    Realize Japan usually has very small rooms, but this was definitely on the tiny side!

    Excellent all round stay.

    Honestly, I can not think of anything of relevance

    - very nice breakfast (and lunch) - comfortable room and bed - next to a metro station and several food options and convenience store - self check in and check out - good internet speed - various complementary items

    The location was super convenient. It was only a minute from the station and right next to a DonQuijote. It also is nearby Big Box a small mall that has a 3 coins, Loft, clothing stores, cafes, and a Taito arcade. Since it's located on Takadanobaba, it's really close to both Shinjuku and Ikebukuro, but isn't as busy and noisy as those two stations, making it an ideal spot to stay. The hotel staff were really nice and check in at the kiosk was really easy. The hotel was also really quiet. I could sleep soundly at night without being woken up by other guests coming home. The room was also a decent size. I could fit my suitcase in-between the bed and wall, making it easy for me to walk around my room. The amenities available were also really nice, they had sheet masks, cleansing oil, hair ties, and an array of other skincare available.

    The only downside was the breakfast. It wasn’t particularly impressive, and for the same price, you can get a much better meal at one of the many nearby spots.

    This hotel is a fantastic find for the price! It’s just a 3-minute walk from the train station, making it incredibly convenient for travelers. Don Quijote is right next door, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby, offering a great variety of food options. The room was a good size—comfortable enough to fit three adults without feeling cramped. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, yet still close to the action. You get the best of both worlds: a relaxing environment with easy access to the city’s attractions. Overall, this hotel is a steal for what you pay. I’d definitely stay here again!

    After 30 years living in Japan, I still don't like the tiny hotel rooms and cramped bathrooms. But it is what it is. The room was slightly warm for my preferences even with the heating unit turned as far down as it would go. At least I could crack a window and get some fresh air in and that helped.

    Very convenient location for my purposes. Just across from the JR station, close to the clinic I needed to visit. Buffet breakfast exceed expectations (compared to only the one other Sotetsu Grand Fresa I've stayed at). Had dinner in the hotel one night, it was also quite good. No fitness facility but that is normal for Japanese business hotels. User friendly check-in and out. Friendly and helpful staff (although the stay is arranged so you pretty much don't have to deal with anybody if you don't want to).

    I had an excellent experience in this hotel. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Housekeeping was great, they keep my room very clean every day. I also loved that they had a restaurant and laundry room. Also location is super convenient, just next to metro station and Yamanote line so you can go anywhere! I’m very grateful for the experience and fully recommend.

    We love this hotel! This area has everything - from shops, restaurants, to arcades and karaoke! The hotel offers many amenities, the staff are very nice and we enjoy it very much- it's already our third stay! The room is small, but it is noted when ordering, and we find it good for us. The water pressure is amazing and not obvious in Japan at all.
