The free onsen is a plus, as is the friendly staff. The rooms are on par with the Sakura Hotel chain, with comparable prices. Stay in the Sakura in Ikebukuro if you want to be close to nightlife, stay at the Sumisho if you don't need to party. The ensuite bathrooms are good, but as I said before the Sakura also has ensuite with the bonus of being in a area filled with shopping, nightlife, restaurants, etc.close

Good hotel in a bad location. Free onsen is a plus, as is friendly staff. 1 AM curfew sucks, but there is no nightlife in this area anyway.

Good hotel, good location and helpful staff. The only hotel we visited in Japan where we slept on beds, rather than futon; which was nice for a change. However, with the beds, there wasn't much space left in the room to do anything else but sleep. Only two subway hops away from Akihabara.... more Good hotel, good location and helpful staff. The only hotel we visited in Japan where we slept on beds, rather than futon; which was nice for a change. However, with the beds, there wasn't much space left in the room to do anything else but sleep. Only two subway hops away from Akihabara. It was possible to do laundry here, which was practical. Also, unlike stated in the description, there was no curfew when we visited; so we were able to check out Tokyo's nightlife.close

Western-style rooms are rather average but are en suite and have all you need. The station is situation on one line, meaning that getting to the West side attractions is a little inconvenient but it is perfect for visiting East Tokyo as it is on the very useful Hibiya line (Ningyocho station), which is just a 3-4 minute walk. The communal baths are nice, if a little small.close

Print out the maps of the place to find it, Tokyo is not easy to find places/addresses. Noisy doors, but otherwise fine. I slept for 12 hours after my flight here!

The hotel staff was very friendly and willing to help you out and give you some local advice. That was a great bonus. Also, the location of this hotel is Superb. Ningyocho is the perfect location to get around Tokyo.

After we lost our passports, staff went completely out of their way to help us try and find them. Hotel was very clean and comfortable. Use of the internet was missed though!

It's definitely a good place to stay and the price is right (for Tokyo)close

The rooms aren't non-smoking, so If you not a big fan of smokey rooms it would be a good idea to contact the hotel before you make your booking.

The staff were extremely helpful - they can`t do enough for you. It is a basic room but very close to a subway station that is on a good line - easy access to Ginza, Roppongi, Asakusa and Shinjuku. I will definately stay here again when I am back in Tokyo.

Great place to base yourself - the metro is easy from here with a choice of lines from the local station. We had a western room and wished we had had a more traditional one, but our western room was still Japanese in its small compact set up!!

What you would expect from any cheapish priced hotel. Clean efficiently run - rooms are small but it is in Tokyo so that is to be expected. A good place to stay all in all.

Good value for a clean and safe place to stay. The room was small but efficient and had nice touches, including a kimono robe, refrigerator and kettle with tea. Overall a major upgrade from any hostel in Tokyo for only spending a few more yen.

It is a real hotel rather than a hostel, so be prepared for that. Nice location, near to subway. Most of the staff speak some english and are helpful.

The rooms are small compared to American standards but if you don't want to spend too much on a hotel but have your own private bath, this is a good choice. The staff really tries to assist you in anyway they can, and in English too!
