Sotetsu Fresa Inn Tokyo-Toyocho

For the price this is near-perfect The Hotel isn't in the center of Tokyo but this isn't a problem at all, there's the Toyocho Station literally 10 meters from the hotel, so you have access to nearly anywhere with only one change. The staff was wonderful and helped me multiple times. Everything was clean.

This hotel is great value for money. Room is small, but if you spend most of your time out doing stuff, it is perfectly adequate for the evening/night. Rooms are immaculately clean; staff very accommodating and friendly; despite language barrier, very helpful. Hotel provides a number of things that frankly, other hotels, especially in North America, should consider offering: in the lobby one can borrow stuff like cables, umbrellas, work lamps, even curling irons. Staff went out of their way to lend us an HDMI cable. WIFI is fast and reliable. Room amenities are minimal but there are lots of stuff on offer in the lobby including shaving cream/razors, bath salts, even sheet masks and hair ties. Room tip: if you're someone who likes easy access to the ice machine, ask for a room on the 4th floor; vending machines and microwave also on that floor. Hotel location is directly on top of Toyocho station; Daiso is across the street. Cake at the nearby Cozy Corner are delicious, as is the tonkatsu place a few doors down.

The location is very close to the subway exit (Toyocho station) on the Tozai line. From here the airport is about 45 minutes away with 1 change at Nihombashi. The hotel location is next to a Lawson, Family Mart, Mini Mart and Daiso. There is a Sukiya (Japanese diner) in the hotel basement and a Pronto diner (where you can get breakfast vouchers from the hotel). The room itself is standard for what you expect in Tokyo I.e. compact but functional with an ensure washroom. Each floor has an ice machine and vending machines (which are Godsend for the hot weather). The room is equipped with a small fridge, TV, hangers ans basic coffee stuffs. The bed was comfy and the air conditioning could be changed manually. You do need to put your hotel card into a slot to run electricity in everything in the hotel.

Everything is almost perfect. Every staffs are so friendly and respectful. Perfect definition of Japanese hospitality. Rooms are so big for us. They even have a small dinning table. We didn't even use the bank beds since one bed can accomodate a couple. My son and daugther just shared also the other bed. Very clean room and unlimited courtesy stuffs (lotion, etc...) near reception. Restaurant was just at the basement and entrance of the building. There are some near restaurant also if you want to explore. Very near to metro access.

The location is very close to Toyocho railway station so it is easy to get there. There are also few food stalls that we can get whenever necessary as well as a family mart next door. The room is pretty small that we cannot move around freely, however, it is very clean with complete amenities. The receptionist are superb. They are young but very helpful to serve the customers. Thanks very much for your assistance particularly related to my shoes problem. They also prepare some tools that we can borrow if needed.
