Hotels near Bunkyo, Tokyo

I am writing a review for a hotel I stayed at and was extremely satisfied with. I was thoroughly impressed with both the service attitude and the facilities. The hotel staff were very patient and friendly—if you had any questions, you could always ask them, and they would gladly assist. The public areas of the hotel are elegant and clean, and enjoying a cup of complimentary freshly brewed coffee here was a wonderful way to recharge. The room decor features a strong Showa-era style. You can’t imagine how happy I was when I woke up one morning, turned on the radio, and found it playing the Vienna New Year’s Concert! Although the room is vintage, it is exceptionally clean and fully equipped. The hotel is located right next to the University of Tokyo, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll on a sunny afternoon. Overall, this is a great value-for-money Showa-style hotel. During my stay, I caught a glimpse of what reminded me of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.

Great hotel for the price. Felt clean, great location and good service. Would book this again if I’m back in Tokyo

Conveniently located with food options into the night near Ueno area. Room feels clean and comfortable as well

The hotel is about 5minute walk to Tawaramachi stn on Ginza line. It is 2 stop from Ueno stn, where the Keisei train to/from Narita. Stay 4nights room is small as expexted but clean as usual Toyoko inn standard. Breakfast area is small at lobby area, time 7:30 to 9am. Only japanese food is served. Check out is 10am, check in 3pm.

I cannot praise this hotel enough. The staff were amazing went above and beyond, they helped me use Japan mail and weighed my packages. So friendly and always had advice. The facilities are clean and well stocked, free coffee as well as a makeup room for women with hair straighteners and curlers! Common rooms nice and felt very safe. The room itself is small but my large suitcase fit well under the bed. Showers and toilets clean and available, never had to wait. Great location, in a nice safe area. Beautiful hotel - If I was to return to tokyo I would definitely stay here.

Great hostel. Everything is perfect Only thing is slightly far away from station. Please check location in advance

Gooooodddd. Love this hostel! Would love to visit again! It provides free towel, slippers, toothbrush!

The location was great, with the station, supermarket, convenience store, drugstore, post office, and everything else within a 5-minute walk. The room was a little small, but it was clean and had all the basic amenities, so apart from the lack of space to open my large suitcase, I had a comfortable stay. I'd like to use it again.

This guesthouse had a comfortable, family-like atmosphere, and I really appreciated the kindness of Boss and Haru. I'll definitely go back! It's also not far from the station, which made getting around very convenient.

I liked this place. A pretty standard classic capsule hotel: sizeable capsule with a console, daily turnover service, large shower and onsen room with an attached steam room. Service was good: they have an army of twinks working there after hours, it was like being checked in by BTS. All issues I had with my capsule (broken lightbulb) were addressed quickly and cheerfully. Sometimes it kinda seemed like they were laughing at a few of the foreign guests, but you know what, fair. This place is kinda rules heavy, with lots of notices posted around the property. There is no eating or drinking in the capsules, and instead you have to go to this common area that feels a bit like a hospice for abandoned uncles. Vending machines, manga library, smoking cubicles, that sorta thing. Clean and tidy though, equal numbers of dudes using it for remote working and day drinking (I have a feeling that some ppl live in this place). They have the usual elaborate system of lockers and keys, but they will store your luggage for you while you are out. No need to check out in the day. Overall a chill experience. While I was staying there though some dude did have a mini breakdown about what he saw as it's shortcomings, so I just wanted to comment on that. According to him the place was disgusting. He was especially perturbed by the housekeeping service and the showers. His claim was the the toilets were dirty and that it was unacceptable to fold bedsheets on the floor. Mind you, he was having this rant at 10:30 - checkout is at 10:00, meaning that a whole stampede of airport-bound weebs had just taken spicy ramen fuelled power dumps so they could get out of there on time. Most of the day the facilities were pretty spotless in my opinion. In regards to folding the bedsheets on the floor, I dunno what in the Disney princess he was expecting, but there really isn't anywhere else to do it. I think it's unreasonable to expect little doves to come fly your linens into your capsule tbh. The capsules are literally on... the floor! What do you want? His overall complaint that the space was generally messy was a lot more valid. At this point I had a suspicion that they kind of segregated foreigners from Japanese customers. It's true, that the foreign floor was a bit of a tip - luggage thrown around, empty bottles everywhere, garbage. I went up to the Japanese floors to snoop around a bit. Spotless. (Pictures of both included for comparison) In this case I think the call is coming from inside the capsule, not really fair to hold the staff accountable to your own messy manners. His final gripe was about the showers - specifically the lack of private cubicles. Private cubicles were not advertised anywhere and Japanese onsens are pretty standardly communal spaces, so again I dunno what he wanted. Maybe a shower, with a curtain? Maybe a shower with a door? Maybe a shower with a psychic forcefield that would make his ex girlfriends forget his underwhelming junk and prevent his father from behind disappointed in him? I'm not sure. But I guess the dozen shower stations with soap, shampoo, and face wash weren't cutting it. In fact a lot of the Western guests seemed pretty pranged out by the shower situation, waiting until like two am to wash up and then scurrying around the baths with a hand towel infront of their package like a little purse. If you regret going bald, that's on you. Kinda silly, but if you are bashful maybe this also isn't the hotel for you. Unreasonable though to blame the establishment for you own shame. Anyway, that's all to say the worst part of my stay was for sure the ranting and raving from an unshowered backpacker while I was trying to have a lie in. Otherwise a pretty decent stay.
