The flat was in a lovely area, quiet but walking distance to stations and shops and restaurants if needed. We struggled a bit getting in the first locked door to the block with the instructions given but luckily someone was coming out and helped us with getting in. The apartment was of a nice size we were 3 adults and it was fine as a base for us. The toilet and bathroom were separate as was the sink which made it easy when people were getting ready at the same time. There is a washing machine and the bathroom also had an amazing drying feature in it where you could hang your clothes in there and turn on a heating feature to dry them, I much prefer this to a tumble drier. It meant we could wash and dry our clothes while there before we moved on to our next place. For the price we paid this apartment was extremely good value and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

Everything was as listed. Love how quiet the neighborhood is and how easy it is to take 1 stop on tsukuba express to get pretty much right into the massive yodobashi camera building for a quick lunch before heading out.

The condition of the room wasn't good. The floor was peeling in several places, the couch was stained, and the walls around the bathroom sink were covered in spatter from people brushing their teeth or spitting into the sink. Additionally, there was a gurgling sound that came from the kitchen sink randomly throughout the night, and it woke me up on multiple occasions (I stayed here for six nights). I had to cover the drain with a dish to block the noise. I wouldn't stay here again.

The apartment itself is pretty good for 2 adults, more than that and it feels like it's going to be very tight.
Because it was only 2 of us, we managed to sleep comfortably, but the sofa bed cannot handle 3 people over 1m70/5'6\" They would need to sleep sideway, so that can be 2 people at the most, not 3.

The bathroom area is VERY separate from the living space which is pretty nice for privacy and noise management if people are showering when others are asleep.
The washing machine is very welcome for light travelers.

The location is pretty great since you can get to 3 different lines within 10-15min walk. Restaurants are plenty on the way home as well.

The area is VERY quiet and there is a 24/7 supermarket 2 blocks away.

Would use again in the future

Definitely a place for someone that can follow instructions and likes quiet spaces. I was concerned prior to arriving that the lack of front desk would be an issue but the hotel communicates in advance via Expedia very well. I had zero issues getting into my room and settling down. My family rested well and even with a 10 year old on the spectrum we were able to keep to the rules well. We were able to wash, cook and clean for ourselves.

We had an excellent experience at this hotel. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. We were granted a late check-out at no extra charge, which really helped us relax on our last day. The hotel is also in a fantastic location—just a 4-minute walk from the bus station and 9 minutes from the train station. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Highly recommended for both convenience and top-notch service!

Property is located in a residential area; you get to see how the locals live. When we first arrived, we were kind of surprised as we did not expect to be in a residential area (the place was recommended by family) but we enjoyed it and would come back. The room is small by U.S. standards but adequate. The bed is comfy but not the pull out futon, my back hurts after sleeping on it (there's a support bar on the futon that you have to avoid sleeping on top off). It is about 10-15 minute walk to the nearest train station; about 25 minutes walk to Sensoji Temple and about 20 minutes walk to Akihabara. It may be faster to walk to Sensoji Temple than to walk to the train to take it one stop. For Akihabara, maybe take a train on the way back since you will probably have done alot of shopping. We did use Uber a couple times to get around, the Uber taxis arrived within 3 minutes, but wait times may vary depending on the time of day. There is a Supermarket about one block away that is open 24 hours and has good food and alcohol selection. There is a public spa on the next block but we did not get to use that. The neighborhood itself is nice and quaint and very quiet, relaxing. 10 minutes away there is a main street where there are stores and restaurants. If you want a place to stay where it is quiet and no street noise, this is a good property.

The shower was very good The apartment was clean The washing machine worked well. I did not get the apartment that was in the pictures on Expedia No view of the city... when I question them they said... well the computer picks the rooms. I found that out too late the day I was leaving. To me Pictures are important! what you show with your pictures is what I believe I'm getting. but I didn't get that. That being sad. They give you one towel each and a washcloth. their booklet it says you have to pay more money if you want another towel The towels are very thin not appropriate for a bath or shower. The apartment is not adequate for eating a dinner with your family or spouse. Unless you sit on the floor or the bed and eat. It took two days to be able to use the refrigerator it was frozen over with ice.. this is a great place for maybe a businessman staying one or two days not for a tourist in my opinion. The supplies are very limited. The last few days I had the air conditioner on while sleeping and I couldn't stop coughing we didn't need the air conditioner the whole stay I think they need to clean that. Lesson I learned is ask questions about the pictures.

View expectations unmet, no reply on move request

Good - This is a relatively new complex, so the decor is fresh and the apartment is clean. It is in a nice local area.

Unmet expectations - picture 4 of the property is titled 'view from the room'. I selected this property on the basis of the view of the Skytower. However, our apartment was at the back of the building without this view. I messaged the property explaining this and asking to be relocated, but received no reply. The rate for this apartment is higher than I was prepared to pay without this view. So, be aware if you want to book based on picture 4 view, your chance of getting it is low, because 1 in 3 apartments per floor have this view, and based on the letterboxes, the 'Mr Kintaro Hotel' appears to have all floors except 1 and 2, and if you are placed on a low floor you will not have a view of the Skytower.

Location was nice and quiet, plenty of subway lines nearby with tons of conbinis. Place itself was nice and clean and had everything we could have asked for. My only complaint is a minor one, the mattress has pretty much gone to waste because its never been rotated or flipped, one side is super worn out and sinks deeply by the pillows and the other side couldnt be any more firm. Couch futon was more comfortable.

The basics d

Pros:
Easy and clear instructions to check in (no staff at this hotel)
In a quiet area nestled among residential homes.
15-20 minute walk to multiple train stations.
Easy to explore Asakusa and Ueno neighborhoods. Take advantage especially if you’re still adjusting to time zone, so easy to explore early in the morning and feel like you’re the only one there.
Always appreciate having a washer/dryer so I can pack light.

Cons:
Definitely a dated hotel in terms of amenities.
Pretty much hands off in terms of communication/requests once you check in.

This was an excellent stay! I loved that i got a feel for living in a japanese apartment. The communication was incredible and was able to have my luggage forwarded from Nagoya.

The only thing to consider is how much walking you'll do in comparison to other stays weve had. It was a great quiet residential location that had a 10 minute walk to the nearest train or bus stations so consider that.

Overall wasn't a bad place to stay but also wasn't a great place. The walls definitely has chips missing and some marks on the floor and walls but the bed and futon we decent. If you have to contact the property owner definitely call as online you will wait days if ever a response. There is no on site person which the add did say for ours, it is all online. You definitely can hear your neighbors when they are in their rooms walking around, especially above you (or maybe I had bad luck for the week I was here). I wouldn't recommend having more than two adults as it would be very cramped. Over all a decent place and close enough to subway stations and a little grocery store.

Although the property itself was clean enough to stay in, our balcony was very dirty from grime and floor was constantly wet from air-conditioner system. We were not able to step out on the balcony without bringing dirt inside and also while drying laundry, if it fell on floor it would get dirty again from all the grime on the floor.
On two occasions someone tried to enter our apartment while we were inside. I asked the two people who tried to get in what they want and the just said \"sorry\" and walked away. This was very disturbing experience. What are you doing for safety of your guests?
I communicated these issues to the management and never received any reply at all. I would not recommend this place due to safety concerns and complete lack of customer service.

It was average. Room was an ok size for one person any more would’ve been tight. The floor in my room was coming up and there was a hole in the closet door. The shower head was screwed in outside the shower instead of actually in the tub so you could only shower by holding the shower head. There was a free washer and dryer which was very convenient. The walls were rather thin so you could hear people above, below and to the side of you to some extent. This may be on Expedia byt upon arrival I was never sent any check in information so I had to call the property to get the code to enter. The area was very quiet but it is only a 20 minute walk to ueno, asasuka and akhiabara. The train and lawsons/711 are about a 5 minute walk. If you are looking for simple place to stay with nothing too fancy this place does the job. I was out most of the time exploring so this fit my needs fine.
