Minakami Onsen

This was my first time staying at MONday. I was really surprised by how much the staff provides to guests. There is complimentary tea/water dispensed. They also have a self-serve area to grab any items you might need for your stay: toothbrush/toothpaste, comb, hair tie, laundry detergent, and electrolyte salt tabs since it was peak summer. They also sell 50 yen water bottles so you don't have to go out and buy it at a store for an average of 170 yen, I would say the location is pretty convenient, especially for Tokyo. You're right next to the Yamanote and Keihan lines, but if you want to take the Ginza line then the station is only a 5 min walk. It's also located in the middle of a bunch of local restaurants and shops so a good place to explore. I didn't realize that Akihabara was only a 8 minute walk and Ueno was a 5 minute walk from this hotel. Don't let the train tracks deter you, I didn't hear the train once during my 7 night stay. The insulation of the sound is crazy good. The room and service was nice. If you stay more than 4 nights, they do room service every 3 days of your stay. The washer/dryer is a must and I will say this was the most convenient unit I have used in Japan where it actually dries my clothes. They collect trash everyday, as long as you leave it outside your door before noon. Staff is nice and attentive, they even brought our luggage in a our room for us before check-in as we got there a little early. I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel! 5/5

This hotel was close to the train station, and their directions from the station were perfect. The breakfast was delicious and the room was clean.
