The best location

Stayed in August 2025

The air is incredibly wet inside the room, and even tho there is an air purifier and an AC, I could still not find any confirtable temperature to live in. AC on is too cold, AC off is unbreathable, so sleep was pretty unconfortable because of that.

We loved the location, Shibamata is a unique neighbourhood, friendly, quiet and a must visit. It is also a 1 minute walk to the train station and several shops. Very convenient. The place was clean and easy to access and check in to. Matresses are confortable even though the space is tiny, it’s good fir a couple days.

The toilet wasn't cleaned properly when I arrived. The room was relatively small, which was a relief since I was there by myself. You only get one futon per person. Since I was by myself, I got two, and I could still feel the floor underneath me.

Although five steps away from the train station, it's surprisingly not a noisy area at all. The location gives a traditional look to Japan's culture. Also extremely close to a lawson for some late-night snacks. The check-in system was easy, and they have a lock for your suitcase if you arrive early and want to leave it there. I had no issues with the microwave and kettle.

The beds were not very comfortable and the common area was very hot.

The location and price were great.

There was a rat in the communal kitchen and staff did not even apologize, there was also hair in the bathroom.

The equipment was okay, close to train station and a peaceful surrounding.

It was pretty cramped- but you get what you pay for. No staff to check you in which adds both some convenience and frustration, but they were pretty good at responding to messages and questions over the app

Right next to the station- it was a cool Japanese experience with a tatami mat and futon

The stay was overall quite good. The hotel is located in a nice, quiet area, which I really appreciated. Check-in and check-out were super easy and straightforward. There were various amenities available downstairs, which added to the convenience. The room was very small, and the futons were a bit thin, but it was still a comfortable enough stay. Nothing fancy, but definitely okay!

Great location, good amenities

Once I figured out the mini split and the hot water heater everything was fine.

Great access to train station, super easy to find. Check in on the iPad was easy, and my room was well equipped. The public area has water (hot and cold) and a microwave which was good for jet lagged guests needing 2 am cup noodles from the 24 hour Lawson next door. The town was charming, and great food was everywhere. Also the WiFi was great at the lodging.

It’s a little far from city center, the commute took us around 40 minutes to one side.

Easy, close to station, very clean

There was no handwashing soap in the dispenser. I read about finding hair from previous occupants in the other reviews, and I did find some hair in the tatami. It also had a regular toilet, no bidet.

It's in a historic part right next to the train station. Lots of places to eat, conbini, street stalls and a temple nearby. Check in process is straightforward, barely saw any staff since it seemed like a self-manned place. You had to leave luggage below since the rooms are small.

Could not open the window to get some fresh air.

WE didn't have any breakfast. We didn't know it was offered. The free tea was nice but the free instant coffee was 'weird'.

Our hotel room is at the second floor, the stairway is very steep and narrow, so carrying our heavy luggage up is a pain in the ass. My wife complained that the bed is smelly and uncomfortable, and making her body itchy.

Strategic location, the train station is just right in front of the hotel. Plenty of food nearby the hotel. Bathroom is inside the room. Tatami room just nice for 2 person

We had a great stay here. The location is in a really nice neighbourhood and right by the station to travel into Tokyo. The room was small but that was expected so it was fine.

There was nothing that we didn't like, but ideally it would be a little more spacious. We had enough room, as we were two persons in a room that was labelled Triple. However, this we totally understood, on our last night of 21 in Japan.

Location was excellent, ideal for travelling to or from Tokyo/Japan, as it is situated merely metres from the local train line. Yet the trains cannot be heard. It is situated in a beautifully quiet and very friendly neighbourhood, with shops and restaurants close-by. We Both Loved It.

The space felt a little small at first but I also brought extra luggage which is my responsibility to handle and I managed to find a way to sort my items to fit the room comfortably after the first night.

I really liked how close it was to the station just around the corner for all my Tokyo travel needs! Also having Family Mart, 7-Eleven & Lawson all within walking distance is very nice with the abundance of vending machines nearby.

Small clean room with attached bathroom. 1 min walk to the station and this quiet surrounding have minimarts and local restaurants just next to the property. We had a good sleep for the 3 nights stay. Good.

Quiet suburb and neighborhood.

Directions to the property could be a little clearer, especially from Narita airport. Instead plot the directions to Keisei-Takasago Station, then take the local train 1 spot (about 150¥) to the Shibamata Station. This will save you about 20mins of walking with luggage. All trips to areas like Ginza/Ueno/Chiba/etc can be done in reverse by walking 1 min to the Shibamata station for 1 station, then transferring Keisei-Takasago which is a decent sized metro hub. Do not bother with taking the local bus as it is slower and costs more. The property and the rooms are well laid out. But their standard room will be tight fit for 2 people and 2 large luggag. The washroom is functional but will be tight for anyone taller than 6ft and not of a slim build. The futons were comfortable, and the room is clean. But I suspect that the comforter is not washed between guests as it did not feel freshly cleaned. The towels, bed sheet and pillow case looks to be cleaned regularly. Check in is done through a contactless app located in the lobby and there are no facilities to check in early or to leave your luggage with front desk. All in all a decent property and I will revisit if budget is of concern and there are no better options closer to the tourist center part of tokyo.

Property is located in a quaint suburb 5 min walk away from a famous temple. A few 7/11 type convenience stores as well as quite a few local neighbourhood restaurants around the property. The clean lady is super friendly.

No where to put luggage

We loved shibamata so much, it’s so quiet and beautiful. We loved having breakfast in the common room every morning. The train rides didn’t bother us. The park nearby is stunning.
