R&B Hotel Otsuka-eki Kita-guchi

Hotel was right across the Otsuka train station and provided easy access to other parts of Tokyo. Taxis were also easily avail. A shopping center next to the train station offered good food selections.

good breakfast mandatory room service is really annoying

Great location and staff. Royal Host is just beneath this hotel (which is a cut above Bikkuri Donkey)! There's a very popular onigiri place a block away; just prepare for long line. You can watch the trams pass by in their breakfast area while eating, which Otsuka is the only city that has such a transit system in Tokyo. The cons are the plumbing gives off a slight sewage smell (not too bad for the price you pay) and the laundry room smelled very funny. For laundry, I went to Baluko Laundry Place instead. Will consider staying there again if I were to do another solo trip.

The hotel is very handy for the railway station. I love the area and the room is clean.
