"I'm genuinely so pleased with this place, I absolutely have to rave about it!
First off, the location is incredibly convenient, super close to Kawasaki Station. I took the Tobu Line from Tokyo Station, and it was less than 30 minutes. I actually think it would be perfectly fine to stay here even if you're planning to explore central Tokyo. It's also just a 10-minute walk to Keikyu Kawasaki Station, making the trip to Haneda Airport a breezy 30 minutes – so convenient!
However, a crucial tip: when you exit the station, *do not* go down to the first floor! Head straight out from the second floor of the station, and you'll see the hotel's main entrance right there. You won't find the entrance if you're on the ground floor. I actually spent quite a while wandering around on the first floor following my map, until a very kind Japanese gentleman personally guided us to the hotel's front desk. I was so thankful for his help! 🙏 Later, I discovered a trick: searching for the hotel's breakfast restaurant on Google Maps makes it much easier to locate (I've included a screenshot in my photos).
The hotel is quite new, and the service is truly excellent. My friend had sent a package from Shinjuku to the hotel, and when I checked in, the front desk staff promptly retrieved it for me and even had it delivered to my room along with my luggage. Talk about service!
I booked the most basic twin room, but it was surprisingly spacious. It wasn't on a low floor, and the city view from the window was quite expansive. What's more, the bathroom counter was generously sized – a rare find in Japanese hotels – with plenty of space for all my toiletries and cosmetics. While the room didn't provide skincare like toner or lotion, they did offer two packets of bubble bath, which made for a wonderfully fragrant soak in the evening!
Furthermore, the hotel breakfast was genuinely delicious with a wide array of choices, including a live egg station for freshly prepared dishes. Overall, it felt like a lot of thought and effort went into it. They even provided paper cups in the beverage area so you could take drinks to go – such a thoughtful touch!
Besides the convenient transportation, shopping is also a breeze if you're not looking for luxury brands. There's a Matsumoto Kiyoshi right downstairs, stocked with many popular trending products. Just past the connecting corridor from the hotel, you'll find a Montbell store with a good selection, and importantly, they offer tax refunds! There are also tons of dining options nearby, including a yakiniku restaurant visited by Goro (from *Kodoku no Gurume*), though unfortunately, I couldn't find it. I ended up at a slightly pricier but truly delicious one inside 'Dice' nearby!
I stayed for one night during the summer on July 9th, and the room, including breakfast for two, cost just over ¥1200. While not exactly cheap, it offered significantly better value for money compared to hotels in central Tokyo! What's more, when I checked Trip.com after my trip, I saw that the same room type was ¥300 cheaper on July 12th! That's incredible value! If I ever visit Tokyo again, I fully intend to stay here."
