Hotel Resol Akihabara

Overall a pleasant stay, good location that less than 10mins walk from Akihabara station. Only thing to mention is a super small room that very hard to open up the luggage.

The hotel location is great, served by multiple train lines which are all within walking distance. The room itself is just about comfortable for a solo traveller, though it may be a bit tight depending on the size of your luggage. Check in was good. There is a fee to pay if you wish to check in/out earlier/later - this option is something I appreciated. Staff are friendly! The room design has that modern industrial vibe, although it’s small it has just about the amenities you would need. My mistake was not checking whether there was an in-room safe so I had to lock my valuables in the luggage instead. At the reception floor, there is an amenities corner which you can take as you need which I like. You can even loan items such as digital scale, or nail clipper for free. They have a microwave oven, disposable cutleries. Overall, very happy with my stay. Highly recommend if you are travelling alone or light.

Unimpressed by the size of the room - you would have to walk sideways inside the room otherwise you couldn’t even move an inch; and as one could imagine the luggage couldn’t be fully opened. The shampoo quality was concerning. It made my skin so, so itchy that I had to purchase shampoo for myself before returning to the hotel the other night. 2 bottles of water were provided every day, but you would be charged for requesting more than that. Bed and pillows: average.
