Fantastic location in Kamata. Just a brief ＜5 mins walk from Kamata station, its a straightforward route so even if you're a tourist you won't get lost. There is a book-off nearby with multiple convenience stores (7-eleven, Lawsons, Family mart), and plenty of restaurants around the hotel nearby that open late till the night.
For a 2-star hotel, I wasn't expecting much, but the hotel looked very new and very clean, even in the bathroom (photo attached). Walls were impeccable. They cleaned the room and replaced the sheets everyday, even replacing the bedroom slippers daily.
Facilities were great, the room was small but has everything you need. You have a kettle, coffee and tea, a small fridge, bathroom with a small bathtub, bidet, a small tv (tho Jap programs only), a desk with a stool etc. The hotel even has a vending machine and a small laundromat on the 2nd floor you can wash and dry your clothes (200 yen per use for washing/using the dryer). Toothpaste and toothbrush, hairbrush, shaver are all provided. Only downside is you don't have cupboard space (just 3 hangers), but no problem if you are willing to make do and leave your stuff in your luggage bag). Breakfast is simple and complete. You get typically butter rolls, croissants, 2 other types of buns, hard-boiled eggs, curry with rice, cereal with milk (granola), salad, a few types of soups from the machine, and a few types of juices from the machine as well. And of course coffee and tea. Worth it if you just want a simple breakfast. Breakfast hours are a bit limited tho between 6.30am to 9.30am only.
Only downside about staying in this hotel was in relation to communication. Although its a hotel, the staff don't speak English at all, so we had to use Google translate to communicate for things like checking-in and checking-out, and they seemed unwilling to help when we needed to book an early morning cab to the airport. Other than that, this hotel is great value for money and I would certainly stay in there again.
Excellent
