Hotels near Bic Camera Yurakucho, Tokyo

I had a layover in Tokyo on a Saturday, and to my surprise, hotel prices were ridiculously high. So, I frantically scoured platforms, looking for a clean place with a good location. This hotel barely had any reviews, and hardly anyone on Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media app) had written about it, but I decided to take a chance. It was only 600 JPY for one night, located in the Hatchobori area, just one stop from Tokyo Station. [Location] The hotel is a 3-minute walk from Hatchobori Station, making it super convenient to get around. It's two stops to Tsukiji Market, Ginza is within walking distance, and Tokyo Tower is also very close. Shinjuku and Shibuya are in different directions, about a 30-minute subway ride. Disneyland is also quite close, roughly a 20-minute subway ride. [Facilities] This is an ICI Hotel, a Japanese chain, opened in 2020. The lobby was packed with luggage; you can store your bags, but keep in mind that check-out is at 10 AM. [Room] The room is genuinely small, only 9 square meters... it's hard to open a large suitcase. However, the room is very clean!! At this price, it's perfect for budget travelers. No need to stay in a hostel when you can have a private room at this price; I can't ask for more. [Service] The front desk staff was quite friendly, which is to be expected from a chain hotel. In summary, the hotel is clean and well-located. The downside is the small room, but it's ideal for those who spend their days out exploring Tokyo and don't plan on spending much time in the hotel.

The location is excellent, with a subway station just a 5-minute walk away, and Ginza not far either. The price is also quite good, and the exterior looks very upscale. However, once you enter, the standard room really only has a bed, barely enough space to open your luggage. But the service is great. It was raining when I was there, and there were always staff members cleaning the floor at the entrance, and umbrellas were provided, which was very convenient.

This was my second stay here. Last time I had a single room, and this time I opted for a small queen room. It felt slightly larger visually and had an extra windowsill. However, due to the bed's placement, I still couldn't fully open my suitcase. The two ladies at the front desk who checked me in this time were fantastic and had excellent service attitudes, a stark contrast to the male staff member I encountered last time who was quite cold.

I chose to stay at this hotel for a weekend. First, the location is great – very convenient for getting to Ginza, and there are plenty of dining options nearby, plus it's right next to a theater. The room was a bit cramped. It would be fine for one person, but for two, it would be quite awkward. There was a massage chair in the room, but I didn't get around to using it during my two-day stay. The bathroom has a shower, which was acceptable. The breakfast offered a good variety of dishes, but the portions for each item were very small, which made me a bit hesitant to serve myself. I can understand that they might be trying to avoid waste. On the bright side, the bread was replenished very promptly, and there was a coffee machine where you could make different types of coffee. Near the front desk, there were complimentary tea bags and lotions available. Overall, the service attitude was excellent – very friendly and polite. Next time, I'll opt for a larger room.

The KoKo Hotel Tsukiji was the worst hotel I've stayed at in Tokyo. I was careless and didn't book a hotel in Ginza in advance, and it was the Christmas and New Year's holiday season, so all the hotels I wanted were already fully booked. I ended up having to book at KoKo. Its location is great, very close to Tsukiji Market, so you can go there for breakfast every morning. However, the hygiene and service were really terrible. I always thought Japanese service was excellent, but KoKo made me realize that even Tokyo has bad hotels. First, the hygiene was awful; they only cleaned once every three days. We stayed for three days, and if you don't request a towel change, they won't even clean your room. The hairdryer was disgusting, though fortunately, after a call, they brought us a replacement. Also, they don't provide bottled water. I've stayed in so many hotels, both domestically and internationally, and this is the first time I've encountered one that doesn't even offer bottled water. I saw guests going to the supermarket every day to buy large and small bottles of water to drink. We also went to the nearby supermarket daily for our three-day stay. We paid five-star hotel prices, but the service wasn't even as good as a budget hotel – I was truly shocked. KoKo has 76 chain stores, so maybe cost-cutting is their winning strategy. In short, I will never choose them again. Tourists, beware and choose carefully.

I’ve passed by this hotel before and finally decided to stay here. The best thing about it is definitely the location, right in the bustling Ginza district, super close to the lively main street. The hotel lobby is quite small. Check-in isn't until 3 PM, so early arrivals ended up storing their luggage in the lobby, which made it feel really cramped. When 3 PM rolled around, everyone came to retrieve their bags, and there was a bit of a queue. The room wasn't huge, but the layout was decent, and the bathroom was quite spacious. However, the air conditioning in the room was old and couldn't be adjusted for hot or cold settings. For the first two days, it was set to heating, and I was melting! The room temperature was at least 30 degrees Celsius, and it was incredibly dry. It felt so hot and dry that it was almost suffocating. Thankfully, the Trip.com customer service was very helpful. After I reported the issue, they quickly contacted the hotel, and the room was automatically switched to cooling mode, which made a huge difference. The dryness, however, remained. There was a window in the room, but it seems windows in Japanese hotels generally don't open. The hotel room itself was pretty quiet; I couldn't hear any street noise. But in the mornings, when housekeeping was cleaning, there was a bit of a noisy banging. I think the beds are on wheeled frames and easily moved, so the banging and moving sounds during cleaning were quite loud. Some of the furniture in the room was a bit old. The handles on some cabinet doors were loose, and the mini-fridge didn't cool very well. Otherwise, everything else was pretty good. Upon check-in, I also received some complimentary face masks, which came in handy given how dry the room was.

Great value for money and convenient transportation. Facilities: Very satisfied. Cleanliness: Clean, tidy, and orderly. Environment: Simple and stylish. Service: Friendly and helpful, especially being able to shop at major department stores near Ginza right outside the hotel.

It felt like I was sleeping in a space capsule, yet only a few hundred meters from the ground. Late at night, looking through the public area's floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the Eiffel Tower's shimmering lights pass over the sleeping capsules, there was a cyberpunk sense of solitude. There's no privacy here, only the most precise routine for sleeping and showering. It's perfect for those who need to temporarily deposit their physical body while their soul is still on the move.

The hotel's location is pretty good, not far from several subway stations, making it easy to get around on foot. However, the room was really a bit small; it was even hard to unpack my luggage. It's just about enough for one person, I guess. The hygiene was average, and the decor is quite old. Given the limited budget for this business trip, it's acceptable for this location.

Facilities: The facilities are quite new, and the room size is good. You can store your luggage under the bed after unpacking. The first floor has a restaurant, and the second floor is the main common area with complimentary drinks and pancakes. Hygiene: The room is clean. Environment: The common areas like the lobby, restaurant, and corridors are all very nice. Service: Everyone at the hotel is very welcoming and the service is great.
