Good location with some minute walk from JR station (Waseda exit), good breakfast especially for people who eat sashimi.
Close to Donki but… there’s nothing much here in this branch.. so small. Recommend to buy cosmetics and snack/souvenir from others instead.
(I do change all table layout in order to have more space & put large luggage 29” easily.
Air conditioning is great! Not central control but you need to translate which feature is heating or cooling
Response from Property: Thank you for staying at our hotel and for your review.
Thank you also for your compliments on our breakfast.
As for the air conditioner, there is a QR code in your room so that anyone can operate the air conditioner without any trouble.

Great location just 2 mins from Takadanobaba Station with 24/7 Donki, Family Mart, and 7-Eleven nearby. Clean rooms with daily towels, compact but typical for Japan. There was even a microwave and air purifier in the room. Everything was super convenient. Amazing Japanese buffet breakfast with sashimi and ikura. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the hotel offered great amenities: lockers for luggage before check-in and after check-out, free drinking water stations, free laundry, and a wide selection of personal care items like toothbrushes, face masks, and bath salts.
Response from Property: This time, thank you for staying at our hotel from some hotels.

Pros: 1) Location is good, metro station is just 3 minutes away and basically the entrance is at the hotel B1. Shinjuku Line and Yamanote line can take you to most of the major spots. 2) Breakfast is amazing, japanese style breakfast definitely will make you feel different than as a foreigner. 3) There is a 7-11 just across the street and quite a few numbers of eateries nearby and also ***** stores.
Cons: 1) Room size is typically Japanese room size if you choose the standard room. 2) Not as happening surrounding as it’s considered outskirts of Shinjuku, plenty of university students walk around so not as touristy. 3) If you need room cleaning service you have to inform the front desk daily if not they will only provide you fresh towel daily.
Response from Property: Thank you very much for using our hotel. We also appreciate your feedback. We will be more thorough in our inspections and checks after cleaning in the future. Based on the feedback we received this time, we will continue to strive to improve our service. We hope you will consider staying with us again if you have the opportunity.

The staff provided excellent service. The room was small but clean. Amenities like toothpaste, toothbrushes, shower caps, etc were available in front the front desk. No bottled water was provided, but you could refill water on the 4th floor if you had a bottle. The hotel is very close to Takadanobaba Station, making it a great location.

I recently stayed at Vessel Inn Takadanobaba in Tokyo and had a pleasant experience. While it took a long journey from the airport to reach the hotel, the location made up for it as it was conveniently near Takadanobaba Station, providing easy access to different parts of Tokyo.
The room was clean, well-maintained, and slightly more spacious than typical Tokyo hotels. The bed was comfortable, and amenities such as free drinks in the lounge and a well-equipped bathroom added to the comfort.
One of the highlights was the convenience of having a OK Mart and several other convenience stores nearby, making it easy to grab snacks, drinks, or daily necessities. The area also had plenty of restaurants and local eateries, perfect for trying different Japanese dishes.
The staff were polite and efficient, and check-in/check-out was smooth.
Overall, Vessel Inn Takadanobaba is a great choice for travelers who want an accessible and comfortable stay, with plenty of conveniences nearby. Just be prepared for a longer commute from the airport.
Response from Property: Thank you very much for your stay at our hotel.
We are grateful for receiving a valuable evaluation.
Thank you very much for appreciating our staff. We will also tell those who responded on the day and encourage the maintenance and improvement of daily service.
We look forward to seeing you soon on your next visit.

The location is great. The hotel is near JR and metro, easy to access to other tourist spots. The room is bigger compared to the others in Tokyo. Everything is good only feel the room is not bright enough.

Can't beat this location right on the corner just above Takadanobaba subway station. Plenty of restaurants, shops, and cafes in the neighbourhood while also extremely accessible to Shinjuku and other main spots of Tokyo.

We will continue to pursue aiming for hotels that will be selected by many customers in the future.
