The location is unbeatable just steps away from the JR Otsuka on Yamanote Line (1 stop away from Ikebukuro). The check-in was fast the room was in comparable size to other budget hotel but the mattress was from Airweave which is a luxury Japanese brand make the sleep very comfortable. There are also different kinds of pillows and amenities available for free at the lobby including toothbrush and razor. Coin laundry and ice machine were also available. Free luggage storage and scale for weighting the luggage were also available at the lobby which can come in handy before you leave for the airport.

The hotel lobby is located on the second floor with a stair to climb up to. If you are traveling with heavy luggages, there is one elevator at the back entrance of the hotel. The location of the ground level elevator is a bit hard to find and the entrance to the elevator feels like a loading area (which is probably what it is intended to be used for. Otherwise, this is an awesome stay!

Very good location, close to station. Elevator to reception is a bit hidden on the backside of the building though. Quick check-in. Room per usual small but this is the norm for all hotels in Tokyo. Think rooms is fairly recently renovated looked very new. Bed bit firmer than normal. Biggest drawback that could be a problem is that heating/AC is centrally controlled. When I arrived it had been a very warm day in Tokyo so was extremely hot in room and no way to turn heater to cooling. Should be noted windows could at least be opened (but as hotel is close to station you will hear trains). But in overall for the price I paid I would still stay at this hotel next time.

Prefer individual room control of heating/cooling.

Although the room was very small, the location just steps from Otsuka Station on the Yamanote Line more than made up for that. The front desk staff tried to be helpful, helping me with storing my bags for a few hours after I checked out and being very polite in answering my questions although I hardly speak any Japanese.

The bathrooms were incredibly tight for a Westerner. But water was warm and overall everything functioned well. Wish the windows had been constructed to allow for a view. As it was, half the window was permanently blocked by the sliding screen, which made the room darker than it needed to be. The breakfast selection was extremely limited so usually I had to supplement with bought food from the nearby stores.

Location is superb, easily seen from the north exit of Otsuka station. Close to restaurants and 7-11. Room was small, but had everything needed for a good night's rest. Bathroom was small, but well designed. Water pressure was perfect. Free breakfast options were fine. Had a small window I could open that overlooked the station area. Despite being a cold winter's night, the room stayed warm and cozy. The hotel also had washing machines (2 x 100 yen coin to operate), clothes driers (2 x 100 yen coin per 30 min), and a microwave, all in an alcove on the 4th floor. Machine to dispense change available in the entrance lobby. Staff friendly, helpful, and coped well with my limited Japanese.

Entry on booking doesn't mention washing machines, driers and microwave listed in their available facilities. Nearly didn't book here because I was looking for them. No problems with the hotel at all. Would happily recommend.

The staff was quite helpful & patient. In the last 20 years, I always stay in Otsuka close to the station. Many places closed during the covid years. Your hotel is a welcome addition.

10 o'clock check out time was a little early, I thought. Sometimes, when I am in Tokyo, I need to send luggage or various papers out on the day I leave. Your staff was quite understanding and I was allowed to check out a little later than 10:00 / I think it was 10:20.

Breakfast was tasty and convenient, and the convenient location right next to Otsuka station is hard to beat.

Daily room cleaning disrupted the room for a few hours each day. I was always out all day so it didn't really affect me, but if I had needed the room during the day that could have been a problem. I expect that the staff would have made allowances if I had wanted to be in the room during the day.

Excellent value in a fun and highly convenient location (hey, it's even near Gold's Gym!). Convenient restaurants and basically just seconds from the train station

Typical of Japanese inexpensive hotels, the pillows were miserable. One thin rice cracker of a pillow per human. Sadly that is the norm here though unless you pay more. Bed was narrow and quite hard. Some country's tourists like hard mattresses. My wife was not one of those tourists, so she had a hard night. Again though, cost performance was high

Was very well located to an event I was attending. Only one stop away from Ikebukuro. The staff were really accommodating and helpful when I needed to check in a little bit early because I was going to be away later.

Nothing. I would happily stay there again.

Cheap late check-out (1200Y for extra 2 hours). Relaxing elevator music playing when I enter the room.

Insulation from outdoor noise was suboptimal, although it isn't in a busy area so I was still able to sleep comfortably.

Close to train station

Entrance not at street level and need to climb up steep stairs. Have to use service lift at the back of the property if physically challanged.
