Perfect location near to Akihabara station. Family of 4 slept comfortably on each bed. Sound of train didn't bother us since we were so tired from all day adventures. Bath/toilet room might be a little tight for big people but we didn't had an issue. Free amenities include mask and wash cloth, toothbrush etc .. were great. Front desk stuff can speak both English and Japanese thoroughly and very helpful. Key coffee shop within is also great. Very tasty hot coffee. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

Good location. Walking distance for train stations and good location on akihabara. Down side is the noice of the trains. Your literally under the rail system. Takes a few nights to adjust but in the end of the day after a long day of walking and exploring, the noice fades away

We ended up arriving in Tokyo a night early so we booked here to stay for one night. Very comfortable and everyone was really nice at the front desk. The train is loud, but really wasn't a big deal. We enjoyed our night here.

I was worried about the train noise at first, but I ended up finding it to be somewhat soothing. This is a no frills hotel situated right near the heart of Akihabara. The front desk area is also a very pleasant cafe.

The location was amazing! I would definitely stay here again. Although our group of 4 was cramped in there, we didn’t stay for too long in the room and it was very convenient to reach the train station. My only complaint is that the sides by the beds are very very dusty. Other than that, no complaint.

Excellent but with a caveat

Staying in this hotel is a very unique and interesting experience. Excellent location. Amazing staff. Very clean, but this is not a traditional hotel - not in a bad sense though if you are open to non traditional ways of accommodation. A word of caution: if you have low tolerance of noises ( thinking about trains passing literally overhead) you might want to think twice before booking this one.

This was a really cool hotel. We had 5 people with us and booked the room with double bunked beds and a single bed. The room was small but still comfy. I thought the sound from the subway would bother me but it really didn’t. Not saying that it wasn’t loud, just saying it wasn’t bothersome. They do offer ear plugs and other toiletry items for free. It’s in the anime district and many walkable places. The cafe was good as well and the staff was super friendly. I would definitely book again if I come back to Japan.

Quirky stay in great location.

This is a fantastic little hotel in the heart of a bustling neighborhood but on a side street that isnt too busy. We came here straight off the plane and jetlagged. I had lost my passport and the receptionist called the police and helped me find it. Their service was fantastic and it was such a unique space to be in You can hear the trains, they run right over regularly however they didn't bother us at all and I found them strangely soothing. There is a cafe bar linked to the hotel, really lovely, great spot for a morning coffee

I must say it was definitely a rare and unique experience to stay under the working JR railway. However, the room I stayed was far away from relaxing to stretch out your body after a long flight or busy days with sightseeing. I booked room type F but the room description was misleading. It said 2x single beds 1x bunk bed, but it was actually 2x bunk beds. Everything was so minimal. You won’t get those amenities available at other hotels of the same price range.

Nice place with a few things to pick

Quadruple room was good for the three of us. Noise is actually not that loud. Would had welcomed a laundry area with coin washing machine (had to go to suehirocho coin laundry during our stay). Toilet was too cramped for a big sized person like me. I had to go to the guest toilet at the lobby.

Location was the best part of this hotel. Thankfully it was only one night but, the noise from the subway (which was expected) wasn’t even the worst part. The room had 2 beds but the room itself was so small, the washroom was tiny and so small that half the sink was in the bathtub. One of my roommates ended up hurting his shoulder on the corner of the wall, another roommate his hit head. Waking up in the middle of the night to use the washroom was a hazard

Decent hotel w/ a few caveats

I'm was a pretty decent stay, 4/5. We booked a double bed room with a bathroom. It was relatively small and we barely had room to open our 2 suitcases. The bathroom is tiny - there isn't much leg space in front of the toilet and the sink hangs half way into the shower, but despite this everything was still suitably usable for a single person. the trashcan in the room is very small, so we would recommend disposing of some of your trash in the cafe at the front of the hotel if necessary. In generally, all the ceilings are rather low, such as many things in Japan, so you may be uncomfortable if you are a tall person. There will definitely be railway sounds ranging from soft to loud, but that can't be helped as the hotel is directly underneath one, and if you are a heavy sleeper like us, it will not keep you from sleeping. We had one cleaning during our stay of 4 nights where they changed out our towels and cleaned/folded our sheets, and the staff are all very polite. As mentioned before, the hotel front is actually a cafe where you can order some pretty decent food and drinks, and will serve as a great place to relax and sit if you find there is not enough room in your hotel unit to sit. They provide free slippers, toiletries, etc in the front which you can take as needed. Hotel is just a few minutes walk from Akihabara as well as Akihabara station, so proximity wise the location is great. Overall a pretty decent hotel for the price.
