We stayed in this hotel for 6 nights. Found a good deal for JPY11,000 per night on a Deluxe Room with bkfast included. We made this booking 6 weeks prior to our arrival. Book it in advance to avoid disappointment. Cancellation policy is 48 hours.
Room - This is 3-star hotel, so have your expectations low. We actually enjoyed it very much. The room was equipped with what we needed. Heater and aircon was OK, we didn't use the TV, no English channels. No WI-FI in the room, so bring your own LAN cable or rent a pocket WI-FI at the airport if you can. Bathroom was good too, shower was excellent with strong water pressure, standard toiletries ie shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toothbrush, toothpaste, razor. Housekeeping came only twice during our 7-day stay. Fridge, microwave, coffee, tea and cooking utensils came with the room. Feather pillows and the bed was a bit hard for us.
Hotel location - It's 5 minutes walking distance to Okubo JR station and 8-10 minutes walking distance to Shin-Okubo JR station. There is an Italian Rest next to the hotel, open from 11am to 2am. Tesco Express Supermarket is next to the hotel. Very safe and nice neibourhood. I was told that Okubo is like a mini-Korean town. Couldn't tell the difference between Japs and Koreans. They all looked the same to me.
Hotel - Nice building. Hotel security is enforced after 8pm. You need to go thru 2 doors with your access card. Hotel staff are not friendly and they don't smile at you but they are very helpful if you need any assistance. They all speak English but talk to them slowly. We needed to store some food in their freezer and they helped us with our request without a problem. They even helped us with 2 local phone calls.
Breakfast - Our breakfast was included in our room rate. A total dissapointment. They only served tea/coffee. Croissants and some bread. There was also some cereal with a choice of plain yogurt and strawberry sauce. We went down only once during our entire stay.
Room view - Request city view and high floor when you do your booking. You may see Mt Fuji from your room.
We will definitely book this hotel next time we are in Tokyo.
