Small compact room. Had all the basics. Didn't use the kitchen, but the shared bathrooms were clean and top notch. Location was awesome, steps to the train with both a coffee shop and pastry shop just around the corner. Would definitely recommend, especially if on a budget.

I used a private room. Good size, had a wardrobe and comfortable bed. Air conditioning worked fine. Sheets and towels were clean. Staff was very friendly. I didn’t use the kitchen except to look for a bottle opener, didn’t see utensils. Shower etc was fine. Place looks quite used/run down, could use a refresh. Also, the wardrobe had a bag of towels from the prior guest? Walls were pretty thin and you could hear people in the halls quite easily, but other guests generally respected quiet hours. For the price, it was good. Great location with conbini and restaurants on the other side of the tracks.

The location may present a slight challenge for individuals unfamiliar with Tokyo. However, the check-in process was efficient, and the staff graciously extended their hours to accommodate my arrival. The property is conveniently situated adjacent to Nokai Station. The room was nicely maintainer, and the shower offered excellent water pressure. As a solo female traveler, I felt secure throughout my stay. I would recommend this establishment.

I stayed 10 nights here, honestly the room is pretty bare bones but we were just using it as a place to sleep and keep our stuff. Room was clean and had all our necessities private bath (make sure you book a room with one if needed), microwave and stove top and storage space. A short walk away from Nakai Station is a huge plus the area is quite and the SS line is much less busy than some others. 2 station ride gets you to Takadanobaba Station were you can pretty much get anywhere from. Staff were super helpful and kind and ready to get anything to help your stay. If your looking for a place to rest your head in Tokyo I can recommend here.

The location is a short 1 min walk away from the train station and having it be close made our trasit with luggage very straight-forward. The area is quiet and away from the urban areas as well. It is exactly what we paid for. It's not the most impressive but for its price point I'd say it did its job of meeting our accomodation requirements for our Japan trip.
