Friendly owners, amenities are provided. Rooms are bigger than the average Tokyo hotel rooms.
The room is dated, but the rooms are clean. They give you new towels and free water everyday. They will keep your luggage as well.

A cosy little hotel with friendly staff. The hotel itself is dated, but it's clean and well kept. There's a train station within walking distance and there are quite a number of dining options around the area. Would stay at this hotel again when I'm in Tokyo.

Second time around
This is our second time staying at this hotel and that is for a reason. The room is spacious especially for Japanese standards, there is a special touch to it as the owner is very hands on and it is close to the TCAT where one can board the limousine bus to go to Haneda or Narita airport. They have many amenities and they would refresh our towels and bottled water everyday. There are also many restaurants nearby and is walking-distance to train stations. We will definitely stay again!

The hotel is surprisingly a block away from one of Tokyo City Air Terminals, Train Terminal and Tourist Information building. You can easily access Tokyo's tourist destinations. Narita and Haneda airports are a Limo Bus ride away.
The hotel owner and his staff speak English and are very helpful.
