Tokyo hotels in Arakawa

Pros: We hadn’t stayed in a hostel before, but we were pleasantly surprised! We had access to all essential/non-essential such as bathroom, kitchen, smoking area, vending machines, washing machines, dryer, hair dryer etc. The staff were always lovely and the place was very very clean! Everyone one else who stayed there was also lovely and cleaned up after themselves.

Cons: The only con was that it is a little far from the inner city (about a 10-15 minute walk to nearest station). But there is a 7/11 not even 15 seconds around the corner!

Pros: Everything!

Cons: The time to use the bath tub is restricted

Pros: It was very conveniently located near Senjuohashi and Minami-senju station. It made it so easy to go from place to place. The fact that there is a convenience store pretty much next door was great! I forgot my toiletries so I didn’t have to walk miles to get some. The rooms themselves were great I loved sleeping on the futon with a tatami floor, felt very traditional. The old boy who was running it spoke good English and was super helpful. I found it very comfortable and pleasant overall.

Cons: There was no mirror in the bathroom and the only sink was the back of a toilet. Little tricky for brushing teeth and makeup applying.

Pros: Everything neccessary is available within a five minute walk: konbini (24 hour supermarket), ATM terminal, subway station, various budget friendly food options. My room was small (by European standards), but had everything I needed and you don't travel to Tokyo to sit in your room, right? Sleeping on a futon was new for me and surprisingly comfortable. The staff is friendly and speaks English. The area itself is relatively quiet by Tokyo standards and it was nice to get a little insight into the day to day life of people, away from the hustle and bustle of areas like Shinjuku or Shibuya. If you find yourself unable to sleep due to jetlag, I suggest a nightly walk through the neighbourhood and to the Arakawa river.

Pros: Great location, just walk 5 minutes from Minami-Senju Station. Helpful staff. The room is so nice and the futon is so good. The bathroom is clean, I like it.

Cons: you can't read books because of dim room lights in the room

Pros: 1. I love their location. So convenience place. Near Minami Senju Station that made me easy to explore Tokyo and nearby area. There are many restaurants in that area you can find foods to eat up to 24.00 2. The hotel is very clean and make me felt like stay at home. So warm and lovely house. 3. This is my first time to stay private with shared bath room it is better than I expectation. The shower rooms are always clean and always empty for me to use it.

Cons: 1. For the first visitor to this hotel, you may get loss, it near the station but a little bit difficult to discover if you walk wrong alley. I recommended to use Google map and searching for "New Chiyoda", it the same area and the same owner. If you search for Chiyoda Inn it may found a lot of Chiyoda and you will confuse. The easy direction to go to the hotel when you go out from the station, please go straight to the main road, you will see The Family Mart on your right hand side when you are facing with main road. Then, turn left and go straight you will see the Morita Pet hospital in your left hand side. After that cross the road at the crosswalk and turn left. walk a little bit and turn right at the first alley, you will see Marina coffee Shop and Chiyoda Inn will there. 2. The hotel is near the station, you may use ear plug if you are a light sleeper. For me, this is not a problem. I stayed Room no. 205, this side is near train but I slept like a log all nights I stayed there. You may request to stay at the opposite this side, it would be better for a light sleeper.

Pros: Location was great. Close to the station and shopping center. The building was old but the room was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very close to Metro station. Worth of money. The room is clean and tidy. Staff are kind. Although the dim warm light is unpleasant sometimes, there are table lamp and mirror lamp to help. So the room lights are acceptable. Perfect for people who travel along.

Cons: The WiFi speed is a bit slow during nighttime.

Pros: Chiyoda inn was incredibly clean and nice. The location was very quiet and quaint.

Pros: The staffs were very friendly and willing to assist you with info on where to go if you have no idea what to do (since i have visited Tokyo a few times before so I dont really have any idea on where else to go). Also as reviewed before, the location was awesome, it was just 3 min walk from Minami Senju station which were linked with JR and Tokyo metro subway and will take you anywhere.

Cons: The single room with private bathroom was very small, when I stayed in the shared bathroom room earlier, it was a much bigger room. Also, the bathroom floor mat was not replaced, I am not sure if I need to ask them to replace it.

Pros: its good for people travelling alone and looking for a budget hotel. its got a nice japanese homely atmosphere.

Cons: the rooms have a strange peculiar smell.
