Keikyu Ex Hotel Takanawa

“Large rooms for a reasonable price”

This hotel used to be a upper class Meridien hotel. It turned a bit old. It was refurnished, still looks a bit old on the inside, but still has the large rooms which I like very much. The breakfast is also quite extensive for the price you pay.

“Hotel with everything you need”

The hotel I used for two nights whilst in Tokyo, it’s a 5 minute walk from Shinagawa on the ‘central line’ of Tokyo line. The easy access means you can get any of the top locations in tokyo within 20 minutes either way. The hotel was nice a clean throughout it seemed very busy during the week but... more

The hotel I used for two nights whilst in Tokyo, it’s a 5 minute walk from Shinagawa on the ‘central line’ of Tokyo line. The easy access means you can get any of the top locations in tokyo within 20 minutes either way. The hotel was nice a clean throughout it seemed very busy during the week but the staff were very friendly on arrival and the check in was smooth. The room was big it had a double bed, desk, tv and I had space to open my suitcase and leave it open without taking up most of the room. Furniture was all fairly new and I had a great view of Tokyo Tower. The bathroom was excellent as ever powerful and hot showers. The bathroom amenities were a good quality providing Face, Body and Hair wash the bathroom also had toothbrush, razor and towel. The cover all bases here so you really don’t need to take any of your own unless you stay longer than a week. No food included in our room as Tokyo has so much you can find a decent breakfast anywhere in the area. Would stay here for business or pleasure.

“Close to Shinagawa Station”

-Free gift for ladies (either bath salt, steaming eye mask, or muscle patches) - Great amenities - including free mouthwash Cons: - Toilet and room doesn't seem to ventilate very well - Rooms a bit small But definitely the price was great. I would have liked to stay at the prince hotel but... more

I would have liked to stay at the prince hotel but it was too expensive in December. This was a good alternative. They also do luggage storage if you do overnight trips out of Tokyo. Shinagawa is also a great location to stay if you are travelling out of Tokyo (very accessible to both Haneda and Narita airport, and a main shinkansen station/on the Yamanote Line) There is also a coin washing machine to do a laundry

“Great Location, Average A/C”

Stayed here during early November, which was unusually "warm" temperature-wise. Location was perfect due to proximity to Shinagawa Station. Room was small, but not cramped. Free WIFI made keeping connected easy. On the downside, previous posts about the bathroom not being vented well, when it comes to odors, are correct. Because of the warm weather outside, and inability to control the temperature within the room, each night was uncomfortably hot, and I have to drop a star on the rating for that. Also, a caution about the stairs at the main street entrance, because of those being built on a slope, it can be easy to accidentally catch your foot (or roller suitcase) on a very low-elevation step and stumble.
