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.

The hotel's location is super convenient, just a 5-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station. There's a 7-Eleven right across the street, and a McDonald's and FamilyMart just a bit further down. You'll also find electronics stores nearby. All in all, the area is very lively and bustling.

The hotel itself is quiet. However, it's a shame that wherever there are Chinese guests, there seems to be noise. The three Chinese guests in the adjacent room talked loudly every night until past 2 AM. The soundproofing was actually quite decent; they were just incredibly loud!

I highly recommend this hotel. They offer complimentary desserts every afternoon, which is a very thoughtful touch.

The room was bigger than I expected, though the toilet seat wasn't properly cleaned. Rather than making a fuss, I just disinfected and wiped it myself. Aside from that, everything else about the stay was perfect. Its location is incredibly convenient, being super close to the subway station – it's an absolute steal, especially when using a 1-day pass. You'll find food options and a convenience store right downstairs, and it's served by two different subway lines nearby. Getting around was completely stress-free.

The room although small but it's functional.the staff are helpful despite the language barrier including helping to store some of the things that my other fellow travellers wanted to pass to me.

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.

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.

Very strategic hotel near hachioji train station. around hotel have many konbini and restaurants.

The main advantage is the location, right by Asakusa Temple subway station. It's about a 10-minute walk to Senso-ji Temple, and you'll find a 7-Eleven, a drugstore, and many restaurants right outside.

Unlike other hotels that usually provide complimentary bottled water in the room, this one only has a water dispenser and coffee machine downstairs. We found no water in the room, so we had to buy our own, which was a bit disappointing upon check-in.

Service and cleanliness were perfectly fine; no red flags there.

Lastly, rooms in Tokyo, especially at this price point, are notoriously small. I suppose this is just a common characteristic. 🙄

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.

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.

Extremely satisfied; it far exceeded my expectations. The price for my stay was also very reasonable. I'm used to Japanese hotel rooms being on the smaller side, so it being quiet and clean was a big plus. They also offer luggage storage. The location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk from Hakata Station. This makes it convenient for getting anywhere, and you won't have to worry about finding places to eat, drink, or shop. There are convenience stores all around the hotel, and a Matsuya right next door, perfect for a quick and simple meal. Next time I'm in Fukuoka, I would definitely consider staying here again.
