Minn Akihabara

The rooms were clean and the staff were all nice. I also liked having the shower, vanity area, and bathroom separated so they could all be used at the same time. The train station was a moderate distance away. With a suitcase it didn’t feel especially close, though it was what we expected. We arrived at 10 in the morning and easily used the tablet to talk to someone remotely and leave our luggage for the day. After returning past midnight, check-in went smoothly with someone on site. But we had booked for three, and the fold-out bunk hadn’t been made. We were exhausted, and the only time I’d had to make my own bed before was at a cheap dorm hostel in South America. I couldn’t believe it. Reception said I had to do it myself. For the price of the hotel, that felt extremely unreasonable.

We were there for ten days. The rooms were really nice, and having a washing machine included was a lifesaver. The bunk beds in the room for three or four were laid out very well.

We were four people for four nights, and the room had plenty of space for us. There isn’t always someone at the front desk, but the self-service check-in and checkout were pretty easy. The washing machine was great because it washed and dried clothes, so they were ready to wear without hanging them up. There was also a kitchenette, which made cooking helpful.

There’s plenty of room here for four or more people, and having a washer/dryer was a big plus. The stove, microwave, fridge, and cooking utensils were useful too. I wish there had been English instructions for the air conditioner, heater, and washer/dryer, though Google Translate worked as a fallback. It was a very good stay. Next time, I’d probably pick a Minn closer to the train stations.
