A very nice quiet location with lovely rooms perfect for any occasion. Me and my partner had a 2-bed room and could both easily sleep in 1 bed. Bathroom is fitted with a bathtub/shower providing hot and cold water. Has elevators, trash bins, TV, Aircon, electric outlets all the usual requirements. It is a self check-in service, the lobby has touch-screen "ipads" for you to check in when you arrive (option to change language) it was a little tricky but make sure you have your QR code when you booked. The rooms are decent and clean, there is a smoking room in the lobby downstairs.

Just a heads up, please avoid if you can. The place doesn't look like the nice pictures the host posted (check out Connor’s review below for pics) and it's a decent 15-20 minutes on foot from Takadanobaba station. It seems like they turned some old school dorm into this spot, and the shared areas like hallways, elevator, and lobby are not well-kept. Once we stepped into the room, there was this gross smell, and we spotted dirty stains on the walls. The sheets and carpet weren't properly cleaned – found some hair. The desk was sticky and not clean. The bathroom was tiny, had a weird smell, and the curtains had weird black dots. Save yourself the trouble – better to find another place.

The room was compact but decent. It had the necessary appliances for a short stay - microwave, mini refrigerator, induction cooker, water pot. It also had a shower and bathtub. The building also has its own coin-operated laundry area. It is located in a residential area and around 10-15 minute walk to the nearest train station which can be challenging if you have luggages in tow, otherwise it’s a good location with good dining spots, shops and a local grocery.

It had everything we needed for a cheap convenient short stay and a perfect base to explore Tokyo! We were quite worried after reading all the bad Google reviews but it just goes to show most people only leave reviews to complain! We had no issues with check in, it was very clean and it had everything we needed. We would come back again! The room even had a secret balcony that we didn’t even notice until the last morning 😂

Steer clear if you plan on booking through Airbnb or something similar. Host never responds to any messages. My wife and I were on the last week of our honeymoon and we arrived at 4pm for check in. First off, check in was difficult and it took 5 of us guests to figure it out in the lobby. Second, the generated code to enter our room didn't work. Had to get a maintenance guy to let us in. Thirdly, the room was disgusting. Kitchenette sink and space were filthy, the bathroom mirror was covered in filth and the bathroom itself smelled of sewage, everything was covered in layers of dust that had not been cleaned in months. We tried messaging the host during the check in issues and received no support. Given that we hadn't heard anything from them over the past 30-45min during check in issues and then accessing our room, we determined no response would come and we needed to find somewhere else to stay immediately. Even if the host had offered another room, we would have been hesitant to take it. This was the only building in Japan we didn't feel safe at and we had traveled between Tokyo, Fuji, Osaka and Kyoto. It looks like it was an old hospital or something and the hallways are littered with old CCTV cameras. To this day (almost three weeks), we still have received no communication besides bot messages asking us for a good rating and telling us about their late check out options. Even Airbnb cannot get a hold of the host because we have been requesting a refund. Of course Airbnb is also being useless and telling us they can't do anything to help.
