The hotel’s in a handy spot, right in front of Tokyo Skytree with easy public transport, and there’s a supermarket downstairs with long opening hours. The rooms were quiet and large by Tokyo standards. There’s a floor with a free microwave and ice maker, plus paid coin laundry. The TV shows the current occupancy of the laundry machines. I did find that the “eco cleaning” option only meant emptying the trash and making the bed. The room wasn’t actually cleaned, and the coffee packs weren’t refilled, so I switched to full cleaning for the remaining nights. Most rooms don’t actually have a view of Tokyo Skytree, though. I’d originally have given the stay five stars, since the hotel itself was fine and convenient, but a credit card payment mistake soured things. I was charged the wrong amount and asked to have it refunded and pay again. I offered to pay the 300yen balance in cash instead of reversing the transaction and charging the correct amount. That little 300yen error ended up costing me 2000 yen, because the original card transaction fee wasn’t refundable and currency conversion rates were different. A costly price to pay for a mistake that wasn’t mine.
