Hotels near Former Honimbo Residence, Tokyo

Location: Excellent. Not in a busy area but surprisingly in a residential neighborhood with a few single family stand alone houses and a few apartments. They were actually finishing a 5-6 story apartment building across the street but the window insulation was so good that I couldn't hear anything. Oh, and there was a temple next door but no traffic to it that I could see. It's an under 5 minute to 2 subway station entrances and there are lots of convenience stores and small restaurants within a block or two. You can just eat there or take the subway to anywhere else so the location is really good. Quiet: There are only 2 units per floor. It was relatively quiet. We couldn't hear anyone else through the windows or floors but we could occasionally hear people in the stairwell because it was concrete and echoed. Only one negative thing happened was that on the last day the HVAC unit above the bed started ticking loudly and there wasn't anything I could do about it so I had to put in ear plugs to sleep. Amenities: They had a washer/dryer, two stove hot plate, utensils and plates, microwave and fridge. Pretty much everything you needed if you wanted to cook instead of eating out and Life Supermarket was a short 10 minute walk away. The toilet and shower/sink were in different rooms so you had to get out and then in the other room to wash after you pooped but then two people could use the facilities separately. The toilet had a slight sewage smell but we noticed that in another hotel we stayed at as well. Not sure if it's a Japan thing. And occasionally you would get a sniff of sewage as well walking past manholes in the street too. Rooms: We got basically a 2 bedroom suite though the bedrooms only had sliding Japanese doors that didn't keep out the light or noise. But it was good enough. I didn't have any problems with myself or others eating outside while I was sleeping. The main dining table was a generous bench with bench seats on both sides. There was also a tatami area which we used to put our open luggage on as an open closet area. There was also a balcony we never used. Overall, most of the space was very usable. It's one of the best hotel spaces I've used in the last 10 years. And everything was clean and fairly new. I would 100% recommend this place. And the staff were very nice and friendly, the best that I've ever met in my life.

Anyway, the location is good. It is good to be able to start anywhere in Tokyo and close to the station. Also, because it is an apartment type, there are few people who are buzzing in the corridor, and there are many convenience stores and super fast food restaurants around, so it is not troublesome for short or long term. The room is also well equipped, and it is the best to have a range first. It is important that there is a range early in the Vijiho. The cleaning is not good, and the desk and floor are a bit dirty. The humidifier of the air cleaner is not available in black mold. And the bath towel was a little moldy. Because the invisible part was a bit cluttered, the location is good and the facilities are good I think it would be better if I cleaned the cleaning firmly to keep the clean state.

The staff was very polite and helpful. Although the location is bit far from JR station. But overall quality and performance were great. So, I highly recommend this hotel!

Hotel was centrally located, if you want to be in the asakusa, ueno, akihabara areas, very near subway, 3-5 mins walk, close to temples, restaurants and shopping in asakusa, hotel rooms were small which is a standard when in japan, but was clean and came with toiletries, they have luggage storage too and a lift, and view of the sky tree in some rooms, only con is the staff, not friendly or helpful, and they do not greet guests upon arrival, specially the lady at reception on morning shift, overall would stay here again when in tokyo.

If you arrive in the morning, you can leave your luggage for safekeeping at the reception. Check-in in Japan is possible after 3pm, neat room (room 615) (simple but equipped with all comforts), good bed with various pillows, and a standard shower cabin that is fine. Helpful staff. Breakfast is included and you can choose in advance which set you want and at what time. The hotel is located one block from the main street, which has the great advantage of being quieter. Nearby are several restaurants and kombini shops. Within walking distance of the train station, and close to the beautiful Ueno park (with museum etc) and the well known Akihabara district. On a next visit, I would definitely come back here. A good value for money.

Great hotel, convenient location. Staff are super friendly and speak English. Two options for breakfast, Japanese style or buffet. There is a Lawson in the hotel. You can send your bag to the next hotel and charge it to your room.

Hotel is not difficult to find but it’s not near train station. The area here is a bit messy with tons of human traffic like tourists and locals. I don’t like the environment here as the crowd at night here seems a bit rowdy with many locals round n old here looking for drinks and entertainment. Early in the morning, like 7am, you will see drunk people stumbling out of clubs, vomiting and even pee on the streets! Yes it’s that messy. Overall I won’t stay here again. Too crowded but young people may like the place for its variety of food n drinks places. Hotel staff is friendly n room is decent size not too small.

Our first time stay here but we really liked our stay! -service : Hotel stuffs are all nice and friendly and trying to be helpful! -room: it’s quite small but I like that there are one work desk and another small desk which was very convenient as we are 2 of us. Lovely view from our room with Mount Fuji view in the morning if weather is well. -location: very good location, it’s just by the Shinagawa station and about 5mins walk. There are a lot of restaurants and shops around so no need to go to other place to eat! And many good food around! We will come back again!

Only 10 minutes walk from Ikebukuro Station (Exit North/W) along the way there are several shops including konbinis like Lawson and Family Mart.. there's also an AEON supermarket right next door! Love that this quiet neighborhood has so many facilities next to each other. Infront of the property there's a halal Pakistani Restaurant which adds a bonus for any traveller staying there. Also, the onsen within the property was what attracted me in the first place, Japan isn't Japan w/o a trip to an onsen and having one downstairs in the hotel is a convenient relief after a long day of sightseeing around Tokyo! Will definetly return for future stays!

9mins walk from Shinjuku JR Station The untold story about this hotel is the plentiful of restaurants and convenience store accessible within the building all hours of the day. There’s a 24hr ramen spot. Late night izakaya places Multiple other sushi and western restaurants to choose from not to mention both Family Mart and Lawsons to cover your daily needs Also luggage storage room with locks if you arrive early or have late flight
