We loved having waves Nakameguro as our home base for the first half of our trip in Tokyo. It had fewer amenities than most hotels we stayed in, but having such a large room (I think we were in room 8) was a huge bonus. The shower room was a little awkward to share with so many other people, however if we had another long stay in Tokyo we would certainly use waves again. The staff were lifesaving!! I had a mistake where I sent my luggage to the wrong place using takyubin, and the staff at waves called the location for me and handled my mistake. I was so grateful for them.

We found the shared bathrooms a bit awkward, however it was worth it for the size of our room and the location. We made sure to wake up slightly earlier than others so we could get showers before heading out in the morning!

The location was fantastic - so easy to get to all tourist sites on the south and west sides of Tokyo. The neighborhood itself was really walkable and had great restaurants and shops which we defaulted to when tired at the end of the day. The rooms were clean and comfortable. It was nice and unexpected to have refidgerator space to keep our water bottles cold in the hot summer. I loved the open common space to hang out in while others are sleeping. Other reviews noted noise from the subway. While I heard it when I listened, it never would have disturbed me. It was a get set up for a family of 4 (two teens) who did not need a fancy hotel or concierge.

Walk up 3 stories in unaircontioned stairwell... although it did make walking into AC much sweeter.

The rooms were large and comfortable. The living area was also great. Seven rooms face onto the living/kitchen area. Four on the train station side and three on the street side. The four larger rooms are on the station side. The train is a little noisy closest to one end (room 5), but bearable. If you have concerns, wear earplugs. The living area can sometimes be a little noisy but generally people are considerate. There are two showers, two men’s and two women’s toilets. They are adequate, but if there are lots of people there’s sometimes a wait for the showers. The kitchen provides shelves in refrigerators for each room. There is a microwave, toaster, jug and hotplate. The kitchen is kept clean. It could possibly do with some towels for wiping dishes and the drying rack needs replacing as the drying tray is rusted out. The area is lovely and there is a great supermarket, excellent bakery and lots of restaurants. The Isakaya across the road, specialises in clams and is wonderful. The Waves is obviously very close to the station so it’s very easy to get anywhere. Staff were pleasant and we especially found Naoki to be very pleasant and helpful! This was the perfect place for our small group to stay and we highly recommend it.

Some areas need a deep clean, but generally it’s okay.

Close to the station with a line that had easy access to all the big spots (Shibuya, Shinjuku etc). Lots of restaurants etc around too, cute little area (but much less touristy and busy) Having a private room was great for the price! Shared bathrooms were clean + tidy, great to have a hairdryer and shampoo conditioner etc. Nice vibes and interior.

Maybe could have been nice if there was more socialisation in the common area but maybe we were just there at a more quiet time.

Waves nakameguro offers nice rooms and nice shared spaces. The location is in a very nice neighbourhood of Tokyo, with many restaurants and cafes around, and close to the metro station to go visit the rest of the city.

There are no private bathrooms (only shared), which is no problem per se but good to know in advance. It can get quite noisy as it is in a go-out night life area and is next to the metro station with trains passing (especially the rooms on the side closest to the railways). However, overall it is a good place in a strategic position to visit Tokyo!

The room was spacious, and the bed meticulously clean. The staff attentively managed my luggage, providing service that was both friendly and efficient. The hotel maintained a serene atmosphere, complemented by its interesting minimalist decor. Its prime location adjacent to the train station enhances its appeal, coupled with pricing that is exceptionally fair.

I wish the hotel wasn't located on the third floor without an elevator. Carrying my bags up was a challenge.

Great location! We expected it to be noisy being right next to train tracks but it didn’t bother us at all. Staff was very friendly.

Room was freezing when we arrived, and it took a while to get help with the heating (very friendly staff though!). Room is very basic and quite pricey for not having a private toilet or bathroom but the location makes up for it.

The location was near to the subway Nakameguro, just a 2 minutes walk, with lots of food options nearby. Fellow residents staying at the hostels are also respectful and kept the place clean.

No elevator to the 3rd floor. It is quite tiring to carry heavy luggages up.

Adorable place with everything you need, in an area with so many good food places and train station just there. Quiet streets but with a lot going on. Beds comfortable and so much space in the rooms

Everything is perfect

Greta location. Big rooms for Tokyo. Clean and quiet.

Only 2 showers but that didn’t matter during our stay. Bit noisy from railway but again this didn’t bother us. Small downsides for a great spot.
