Sotetsu Fresa Inn Tokyo Kanda

Excellent location near Kanda Station (close enough for it to be really convenient, but not close enough for you to hear every passing train), surprisingly spacious room by Tokyo standards, which was also very clean and intelligently designed, plus helpful and English-speaking staff. Plenty of free amenities available to collect at the reception.

Check in process was smooth. Wide range of amenities available in the lobby; toothbrush/toothpaste, bath sponge, combs, various teas, facial washes, and different bath powders. Friendly staff. Room was very clean, no smells or stains. The single room I booked was just nice for solo traveller, though it might be a little small for a couple. Great location. Near to multiple stations, both on the JR and subway lines. Plenty of food available at night. Great coffee place nearby. Also located right beside a 7-eleven, and a 2 minute walk to a FamilyMart.

I have no experience for comparison but according my investigation, it is a very good hotel for the price. The area is not a party area but it is strategically smart if you want to discover whole Tokio during several days. The room is very small but smartly arranged, as is typical. It was my first and last hotel I had in 3 weeks Japan. It has no restaurant or so, you are not there socializing with nobody. However, the staff is very very helpful and nice. They stored my luggage for 2 weeks between my two stays and received several items I order from amazon.jp in my name and when I showed up again, they immediately gave me all items. It is so incredible how Japanese can care for customers, and they are surely a good example. It is surely good for somebody like me who comes to Japan first time and has to learn a lot before he knows how things work. If you want to be close to the hotspots of Party than it is rather Shibuya and Shinyuku, cause Taxi is expensive and metro stops around midnight. I had some 20-30 minute walks to Ueno and Akhibara, that´s not so far, and it is also nice to check out. And the center is also not so far to the other side.

The best thing about this hotel is convenience. As it is close to couple of stations like Kanda (Chuo, Ginza, Keihin-Tohoku, Yamanote lines), Iwamotocho (Shinjuku line), Kodemmacho (Hibiya line), Shin-Nihombashi (Sobu line), it is very easy to access different parts of Tokyo. It is in walking distance to interesting areas like Akihabara and Jimbocho. There are different konbini options around the hotel. There are two washing machines (300 yen) and two dryers (100 yen). At least one was always available to use. There are two vending machines (one for soft drinks, one for alcohol), an ice machine for cold drink lovers, and a microwave in the same area as the laundry. The lobby has necessities you might take whenever you want like coffee, tea bags, cotton pads, bath salts, etc. I stayed 12 nights, and the room would be cleaned at least every 3 days. I was satisfied with the cleanliness of the room. Wifi works great. There was no noise, and it was a comfortable stay.

I loved my stay! The location was very convenient and there were many restaurants near the station, the Kanda station was only a few minutes from the hotel. The staff were kind and very helpful, the facilities were clean and the bed was very comfortable! I would stay here again!
