Pros:
• Great access to the JR Ryogoku station and line for foreign visitors with JR pass
• Many restaurants and convenient stores nearby
• Host responds quickly
• Easy check in/out procedures and instructions
• Had all the essentials for a short stay
Cons:
• Close to a railway and gets noisy when the trains pass by.
• There are 2 showers but cannot be used at the same time as one will have hot water and the other will not. Cannot take shower longer than 5mins before hot water runs out.
• There are signs posted don’t be noisy or there will be a 50,000¥ fine. We had to whisper or talked really low during our stay.
Overall:
We had 9 people in our group and this place is just right for us and all the luggages. Its on the 7th floor of a small building that includes businesses and maybe a functional hall. There is an elevator and the elevator door closes quickly. Its walking distance to the Ryogoku Station and there is a MacDonalds around the corner. Its safe in this area, but we did see some homeless people around the area. Although some of the people in my group say they would not stay here again, I would.
