Out of the four hotels I stayed at in Tokyo (ranging from 3-star to 5-star, I booked one of each), this was easily the worst. The front desk service was subpar compared to other hotels. Despite being advertised as a 4-star hotel, the facilities and bedding felt more like a 2.5-star property, even worse than some 3-star hotels. During my multi-day stay, the room was never cleaned. The bed itself also wasn't very comfortable.

I booked this hotel based on its 4-star rating. While I wasn't expecting all the amenities like a gym that other 4-star hotels typically offer (that wasn't my main concern), the actual in-room facilities bore no resemblance to a 4-star standard.

The room was very small, and the main issue was the poor natural light; despite having a window, it was surprisingly dim. Of course, other hotel rooms can also be small, but they often have a more practical layout.

The only advantages were its proximity to the subway station and the complimentary juice.

Getting to the hotel from Haneda Airport is very convenient; you can take an airport limousine bus directly to the Asakusa View Hotel. From there, it's just a short walk past the Life supermarket and two traffic lights. The hotel features a communal kitchen on the 4th floor and complimentary self-service drinks on the ground floor. Overall, for its price point in Tokyo, the hotel offers good value. The only minor inconvenience is the access to subway and JR lines; otherwise, everything is great.

Overall, I was very pleased. The hotel offers a selection of complimentary bottled water in the ground floor lobby, which guests can take to go or enjoy on-site. In the evenings, they also provide delicious, free tea-soaked rice. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly as well.

The room size was decent, and it was well-equipped. The front desk service was good. It's about a ten-minute walk from Namba subway station, and the area outside is very lively. There's a free-flowing beverage station on the first floor, where I sat for a while in the evening. The Japanese breakfast was healthy, but I wasn't quite used to it.

Japanese hotels are often compact, yet they're always well-equipped and have everything you need. This hotel, recommended by my friend, perfectly fits that description. Its location is excellent: there are several subway exits right outside, and Shinsaibashi is just a short walk away. The breakfast was also quite good; I especially loved the udon noodles.

A modern hotel in the middle of the dynamic sightseeing and shopping area of Sakae. 3 mins to Mirai TV tower. My room had a classy, boutique feel and the tower night view was pretty from the 12th floor window. Staff remembered to accommodate my room request, thank you! Free drinks for guests at the lounge cum breakfast space. The breakfast spread was amazingly extensive, featuring the specials of Nagoya from the ogura toast to the tsubake chicken wings and grilled eel rice. Worth getting the room with breakfast, or even topping up 14.000yen for. Come down early though, because the seating space is small and rather cramped, so you will need to wait and be assigned seats. Guests eating solo may have to sit at communal tables.
