Tokyo Bunkyo Ward Hotels

The value for money here is excellent. At just over 1,000 [currency implied], getting three beds for three people was incredibly cost-effective. The room wasn't large, but it wasn't small either; it was perfectly adequate and standard. The location is superb, with convenient transportation. The parking lot is very large with plenty of spaces, and parking fees are cheap. There are many dining options nearby, and there's even a Lawson convenience store right in the hotel. However, the staff at the self-service check-in counter were rather cold and indifferent. This was a bit off-putting, though it might have been due to the crowd. But when I called the front desk, the service over the phone was excellent. Plus, they even offer buckwheat pillows!

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 front desk staff speaks Chinese. The hotel is very new. Each guest receives a complimentary capsule coffee each day. The room is small but fully furnished, including furniture, appliances, tableware, a washing machine, and a dryer. It's very clean. This was the most comfortable place to stay during my trip to Tokyo. Being able to do laundry and cooking felt very homely. There's a fruit and vegetable shop and convenience store downstairs. It's a five or six minute walk to Montbell, Uniqlo, and Art Sports. Wacoal sports bras are great on the second floor of Art Sports, and the service is excellent.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, only a few hundred meters from Todai (University of Tokyo). Ueno Park is within easy walking distance, and a delightful bonus was seeing the lotus flowers in full bloom during my stay. It's also conveniently close to the subway station, making visits to the National Museum and the National Museum of Western Art very straightforward. The hotel rooms are spacious, and they even provide free laundry facilities and a microwave.

For Tokyo, the room size here was fantastic! It's a one-bedroom suite with a separate living area. The bedroom, about three tatami mats in size, felt just right. Even with a table in the living area, it was easy to move around, creating plenty of extra space. A mini-fridge was also a bonus! I made sure to visit the communal bathhouse and hot spring on the 6th floor almost every day – it was incredibly relaxing! Kimono robes were also provided in the room, and the bathroom featured a convenient wet/dry separation. Overall, the room offered plenty of functional space. The location is conveniently situated between Akihabara and Ueno. The only minor inconvenience was the uphill walk to and from the hotel, which could be a bit tiring, but it was perfect for a post-dinner stroll to digest! Just around the corner on a side street, there's a large supermarket that's great for browsing. Absolutely fantastic! It will definitely be my first choice for future visits!

Overall, the value for money was good. The two rooms were relatively new, elegant, and clean. The bed was comfortable. The shower and toilet were separated, and the water was strong. There was also a small stove (though I didn't think it was very practical), and a balcony for drying clothes. Of course, as is typical with Japanese hotels, this isn't a major drawback; after all, with three pieces of luggage, there was no aisle space. Downstairs, there's a small supermarket run by a local woman that sells everyday local groceries, unlike chain convenience stores—a worthwhile experience. Ikebukuro Station and Otsuka Station are both a 13-minute walk away, which is acceptable. There's also a large, 24-hour SEIYU supermarket, popular with locals, located just down the road. The prices are cheaper than at chain convenience stores. There's also a Seria 100-yen supermarket nearby. The downside is the poor Wi-Fi in the rooms; it barely works for text, and short videos struggle to load. Overall, I highly recommend it.

Hotel uses a room key with a wooden stick as a keychain as opposed to a card like most hotels use. TV was in an awkward position, and the bed is in front of the mirror, which is strange, but otherwise a good hotel for solo travelers looking for a place around Ochanomizu/Akihabara for cheaps.

All the front desk staff were exceptionally good. We particularly appreciated an older gentleman who would proactively greet Chinese guests in Mandarin, which was a truly thoughtful gesture. Several other Japanese staff members, including a young lady, were also incredibly nice and friendly. The room we were assigned had an excellent location. Although the room was a bit small, it offered great value for money, especially considering the breakfast. Overall, highly satisfied! 👍

Absolutly lovely. Extremely clean with all the extra of a nice hotel ( shampo, ustensil, soap, towel…) the room is also quite spacious and the location is really nice with many lovely restaurants and cafe nearby. I notably recomand the park nearby that is really cute.
