THE TOURIST HOTEL & Cafe AKIHABARA

The hotel was nice and clean, and it was only about a 10-minute walk from public transport. The location was convenient and overall we had a pleasant stay.

The only downside was that the beds were a little harder than I expected.

Nice property. Rooms were very basic but fit well into the price category. Very clean and lovely staff. Coffee in the foyer was a nice touch.

We left a jacket in the room and realised 3 days later. Unfortunately it could not be located. Disappointing lost property wasn’t followed up with us after we checked out.

Good location in Akihabara, short walk to train/subway station and shopping district, and a convenience store across the street. Staff very nice, patiently helping sort out a mix up with our booking. Room is reasonably spacious for Tokyo and can adequately accommodate two people, good shower/bathroom. The hotel is in a side street so it is pretty quiet, given it's in a very busy area. Cafe downstairs has excellent coffee and lovely staff.

Mattress a bit firm for me. A bedside lamp would be useful as would a suitcase stand. The design of futons on top of tatami platforms looks great, but the platforms tend to project some noise from neighbouring rooms. It's not intrusive, but noticeable at times. This layout might not suit people with mobility issues.

I liked the location, it was close to the station which is nice.

For the price range, it did not match up to similarly priced 3-star hotels in terms of service. The front desk were friendly enough and extra pillows could be obtained by asking but I was disappointed that only 1 pillow was provided from the begininng. Also, the laundry room's washers were convenient however the dryer machines were old and slow to dry, it took us 4+ hours to dry our clothes. Had I known this, I would've just gone to a nearby coin laundry instead. The rooms also look a fair bit nicer online than in person - but was fairly spacious for a Tokyo hotel.
