast wifi / comfy bed / enough space to open huge luggage
- Has a common room including coin washing/dry Machine, microwave, water machine
- amenities can be collected by your chioce at lobby 24hrs 
- can deposit your luggages before check-in 2pm 
- check-out 11am but you can pay 1,000yen per each extra hour to stay longer upto 2pm

My husband kept praising my choice of this hotel. First, the location is excellent, right by Tanukikoji, making shopping incredibly convenient. Second, the lobby offers complimentary toiletries that are surprisingly comprehensive – everything from makeup remover and facial cleanser to toner, lotion, face masks, bath powders, teas, and coffee. It's incredibly thoughtful. The breakfast selection isn't huge, but the quality is superb. They have various fruit salads, a wide array of Japanese dishes, and the salmon is very fresh. In the afternoon, there are free alcoholic beverages and drinks. After a day of shopping, it's so relaxing for the family to enjoy some drinks, beer, and a chat.  What's more, after we'd already left the country, my husband realized he'd left his phone at the hotel. The hotel staff helped us locate it via email, and we're so grateful. This hotel made our entire trip feel incredibly warm and provided top-notch service!

Location good for travelling in/out as short walk from the station but a bit off from the more happening areas. Still 20min walk to a load of restaurants and shopping and a bit over half hour to Sapporo Beer museum is not bad. Room size pretty standard small, bath was a tad bigger than other local chains we stayed in. All well cleaned and well maintained, good ac, good fridge and quiet at night. Great staff, ok set menu breakfast but would prefer a small buffet. Also the breakfast room doubles as a restaurant in the evening and theres a bit of smoke in the walls, also builds a bit of a line at certain times but waiting time was not too bad during our stay. Would consider again if returning to Sapporo.
