We were originally booked in for 9 nights but changed our plans and ended up staying another 3 because the room was just what we needed. The room was very spacious and had a little kitchenette area with a kettle and hot plate and sink and a desk/chair and sofa and massive TV! There were cooking facilities in the communal area just outside the room too although we didn’t use them. The laundry facilities were free to use. Generally clean and had everything we needed in the room.
It was about 1/2 mile to Ogikubo station which made travelling around easy enough. It was about 15 mins to Shinjuku & 30 mins to Tokyo Station. A quiet residential area but close to the train line. Could hear noise from the adjacent rooms and upstairs (an actors gym... whatever that is). Nothing major though, just wore ear plugs and slept fine.
There are restaurants and shops in Ogikubo & a Lawson convenience store just around the corner.
The room is excellent value for money. We stayed in a couple of hotels whilst in Japan and the rooms were minute in comparison and twice the price. The fact it’s a little further out wasn’t a problem.
Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!
