Hotel berhampiran VALENTINO di Tokyo

Please note: this review is for South Plaza Luxe King. I decided to upgrade to Luxe King (from Luxe Queen) at the hotel for my 2nd and 3rd night. (trip.com still has my original bookings in the system, so that’s why the room type is different than my review). I previously wrote a review about the Luxe Queen, and I thought that room was great, but, I wanted to see the difference, and as I said in the last review, I always prefer a separate shower. Extra benefits from upgrading… — Separate shower, which I usually try to get. — Wider bed. — More space inside the room, and more storage space. One thing that doesn’t change much is the view. Or at least I don’t think it’s a noticeable change. I think some Luxe Queens can also have the same view (as the Luxe King) depending on their location across the width of the building. The corner room just had a different angle, but views from both rooms were great. I admit that I did see Mount Fuji at one point when it got really clear in the afternoon (on one of the days), but in general, the views are the same from both rooms. Also, maybe it depends what view you want… government building vs urban sprawl. You get both views from both rooms, it’s just that the angle changes. Did I have to upgrade no? But I wanted to try it and see the difference for next time. I believe both the Luxe Queen and Luxe King are excellent, and paying more you really do get some extra benefits. However, the Luxe isn’t cheap to start with, so I guess it depends on your budget. I think the Luxe King room is excellent.

Kira-kira 15 tahun yang lalu, semasa saya di Hotel Narita View, ayah saya menjaga saya setiap minggu kerana kerjanya, dan saya biasa keluar makan. 15 tahun yang lalu, anak perempuan saya mengumpul penutup botol PET di sekolah taska (supaya kanak-kanak di Afrika boleh divaksinasi). Tanpa sempat mengucapkan terima kasih atas kerjasama anda, dan tanpa disedari masa berlalu dan ia menjadi hotel seni, kali ini saya kekal menggunakan sokongan perjalanan. Saya terkeluar dari topik tetapi... Saya membuat tempahan dari tapak pelancongan, jadi saya tidak tahu ia adalah bahagian taman, jadi saya membuat tempahan dengan fikir ia akan lebih baik daripada bangunan utama. Pembersihan dilakukan dengan baik, tetapi anak perempuan saya mempunyai sedikit alahan dan tidak dapat berhenti bersin, jadi mungkin kerana ia sudah tua? Saya fikir. Mandian adalah yang terbaik dan saya dapat dengan selesa memasuki mandian terbuka. Terdapat caj berasingan sebanyak 750 yen, tetapi kerana ia adalah hotel yang besar, saya fikir ia akan menjadi sesak jika ia percuma. Sarapan adalah bufet makanan Jepun dan Barat, tetapi ia sangat lazat dengan pelbagai jenis. Mee sup tantan sangat lazat sehingga saya menambah kacang di sebelah dan ia sangat lazat! Juga, saya mendengar banyak kali orang lain memuji nasi yang lazat. Selain nasi putih, nasi barli juga ada, dan lauknya memang sedap, jadi kami cadangkan pelan yang termasuk sarapan pagi. Kakitangannya sangat menyenangkan dan saya dapat mendaftar masuk dan keluar dengan sangat lancar, dan terdapat bas ulang-alik percuma dari Lapangan Terbang Narita dan juga ke Stesen Narita, jadi saya dapat pergi bersiar-siar di Kuil Naritasan Shinshoji. Minggu berikutnya selepas tinggal di sini, saya menggunakan sokongan perjalanan untuk menggunakan hotel lain yang berdekatan, tetapi mandi dan sarapan adalah lebih baik di hotel ini. Jadi saya berfikir untuk menempah bangunan utama di hotel ini sekali lagi untuk sokongan perjalanan terakhir. Tak sabar nak mandi dan bersarapan lagi. Lobi dihiasi dengan pokok Krismas.

The room is small, and it doesn't have a humidifier. After a long night breathing air from the air conditioner would let us become very dry. The location is very good that is close to Tsujiki and has 2 metro lines.

Saya mencari hotel kerana saya dapat tinggal di Tokyo sedikit. Ia berdekatan dengan stesen Ikebukuro untuk menggunakan No. 1. Terdapat kedai serbaneka dan dotol sebaik sahaja anda berjalan, sehingga anda dapat menyelesaikan makanan ringan. Saya memutuskan untuk membeli pakaian yang mencukupi, jadi saya pergi ke Lumine lagi. Saya lapar pada waktu malam tetapi saya letih, jadi saya menggunakan perkhidmatan bilik Ia sangat sedap. Kemudahan juga dilengkapi dengan baik dan diisi semula dengan betul setiap kali ia dibersihkan. Dan yang paling penting, saya berpuas hati dengan lokasi dan penginapan murah di tempat yang indah. Sekiranya anda tidak tahu apa-apa, kaunter penerimaan tetamu akan bertindak balas selama 24 jam. Saya fikir saya akan menggunakannya lagi.

Although I only stayed for one night, I had some nice chats with some of the people working here. Social hostel with a chill common area/room and bar. From the looks of it also organises nice and social activities, has recommendations for places to go eat and much more! Surely will consider this place again next time I visit Tokyo. Oh and have I mentioned already how central and close it is to the train station? 😄

Very helpful receptionist staff and you can store your luggage if you arrive before the check-in time at 3pm. The room was fairly spacious for Tokyo standards and they also provided a humidifier to help with the dry air caused by the heater. WiFi was easy to connect to and stable. The only negative was black hair I found on the bathroom floor as well as on one of my towels.

It was a great hotel near Kuramae station. The only disadvantage is that Kuramae station has 2 train lines, Asakusa line and Oedo line and only the Oedo line has a lift while the Asakusa line doesn't have a lift, which makes it tougher to bring your luggages up/down. It will be a better option to travel by car/taxi there (especially if you have a lot of luggages). And make sure to check any special holidays in Japan because on the day we checked out, there was the summer fireworks event which barricade the roads and certain train station exits to be blocked. We almost missed our flight due to the event so please check in advance! But other than that, the hotel was lovely, I found our room was decent size to open 2 big luggages. The toilet was a bit small but it's good enough. (picture of the outside of the hotel during the summer fireworks)

Located in a residential area. 10 minutes to the JR line. Comparing to the ultra-small hotel room in central Tokyo, the one lies on the large side of the spectrum!

Hotel staff is friendly and can speak english. The room is sizeable for 2 persons. There is a water dispenser on the floor which we stayed on. The hotel also dedicated a shelf at the reception stocked with necessities (eg. Shaver, shaving cream, cotton buds, even basic make up) which you can take. There is also a coffee machine, orange juice and water dispenser at the reception. Best part about the hotel is the location. It is very close to Ginza Station (just a short 5mins walk) and just next to the main shopping belt of Ginza with the luxury and other big brands. There is also a Family Mart and Lawson nearby, as well as a cafe downstairs and Starbucks near the hotel. Downside is the toilet looks a little old. But we are not fussy about it as it is clean enough, and for the affordable price paid, the hotel is a great find!

ディズニー後のチェックインで、受付も忙しい中、丁寧にコミュニケーション頂けました。 飲み放題も種類豊富で、親子揃って満足でした。 強いて言えば、ハイボールと記載があるが、炭酸が見つからなかったので、炭酸もあればベストですね。 部屋は、綺麗で整っています。 シャワーの水圧も十分ですが、部屋によってはドライヤーがかなり弱いところもありそうです。 冷蔵庫もしっかり冷えます。 次回もお世話になろうと思います。
