Cari Hotel 2-Star di Tokyo

Having had a great experience my last stay, I decided to extend my stay at akihabara bay hotel, as a solo female traveller... however this stay was extremely horrible as they placed me on the fourth floor near the toilet this wasnt the problem, but that they had a faulty toilet seat that people tended to slam, as well as slamming the toilet doors... this made sleep near to impossible and only made me look forward to leaving... unless they fix this issue, you should request for anything but the fourth floor...

I liked this place. A pretty standard classic capsule hotel: sizeable capsule with a console, daily turnover service, large shower and onsen room with an attached steam room. Service was good: they have an army of twinks working there after hours, it was like being checked in by BTS. All issues I had with my capsule (broken lightbulb) were addressed quickly and cheerfully. Sometimes it kinda seemed like they were laughing at a few of the foreign guests, but you know what, fair. This place is kinda rules heavy, with lots of notices posted around the property. There is no eating or drinking in the capsules, and instead you have to go to this common area that feels a bit like a hospice for abandoned uncles. Vending machines, manga library, smoking cubicles, that sorta thing. Clean and tidy though, equal numbers of dudes using it for remote working and day drinking (I have a feeling that some ppl live in this place). They have the usual elaborate system of lockers and keys, but they will store your luggage for you while you are out. No need to check out in the day. Overall a chill experience. While I was staying there though some dude did have a mini breakdown about what he saw as it's shortcomings, so I just wanted to comment on that. According to him the place was disgusting. He was especially perturbed by the housekeeping service and the showers. His claim was the the toilets were dirty and that it was unacceptable to fold bedsheets on the floor. Mind you, he was having this rant at 10:30 - checkout is at 10:00, meaning that a whole stampede of airport-bound weebs had just taken spicy ramen fuelled power dumps so they could get out of there on time. Most of the day the facilities were pretty spotless in my opinion. In regards to folding the bedsheets on the floor, I dunno what in the Disney princess he was expecting, but there really isn't anywhere else to do it. I think it's unreasonable to expect little doves to come fly your linens into your capsule tbh. The capsules are literally on... the floor! What do you want? His overall complaint that the space was generally messy was a lot more valid. At this point I had a suspicion that they kind of segregated foreigners from Japanese customers. It's true, that the foreign floor was a bit of a tip - luggage thrown around, empty bottles everywhere, garbage. I went up to the Japanese floors to snoop around a bit. Spotless. (Pictures of both included for comparison) In this case I think the call is coming from inside the capsule, not really fair to hold the staff accountable to your own messy manners. His final gripe was about the showers - specifically the lack of private cubicles. Private cubicles were not advertised anywhere and Japanese onsens are pretty standardly communal spaces, so again I dunno what he wanted. Maybe a shower, with a curtain? Maybe a shower with a door? Maybe a shower with a psychic forcefield that would make his ex girlfriends forget his underwhelming junk and prevent his father from behind disappointed in him? I'm not sure. But I guess the dozen shower stations with soap, shampoo, and face wash weren't cutting it. In fact a lot of the Western guests seemed pretty pranged out by the shower situation, waiting until like two am to wash up and then scurrying around the baths with a hand towel infront of their package like a little purse. If you regret going bald, that's on you. Kinda silly, but if you are bashful maybe this also isn't the hotel for you. Unreasonable though to blame the establishment for you own shame. Anyway, that's all to say the worst part of my stay was for sure the ranting and raving from an unshowered backpacker while I was trying to have a lie in. Otherwise a pretty decent stay.

Kami tinggal bersama dalam bilik triple. Terdapat banyak ruang! Bilik itu ternyata lebih baik dalam kehidupan sebenar daripada dalam foto. Bilik itu mempunyai peti sejuk, penyejuk mini, meja, sofa dan TV kecil. Pemandangan yang baik dari tingkap rumah bertentangan. Bilik itu hangat. Tandas kongsi tidak menyebabkan sebarang masalah. Bilik mandi berkongsi adalah lebih sukar. Saya tidak biasa dengan mandi jenis ini. Terdapat kawasan merokok di tangga. Kami tidak merokok, jadi kami gembira kerana bilik kami jauh dari pintu keluar ke tangga. Selepas 22:30 lif tidak berfungsi, tetapi menaiki tangga tidak menyebabkan sebarang masalah. Kakitangan yang mesra! Secara keseluruhan, semuanya baik, kami berpuas hati, terima kasih kepada hotel ini.

My 4th time staying here, finally remembered to take some pics. 😅 This place is superb as usual.👍 Very convenient and many great places to chill nearby! 😁

It was alright, staff were friendly and helpful, beds were extremely comfortable. However, it was a bit awkward to find a space to charge my devices — the ports are not obvious and there are very few. Breakfast is included although it is just simple soup of the day and toast, with free coffee and a vast variety of teas.

5 stars for friendly personnel, and a nice check-in gifts. And 3 stars due to the fact that you have to give away your key to reception staff when exit the hotel, also because the hotel is strictly closed from 1 am at night till morning without letting tenants inside. Overall, fine price for its value in a good location.

Great stay for family. Traditional room with 6 tatami. Including kitchen and private toilet. Smart TV with wifi. Near to Shin-Okubo Station. Near to halal food and groceries. Very clean as we have to keep our shoes in the locker at lobby before enter hotel. There is elevator. Coin laundry across the street. Gonna stay here if we repeat tokyo.

I wrote a longer review of this place that covers the basics. After I ended a business trip I decided to stay on in Tokyo so just rebooked at this spot on the app. It seems like the staff here run bookings mostly with a hand written ledger --- when I mentioned to them I was staying longer they just made a note of it and then left me a message when it was confirmed, very chill. Overall the staff at this place were pretty great. I was there for two weeks and in the time I was there I saw maybe like ten different people working there. As an English speaker, sometimes there was a language barrier, but it was never really a problem, and there is clear signage about all of the most important policies all over the place in English, Korean, and Chinese. It was always a friendly experience, most of the ppl working there were older with a kind of caring auntie vibe, so that was fun. At one point I asked to move bunks because a guy on my floor was super sick, and they arranged it with no hassle or fuss, which I really appreciated. Would definitely recommend this place for the staff.

Well, you get what you paid. I don’t usually write bad reviews so I’m a bit afraid. But if the owner have fixed all the problems I experienced then they can reply and new customer can make better informed decision I guess. There are no lock. So if you are a female traveler that hope to be safe in a female only room, don’t! It’s just a silly clear plastic door that separate the female room from the kitchen. And make the matter worse, the main door was not lock as well….I hope they fix the lock soon. They chose convenient over safety at the moment. Any stranger can barge in. They have nice kitchen area. There is one toilet and one bathroom, the toilet is clean. During my stay the guest that already there are very loud even though it’s after 11pm. I think they should stress the rule about noise at late night more. The location is convenient but it’s in the pub area. And next building is karaoke room. They sang until 5 am. Well, not all have a problem with noise during sleep. So pick your choice. The bed area in female dormitory is clean. But in terms of privacy and tidiness, no. They should really tidy up the window next to bed No.6 it looks like a refugee camp from what I saw. I didn’t assume all people there are long term stay but I don’t know 🤷♀️ The curtain was put on badly for the upper bed next to window, and it happened to be my bed. I have less privacy than the below bed and bed was made out of cheap metal so they move when the other move, which is fine for me but keep that in mine before you go. What worst in the bed area is the people that’s already there before me. They have the audacity to open my curtain and peek at me. I think the price attract weird people with no manners (maybe I have no manners too?) 🤷♀️ Any how, what I want to say is: Perfect area for shopping and find food and very close to the station. Good kitchen. Clean toilet. ⚠️No lock, unsafe. No privacy because poor bunk bed curtains. 🤑And you might be able to find a better hotel with your own tiny room with roughly same price the next day. So good luck!

생각보다 컨디션도 좋고 아사쿠사 가기도 편하고 지하철도 도보 5분 안 쪽으로 갈 수 있어요. 주변에도 맛집도 많고 편의점도 로손, 패밀리마트, 세븐일레븐이 5분 안으로 주변에 있습니다. 일단 개인욕실은 방 안에 있진 않습니다. 밖에 있습니다. 2층을 사용했고 201호 202호 였습니다. 방 2개면 밖에 화장실 두개 욕실이 2개로 그걸 호실 전용으로 쓰는 겁니다. 사진이 없어서 욕실 사진만 올리겠습니다. 각 따로따로 되어있어서 좋았습니다. 단점은 딱히 없는데 주인아주머니가 약간 깐깐 정도 불 친절하진 않았습니다. 그래도 잘 묵었습니다. 3박4일동안 그리고 한가지 12시가 지나면 문이 잠겨요!!! 이 점 참고하세요! 다들 즐거운 일본여행 하세오😆
