Ryokan Nakadaya

Pros: My sister and I stayed at Tatsuo’s ryokan for a full week and were happy with the traditional feel of the place, the cleanliness and Tatsuo’s wonderful hospitality and recommendations.

Fantastic host and lovely place to stay

Pros: Very clean and comfortable. Close to the train station. Tatsuo-san is a wonderful man who will help you plan your day and suggest activities! Will definitely be happy to stay here again in the future.

Pros: An amazing experience! This was my first time in Tokyo and I was very glad that the first place where I stayed was this Ryokan! For a solo traveler it was such a convenient, comfortable and cozy place! I did feel like in anime while coming home and experiencing traditional Japanese Ryokan! Also Mr.Tatsuya was incredibly hospitable and very friendly! He was showing many places in Tokyo, helping with all questions about the stay or about the trip, even sending all the locations from Google maps with recommendations! Every day he was saying “itterashai” when I was going out of the house and saying “ittekimas” - it was a little thing yet I actually felt like local living in Japan! :) And I also really enjoyed sleeping on traditional tatami, I slept like a baby!! Very thankful for such an incredible experience and highly recommend this place

Best customer service for the money

Pros: The host was the friendliest guy I've had in my travels. Always ready to help you out and advise on where to go. He even helped me carry my suitcase to train station after I checked out. Better customer service than fancy hotels :) I slept pretty well. It's not a great place to do work though. You take a clean towel from a shared space whenever you need. Again a luxury compared to other places where you're stuck with one towel for the whole duration.

Cons: 2 things - the common areas are cold! And it was only mid November, it must be freezing there in December. Getting out of hot shower into the cold wasn't the best but manageable. The wifi also stopped working a few times.

Pros: Traditional tatami one-bedroom — great value and very comfortable. What really makes this place special is the owner: he introduces you to traditional Japanese customs, shares local tips and stories, and gives excellent advice on where to eat(depenfing on your budget), what to do(with your preferences), and what to avoid. Perfect if you have a loose plan and want an authentic, local Tokyo experience.

First trip to Tokyo, Japan!

Pros: I do not know where to start, the host is very friendly and very attentive to give you recommendations and help you in whatever you need, the rooms are in traditional style, very clean and comfortable with everything you need to rest (futon, air conditioning, TV, space to accommodate suitcases and clothes), the bathrooms are shared and super clean, you can wash and dry your clothes on site, the neighborhood is quiet and very close to supermarkets, restaurants, Onsen and transportation (both metro and bus).

Cons: No comments, our experience was excellent

Amazing staff and calm neighbourhood.

Pros: This place is amazing! The location is great, close to two metro/train stations and not far from Asakusa, Akihabara, and Ueno. It’s a very calm neighborhood, and I had no problems at all. But the best part was the staff! The owner was super lovely and gave me tips on places to visit every day, depending on where I was headed and he was there to help basically 24/7. When I was leaving, he even helped me carry my luggage from the hotel to the train station. This place is perfect for a long stay: fresh towels every day, good AC, good Wi-Fi, comfortable rooms and close to both a 7-Eleven and a Lawson.

Cons: Nothing to complain.

Cozy!

Pros: Staying at this traditional ryokan for my first stay in Japan is an experience I wouldn't trade for any 5-star hotel.

Cons: Felt a little sore after sleeping on the floor, but it comes with the territory.

Perfect stay in Tokyo

Pros: The host is very friendly and helpful, helped with planning and recommended great places to visit. The room was cozy and the accommodation had everything I needed and more. It was a great first introduction to Tokyo and the surrounding area.

Cons: Squeaky floor, haha...

Amazing time

Pros: Great place to stay, old japanese style, very atmospheric, good location, cheap supermarket nearby. But what adds to the magic and power of this place is the host - Mr. Tatsuo. An amazing man, who from the first minutes of my stay was extremely helpful and immediately showed me interesting places nearby. But not only nearby, every time I went somewhere, Mr. Tatsuo would show me and suggest interesting points of interest in the particular place in Tokyo I happened to be heading to. As a result, this place will stay in my memory for a very long time. I can recommend it to anyone who respects japanese culture and wanted to learn more about it.
