Unique hotel in good location
Loved the location of this hotel - super short walk from a main station and close to the main street in Akihabara. The bathroom was pretty small but the room itself was spacious and the beds were comfortable. You can definitely hear the train but it didn't bother us.

Had to stay a quick night and the location of being under a railway was intriguing. Also being in Akihabara was convenient.Nice little lobby/cafe.Rooms were clean and felt cozy.I was able to sleep fine personally and my friends did too.

Great Stay. Highly Recommend.
We ended up arriving in Tokyo a night early so we booked here to stay for one night. Very comfortable and everyone was really nice at the front desk. The train is loud, but really wasn't a big deal. We enjoyed our night here.

Right by the JR line so it was easy access to transportation. It is a cool place to stay as long as you don’t mind a bit of train noise, if it bothers you that much they do offer earplugs at the front which is really nice! The walls are a bit thin and the people who stayed next to us were really loud and kept us up most of the night but besides that it was wonderful!

Perfect location near to Akihabara station. Family of 4 slept comfortably on each bed. Sound of train didn't bother us since we were so tired from all day adventures. Bath/toilet room might be a little tight for big people but we didn't had an issue. Free amenities include mask and wash cloth, toothbrush etc .. were great. Front desk stuff can speak both English and Japanese thoroughly and very helpful. Key coffee shop within is also great. Very tasty hot coffee. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

The location was amazing! I would definitely stay here again. Although our group of 4 was cramped in there, we didn’t stay for too long in the room and it was very convenient to reach the train station. My only complaint is that the sides by the beds are very very dusty. Other than that, no complaint.

Will need to get used to the railway train. I thought there might've been a sound wall or "new tech" to shield some of train sounds, but it was a tough transition for my ears. Front desk service was helpful in looking up airport transportation options & luggage storage. Tight room for a family of 5 but we made it through.

Excellent but with a caveat
Staying in this hotel is a very unique and interesting experience. Excellent location. Amazing staff. Very clean, but this is not a traditional hotel - not in a bad sense though if you are open to non traditional ways of accommodation. A word of caution: if you have low tolerance of noises ( thinking about trains passing literally overhead) you might want to think twice before booking this one.

Quirky stay in great location.
This is a fantastic little hotel in the heart of a bustling neighborhood but on a side street that isnt too busy. We came here straight off the plane and jetlagged. I had lost my passport and the receptionist called the police and helped me find it.
Their service was fantastic and it was such a unique space to be in
You can hear the trains, they run right over regularly however they didn't bother us at all and I found them strangely soothing.
There is a cafe bar linked to the hotel, really lovely, great spot for a morning coffee
