    Rooms are tiny but adequate.

    The breakfast buffet was outstanding. And we liked all the amenities that we could get before heading up to our room.

    The location was super convenient. It was only a minute from the station and right next to a DonQuijote. It also is nearby Big Box a small mall that has a 3 coins, Loft, clothing stores, cafes, and a Taito arcade. Since it's located on Takadanobaba, it's really close to both Shinjuku and Ikebukuro, but isn't as busy and noisy as those two stations, making it an ideal spot to stay. The hotel staff were really nice and check in at the kiosk was really easy. The hotel was also really quiet. I could sleep soundly at night without being woken up by other guests coming home. The room was also a decent size. I could fit my suitcase in-between the bed and wall, making it easy for me to walk around my room. The amenities available were also really nice, they had sheet masks, cleansing oil, hair ties, and an array of other skincare available.

    The only downside was the breakfast. It wasn’t particularly impressive, and for the same price, you can get a much better meal at one of the many nearby spots.

    This hotel is a fantastic find for the price! It’s just a 3-minute walk from the train station, making it incredibly convenient for travelers. Don Quijote is right next door, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby, offering a great variety of food options. The room was a good size—comfortable enough to fit three adults without feeling cramped. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, yet still close to the action. You get the best of both worlds: a relaxing environment with easy access to the city’s attractions. Overall, this hotel is a steal for what you pay. I’d definitely stay here again!

    After 30 years living in Japan, I still don't like the tiny hotel rooms and cramped bathrooms. But it is what it is. The room was slightly warm for my preferences even with the heating unit turned as far down as it would go. At least I could crack a window and get some fresh air in and that helped.

    Very convenient location for my purposes. Just across from the JR station, close to the clinic I needed to visit. Buffet breakfast exceed expectations (compared to only the one other Sotetsu Grand Fresa I've stayed at). Had dinner in the hotel one night, it was also quite good. No fitness facility but that is normal for Japanese business hotels. User friendly check-in and out. Friendly and helpful staff (although the stay is arranged so you pretty much don't have to deal with anybody if you don't want to).

    We love this hotel! This area has everything - from shops, restaurants, to arcades and karaoke! The hotel offers many amenities, the staff are very nice and we enjoy it very much- it's already our third stay! The room is small, but it is noted when ordering, and we find it good for us. The water pressure is amazing and not obvious in Japan at all.

    The shower leaked a little despite the fact that we used the curtain, so the bath mat got soaked and the bathroom floor was wet some of the time. There was not much floor space to have suitcases open — we were comfortable living out of two carry-ons, but it would have been difficult to use a full-size suitcase (probably almost impossible to have two) in the type of room we had. So if you have a lot of luggage, consider a room bigger than the one with just a double bed.

    The location was even better than expected — less than a one minute walk around the corner from the Takadanobaba Station entrance, right next to a Don Quixote, and at the intersection of at least two convenience stores and a mall. Service was excellent; everywhere was clean and well-equipped with amenities and up-to-date technology. The self check-in/check-out processes went quickly and smoothly. The elevator requires scanning your room key to access the higher floors, so it felt like there was an added bit of security. We had a city view from the ninth floor, but since the sun rises so early it was nice that the curtains blocked light effectively so we didn't wake up too early. We also no problems with noise anywhere on or around the property; the neighborhood wasn't completely empty late at night (since convenience stores and Don Quixote are still open) but it felt like a safe facility/street, and we rarely heard or even saw any other hotel guests except in the lobby.
