Tokyo Arakawa Ward Hotels

Located not to far from nippori bus and train station, there is skyliner train from and to Narita airport, walking around there are convenient stores and 24 hours small restaurant, room is clean and provide with refrigerator, microwave and induction stove, no cleaning service during your stay but you can take clean towel and amenities down stairs, easy to check in and just drop your room card to check out, employees could speak proper English, definitely will stay again if one day have a chance to visit Tokyo

The front desk clerk can speak Chinese, which is a plus. The room upgrade without any extra cost and a small size is a big plus. Our family of four, adults and children, are very satisfied. The space is very large. It only takes 5 minutes to get out of the station. The nearby Fangjia BBQ and Ramen is also highly recommended

The hotel location is amazing because it’s super close to the Nippori south exit (with stairs leading to the 1/F) and north exit (with both escalator & elevators leading to the 1/F). There are familymarts, 7-11 and supermarket nearby with just walkable distance. The breakfast was so good as the restaurant provided a large variety of food choice. The pillow was also of good quality which made us sleep so well. The only thing to advise is that the hair dryer was quite weak which might take around 10 minutes for ladies to dry up their hair. It’s advisable for customers to bring their own hair dryer.

The room is very clean, but there are too many windows that are closed for ventilation. It will be a bit cold when you sleep at night. The service is very good.

The stay at Almont Nippori was fanstastic. The staff were very friendly in explaning the facilities available. The location is good with just 5 minutes walk to the Nippori station, which is just a couple stops away from Ginza, Asakusa and the train to Narita Airport. You can also store you luggage if you have checked out. Something miss out is on the refrigerator. Apparently it does not have the frozen compartment. So, our ice cream ended up melted as we are not aware of it. Fortunately, the reception is kind enough to help is store and freeze it while we collected for a while period later. Overall, a very great stay. Enjoyed a lot and highly recommended.

Absolutely love this hotel!!! Highly recommend if you are a solo traveller. The location is not too bad as I bought the Tokyo subway pass so I don’t mind it being slightly farther away from the main area. The staffs were great, common shared facilities were so clean I am very impressed. One downside would be they do not provide water so you have to purchase it from the convenience stores nearby. Honestly not a big deal but would be great if it was provided!!!

The hotel is conveniently located just a 3-minute walk from Nippori Station. Due to the lack of rooms, we had to book the rooms 2 days apart. When we returned at night, our luggage was already in the room. Unfortunately the hair dryer only blows cold air.

The bathroom is spacious and clean. Room bookshelf and some areas are dusty. Room has its own thermostat and humidifier and you can set your own room temperature. A lot of things are self service. You need to press a button at the reception to call the staff. Staff is flexible and friendly. We arrived early and because the previous guest had already checked out, he offered to take our luggage up first.

I had a great 5-night stay at the hostel where it is bound to be lively at the ground floor. If you’re that kind of person that likes small talks, this would be a perfect place for you to stay! The room is overall perfect; I have ample space to pack my luggage. You may opt to choose whether you want a high floor and whether you want to be away from the lift, which I thought was a nice gesture. Cleanliness is decent, especially the toilets. The staff is so friendly as well! They accommodated to my requests and questions, and frankly the experience of interacting with them is much different than the typical business hotel staff. Although, there are a few pointers to take note (not negative but perhaps if you’re nit-picky about them): • Walls are definitely not soundproof. You can hear people walking along the corridor (with some chatter), and they can hear your TV volume. • You only have two hooks to hang your clothes. Considering that I had a towel rental, it would be nice to have a separate hanger for the towel. • They won’t do housekeeping daily unless you request for one. I was fine without one since I don’t stay for long. • Nearest station is roughly an 8-minute walk which isn’t too bad; however if you have huge luggages, you would need to overcome the bridge across the rail tracks. Don’t worry, there are elevators available. • Not much food options around, but there are near by convenient stores. Might be worth exploring the area if you want to grab a meal, especially the nearby station. I would definitely recommend this place if you are on a tight budget but also wanted your own private room (instead of a capsule bed). Hope to come back another time!

It's called a hotel, but it feels more like a homestay. The Japanese-style rooms are suitable for foreign tourists. The room is spacious and has a unique layout. It's surrounded by residential areas and there's not much noise. It feels comfortable to live in. The price is not high, and it feels worth it. The proprietress is also very enthusiastic. She is proficient in Chinese, English and Japanese. She will also give us a hand-drawn map of the hotel and public transportation routes to several popular places in Tokyo to show us the way. It's very friendly to novice tourists who come to Tokyo. If you need to check in early, you can also ask them and they will give priority to tidying up your room. The hotel itself does not provide laundry service and breakfast, but there is a free public area where you can heat food, make coffee and eat. The surrounding 24-hour self-service laundromats, bakeries and convenience stores can also make up for the shortcomings of the hotel. The only disadvantage may be that the place is relatively remote. It takes about 10 minutes from the hotel to Nippori Station, and it is not as convenient to go to several popular places in Tokyo as hotels closer to the city center. But considering the price, these problems are really nothing to me. All in all, this is indeed a very good hotel, worthy of its Ctrip 4.7 and Google Maps 4.8 ratings. I hope I can book a room at this hotel again when I bring my parents to Tokyo next time.
