Caveat emptor

Great and convenient location not far from three train/subway stations but no cleaning service in rooms during our five day stay. Had to ask for clean towels 3 times. Quiet neighbourhood except for people entering and exiting adjacent room at all hours. Overpriced for a two star hotel at best. Hallways are dirty and run down. Rooms were clean but in desperate need of renovation. Beds are squeaky and pillows less than flat. Lesson learned. Caveat emptor.

WARNING BEWARE OF ROOM 5 AND M5!! PLEASE, for the love of god, reconsider staying here. This was by far the worst hostel experience we had in Japan. The day we arrived they let us check in an hour early, which we thought was awesome. The room heavily smelt of bleach, so we left the bedroom window open. We left to go sightseeing for the entire day and came back late at night. It was a cold night, so the heaters had been turned on, enhancing the smell of mould. We were horrified. It’s hard to explain just how damp and mouldy this place smelt! We started really looking at the room and realised the shower had black mould growing in the silicone. From what we could tell, they had plastered the shower in cheap wall paper to hide how run down it truly was. When you poked some parts of the wall paper, it buckled inwards. It was around 11pm at this point, I was having a hard time sleeping, so I went to the service desk, Hoping, praying, they would have another room. The man managing the service desk acted shocked when I told him about the mould. How could you miss it?! I suggested for him to come take a look, so he followed me to the room. The man looked around the shower, pointing out the mould and poking the walls like we had. He tugged at the silicone in the shower and started to pull it up. Looking at the mould behind the silicone was nauseating so I left the bathroom. The man said he could not help us and that we had to wait till 7am to talk to the manager of sophiearth. I clos

As a last minute reservation since my Airbnb was small for the amount of people we booked for. I stumble upon this property, at first I wasn’t expecting nothing big. However upon first impression. This was the perfect size for person. This hotel allowed me to come sleep, than hit the street of Japan. This hotel is in prime location, everything is very walk able. Overall I love it. Will for sure look for posting when I come back to Japan

As expected of a 1 star

Not a great place to stay, more of a last resort short stay. Dirty, toilet leaked on the floor after every flush, shower drain didnt work effectively so the shower would flood with dirty water from the run down flooring and walls. Bugs were frequent and it felt risky just being in the beds. Dont be cheap; spend the extra cash and get a better place.

Great except the sewage smell

My brother and I stayed in a F lettered room. At first glance it looked ok. Had the bunk bed, shower, and toiled all in one room. The size didn’t bother me. However after coming back from being out smell started. I thought my brother just used the bathroom and made fun of him. Even tho he said he didn’t. Then the second night the smell was was still there. We swapped positions on the bunk and I 100% noticed the small coming from the side of the wall. It was covered with wood. But you could tell it was covering pipes. It’s not hard to figure out it was sewage pipes. I did make a comment they the rooms looked like renovated showers/bathrooms. I guess I was right. Other than the smell I could get passed anything. We didn’t complain because we were out most of the day. But I wouldn’t stay in that room again. I did get sick leaving. Not saying it was the room. But can’t rule it out either. Going back to Tokyo and my brother said don’t get a *hit room like before. He’s not picky. So even he wouldn’t stay again. I would stay at the hostel if I could pick another room. But beware of F room. The one in the left.
