After comparing several hotels, I finally chose this one. It was a great experience! The room is spacious and bright, the facilities are new and complete, and breakfast and free parking are included. The surrounding transportation is convenient, and you can walk to the business district. In the same price range, this hotel is definitely the best in quality and service. I highly recommend it. A must-go for those who love details! The room is warmly decorated, with a smart toilet, a sensor night light, and a large viewing window... You can feel the ingenuity of the design in every corner. The breakfast is very rich, with both Chinese and Western styles, and the taste is also very good.

Hands down the best place I've ever stayed; I've only been gone a day and I already miss it! The staff were incredibly kind and professional, and the rooms were tastefully decorated and thoughtfully designed for guests. The location couldn't be better, making it super convenient for exploring Akihabara. Overall, this hotel played a huge part in making my first trip to Japan so incredibly smooth. It was a truly unforgettable seven days.

Overall, the hotel is acceptable. I believe most guests choose it primarily for its excellent location in Ikebukuro. However, the cleanliness was only average; they don't provide a thorough cleaning for consecutive two-night stays, which is quite an issue. Additionally, the Narita Airport Limousine Bus service isn't very convenient, so keep that in mind. On the bright side, there are plenty of fantastic dining and entertainment options nearby. I highly recommend checking out the yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) restaurants!

I have never regretted my choice of hotel. Very convenient location: near Shimbashi and Toronomon stations, there are many food establishments, including Ichiran Ramen with the best tonkotsu ramen. The outer gardens of the Imperial Palace and Ginza are within walking distance. This is a business district, so there are no crowds of tourists here, it is very quiet, cozy and clean. There are many combines nearby. The staff at the hotel is very friendly, they helped us solve all our questions. The room is small but clean. The bed is large and comfortable. The quality of cleaning can be improved: always vacuum and change the bathrobes: one day our bathrobes were taken away, but no new ones were brought. But everything else is very good. Thanks to The B, I will come back to you again. 

p.s.: I’m sorry I don't have photos from the room, but there are a lot of photos near the hotel. Feel the vibe.

During our stay at B Hotel and had the pleasure of being assisted by Bishal during both our check-in and check-out. He is truly one of the best people we have met at a hotel reception. Bishal was extremely kind, understanding, and supportive with all our requests. He guided us with useful information about new locations and made us feel genuinely welcomed. His professionalism and positive attitude stood out, and we sincerely wish his work schedule had matched our stay, as he made a real difference.

Unfortunately, when Bishal was not on duty, we faced several challenges with the housekeeping staff. The service was consistently poor — the room was not dusted daily, and we had to repeatedly go down to reception to request basic housekeeping. The staff often seemed unwilling to assist, making faces as though they didn’t want to work. On one occasion, when we asked for the bedsheet to be changed, they left a note saying it couldn’t be done because of “personal items” on the bed — when in reality, the only item was a hotel-provided pajama. When we raised this again, the housekeeping staff came to our room, handed me a sheet, and expected me to change it myself. When I refused, he stared at me and told me to “leave the room” because he wouldn’t change the sheet in front of me. This behavior is completely unacceptable in a hotel environment.

If Bishal had been available throughout our stay, I am confident we would not have experienced such negativity. His excellent service deserves recognition, but unfortunately, the unprofessional behavior of the housekeeping team left a disappointing impression on our overall stay.

Excellent Stay with the Sweetest Staff
From the moment we arrived, the check-in was swift and welcoming—truly one of the friendliest hotel teams we’ve met. The rooms are clean and comfortable, though a bit on the smaller side—but that’s to be expected in Japan. The breakfast buffet offers a nice variety, with options that cater to both local and Western tastes. All in all, a great experience and we’d happily stay again.

The hotel was exceptionally clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. It was a great convenience to have Chinese-speaking staff at the front desk. Our room came with a coffee machine, and the ground-floor breakfast was very handy. Plus, it's conveniently located not far from the subway station. I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely choose this hotel again.

We stayed at the b Akasaka-Mitsuke between 22 to 26 APR.

I would like to thank Jeff for his wonderful assistance and hospitality. He assisted us with all our enquiries (airport transfer in the morning, luggage concerns, dinner reservations), and ensured that we felt assured & looked after. He must be a great asset to the company as he works diligently, is forthcoming, communicates with ease, and treated us with empathy. 

The room was an appropriate size for two of us, despite having 3 large luggages and 3 smaller cabin bags. The air conditioning worked perfectly, the showers were strong, the sheets were clean, and the window had an appropriate light shield. The mini fridge would gather water over time, but since we were there for only 4 nights, there was no issue of leaking. 

The hotel is located within a drinking/restaurant district with a handful of accessible convenience shops (Lawsons, Don Quijote, supermarket). Many yummy restaurants around. Beware that there will be significant amount of drinking in the vicinity after work-hours. If you wish to be around locals (salarymen & women), and away from a heavily touristic site: this area would be great. In terms of romance, perhaps a few notches down. Regardless, it was a very interesting place to witness, and tourist-friendly too. 

Would stay there again in future if I am back in Akasaka.

The B Asakusa, is great. Its location although a little away from the actual city of Tokyo. It doesn’t matter. The underground system as next level. You can be anywhere within 30-40 min. Asakusa is also a lovely place to explore. 

The hotel itself is, really good. The rooms are a little small, but I’ve found this with most of the places I’ve stayed in this part of the world. But comfortable, bed is great to relax in after a long day of exploring. Wi-Fi as you’d expect in Japan really good. Need to think about storage, but it’s workable. Staff are all very helpful, the coffee and cakes in the evening are a nice touch. 

All in all you can’t t fault the hotel. Top notch.

This is my second time to stay this hotel. Although the room is small but this is just nice for a couple. I am really love this hotel location as it is not a busy city of Tokyo and also not far from Tokyo. At the same time, the hotel street along come with many types of local authentic restaurants as well as the hotel downstairs do have Lawson. Highly highly recommended this hotel!!!

Very good and convenient location ,drop off from airport bus liner stop, the hotel can see at the front of you , just across the street to go in , easy to access to everywhere in susukino street walking, central Sapporo, recommended.

This is my second stay here, and I personally find it quite good. It's very close to Hakata Station; after taking the bus from the airport to Hakata Station, it's less than a 10-minute walk. The rooms are also fine.

The breakfast offers a good mix of Japanese and Western options, including salads, bread, cakes, as well as ramen and rice (where you can add your own broth). For drinks, there's coffee, milk, and juice.

The only minor inconvenience is that the room's air conditioning only has four settings (off, low, medium, high) without specific temperature control. Medium felt too cold, while low felt too hot. However, it's a minor issue overall. I'd probably stay here again if I come back to Fukuoka.
