The room was very dark and had a strong musty smell. The short male clerk at the counter had a very bad attitude. He even lectured guests when he asked a question. How could it be possible that he knew how to operate all the facilities when he was staying in your hotel for the first time? He only asked in return. Leak contempt.I really can’t recommend the location. It’s a long way from the Toei Oedo Line and Asakusa Line, and you have to transfer to the subway to go to popular attractions. Unless you just want to visit Kuramae and Asakusa, or reluctantly go to Ueno, don’t waste your precious time. Time changes over there.

We really enjoyed our stay in a private room. it is quite a bit of travel to go to shinjuku or shibuya, but the neighborhood is very quiet, friendly, and relaxed so it was worth it for us. There are many great cafes within walking distance & very good restaurants that aren’t too long of a wait.There are also many train stations in the area with quite impressive fast schedules. The room did have a “smell” that we noticed, but we just opened the window to air it out every night, it seemed to help.One recommendation for the property is to put a fan or find some way to make the womens powder room on the third floor cooler, it got very hot & humid in there!otherwise, definitely recommend staying here.
