Best Places to Stay Near Kaze no Ko Hiroba in Tokyo

I spent five days backpacking in Tokyo and stayed at a B&B run by a Shanghai uncle. It is located in Nerima District, Tokyo, a quiet and comfortable residential area. The surrounding area is quiet, slow-paced, and comfortable. The Shanghai uncle is polite and affable, and he has the same interest as me - collecting. The location of the B&B is a ten-minute walk from the subway station and has direct access to Ikebukuro. There are many restaurants just outside the subway station to meet everyone's dining needs. Considering the environment and transportation, I think it is more suitable for solo travel and backpacking.

Comfortable stay and location is great. Easy access to Shinjuku and several hot spot in Tokyo. Room facilities are very convenient. Recommended ❤️

Before moving to the country, I chose this hotel because the price of the local and kichijoji hotels was high. It was convenient to connect directly to the station. The front desk staff was also nice, the room was clean and I was able to stay in the corner room away from the elevator as I wanted in advance. The bathtub was a little deep, and it was good to take a bathing agent behind the front desk and take a bath slowly. The breakfast of this business hotel is good, and there are many buffet styles of dishes, but it was good to have a breakfast made on the second floor. I want to use it if I have another chance.

When I opened the door, I was stunned: how small. But after checking around, I found that the facilities and equipment are very complete: there are air conditioning, TV, refrigerator, phone, hair dryer, kettle, even microwave oven, induction cooker, even pot, you can simply drop a meal. The garbage needs to be sorted into the garbage bag by yourself, and the next day you can get the trash can in the laundry room on the first floor to throw it away. The wardrobe has hangers, pajamas, and vacuum cleaners. It is not cleaned during the stay. If it is dirty, you can vacuum it yourself. In fact, I stayed for eight days and there was no dust. The bathroom and the bathroom are together. There are shower gel, shampoo, conditioner. The toilet seat is always hot, and there is constant electricity when you go out, which is very good. The sink is separate and has separate lighting. There are mini cabinets above and below, you can put something. And detergent and dishwashing foam, it's not too convenient. There are TV, air conditioning, lights remote control, wiring board, network cable and wifi router on the desk. The password is on the warm reminder sheet given by the waiter when checking in. The most intimate thing is: there is a blue bag with data cable and plug, which is great. The quilt was very thin. I arrived at 7 degrees at night. I was worried about the cold. The result was a duvet, covered with warmth and comfort. The pillow is also very tight duvet, very comfortable. The window may be because of safety considerations, the cockroach can be opened very small, the window glass is embossed, very beautiful. The disadvantage is that the curtains are not blackout cloth. My room is facing the east. I will be awakened by the sun in the morning (the sun is not strong, there is a little bit, after all, there are two layers of curtains). The second disadvantage is that it is too small and there is nothing wrong with it. But I heard from friends that the hotel rooms in the big cities of Japan are small. When I went there, it was the cherry blossom season. Next to the hotel, on the road opposite Musashi University, it was full of century-old cherry trees. The blooming was beautiful. Also encountered the election, the poster of this gentleman, at the entrance of Glaciertai subway station, where he occasionally bowed.

Hotel was easy accessible from Shinjuku station through an underpass. There’s a video from hotel website that shows how to get to hotel using the underpass. There are eateries/restaurants/Lawson/familymart in the hotel. Lobby looks nice and grand. However the room and toilet are kind of old fashioned. Luckily it was still quite clean. The laundry machine for washing and drying were separate. After wash you have to go and manually transferred to dryer :( and you can’t monitor the washing status through tv. 2 other hotels we stayed b4 have this service. The rooms and facilities needed an upgrade. Will not come back again.

Getting there Getting to the hotel from narita airport, you can take the keisei skyliner to change at Nippori at the Yamamote line to change and stop at Takanobaba and change to another train Seibu Shinjuku station. It will be a few minutes walk to the hotel from there. Very convenient. To go back to the airport, book yourself an express bus directly at the lobby entrance (QR code is there) with a screen on the departure timing to various airports so you don’t have to lug your luggage. Stay Luxurious hotel right smack in the middle of all the action, eateries, shopping, etc. I stayed for 7 nights at the premier suite which I believe had one of the best views around this area. Room is spacious for Japanese standards. And the 2 toilets and 2 bath is something we really appreciate. Amenities are all given, and you have everything in the room, including a Marshall Bluetooth speaker. Staff are friendly and eager to help during check in etc. I did not have much chance to interact with them since I also did not book one with breakfast. One tip is the enter the hotel through Starbucks directly downstairs, instead of going one round to enter the lobby. Just cut through Starbucks and go down the stairs immediately and make a left turn to the lobby. Afterthoughts Good and new hotel in an excellent location. Some things will need to be improved, out of the 7 nights, I only request for rooms to be cleared twice. The first time, housekeeping forgot to refill my towels after removing them, forgot to refill our drinking waters and even left a dirty tshirt in my toilet that don’t belong to me. I believe that could be used by them to clean the toilet, else no reasons someone’s dirty tshirt is found and left in my toilet. Should have definitely used a cleaner rag to clean up the toilet. I did not crate a fuss about it but just took the tshirt out of the room since it is a new hotel that just opened for one week and all staff are new too. But this should not happen next time again, especially since this is a suite booking. P/S check out Ichiran 3 mins walk away and the 24 hours Don Quixote too.

The hotel is very cosmopolitan the clienteles are mostly international. The service is excellent and the view is fantastic on a clear Day you can see Mount Fuji. The breakfast buffet is good but he’s too busy for my liking.

It is a hotel next to the big park in Tokyo. The grand piano installed in the lobby can be played by anyone. Since I'm familiar with classical music, there are many guests who stay at concerts and concerts. There is a quiet place near every city, where you can see Mt. Fuji beautiful from rooms and elevator hall. From a room where you can use the banquet on the 22nd floor, west Tokyo can see the Chichibu Mountains. At night, two big hearts are reflected in the window. 東京の大きな公園の隣にあるホテルです。ロビーに設置されたグランドピアノがだれにでも演奏できます。クラシック音楽に精通しコンサートやコンクールの団体様も宿泊をしていていて、美しい街並みを２２階の宴会場から見ることができる。

A very nice hotel, the room view was amazing, with direct access to the monorail station, and connected with a small mall where you can find a Convenience store & other shops

The room and view are great, and the service is worthy of the price. The swimming pool is good, but children are not allowed to swim. The children are a bit disappointed. If you are a parent, you will not choose this place next time. Conrad’s facilities are not as new as Prince Gallery, but it is more child-friendly . This hotel is suitable for couples... it will be very graphic.
