Scene
Affordable budget hotel with modern style for on-the-go travelers
With convenient transport links and access to the city's main museums, this hotel attracts a range of travelers looking for a budget option in the heart of Tokyo’s cultural district. The hotel itself is located on a side street, and the building looks fresh and well-maintained from the outside. Inside, the lobby is nothing more than functional, with a tiled reception desk, selection of tourist maps, and a couple of seats for waiting guests. Some hallways are exposed to the outdoors, with only a mesh-covered railing separating room doors from the elements. The central location is the hotel’s greatest selling point, and guests are likely to spend most of their time exploring the local area rather than in the hotel itself.

Rooms
Small and modern, with microwaves, mini-fridges, free Wi-Fi, and en-suite bathrooms
Adopting a neutral color palette, the rooms here have a fresh and modern look, with white walls, gray carpets and curtains, plus touches of soft blue in bed runners and artwork. They are incredibly compact, and many rooms have barely any space to walk around. Features cover all of the standard comforts needed for a short stay: air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, microwaves, mini-fridges, sinks, and electric kettles. There are desks plus vanity mirrors, and stools or small desk chairs provide seating. Slippers, pajamas, and hairdryers are also included. Economy Semi-Double rooms are more spacious, although beds are still a tight squeeze for two people. Desks are smaller in these rooms but the room feels larger, with additional floor space. The en-suite bathrooms are compact, with Japanese-style toilets plus tiny showers. Towels and toiletries are provided.
Features
Laundry room and vending machines, but no restaurant
This hotel has minimal facilities, though that's on par with other central Tokyo budget hotels. A laundry room in the lobby area has plenty of coin-operated washing machines and tumble dryers. There's also a communal room that has a seating area with bar stools, a sink, and several vending machines. DVD players, cookware, cutlery, and trouser presses can be rented from the hotel. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property.
