Economy Hotel Hoteiya

Although the hotel is far from the city center, the service is very good. I forgot to bring an adapter plug, and the front desk gave me one. The bathroom and pantry are all available, and the tatami is also very clean. It is a cost-effective choice for traveling in Tokyo!

It's very clean. There are six or seven clothes hangings in the room, which are convenient for hanging clothes, and there are also small mirrors. The third floor is a female-only toilet. The shared bathroom on the first floor is restricted to girls from 21:00 to 23:00. There are drink vending machines on the first floor that are cheaper than outside. It is a bit far away from Minami-Senju Station and takes more than ten minutes to walk. The hotel is on the main road. The road looks safer. The quilt is super soft and the pillow is a bit small. I chose this location mainly because it is closer to Narita Airport. The soundproofing is not very good, and it was annoying as if there were always people walking on the floor with hard-soled shoes in the second half of the night.

The room is okay, alone. It is close to Minamisenju JR Station and only 15 minutes' walk from Asakusa. There are supermarkets and convenience stores nearby. The most important thing is that it is cost-effective. If you are traveling alone, you can consider staying here.

The budget hotel is quite stingy. I stayed opposite the door to the trash can. Fortunately, the sealing is better. The water dispenser is quite dirty. The facilities are old. The refrigerator is very noisy in the middle of the night. The sound insulation is also relatively poor. I can hear snoring in the room next to me.

The soundproofing is good for single people. It is divided into men and women. It is relatively good among low-cost hotels. The bed is a bit hard and the pillows in each room are different. If the pillow is too high, it is recommended to change the pillow otherwise it will be difficult to sleep. There are 2 separate independent showers. There is a bathroom and a bathhouse. The latter can accommodate up to 4 people bathing at the same time. Generally speaking, it will not be too crowded, but if you don’t want to bathe with other people of the same sex, you need to go to the bathhouse, but sometimes you need to queue. There is a smoking balcony on each floor. Smoking is allowed. There is also a smoking room on the first floor, but you need to take off your shoes. You are not allowed to step directly into it. There is also a smoking area at the door. You need to change your shoes when going to the toilet in this hotel. You are not allowed to step directly into the toilet.

I was worried about security measures. You don't leave your keys at the front desk, and the entrance is unlocked so even outsiders can enter. I was scared when I was coming back from a convenience store when a strange man followed me, and even though I ran a green light, he chased me at a red light and saw me when the hotel elevator closed. There was no toilet in the room, so I locked myself in the room for a while.

It’s about 500 meters away from the station, convenient. Take the Shinkansen from Nagano👌 so I live near Nagano. There are many supermarkets nearby. Facilities: The Youth Hostel Plus version has independent rooms, shared toilets and showers, and this hotel also has a large soaking pool. The price/performance ratio is pretty good. The bed is a bit hard and not very comfortable to sleep on. Hygiene: clean Environment: Although a bit old, but warm. Service: It is recommended to provide free towels, many youth hostels provide them, otherwise it will be too inconvenient...
