Shin Okubo Sekitei

I previously stayed here 5 years ago and decided to go back as this property has a good value for money. It is situated 3 mins away from Shin-Okubo station in a very quiet side street surrounded by residential buildings. Many restaurants and services around. Room was a decent size with a living room and a bedroom; wifi was fast and staff was nice and accommodating.

The bathroom was a bit smelly (damp). No lift but staff helps you with bags if needed

Love the room and the hospitality of the staff. They even granted my request for extra curtain. The room is spotlessly clean. AC works good. Shower water is hot around 40C degrees which will make you feel relaxed after a long haul flight. There are also toiletries provided. We were supposed to stay for two nights but due to Typhoon Hagibis, we had to shorten our stay to one night. There was no fuss with the hotel staff when we told him about this. He just let us pay for one night stay instead of the original two. Just note that there's no lift. And you have to surrender your key to the reception everytime you go out. And you also have to remove your shoes in the bedroom.

Nothing.

The room was bigger than normal and the location was great.
