The rooms were very small, but honestly, based on my wife’s knowledge of Japan, that was to be expected. It is a very high populated area, and space is very limited. Otherwise, the staff was very friendly. The place was clean. The rooms only get cleaned, every three days. Not good for people with small children. My only complaint is that all of the TV stations are broadcasted in Japanese. That was not cool.

What i liked most is the Free open buffet breakfast. Lots of options to eat in the morning, whether is is Western food or Oriental. Liked also the fact that Towels were being handed to me everyday in a bag hanging on my door. A useful thing would have been an actual working and efficient AC in the room for when it gets really hot. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay.

Overall, i will give them 3 out of 5 stars. Why?
Here are the reasons.
The thing that i liked about this hotel was that it was close to train stations, convenient stores, restaurants, and 15 mins walk from the Nagoya Castle. the room is pretty ok size. Has there own restaurant in the bottom basement floor.

The dislike about this hotel was the day we checked in, and it was about at 11pm. An older gentleman staff member at the front counter was helping us. I felt like he was upset about something. I don't know what, but the way he talked to us and the way he helped us was not very friendly. Also, our Expedia travel package included breakfast. How did i know? So the next morning, my son and i went to the front counter to ask one of the staff members( different person) and i said if my Expedia travel package includes breakfast. She double checked my liter if the breakfast

The hotel is very convenient as it's very near the Tokyo metro and there's a convenience store nearby. Its location is also near most areas so it's easy to get around. However the experience staying there for me wasn't great and the walls are thin so if you're a light sleeper this isn't the hotel for you. It's a decent stay if you're not fussy due to the ideal location but there are better hotels out there for around the same price.

Old hotel at good location

Steps away from the subway! Multiple convenience stores around and a great sake bar nearby! This a cheaper, but also older hotel. That means things are not shiny and new. There's stains, mold in corners, burn marks, etc. It was still clean, but some things are worn and aged. Being an older hotel however, means the rooms are quite bigger than most other newer hotels! They also provided two pillows per bed, which is not something we saw at other Japanese hotels.
We made the mistake of booking a smoking room because there were no non-smoking rooms available anymore. This is on us, not the hotel, but the smell was extremely unpleasant and uncomfortable to bear. We got a couple of car air fresheners and clipped them to the air purifier in the room and that really really helped! (Opening the window and running the air purifier on its own did nothing)

Smile Hotel Tokyo Nihonbashi was a great budget hotel for me and my partners needs. We wanted to save on hotels because we were spending most of our time out the hotel, exploring. The bed fit both of us and was perfectly fine, there was AC and the option to open the window which i enjoyed and didn't have the option of at our previous 3 hotels. The location is very convenient for hopping on multiple subway lines and there were many convenience stores around. Because the location is central I believe we heard more emergency vehicles than any other stay during our trip, it didn't wake us up, but if you are a light sleeper that is something to consider. The hotel is a bit aged, which didn't take away any amenities, but you can see a number of scuffs on the wall from previous inhabitants. They also don't use keycards, but a physical key on a hotel key chain. I would not say that the hotel is dirty, however when we were packing up, I did a thorough inspection to make sure we didn't leave anything behind and there was a good amount of trash/dropped items and dust between the built-in desk edge and the wall, I understand that it is a very difficult spot to clean and retrieve things, but it wasn't the best sight. There was also a faint smell of smoke in our smoke-free room, but my asthmatic partner did not feel uncomfortable in it, they did notice it though. Overall a great budget stay, nothing fancy, but cheap, clean, and comfortable!

Room is only serviced every 3 or 4 days, which is fine, but they deliver fresh towels every day, but don't collect the used ones so we had a pile up of towels (both clean and dirty) by the end of the stay. We weren't sure how to stop the fresh towel delivery every day.
conveniently located within easy walking distance (approx. 2 minutes) to Kayabacho Station.
Cafe downstairs, had great food with a robot to deliver food to your table.
Toiletries, slippers and robes available from the lobby. Slippers and robes were already in the room, but you could get additional from lobby if required.
upon entering the 3rd floor from the lift, the smell of smoke was very strong.
As the room was close to ground level the outside noise was very loud and you could not keep windows open to allow fresh air into the room.
The dryer in the Laundry didn't dry very well and really needed it's lint filter emptied as it covered all clothes with lint. washing powder is available from reception, it would make more sense to have this in the laundry

I liked this hotel. I had room #664 and it was pretty small but it worked well for me as I’m traveling solo. The bed was hard but I liked it, the pillows are. Stuffed with beads or something, not sure but it was kind of hard for my liking but I folded one my hoodies on it and it was fine. This is not vacation hotel so don’t expect a lot. Check in was easy and quick. The staff were all helpful when asking questions. Housekeeping only cleans the rooms every three days of your stay but they do provide fresh towels and hang them on your door for you.

The hotel is in a business district so not a lot of excitement going on in the neighbors. Just a 2 minute walk outside of the hotel is the Kayabacho station and that’ll help you get to any destination you need to go to. Tokyo station is about a 20 minute walk, real easy with no hills so if you don’t want to walk there use the Kayabacho station outside the hotel. There’s a cafe, restaurant and convenient store next to the hotel, store is 24hrs and a 711 across the street.

I would return again and stay here because it’s budget friendly and good for solo travelers.

Small Room, Good Value

The rooms were very small compared to American standards. Having said that, they were clean and accommodating. In-room slippers were provided as well as typical amenities (hair dryer, water kettle, toothbrush/paste). Nice breakfast buffet in the basement restaurant. Pay for the buffet at the hotel front counter. Lobby is spacious, but no eating/drinking allowed. Many electrical outlets available. Now,back to the size of the room, we found it very small. Not large enough to open our luggage on the floor - we needed to place the luggage on the bed to open. OK for a short time, but two people need to work around each other to make the room work. Still a good value for the price.
