Nice, clean and well located hotel nearby all the main attractions in Tokyo with excellent transport links and convenience stores nearby. Only downside is rooms sizes are very small but this is an issue with most tokyo hotels. Staff are friendly and managed to book us luggage transfer from hotel to our next hotel in kyoto. They provide free toiletries in reception if you forgot to bring with you.

“Cramped room”

Location was great, lots of restaurants nearby; nonstop train to/from Tokyo Station or Haneda airport. I liked the fresh white sheets, towels, and the big bed (160cm x 200cm).

Location was great, lots of restaurants nearby; nonstop train to/from Tokyo Station or Haneda airport. I liked the fresh white sheets, towels, and the big bed (160cm x 200cm). Amenities like toothbrush, shower cap,.. were available in one part of the lobby. The room was clean. My main issue was the size. There was hardly any space on the floor for one suitcase because of the big bed. It was an inconvenience to close the suitcase everytime I wanted to go to the bathroom because of the tiny space. I'm not sure if it was a real small window but it couldn't be opened.

“Unexpectedly small room size”

Ok, so there are some pros and cons to this hotel. Pros: It is in a convenient location for the subway line with easy access to the rest of Tokyo It is in a quieter area of Tokyo with significantly less tourists than, say, Shinjuku The staff was extremely friendly and helpful both before and during our stay The price point was extremely decent for over the New Years Holiday Cons: The rooms are SMALL. And, listen, I've traveled to a number of countries. I do not expect American sized hotel rooms anywhere else in the world. But the pictures here do not do the small size of the room justice. We reserved a wide double bed room. When we opened the door, there was barely enough space for us to fit our 2 suitcases and ourselves. We could only get ready on at a time because there wasn't enough space to open both suitcases at the same time. If a suitcase was open, we had to step over it and each other to get to the bathroom. This setup may work for an individual, but definitely not a couple. Perhaps they have rooms that are larger, but that was not our case. The beds are hard as rocks. It was like sleeping on the floor. As a woman, I have hips and felt like my hips were bruised from sleeping on my side. I even eventually asked for an extra blanket and laid down on top of that to help cushion it a little. Due to it being in a less touristy area, there was almost nothing over while we were there (it was the New Year's Holiday and we were prepared for a lot of things to be closed but not for EVERYTHING to be closed). So overall, there are a lot of great aspects about this hotel. Clean, convenient, great staff. But , for me, the cons outweigh those great aspects so I can't recommend it to anyone without those warnings and I certainly will not be able to stay here again.
