Tokio hotellit Bunkyo

Plussat: The service for the hotel staff exceeded my expectations, they went out of their way to make sure I got to enjoy the facilities.

Miinukset: It would have been nice to know I needed to book breakfast in advance.

Plussat: Fabulous location! Close to the JR / Tokyo Metro and plenty of eateries nearby. Room is a good size and was comfortable.

Miinukset: Our initial room allocated to us was a smoking room which had that tobacco smell that you can't get rid of even with the AC on. Went back down to the reception and requested a non-smoking room which they allocated to us. This wouldn't had been an issue if the receptionist had asked us beforehand when we first checked-in.

Plussat: Access to everything

Miinukset: No laundry facilities nearby

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: lacks basic gym and pool

Plussat: * 4-minute walk to JR Suidobashi Station and Subway Toei Mita Line Suidobashi Station. * Connected to Tokyo Dome, Tokyo Dome City theme park and LaQua Shopping Area. * A 24/7 Don Quixote store is just in 5-minute walking distance. * Bus from/to Haneda and Narita Airports available (reservation needed). * Clean room and heavily equipped with toiletries.

Miinukset: * Vicinity can get extremely crowded if there is a concert or baseball match held in Tokyo Dome. * Fairly expensive.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Convenient location. It has direct bus access from the airport and is located next to the Suidobashi station, which connects directly to Shinjuku, Akihabara and Asakusa along the Chuo Line. There’s also an amusement park and large shopping mall next to the hotel.

Miinukset: Room and bed were smaller than it looked in the picture. The bed for a double room is equivalent or smaller than a queen sized bed. In the end, we paid almost double to upgrade to a room with bigger bed.

Plussat: Staff was extremely courteous.

Plussat: We liked everything about this place. Clean rooms, spacious, great location, friendly staff. Thank you.

Plussat: For value and room size, this hotel is the best in Tokyo of the five hotels that I've stayed in during any of my trips to Japan (2). It is right off of two subway (Suidobashi, Korakuen stns) and JR east stations and relatively close access to a third (Kasuga Stn). Note that at least Suidobashi and Korakuen Stn have elevators for those traveling with luggage. Tokyo Dome City / Meet Port provide many dining and shopping options. There is also a so-so amusement park suitable for children. I will continue to book stays at this hotel whenever I am in Tokyo.

Miinukset: Central location in Bunkyo is away from the JR circle loop and requires some travel upon arrival at Tokyo Stn via Narita Expresses. I wasn't aware of the ease of connection from Tokyo station nor of the presence of elevators at Suidobashi stn when I first arrived, so arriving with luggage was a bit of a chore. When the Tokyo Giants are playing at home, this hotel fills up fast. Extra charge for early check-in (before 1600/400pm)

Plussat: The place was walking distance from all the sites we wanted to get to (i.e. Korakuen Hall, Tokyo Dome, La Qua, among others)

Miinukset: Staff manners (especially in the Concierge area) needs to improve as they were impolite.

Plussat: Consistent, i've stayed here multiple times.

Plussat: Personal was very friendly. Our room smells and it was switched to other room without problem. Also you can use clean towels. Neighborhood was nice, quit touristy but it was ok!

Miinukset: Shower was not dirty but can be just cleaner.

Plussat: The beds were comfortable by futon standards, the staff was nice, and everything was clean and easily accessible.

Miinukset: The rooms were a bit small.

Plussat: Nothing impressive.

Miinukset: Breakfast was very limited dishes. It's needed to be improved. They can charge more money for breakfast.

Plussat: 15 min. walk from Nippori Station, you walk through a commercial street where you find awesome street food and souvenirs. Multiple little temples around, take a walk and you will find awesome photo opportunities. Reception and Cafe open 24h. Multiple tradicional restaurants around.

Miinukset: There was only 3 toasters at breakfast time, so it took a lot of time to toast the bread.

Plussat: This place is good for budget conscious travelers. Bathrooms are shared, so please don't be scandalous

Plussat: Halpa

Miinukset: Hotelli oli erittäin minimalistisesti sisustettu ja halpuus näkyi kaikessa. Tämä ei ollut mielestäni Hotelli vaan hostelli.

Plussat: Location is good, 7 mins walk from the station. It is clean, a balcony is available. Restaurant is available on site. Showers are clean. Staff is very helpful.

Miinukset: The price for food is a bit high for what they offer, but it's still good and can save you time if you arrive late. There is a smell in the room, I think it was from the bamboo, this might affect your sleep if you are not used to it.

Plussat: Friendly staff Good lounging/dining area

Miinukset: The room had just the very basic, not unexpectedly for the price

Plussat: The flowing soma event was really cool and the Personal was very nice.

Miinukset: Maybe not that much space for people AND the luggage. Otherwise everything was nice .

Plussat: Friendly staff and safe to stay in

Plussat: A good size room and close to Ochanomizu station. Easy to get.

Miinukset: I could not control room temperature. At least I could not find a thermostat.

Plussat: Rverythngv

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very clean, the toilet/shower were good.

Miinukset: Poor wifi, almost no English is spoken by staff, horrible AC (the room was like a dry sauna), no iron available (quite basic). Details: Late October, we had 2 nights booked for us by the organization that invited me, and had some issues with that, which the manager solved eventually, but was possible only due to my girlfriend that can speak Japanese. Otherwise, they barely speak English. We then got into the room which was hot and dry, AC is only heating, and you cannot open the window! only on the second day, we found a solution, someone suggested to unlock the window (only staff can open the window). I was speaking at a university the next day, and wanted to use an iron after taking my formal clothes out of my luggage. It's quite basic, and it's the first time I encounter an accommodation (hotel/hostel/B&B/Airbnb) that doesn't have an iron for the guests! I tried to find a solution, asking maybe the cleaning ladies have an iron but received a laugh at the front desk. Eventually, I found a solution outside the hotel, which was very inconvenient. The wifi was so weak and slow, that you can't really use it for work (sending out emails). The desk was also built in an uncomfortable way... Maybe all these are fine and normal for Japanese businessmen, but very different from my expectations.

Plussat: The hotel was quiet.

Miinukset: Patchy Internet connection was frustrating. Room was too warm at times.

Plussat: Not any

Miinukset: Morning breakfast is not quite good as the price of breakfast is not suffcient for japanese Yen payed to these item.

Plussat: Very high standards of customer service made us feel really welcome

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Bed is big for a single person. Location easily accessable.

Miinukset: A room was too small!!!!!!!!!

Plussat: clean friendly staff good price

Miinukset: too much smell of smoking in the room. we have smoking room, but smell is so strong when we came to room

Plussat: The bed was very soft and comfortable, the TV was huge and overall I felt like I could relax after a long day of walking in the summer heat. They also had an ice machine which I rarely see in Japanese hotels. The staff were polite and helpful and spoke English. A Family Mart and 2 ramen shops are close by.

Miinukset: Only 1 washing machine and dryer for the entire building. The location is a bit far from Ochanomizu station it says about a 8-10 minute walk but with luggage/traffic/crowds it can easily turn into 20 minutes. Which can be brutal in the Tokyo summer heat. Luckily you can ask the staff to call a taxi. If you don't mind walking a lot then this isn't the worst location.

Plussat: Good location. Good breakfast. Nice staff.

Miinukset: The room was too small. Especially if you are a couple, you may not have room to walk around. There was just a small opening as a window and you couldn't open it. So the ventilation was poor.

Plussat: Stuff are very nice and helpful. This is a small hotel but very clean and well organized. They got everything needed and more. It's a 3 star hotel but they operate like a 5 star.

Plussat: I loved the variety of items they give you in the bathroom and how the TV is larger than most hotels I've been to so far. The room also has been the cleanest. Very professional hotel.

Miinukset: Room was very small and the pillows were too thin. The air conditioning was also quite bad as we sweat while we slept for most of the days even when it was on high. Internet connection also wasn't the best.

Plussat: Great location, comfortable bed, lovely room, and friendly staff

Miinukset: Pillows were too flat.

Plussat: The location was perfect for exploring Akihabara. The yukatas provided were very comfortable. English channel (BBC) on TV. Family Mart with ATM (almost) next door.

Miinukset: The layout of the room. The space between the bathroom and the window was the only place for our luggage but it was a long narrow shape so hard to access our suitcases.

Plussat: Huoneessa hyvä ilmanvaihto. Alakerrassa (ala-aulan lähellä) edullinen kolikoilla toimiva pesukone ja kuivausrumpu. Henkilökunta äärimmäisen kohteliasta ja pientä lisämaksua vastaan voi tehdä aikaisen sisään kirjauksen hotelliin!

Miinukset: Aamupalalla ei ollut kuin 2 vaihtoehtoa: valmiiksi kootut varsin vaatimattomat annokset joko länsimaalaiseen tyyliin tai perinteisempi japanilainen aamiainen. No tämän ei ole ongelma siinä mielessä, että hotellin läheisyydessä erinomaisia ja edullisia ravintoloita!
