It is in a good location with 5 mins to Asakusa line & 10 mins to Ginza line & the shopping district. They provide umbrellas when it rains. The only complaint is that the room is very small. Hardly any space for opening 2 large bags. Should have go for the twin single bed room instead of the semi double as the bed is very small for 2 person.At least go for the double room.

If Tokyo had a “calm corner,” it would be Nihonbashi Hamacho — and staying at KOKO Hotel Premier feels like you’ve unlocked it. It’s the perfect blend of minimal Japanese aesthetics, peaceful surroundings, and practical city access.

The moment we walked into the lobby, it felt quiet, clean, and polished. Everything was smooth: self check-in machines (with English), kind staff, and a cozy lobby that even had complimentary tea service.

🚇 Transportation:

Hamacho Station (Toei Shinjuku Line) – 2-min walk

Suitengumae Station (Hanzomon Line) – 7-min walk

Easy access to Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Tokyo Station within 15–20 mins.

📍 What’s Nearby (walking distance):

Sumida River Walk – for a peaceful stroll in the morning or sunset photos.

Suitengu Shrine – small but meaningful, known for prayers of safe childbirth.

Nihonbashi Neighborhood – filled with traditional vibes, cafes, and bakeries.

COREDO Muromachi & Mitsukoshi – a few stops away for high-end shopping and food.

🛏️ About the room:
We booked a double room — super clean, modern, and spacious by Tokyo standards. The bed was comfy, bathroom had deep soaking tub (plus bath salt provided!), and the view of the quiet streets below was soothing.

☕ Vending machines, free drip coffee, laundry room, and even yukata available. Everything’s designed to be simple but premium.

✨ Why stay here:

If you want to be near central Tokyo but away from the crowd.

If you love quiet neighborhoods with old Tokyo charm.

If you’re exploring with family or just want to rest well after a busy day.

This hotel isn’t loud, flashy, or touristy — and that’s exactly its charm. We left feeling refreshed, recharged, and ready for another Tokyo adventure.

Location was good. Service was your usual Japanese politeness. Rooms were above average size, very clean, and well appointed, with almost all amenities available in the self-service shelf in the lobby.  We stayed in a double room and the furnishing was the weirdest oddity. It was a king bed (two singles joined together with a seam down the middle but surprisingly comfortable). However, it came with the smallest half-pillows. It was comical and unfortunately also inadequate. And there were no bedside tables despite having the space, and the nice USB wall chargers exactly where the side tables should've been.

The staff are so nice and their speaking english is quite good.
The service is really good. There're free drink services and breads for breakfast. 

The location, firstly, is a nearby tokyo tower. Every time I walked back to the hotel, I would take a photo of tokyo tower (endless photos). Secondly, there're many restaurants and Lawson, family mart nearby. Third, it's close to 3 train stations that easily go travel.  

The room size for me is ok, but for western people may seem too small for them.

Next time for Tokyo trip, this hotel will be my accommodation.

The location  actually is not far from ueno station   (JR Line) ~ and Asakusa Station (Toei Line dan Ginza line) 
But the nearest station is Tawaramachi from the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line. 
You can walk to Asakusa sensoji Temple from here~  
Enjoy around while walking to Sensoji Temple so you feel bored. 
Combini Store is everywhere too~ Of course 7.11 is the nearest one. The reception is very helpful. They are come from different country~ and they got water filter too~ it is really help us a lot who love to drink water ~  The Aminities is really good too. Free coffee, black tea, green tea and chocolate drinks too.

Really recommend it when traveling with family, small kids. You can rent baby stoller too if you want. baby high chair for eat. Video game or card game too. 
The room around the kitchen have to clean properly please because there is a lot of dust and maybe the carpet too~ 
The tatami room is very good. The kids really like it.

The location is very good and easy to find. The room is spacious and great for 3 of us. We love the simple kitchen and washing machine that we can use. The hotel staff is very accommodating. However, we got some hiccups during check in. When we book the room, we have already mentioned 3 persons to stay at each room, however, we have to pay extra money for the 3rd person. There is nothing much we can do so we surrendered.

Arrived around midnight and frontdesk was available. Very fast check in and out process. There is a smell from the shower curtain but overall the room was  quite clean. Very good location but the closest train exit doesn’t have an elevator. Got coined laundry and ice machine and offer luggage storage.

Likes: The room and especially the bathroom is very very clean. The staff has limited English but enough to communicate. About 5 mins walk to JR line Shin Imamiya and Sakaisuji line trains. Just a 10mins train ride to Namba and Shinsaibashi the main touristy area. Umeda is a bit further like 25mins. Amenities such as toothbrush and lotion available at the lobby. Many many eateries around the hotel, and also convenient stores like Daily yamazaki and Family mart is really close by. There is vending machines on floor 1,4,7 if you want a quick drink.

Dislikes: When I first reached it was a bit confusing to reach the hotel when coming out the Shin imamiya station. There is a lot of Chinese tourist and these barbarians open their room door and make a lot of noise, if so unlucky you got the same floors as them. Count your lucky stars if you don't.
Breakfast is kinda same every morning and it's boring after 2 days lol. Limited choice but nutritious.

This hotel has a good location near the Namba train station and Tsutenkaku Tower, with Dotonbori just a 15-minute walk away. The staff were friendly and the room was clean, though the bathroom was very small. However, the room itself was unacceptably small for the price—barely enough space to open a single suitcase. While the convenience is great for solo travelers, the lack of space makes it poor value compared to similarly priced options.  
The hotel is only worth considering if you prioritize location above all else and are traveling very light. I wouldn’t stay here again unless the price dropped significantly.

The location is fantastic. Shinsaibashi is just a short walk away, and it's also very close to the subway. The front desk service was excellent, and the room was well-equipped with everything I needed. A thoughtful touch was the self-service station at the front desk offering complimentary tea, makeup remover, facial cleanser, and combs. It was a very convenient stay, and they also have laundry facilities available.

Fairly large triple room for Japan. Decent location too. You can leave your used towels outside for them to change daily

Perfect stay at Kyoto! Nearby Sanjo subway and accessible! Very close walking distance to the main city and pleasant stay! Provide complimentary hot and cold drinks from 12pm onwards! The hotel staff is friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommended!

The hotel is new; we checked in on the third day after it opened. We had an executive room with two beds and a sofa. There were three of us.
The hotel staff is very friendly and speaks several languages. The front desk is open 24 hours.
Everything is top-notch:
* a bed with an anatomically high mattress and soft, warm blankets,
* daily cleaning,
* shampoo, shower gel, and conditioner,
* a personalized facial care kit (makeup remover, cleansing gel, lotion, and cleansing milk)
* toothbrush/paste, comb, razor, mouthwash, cotton pads and swabs
* towels and lounge suits for the room and the spa and sauna

The sauna, spa, and gym are located on the -1 floor. All the equipment is new, clean, and pleasant. The spa plays pleasant music. The gym is open 24 hours. The spa and sauna are open from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM (I could be wrong about the evening hours, as I've always made it before 10:00 PM).

All the hotel photos on the website are accurate, and even better!

Next time I come to Kyoto, I'll definitely stay at this hotel (3)

A big thank you to the staff for our stay at this hotel!

I took my child to see the cherry blossoms on her birthday. I had to eat at this noodle shop after the ticket check. It was delicious. The hotel was very comfortable. The hotel provided a complete range of skin care products and toiletries. There was also a self-service currency exchange machine in the hotel. The exchange rate seemed a little higher, but it was convenient. It was close to the subway and there were many convenience stores nearby. I bought breakfast for the next day every night. There were microwave ovens and battery stoves. After eating, I set off to the nearby attractions in about 20 minutes. I took my child on foot and there were scenery everywhere. It was a pleasant journey.
