Hanabi Hotel

Practical and Utilitarian, perfect Toyko hideaway

Pros: The location is ideal for accessing and experiencing Tokyo! The room is practical, utilitarian and is a perfect base point for any traveller on a budget. Overall, highly practical and that makes it perfect!

Cons: Mattresses were thin by western standards, however more can be rented.

Perfect for a one night stay

Pros: Situated in a small street away from the noise of the main street, but still close to the train station

Good location for those who want to explore Tokyo fully

Pros: The location of the hotel is great as it's near the station + it's near so much establishments that close later into the night. Shin-Okubo is just one train transfer from Nippori station if you took the Skyliner. They offer luggage storage (at an amazing price) which was amazing for us as we took a short trip to Hakone before returning to Tokyo. The room that we booked was perfect for 4 adults, we were able to sleep comfortable in the futons.

Cons: Nothing to take note of that's so negative. You do have to remove your shoes before entering the Hotel and keep them at lockers by the front desk. You do need to close and move your luggage before you sleep since you need to lay down your futon in the tatami area. They don't have the Japanese toilet system, which they do show in their photos. I believe there are limited sockets in the room (enough to charge 1 device per person for 4 pax), so it's best to have your extension cord with you if you need to charge more gadgets.

Thank you

Pros: Great Location - we only stayed for the one night and did not check in till 8pm, which was no problem. There was a total of 6 of us, 4 boys (21 years old) loved that there was this massive TV screen, they all laid out on the tatami mats to chill and watch Anime, so they were in bliss haha. Also loved that the main 'strip' was a 5 min walk so we were able to grab some food, loads of eateries, 7 Eleven, Family Mart, Lawson and Don Quijote. x2 Air Conditioners in Room, warmed up the room quick smart. You need to take your shoes off and put them in a locker before you enter the foyer. Need to mention that the hotel is down a side street, and if you are arriving at night, no need to be worried, as it is safe :)

Cons: If I really had to pick, it would be the toilet and the bathroom, they are quite small, but that's it.

Pros: It’s a good accommodation for relatively low budget. The location is a little off the Main Street but provides easy access to a train station of the Yamanote line.

Fruitful trip

Pros: Location is excellent with JR train station is just 3mins walk away. Shops and restaurants just nearby My second time stay here

Pros: The staff were friendly. The room was clean. The location was perfect. It was perfect for just me to stay.

Cons: The futon mattresses were not comfortable but I doubled up then it was ok.

Pros: Sleeping on a tatami is a fun experience! The location is nice also, very close to two metro lines and the korean neighborhood. Also, a walking distance to kabuchiko. The area is full of places for food.

Overall is worth the money and convenience.

Pros: Location was convenience. Near jr line. 7 eleven also nearby. A few restaurant also a don don dongie.

Cons: Only the bathroom and toilet is small , but usually in Tokyo is normal.

Quiet

Pros: The location is very convenient. Near bus station and stores.

Cons: The curtains do not block the sun light so you have to weak up early.
