Easy contactless check in. Room was a bit small for 3 people but the in room laundry was a bonus. Each guest received pajamas and there were plenty of towels for the entire stay. Hotel is near the train tracks, so you might be hearing the trains go by during your stay but it wasn’t too bad. Just a few blocks from 7/11 and about a 3min walk from the nearest train station.

It was a nice condo with washer and a shower that can close and fully dry clothes (option on the heating control). Location is close to train, grocery stores & restaurants. Room is also equipped with a fridge, freezer, microwave, sink & kettle. The layout was a bit tricky and tight so we can only open the suitcase in the hallway by the bathroom. I definitely will stay here again.

Satisfied with the overall condition of the property. However, the building doesn’t have lift, so expect to carry the heavy luggage to walk up and down via just stairs. Also very close to the train track, can hear the noise when train pasts, having said that the property only about 2-3 mins walk to the train station.

The room is a tight fit, there's no walking room but it's super convenient to stores, 7-11, the train, markets, and there are some lovely neighborhood walks. Be aware that there isn't an elevator (we were at the top of the very narrow 3 floor walk-up) but the room, and the tiny kitchenette is so sweet. The bathroom is great. Wonderful water pressure and the convenience that they not only provide shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, but also toothbrushes and toothpaste and some very cute pjs. I absolutely would return.

This hotel is very difficult to find via Google Maps. I knew this after reading reviews, and still had some challenges finding it. We stood around with all our suitcases until a local who worked in the area noticed us and asked if we were looking for the U-Hotel. Without him, who knows how long before we found it. Some more clear directions/images to help with finding the hotel would be very helpful. We arrived after sunset, so this was more challenging in the dark. To call this a hotel is also a little misleading. There is no front desk, staff or housekeeping. Check in and check out is through a pretty slow tablet. Our room was on the third floor. It is worth noting that there is no elevator in this building. We had five suitcases, this was a bit of a challenge for us. The unit is quite small and typical for Tokyo, but certainly manageable. While no housekeeping, the unit was clean and we were provided with 9 larger towels and 9 face towels which was more than sufficient for our short stay. There is a laundry machine in the room which is nice, although there is no detergent. The location is superb because it is right next to Takadanobaba station, however because of its proximity, you will hear and even feel the rumble of the trains throughout the night.

It's a nice hotel with about a 5-7 minute walk from Takadanobaba Station. 7/11 about 1 minute away. Not a whole lot of dining options close, but still walkable. Check-in was a tad tricky at first, but everything was simple once it was done. Bear in mind, there are 3 good twin beds, but the room is tiny. Like, no place to put your suitcases. We crammed ours between the beds and did a lot of sideways walking in the room. If you can get a good price (hard to do around Shinjuku), then go for it.

質問の返信が早くて困った時に助かりました。ミニマムなアパートメントでしたが、洗濯もできて、洗濯干しもあり助かりました。洗濯洗剤は自分で用意する必要があります。
残念なのは、設備は新しそうなのに、あちこちガタツキがあったことです。みなさん、もっと物をていねいに扱いましょう。
近くにドラッグストアやスーパーもあります。シャワーのみですが、古い銭湯も20分弱歩きましたが、楽しく利用しました。
