Hotel Sun Royal Kawasaki

The location of this hotel is good for going into Kawasaki, Yokohama, Haneda Airport, Enoshima, Izu, Kamakura etc. going into Tokyo can be a bit more difficult- these lines seem to be getting busier so 'rush hour' extends well into the the day... but it is only 8-15 minutes into central Tokyo from Kawasaki station so if you can handle dealing with a full train Tokyo is still quickly accessible.

Having to wait for 4 people to do a full check in before getting the key to our room (we had already checked in a few days before, but as is typical with Japanese hotels, you need to leave your key with the front desk when you leave the hotel) was not ideal. The breakfast is hit and miss, they seem to pull out all of the stops for the breakfast on weekends, but on for example Monday, you might get curry for breakfast.

The location is convenient. The staff was very good - check in was easy. The room had everything you would need (fridge, kettle, toiletries) and the breakfast has both warm and cold options.

On the first night there was a cockroach in the bathroom. We also saw one (different one, as we killed the one in the bathroom on the first night) in the main room a few nights later. The room was clean - but it was still a bit unsettling to see them.

It was nicer than expected. A lot of space, and comfortable.

They kicked us out of breakfast right at 9:00. They didn’t allow us to finish our coffee.
