Hotels near Sugamo Station, Tokyo

This was my first trip to japan. l didn't really know what to expect but Smile hotel made it feel like home. the staff from the front desk to the cleaners made the experience better. the staff don't know much English but guess what you're in Japan! learn some Japanese or be patient with the staff as they will be with you. the service was excellent to me, l enjoyed the morning tea bags they give to you. the location is very ideal next to a lot of restaurants and convenient stores. the biggest one for me was it's a minute away from the JR Line(train) which you can connect to a lot of the tourist spots like shinjuki, Akihabara and shibuya. it should take you less than 20 mins to get there. l loved my experience and would definitely recommend staying here. The price for the rooms are great for the size of the room. P.S Also get a suica card don't waste money on the paper ticket believe me your experience with trains will be much better.

I came back from work at night and was surprised !! The door of the room was on the door arm? The door guard? It was on the top of the key, and it was in a state where anyone could enter the room !!! Maybe I forgot to close it so that I could put it in when I cleaned it, but it is an incredible mistake as a hotel. Fortunately, there seemed to be no stolen or stolen, but I couldn't sleep because I was able to enter the room almost all day. It was a different day, but there was no bath mat. I didn't have a phone in the room, so I had to go to pick it up from myself, and I was tired of work, but it was troublesome. It is a hotel with a lot of problems in the work of the cleaning person.

We reached hotel around 12+ can’t check in yet so they keep our luggage, we went out for lunch after came back and check in. My wife asked for nice view to the counter staff so he upgraded our room to 36th floor ( free of charge ). We got panoramic view, room was compact but clean and nice City view. We are happy although they didn’t clean for last day. Location was awesome, convenient store at lobby and next to shopping mall. We will come back for sure.

Despite the room being small, it has all the basic necessities. My son loves the bath tub, as he could play with the bath bombs. Location is good and you don’t have to walk long way back to hotel. Many convenient stores, pastries shops, fast food and small restaurants. Quiet town, and easy to navigate. Two subway stations - JR and Metro to transit to various parts of Tokyo.

Room is good for who like old-fashioned. For us, room type is old and didn’t feel a good relax moment. Air-con also need to modify with new. Others materials and service are good enough like a budget hotel.

If you leave the north exit of Otsuka Station, there is a hotel in front of you. It is close to the downtown area where restaurants are lined up, and the location is not the best. I'm glad to have a welcome drink coffee. Breakfast is free with bread and boiled *, soup ３ types, etc. I think it's enough if you don't ask for luxury. The room (single) feels a bit narrow and there is no closet, but if you don't ask for ”relax in the room” just by sleeping, there is no problem. However, it was inconvenient that there was no outlet on the pillow.

Great hotel. Excellent customer service. Near the train station. Room is clean and new. WiFi is good. If you are staying in the superior room, do ask for the Mt Fuji view. We stayed on the 19th floor and we can view the beautiful Mt Fuji from our room.

I ended up staying here after taking a hard look at my itinerary for a recent solo trip and wondering if it would be possible to forego the nicer hotels I had stayed at in Tokyo last November (and which, as part of Japan’s excitement about welcoming tourists again, have since quadrupled in price) and instead experience a cheap, clean, cute place for the more budget-minded traveler. For the most part, I was right. The OMO hotels (the higher the number, the nicer it is) are owned by Hoshino, so it is still stylish and trendy, and even when corners are cut, it’s done in a way that feels modern and cool. For instance, the hotel lobby - on the fourth floor abutting a Sizzler - is decked out in a theme that references the old cable cars in Otsuka, and there are manga, vintage city pop albums and souvenirs for sale everywhere you look. Check-in is mostly automated, though staff are there to help guide you through the process. On the way to the elevators you can grab some amenities like toothbrushes/toothpaste, combs, etc and rent pajamas. In these ways - and many others, mentioned below - the hotel feels a bit like a hostel, albeit a super cute one. The rooms themselves are as quirky as the lobby, with a weird but hyper-designed layout: storage is along the walls to maximize the tiny space, the sink takes up half the hallway, and the majority of the room is built out like a large bunk bed: there’s a large futon style sofa on the bottom and a narrow set of steep stairs up to the loft with two small futons for sleeping, with signs urging you to be careful not to hit your head. Indeed I spent my four days there walking around bent over and trying not to accidentally die when I had to gingerly climb downstairs to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The layout may have contributed to the noise above me that I suffered throughout my stay. But the heavy stomping around felt explainable when I climbed up to my own bed and had to collapse down onto the bed from the stairs in the cramped space. There was unfortunately also a lot of yelling and running through the hallways but that’s likely attributable to just the kind of tourists looking for a cheap place to stay in Tokyo (of which I guess I was one). There doesn’t seem to be a cleaning crew. So if you need anything - from new towels to dumping the tiny trash can, which is likely to fill up in a couple days due to the absence of public trash cans in Tokyo - you’ll need to ask the front desk, who pull double duty here. In fact, when my heated Toto washlet wasn’t working, two separate front desk staff came up with tools to try and fix it. Unfortunately they never were able to. However they were very helpful when I accidentally forgot my room card and were able to provide a temporary one without needing to charge me. Breakfast is terrific, if simple. You get a choice of an American breakfast or a variety of hearty Japanese breakfasts like salmon ochazuke and you get a small onion soup and sal

The service staff are very attentive. If you check out before 11 o'clock on the last day, your luggage can still be stored at the counter. I have a flight at 10 o'clock in the evening and it is very convenient to go back to the counter to pick it up after 5 o'clock. There will be cleaning and towel changing for you every day of your stay, and the laundry is self-service on the 3/7/10th floor.

A great hotel with good location and good rooms with a large bathroom !! And a super careful staff , you can also choose bathrooms to give you a relaxing bathroom !!! Obligatory visit to Tokyo ( Sugamo )
